It's complete! All bookcases are filled, and all my games now have a home. This has been more than a decade in the making, with my collection being in storage for so long. I am so happy to finally have it done. It looks rad, too.

I'm sure this is fine.

I really like Control Resonant's leveling system. I like that you overall get stronger when unlocking other weapons and finishers. You get more tools to experiment with as you unlock stuff, but if you just like what you have already, you still get the power benefit of unlocking those other tools.

Uh oh, I'm already realizing that I need to buy a 5th bookcase for the game collection. The next game I buy will fill up bookcase #4. Going to think over it this week and then make a decision in a couple days. I don't like making snap purchases, so I'd rather think on it first.

I appreciate that people want a new Mass Effect, but the future where fans advocate for the work itself and not the people who make it is the one the vultures at EA want. If you'll take it however you get it, they can keep treating people who make what you love as expendable.

Oh no, what now?

Snug as a bug in a fabled rug... it's Bug Fables! #pixelart #gameboy

The Cave of Waters in FF Resonance has great dungeon music. One of my favorites so far.

A RED STAR SHINES OVER BRAZIL! Lula is reelected! Brazilians managed to mobilize and beat Bolsonaro, Trump, Meta, Google, Netanyahu, media oligarchs, corrupt judges, fascism, imperialism, apathy and hatred! May this victory bring hope to all our comrades fighting across the world! We can beat them

I can't believe I typed "the this". I've made a grave error in my apology for my previous grave error.

Having my Whole Nintendo Switch 2 front Page filled with titles I worked on is so freaking cool.

So when I convert video files in Handbrake, my "conversion complete" sound is the Tekken 3 announcer. I'm sitting here watching Tree House of Horror when suddenly the conversion ended with perfect timing

I'm really curious if FF Resonance's success makes SQEX think deeply about how they approach FF's mainline series in the future. I guess that depends on HOW well Resonance sells.

I seriously can't believe we have a true turn based, 2D-HD Final Fantasy on console and PC. I have been waiting for this for literally years. SQEX can do whatever they want with the main FF series as long as they also keep pumping out games like Resonance. Hell, I'll play both.

Final Fantasy Resonance is out, so for this week's #RandomGameSaturday, here's my boxed copy of the very first Final Fantasy for NES!

God dammit, Debbie!

It's very important to keep in mind that it's not THAT bear that attacked him, but one like it.

Video game controllers. Modern ones have their fair share of issues (stick drift being the most common), but the form factor and the feel is the best it's ever been, especially if you're like me, and you've been cursed with Big Hands™️.

I genuinely wish I had more money than I know what to do with, because I would blow it on things like buying Arkane Lyon.

three sources coming to the same conclusion :) :) :)

It's a lesson on how much these systems can shape player perception, not just of an individual game but of entire genres and eras of gaming. In the case of beat 'em ups, the continue system literally flattened them to the point where most people can only distinguish the themes.

Painful review of the Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle on Steam that really highlights how destructive the continue system was to people's perception of arcade games. The beat 'em ups mentioned play wildly different from one another if you're actually trying to survive on 1 credit.

I have finally have video evidence of the dance my dog does when I feed him.

Oh okay, so Tim was always an absolute piece of shit.

Finally, we get a reveal for who Absolute Green Arrow is, and I am so happy right now.

Technically, a dictionary is a book of spells.

One of the best pieces of advice I got for the presentation of my game collection was to add little video game character figures to add some personality.
