Did you know? In Japanese, Mickey's famous "They'll pay for this!" is used again in KH3! Mickey says it as he leaps up to cast Stopga right after Xehanort crystalizes Kairi.
(The Japanese version "許さない" is closer translated along the lines of "I won't forgive them")

What would happen if Kingdom Hearts V CAST was canon? I've worked out a way to fit it into the larger KH timeline, and the narrative implications are pretty wild

When you defeat Maleficent in Kingdom Hearts V CAST, the game marks your save file with a flag named "MALEF_DEAD". You killed her.
i was going through my X archives and found this by @superpodsaga.com, which I qrt'd at some point years ago
so, let me bring the question back: what is the most useless piece of video game knowledge you know?

Thanks to @aid1043.bsky.social and Penguinstrain, Columns Jewel has an English patch! This was a #Columns keitai game that was preserved last year. It has a story mode, where Sana travels back in time after wearing a mysterious bracelet. There's also a puzzle mode with 40 puzzles!

You think Kingdom Hearts is confusing because you lack the patience for a 20-year interwoven story.
I think Kingdom Hearts is confusing because "Dark Assault" is localized as "Dark Strike" but "Dark Ammo" is localized as "Dark Assault."
We are not the same: you clearly have spent your time better.

I've been thinking about KH2 Pride Lands.
Usually, Reaction Commands let you attack the enemy that prompted them – other enemies can get caught in the crossfire, but that's incidental.
But all three Pride Lands Heartless have RCs that explicitly let you target anyone on the battlefield.

Apparently, this Monday is the two-year anniversary of my channel! I never believed a simple V CAST video would grow into something like this.
I have a big project that ever-so-coincidentally wrapped up last month, so I guess we're having an anniversary special. Stay tuned for more info!
