If you put the knife in and get too little peanut butter, you go back in and get more. If you get too much on the first scoop out, you never put the excess back. Never.

A passage from Nadia Oxford's From Pixels to Prose:

"I might not be able to prove Roger Rabbit polluted my console's innards with his filth, but I know the truth. God is with me."

Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined (Switch 2) Review - NWRTV YouTube video by Nintendo World Report TV

My first @nintendonwr.bsky.social video review of the year, a joint effort with the amazing @whilhorst.bsky.social, is for Dragin Quest VII Reimagined, an approachable remake for newcomers that loses some of the 3DS version's heart in the process:

Anyone want to convince to either pick up Dispatch or not? I'm pretty close to a purchase but would welcome more opinions on it. Not like I need any more games to play, but what I've seen has me very interested.

Outlaws is also on my short list of what to play next. I'm happy to hear Grand Bazaar was good enough to hold your attention that long. @culafi.bsky.social was also digging it, if I recall.

Ah, it's too bad to hear about another closure. I do hope we'll get another Mana game down the line at some point.

Played two hours of Visions of Mana last night, having wanted to play around launch but not having time to do so.

I found the opening of the game incredibly slow, with constant dialogue interjections really hurting the pacing. If it gets better, I may keep going, but otherwise I'm probably done.
