Here's my retrospective of Final Fantasy XV, the latest entry in my Final Fantasy series. Thanks for any time you can spare to give 'er a look! vidyathoughts.com/2026/08/01/f...

I liked it. I don't care.

I like Fortune's weave. It is officially too long. All four Act 1 routes could have been significantly cut down and nothing of value would be lost. I am on Act 2 right now and I wish the rest of the game was paced like this. Bigger =/= better.

It took like 16 years, but it's the ending everyone predicted. Shame.

Why'd they draw him like that? Zany

All of these new Act 1 routes. I can't wait to learn how to promote units and traverse the world map four more times.

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown Steam code: 6BDHC-KVMCI-?7MAB ? = the number that represents the month of August

the truck from city escape has been compromised to a permanent end

"Hey [wife], have you heard of this dumb social media trend?" *looks at me like I am speaking a foreign language* I think I should steal her Internet habits.

Yuffie steals your carts and the game transforms into Sonic R afterwards. It's actually pretty sick

Request: Someone give me like 200,000 dollars right now in exchange for nothing. I need a change.

Every day. All the time. So many social and humanitarian crises are difficult to solve. The death penalty is not one of those. Just end it. www.dailyherald.com/20110124/opi...

New personality installed

Lunar 2: Eternal Blue is incredible actually, I like it more than the first by a reasonable amount. The story hits so many good notes, great music and art all the way through, love the characters just a fantastic game. It’s on sale on steam right now if you’re looking for a good old school JRPG!

if you're 30 right now then this was quite literally the coolest a guy could possibly be when you were a kid

RIP Pac, that's terrible.

I was too busy with the father and son big brother bowl to properly post 'hahahahahah packers'

VERY EARLY Fire Emblem review: The turn based combat kinda sucks ass. It feels like an afterthought. Maybe it gets better later but right now it feels like they went 'oh it'd grab attention if we put this in there' and didn't actually think much about it. Everything else rules.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani reveals that ‘Digimon’ is his favorite anime.

yeah I'm watching college football. And by that I mean the big brother feeds cutting out on the """pressure cooker""" veto challenge.

i’m sorry but you don’t begin your argument with “fe fi fo fum” unless you’re arguing in bad faith

lol damn

They played that damn song europeans sing at Bayley during the football game. It just subconsciously makes me cringe now. I hate it.

A channel that posts like two 40+ minute videos a week about in depth video game history is using AI slop to get shit done.

I found this incredibly endearing and heart-warming. I know most here probably aren't rooting for Devens tonight but it made me smile. #bb28

It's crazy how good MGS2 looks. And then it's like, you load MGS4, and then you can't believe how good it looks either. And now I'm starting MGS5 and jesus fucking christ.

Sony saw "phys-" and didn't bother to read the rest of the word, they just knew they needed out ASAP.

Hey as an artist it's really fucking cool and awesome that "looks like AI slop" has become such a normalized insult for works created by humans. Fuck off.

A good way to create AI apathy in me and others is to continue saying stuff you dislike looks like AI. Keep it up, you're making a lot of progress today.

character development

Why don't they release a metal gear gems collection? Ac!d 1 and 2 and also portable ops. This would please everyone

Devens volunteering himself as a pawn and then becoming the house target 😭 #BB28

I played FFXVI at the worst time. I got super busy right before beating it, so I'm worried that I'll forget all the important stuff I wanted to say when I finally get to actually write it.

God. The Brewers are so annoying.

I did my part and saw Coyote vs ACME. It was enjoyable!

This raises too many questions. Uncomfortable questions.

Banjo-Tooie Ending E

91.8% of players, having waited nearly 20 years for MGS4 to be playable on anything other than PS3, booted the game and immediately made a beeline for a statue's dick

Pete Crow-Armstrong on the non-balk call: "They’re out there every day like we are. Their one job is to get calls right, and if they get it wrong, they're supposed to talk about it, figure it out, and get it right. And they didn't. ... I think they find new ways to screw something up every day."
