This is just reminding me that I lost my original island that I worked on all through COVID. 🥲

I know I should pick it back up, but the wound is still fresh!

I'm just gonna take a wild guess that some of you are suddenly going to be interested in the SEGA Dreamcast right about now...

It's compelling, it has an intriguing set up and overall narrative, great characters, the RPG battle system is turn based which I LOVE, but with added parries or dodges for additional defense or damage. And the OST is PERFECT. It's incredible.

If I may be "Modern Blast" for a moment...

This is my favorite video game that I've played this year so far.

It's also one of my favorite video games of all-time now.

NGL I completely removed the Discover feed from my page. I just use following, popular with friends, and mutuals and my experience is way better.

Look, if you had told any SEGA or Nintendo kid in the 90s that this would happen someday, their heads would have exploded on the playground.

For those who were around to see it happen, I know you get it.

SEGA never could resist taking shots at Nintendo any chance that they got.

90s kids had a constant front row seat to the greatest console war of all-time and it was awesome!

I get that completely, it's a gorgeous game tbh. I played it on my ultrawide OLED monitor and it was insanely pretty.

It won't land for everyone, but it completely captivated me. I'd say stick with it, but you know what you'll like or won't like!

I hope it sticks the landing for you too!

The story spoke to me and the gameplay hit all the right notes for me too. I still think about it constantly. To me, it's an all around masterpiece.

I adore this game.
