ADHD life hack. Keep forgetting to buy deodorant or laundry detergent? Buy something that you can’t stand the smell of and use it when you run out of your preferred brands. The smell will remind you to get the kind you actually prefer! In other news I keep getting a whiff of old spice…

Hey Capcom. We like this game you made but we aren’t sure about the title. We’re just gonna reword it to something totally different….

I read that as Doctor Who and the Giant Dicks. I am a child.

Are we still waiting on a release date for Bloodstained: Portrait of Ruin? One day I’ll remember the game’s actual name…

there's always that one mutual that never really interacts directly with you but they will always like your stuff and you will communicate with each other through the silent like button but never really exchanged any words. i see you moot. i wish you well. smooch

The good news is I know why I’ve felt so tired and out of it all weekend. The bad news is I was up on the toilet most of last night and it’s almost time for work! 🫠

Day 9: Favorite Battle System (Early post, busy day tomorrow) No contest for me, FFX. A return to true turn based combat and showing the turn order was the precursor for SaGa Scarlet Grace and my favorite combat ever, SaGa Emerald Beyond.

Slightly diminish a game Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Six

Twenty-three months sober.

Day 8: End of an Era The cutscene that marked the end of FFXIV 1.0 when the game was shut down for a few months before relaunching as A Realm Reborn. After months of seeing the red moon get closer and closer in game the servers went down and this went up. youtu.be/39j5v8jlndM?...

Day 7: Favorite Job System Final Fantasy Tactics and to understand why you have to understand why I don’t like FF3 or FF5 *gasp* To me, the job system works best as a way to build up characters and worst as a solution to a puzzle.

I think about this game a lot.

The game with the greatest Wikipedia page!

It’s good you came to see me…

If you followed me and then muted me:

You never know what people are doing off Bsky. Just like you don’t know why they come to social media. People deserve to have a corner of the internet where they don’t have to face the hell of the world, don’t take that away from them.

Sometimes I make the mistake of checking Facebook and looking at retro game posts. I thought the days of people getting upset over SNES v Genesis were over… They say BlueSky is a leftist echo chamber. Maybe. But people seem to understand others like different things and aren’t threatened by that.

Stop making games you expect to sell 10 million copies of. Make 10 games you expect to sell 1 million copies of instead.

Day 6: Worst N- “It looks like you’re reading a Blue Sky post! Commencing irritation protocol! Bluesky (abbreviated as Bsky) is an American [Mai…]microblogging social media service. Users can share short posts [shut up Mai] containing text, images, and videos. It is owned by Bluesky Social PBC!”

I played the crap out of this one. Lost my little mind Christmas 1984.

One day kids won't know the true horrors of physical media. Do your duty and remind them!

I picked this up earlier, the PS1 retro graphics look amazing. Play the demo first before playing the full version, the PS1 demo vibes are on point there too.

Really excited for tomorrow's FF challenge post. The days I've been looking forward to the most are 5, 7, and 13 but after I took a minute to think about it there is a really good answer for 6 too.

I’ve really been skipping the news and discourse so far this year, so here’s Clove the squirrel

Day 5 Best Villain: Emet Selch Hell, maybe best FF character full stop. You go from hating him to realizing if you were in his position you would have done the same. I only wish they hadn’t brought him into Endwalker…but EW was the worst anyway so why not?

Yesterday was the Christmas epiphany and today is Orthodox Christmas. That means tomorrow it’s social acceptable to administer capital punishment on people who still haven’t taken down their god damn Christmas lights!

I’m happy they are fixing the bugs but couldn’t those have been patches instead of a whole new release?

I’m a bit of a dull boy. Also I’m not sure what the difference is between visited and stayed so if I slept in a hotel I used visited and with friends as Orange

So remember, if WW3 doesn’t start this year we won’t get Wesley Crusher! 🤞

There’s a town in Idaho named Whata Bod? Time to pack up my shit and move there! Admittedly, that town name would fit right in with Idaho.

I deleted my account last month. If you are like me and don’t want your posts used for training, don’t just let your account remain dormant, nuke it!

Day 4: Best Protagonist I give it to Zidane because there are so few thief/rogue types. But he’s not the person I want to talk about, that person doesn’t qualify but he’s getting an honorable mention…

And using the superior N64 controller.

Early plans for the year: SaGa 1 Wonderswan Secret of Varonis SaGa 3 DS Trails in the Sky 3rd chapter FFXIII-2 Dragon Quest 1&2

Whoa! The Dragon Quest VII remake demo is super generous! It even includes a battle in it! How many hours is this thing?!

And Legend of Legacy is done. I thought I was gonna have to do a lot of grinding but turns out the last boss was quite vulnerable to counter attacks.

Introduce yourself with 4 indie games Older indies edition!

Went to the game store

Day 3: Worst Final Fantasy Might be surprising coming from a SaGa fan since it's basically SaGa 0 but the famicom version of Final Fantasy 2 is an absolute chore to play. The progression system is there, but the grinding needed is dreadful, especially since raising some stats lowers others.

This is such a common refrain while thousands of indie games devs toil and do exactly what these people profess to want, if only they would take a look beyond what is shoved in front of their face. Not trying to call this person out specifically but like, just look a little bit beneath the surface.

Anytime any character is depicted as playing a video game and frantically and randomly mash every input.
