It still blows my mind that after 9 years of Switch & Switch 2, there's been no official release of Chrono Trigger. I mean, it was on Nintendo DS and even Wii U. Still seems absurd we can play Chrono Cross on Switch but not Chrono Trigger.

"We don't need FDA regulation -- leave safety to us," said food companies whose products are being recalled as they poison and kill people.

The BlizzCon coverage at Wowhead was simply abysmal this year. It so shows that they let Perculia and so many writers go. I'd love to find a replacement.

Loving what I'm seeing... but admittedly this is also making me low key bummed I didn't get the Blizzard job I was up for recently. One day, maybe...

I'm not sure what hit me harder... the fact that a game just got announced that won't be out for four years... or just the simple fact that this is the first time we are actually talking about the 30s. Starcraft looks fantastic. I really look forward to seeing progress at every BlizzCon.

I started the Final Fantasy Resonance demo last night. I finished it this morning. All available content, I think. Yeah... this one scratches the itch.

Acquisition of Square Enix and Capcom. More unrealistic: Announces intention publicly to give me lots of money to make games for them.

share your most unrealistic expectations for the Nintendo Direct

Back over 15 years ago in the crazy early days of Twitter, I got one of the coolest random followers that gave me an amazing bragging right: I'm being followed by a legitimate Disney Princess. Tonight that got an upgrade. So happy to watch as Susan Egan took her rightful place as a Disney Legend.

The whole thing has initiated a typhoon of P.R. damage control described by agriculture journalists as a “public health communications nightmare.” trib.al/MbsvJiM

We're in the Endgame now.

BREAKING: The FCC signaled it will repeal the cap on ownership of TV stations, abolishing a limit that keeps owners from controlling stations in more than 39% of markets. This move will allow Nexstar, one of the largest owners of TV stations, to buy rival Tegna in a massive deal.

Square Enix updated Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles over nine months after its release. Nine months. The fact that there is a team working in this engine still NINE MONTHS AFTER LAUNCH is so encouraging. I hope this also means there are more TRPGs coming from Square Enix soon.

Confession: I will often write a pedantic reply to an incorrect post, smile and nod... and then erase it without hitting publish. Also funny: I stopped writing publish with 'pub' thinking it would autofill in the rest, but instead it gave me three wrong options. One of those options was "puberty."

Honestly thrilled for Kairosoft on this one. They made an excellent simulation game and have just been steadily improving the formula and nudging the engine forward for years. Getting this kind of major payoff is amazing. I'm hoping this is just the beginning of their collab games.

Nobody talking about One Piece: Grand Gourmet but that one's got so much potential to be a sleeper hit. I'm telling you now. Especially since its not just on Switch and Switch 2 but also Steam, iOS and Android!
