Don't have a pin on here yet so... Hi!

I'm Andrew AKA Fusionx AKA ROFLDRG.

18 years ago I started a Final Fantasy XI podcast called Pet Food Alpha.

After that, I helped create Gamer Escape @gamerescape.bsky.social and Aetheryte Radio @aetheryteradio.bsky.social - a Final Fantasy XIV podcast

Holy shit! It's the second ever boat that went to Aht Urgan! I've told stories of this before!

Found a whole stack of CD-Rs... one was labled "#FFXI Screenshots"

Hot damn!

Perfectly normal to be frustrated in these circumstances.

Sorry you have to deal with all this dumb stuff.

Cleaning and came across some physical PC games. I used to use my employee discount on these when I worked retail, they're all redeemed digitally so I think I'll finally toss them.

I wonder if these D3 and WoW guest passes are still valid. Imagine if THIS is what got me into WoW in 2025 haha

Resident Evil Survivor is done for my RE marathon!

Thursday we'll be jumping into Code Veronica- which is the first Resident Evil title that I ever picked up!

Fusionx @rofldrg.bsky.social · 1d

Looks like the new Dissidia just might be a liscensed reskin of an existing mobile game?

Bleh.

Raccoon City: We had a zombie outbreak.

Sheena Island: Hold my beer. *drops beer*

Going live with Resident Evil Survivor! If you've never seen this game and love the voice acting of the original RE1, then boy do I have some good news for you!

The ROAD TO RE9UIEM continues this week as we move away from the incident in Raccoon City and make our way into Survivor and Code Veronica!

Release games in other languages. Release games set in other parts of the world.

But for the love of god, understand that not everyone knows those other languages and provide a way to understand things like signage or foreign language vocals if you're releasing in other countries.

Fusionx @rofldrg.bsky.social · 1d

I'll even go one step further and say by not providing voice acting for the regions the game is releasing in, they are, out of the gate, showing that they don't think the game will perform well, because it feels like they didn't think VA was worth the effort.

Fusionx @rofldrg.bsky.social · 1d

After seeing the trailer for Dissidia... I'm kinda meh? I might try it, but there are two things that make me not wanna touch it.
1. SE's history with mobile titles in the West.

2. Japanese voices.
You're a Japanese dev, I get it. But I want to be able to understand what the characters are saying.

Thursday's stream got DC'd into 3 VODs, Today's got chopped into 2 with a Twitch disconnect.

My YouTube videos are fine though?

Is Twitch just really having issues, or is my net being weird and YT just handles disconnects better? Hrm...

Fusionx @rofldrg.bsky.social · 3d

Nupe.

Really sucks to see.

I think it says something that every time I get ready to podcast, I open up something called "Edge"

Fusionx @rofldrg.bsky.social · 3d

Because we need more Dissidia things to tide us over... we have 30 second clips of the songs that, presumably, represent the current teased roster.

I've always loved the remixes they put into these games.

I remember having a lot of fun with the PSP ones.

Fusionx @rofldrg.bsky.social · 4d

Haha, I was thinking that too. Absolutely.

Fusionx @rofldrg.bsky.social · 4d

At this point I'm expecting news about a Dissdia collab with some crazy expensive high end fashion brand so you can buy all the characters "real world" clothing for like $3,000

Fusionx @rofldrg.bsky.social · 4d

The modern design on character clothing here is... so weird.

Even wilder is the flyer in the second post down about a Tokyo Festival...

A real world mashup is... super weird.
