I've rewatched Twin Peaks recently and now seeing this Dune meme, I've realized that Stilgar in (David Lynch's) Dune is played by Big Ed! ๐Ÿ˜ฒ๐Ÿคฏ

At first I thought this was like the best case scenario for this deck, having 10 lands and 512 power Tifa on turn 4, but then I thought what if I had Scapeshift, instead of the unused Over the Edge, and played it before Lumra, getting 7 lands including 3 self-sacrifice... 33million power turn 4? ๐Ÿค”

Finally, after finishing Dragons' Den, Kaiser Dragon, Omega and Soul Shrine yesterday, I finished all of Rages today for the 100% RA mastery. The last one being the bugged Death Warden, which only appears on Veldt when you re-encounter him in Soul Shrine #retroachievements #finalfantasy #retrogaming

I've beaten the game last year for the RetroAchievement Challenge League, but didn't have the time to farm the Rages or to farm levels to do the post-game content, so I've caught up with it over the last couple of weeks and finally have another Final Fantasy checked off ๐Ÿ™‚

"Psychadelic JamBand Progressive Rock" seems ultra specific for what is usually just called prog rock ๐Ÿ˜… But yeah, these pretty much sum up my musical tastes, maybe along with prog metal and classic rock...

This one, on the other hand, is no surprise at all. Pin Floyd have been my top artists every year ever since I started tracking such stuff on last.fm back in the days ๐Ÿ˜€

Beaten and mastered Breath of Fire today, as well as reached rank #900 on the RetroAchievements site today! #retrogaming #retroachievements

So this is in the first Might & Magic, first released 1986. In Might & Magic VI (1998), you're also sent to find Lord Kilburn. Might & Magic X, where you're also sent to find Lord Kilburn was in 2014. So roughly in 2028, we're due another RPG Might & Magic, right? ๐Ÿ˜… #retrogaming #mightandmagic

"And what perilous quest shall you send us onto, oh mighty lord of the Blackridge Castle? Perhaps we need to slay a dragon? Perchance our fate is to wage battle against an archfiend? Mayhaps we need to rescue a damsel from the lair of bandits most villainous?" "Bring me Garlic." #retrogaming

This is interesting - the maps in the manual of the NES version of Might and Magic 1 (both the intro town map and the blank) have incorrectly marked X-axes, to the point that by X=8, it's off by a space. The inn is indeed at X,Y=8,3 as the manual says, but on the map it looks off... #retrogaming
