this is true from the perspective of Aidan's knowledge on the subject and his general affability, but he's also really good at talking into a microphone! we edit the holy shit out of our show because we barely know how to talk, but Aidan came on and batted like .975. it's an under-rated pod skill.

presenting the retrograde amnesia thread of things we notice about the new localization for the Suikoden HD remasters. Futch calls Ted a hayseed. I think that's new.

"Suikoden I & II HD Remaster: Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars" is an inconsistent remaster of two genuine classics that retains everything great from the originals, but focuses too heavily on preservation at the expense of much needed quality-of-life improvements. My review 👇

wouldn't it be wild if we made another numbered episode for an older season of the podcast. wouldn't it be crazy if it came out tomorrow.

this is important work. I'm glad it's being done and it creates an expanded visualization of these places. but looking at Dazil and Bledavik like this is akin seeing the shambling legs of muppets and it makes me alarmed and uncomfortable.

it's no Bloody Roar 2, but Vs is shares the same space between the second and third tier of polygonal ps1 fighters. "what if the maniacs who made Incredible Crisis made a fighting game?" is a question I am glad we have an answer to.
