Not the best weekend, but really really proud and excited to share my Ninja Gaiden 4 review :) Definitely my Game of the Year, surprising no one - www.thegamer.com/ninja-gaiden...

the sphere grid isn’t round but you wrote that it’s circular

shame what video games journalism has become

I have fulfilled a lifelong ambition. I have finally had an article published on a Star Trek website!

The SNW cast also talks about how they are not ready to say goodbye.

(This is me inexplicably role-playing as a Mistborn character to be clear @professorrpg.bsky.social is always a good read)

Vin frowned, then began to read Scott’s review. To her pained surprise, she found herself enjoying his writing.

Journey before destination. My review for @brandonsanderson.com 's Cosmere RPG from @brotherwisegames.bsky.social is up over on @ign.com ! These books are works of art, and are treasure troves of lore goodness, wrapped up in a pretty awesome TTRPG. www.ign.com/articles/cos...

Cosmere RPG Review - IGN

Brandon Sanderson's fantasy universe gets the TTRPG treatment.

I imagine the folks who are particularly bummed about a single-city setting would be further irritated by a realistic approach. But the claustrophobia you speak of, that actually triggers some of my NYC memories.

Unova’s main city did good there, come to think of it. A real cluster! Sprites galore.

I have a confession

I’m an Xbox

Quinton O'Connor @quinton.bsky.social · 12h

Yep, as someone who grew up in NYC, I can safely say that Unova sure as heck doesn’t feel like it. There are glimpses, and some of those design elements are writ large, but it’s not the same degree. The cultural roots aren‘t as well-realized.

I’m slowly evolving into telling jokes about things more than three other people I know will actually understand

Quinton O'Connor @quinton.bsky.social · 13h

Congrats!

Quinton O'Connor @quinton.bsky.social · 13h

Oh, I don’t even mind them! I know that’s a pretty contentious stance, lmao.

Yeah, Asunder is good. It got me hyped as heck for Cole ahead of Inquisition, too!

The Masked Empire gave so much texture to the Orlais mission, too… hnnng. Generally, I want this stuff in-game, but I liked it here.

Seeing a lot of “this is Lumiose City” on my feed. Y’all can call it what you like but that’s definitely Midgar with a clean energy bill

This is somehow also true of Star Trek.

I think Asunder was my fave novel but The Stolen Throne had a GREAT supporting cast.

Aron Eisenberg (RIP) really ought to have been in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's opening credits by the final couple of seasons. Every time I rewatch his PTSD ep, that's driven home to me all over again.

Has any of them tried ... looking out the fucking window?

the AWS outage is affecting Ring doorbells. Sky News says “some users can’t see outside their house, definitely scary”

just look outside your window 😅

Turn A Gundam is a beautiful fever dream, damn.

This was a pretty fun entry that I don’t see much chatter over. Worth a try if you’re looking for an Atelier fix.
