I know Cyndaquil was already in the last Legends game, but seeing this lineup always makes me just think Tepig is being a poser

You can watch me listen to music and occasionally buzz in to answer in time!

Questionably proud of this 🤔

Don’t tell my crush I’m a mobile gamer

This was a fun one, and the variety of possible games made it fairly unpredictable!

Your videos and you yourself will always be worth more than a couple of careless sentences by children who haven't (or might not ever) reach maturity

I'm going to continue to inhale Pokopium until we get another Trading Card Game in the style of an RPG, but for the modern times. If they want to translate Invasion of Team GR, that's totally fine too.

In lighter(?) news
A spider showed up on my wall when I was in low health in Trails in the Sky. It's... shockingly appropriate and is now the theme of struggling to get the spider out of your room.

Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter - Pinch!! [1 Hour Extended]

Yeah I've never felt less excited for a new console release window. Small exclusives library, bloated pricing, huge dev cycles... everything about it just feels like diminishing returns. The PS6 is going to be a luxury item like the PS5 Pro. And I think I learned my lesson with the original PS5.

VGC @videogameschronicle.com · 3d

Both PS6 and the next Xbox are planned for a 2027 release, according to separate reports.

PS6 and next Xbox console are both aiming for 2027 release, separate reports claim | VGC

Both companies are reportedly planning to release their next-gen consoles within two years…

Question for all of you: Do you know a creator on YouTube who is also getting into the Trails series for the first time with 1st Chapter? Do you know any veterans of who have experience with the rest of the series? Reaching out to see if we can have a different kind of discussion on the channel 👀

Games like Digimon are currently on the plate, so its understandable

Can't believe it's already been a year since Metaphor: ReFantazio released. The memories I made with this game were so surreal, from meeting some of the devs to playing the game itself. They mentioned how seeing the excitement from fans overseas helped motivate them, and it showed so well.

Had both the Check Transmission and Check Emissions lights go on at the same time… I don’t think my mental state can handle spending a potential couple thousand on car repairs on top of rent this month. A little lost with dread right now

Prices are going up everywhere and the economy is in shambles

There’s quite a few GameCube games that have been remade or remastered that I wish I could see on NSO too. Real funny how much better the original Symphonia would stand over the remaster haha

Daniel Alba @daniel.gvg.io · 7d

Also, the insides of each of the boxes. Vesperia has a shot of the tree in Halure. Tales of Graces f lets you switch to the original box art design with a reversible cover. And Symphonia has absolutely *nothing*

I’m looking forward to adding Tales of Xillia to the collection this month. Glad to have multiple games preserved, but we’re still lacking an actual new title…

I’ve reached Chapter 3 of Trails in the Sky and I
1) have no idea what I’m going to do about the rest of the series from here when I finish the game
2) miss her already

That and the fleas going “Awooo” made it worth every dollar

Daniel Alba @daniel.gvg.io · 8d

Thanks man! This felt like one of those videos where I hope I didn’t come across as too entitled or anything. What you mentioned is mostly where I was coming from, just the need to move on. I’ve sadly found myself rolling credits on less games lately.

Daniel Alba @daniel.gvg.io · 9d

This isn’t a review of Silksong, but rather a look into how we might perceive the value of a game based on its length and price. Maybe a little different from where I usually tread, but I enjoyed making this~

This didn't age well but it does mean that Tales of Xillia is now the true Halloween title to reign supreme in 2025.

Daniel Alba @daniel.gvg.io · 15d

Got a real interesting pair of Halloween games releasing on the 31st this year
