I did not see the video. The video tells on me. The video says things I don’t want said.

Hear me out: What if instead of the Animal Crossing update, they released DQVII Reimagined this week instead? For me?

Bananza was close behind, but my GOTY clinched the number one spot.

ICYMI, over on onemorerun.blog, I talked about how repetition doesn’t have to be repetitive in either running or turn-based RPGs.

I really like this blog, especially the conclusion. Grayson is actually making me feel more interest in running, which is an impressive feat! 😄

My dog's superpower is making it untenable to ignore her when she's ready for her walk. Her stare has the power of a thousand suns.

The mask area of Clair Obscur drags a bit story-wise but Looks Cool, so I’m conflicted as to whether it was good or just flashy aesthetically

Side note: I genuinely adore that Square Enix seems committed to these kinds of "play the first few hours of a long game" demos. They feel like getting the first chapter of a serialized novel for free. It's smart, and it really wins me over.
The fact that this scene genuinely delivered pathos via a pink skeleton is proof nobody does it like Dragon Quest

Caught up with someone I hadn't seen since they moved away after fourth grade, and was told I look "the same, but stretched out." I'll take it.

Just found out my wife might be losing her job, so I'm desperately searching for work. Contract, full-time, freelance, whatever. Press, PR, consulting, anything. I have 16 years of editorial experience and have been writing about games for 13. Reviews, news, previews, guides, etc. RTs appreciated.
