remembering a bunch of fake screenshots of FFT floating around with Ramza saying various leftist things and it seems plausible he could have said most of them.

I will vote for the politician who has the conviction to enforce a new Hank Green standard upon our nations grocery stores.

Quick reminder: Ys VIII is out there and you could play it. You could play it *right now*. Never played an Ys game before? That’s ok! The series is more of an anthology than a strict, linear story. Dive in to the series with VIII if you like action-focused JRPGs.

The average American has three friends.

Oof that intro to Expedition 33… what an incredible start.

Blue Prince has captivated my entire family. I am not allowed to play it if my wife and daughter aren’t sitting on the couch ready to holler at me that I’ve “missed something” and “need to go back”. Highly recommended.

The stock market lost 2 trillion dollars this week *so far*

Wife: don’t make plans for next Saturday we have a show we’re going to see. Me: Oh ok what show? Wife and daughter in creepy unison: You’ll see!

Have the “We needed a recession!” talking points been rolled out yet on the right?

Shangri la Frontier is a far better anime than it has any right to be. The whole family is hooked.

There are only 3 kinds of rewards designer. I will not explain.

Predictably I’m sick from traveling back east for the holidays. My wife is also a *little* under the weather. Enjoy this completely unrelated pic.

Don’t mind us just being New England as fuck in Freeport Maine these past few days.

Digging my new shirt.

Merry Christmas everyone. My daughter has been grinning from ear to ear over the gift she got for me. We played this in an arcade in Osaka this past July. I hadn’t expected to see Drum chan again so soon!

I randomly picked up Wizardry Variants Daphne on the iPhone this week and I gotta say: This is a really great game that I think most people are going to miss entirely. It’s a F2P dungeon crawler that is dark as hell and dripping with pathos. If you like grim dark hardcore RPGs check it out!

Excited to dive into PoE 2 @path-of-exile.bsky.social this weekend! I just need to attend one kids league soccer game and then run my first session of the Mothership @mothership.bsky.social RPG before I can begin.

I love that Warcraft II received its first balance changes in 24 years. us.forums.blizzard.com/en/blizzard/...

You’re a mean one Monsieur La Croix

I’m getting blockchain game “Play to Earn” vibes. www.dexerto.com/gaming/elon-...

Once again my heart has been claimed by a Mount and Blade Warband mod named “The Last Days of Middle Earth” It’s fun to take a lesser known faction like the Lake men of Dale and push it into direct conflict with Mordor during the War of the Ring. Don’t worry Gondor, Dale is here to slay Sauron. 🏹

It shall be an heirloom of my kingdom.

I used to follow a lot of video game music composers and arrangers on X that sadly haven’t made the swap to Bluesky yet. I really hope they do at some point.

@paultassi.bsky.social where are the Metaphor updates? Stop doing other things and focus on what matters: writing about how you now like what I like.

Wait I’m confused. Is Gintama good?
