Super-impressive! You can really feel the weight of the ball

I've genuinely watched each retrospective at least 4 times, and this might just be my favourite of the bunch. Also can't wait for 2027 and XI

Wondering through the marshlands of Amazon reviews I saw something glorious and terrifying, and wondered if it was the work of @techdweeb.bsky.social ...

I emailed Anbernic, Ayn, Retroid and Ayaneo and they all said if anything you need more. Luckily there's another one coming out next week, and the week after that and the week after that, and the week after that...

Oh for sure :D Plus knowing the level of detail you provide, there's probably a 15 minute segment on why there's no voice acting after X was fully voiced, including 6 behind the scenes sessions of all the recorded dialogue that was cut, and a photo of how Hiromichi Tanaka's dog inspired San d'Oria

This might be a weird take, but if it's done in a way that makes it clear that FFXI doesn't have any voice acting, I think it'd be great. I'd just hate folks to hear FFXI acted out, join, and be disappointed that they had to read.

2027? Dang. I knew it was gonna be a big undertaking, but that's *huge*. Already looking forward to it :D

Well, first day of 2026 down and so far so good. Started FF16 again on PC and not sure why I bounced off it so much when it first came out. It does have me wondering what FF17 will be like.

Happy New Year All!

In 2026 I'm preparing to confront the final two bosses in #pico8 development: scoresub(), and Android support. Also a specialized .wasm runtime ("p8rt_ios") that can be used to make iOS companion apps for the BBS. More details here: www.reddit.com/r/pico8/comm...

Inspired by a video-game, but close enough. My 2026 resolutions

A hints screen from a video game with a list saying "You must kill at least 15 enemies to move on. Do not waste weapons. Try to touch all booty. Do not touch Skulls. Try to hurt the wizard every time you see him."

I have a 9 hour shift on the quietest day of the yearn I know ow what I'm doing!

Andrew Bluett's videos are always amazing. He strikes a great balance of being incredibly in-depth whilst being accessible and not overbearing.

The next 5.5 hours are gonna be an absolute joy

10/10 choice... or should that be 11/11. Truly one of Final Fantasy's greatest and a shame more people don't know about him.

At least until The Final Fantasy XI Retrospective 😁

Only thinking about or...

Only asking because of an upcoming 8 hour flight 😅

Absolutely love the Red Mage. Would not recommend running a squad of four 😅

Fun fact: the PAX in PAX Unplugged is actually short for Paximillian

XI JUST KEEPS WINNING

Rewatching @drubie.bsky.social 's Final Fantasy retrospective series as a sorta comfort thing. Don't know if they were supposed to be "cozy", but it's working :D They're great, and you should check them out

Anyway, if anyone wants me I'll be watching the FFV retrospective for the next few hours

Zaika Gourmet in Wausau is legit through best Indian place I've found in the US so far. Highly recommend if you're in the area

Had a rough day at work that looks to be turning into some rough weeks. Managed to lift myself out of the downed mood this evening. How? Music, and a mug of tea.

Apparently you can take the man out of Britain...

We literally bought every copy in the store. Christmas is coming up, y'know

Hey @oneshotrpg.bsky.social , should we get this? We need an experts opinion 😉

I'm sorry, are you questioning Friend Computer? Sounds like Communist behaviour
