Pacing is the Achilles heel of the JRPG.

This dude is intense and correct

Sort of depends on what kinds of games you enjoy. I’d say if you haven’t played Chained Echoes to give that a try.

Not yet but it has been on the backlog for a long time.

I had a productive break.

And by productive I mean I finished Expedition 33, Trails Through the Sky FC Remake and half of Octopath Traveler 0.

I’m over a hundred hours in and still occasionally finding new clues to push me forward.

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.

This book is great. It holds a prominent place in my office.

The average American has three friends.

Welcome back!

I need to play Bravely. I completely missed it back in the day.

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

Yep that’s in my top ten actually. Enjoy!

DayZ etc all the Bohemia Interactive games basically.

The Jackhammer is now an heirloom of my family, passed down from generation to generation via the coatroom.

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.

So brave

I want a massive metal version of that caution sign to hang on the wall.

Welcome to Hell!

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

Gotta quickly move on since AC:Shadows is actually awesome.

It was actually pretty cool.

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!

Yes this is good and correct.

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.

High praise for the reviews!
