🎮: Dragon Quest HD-2D

Wabi-sabi crust

From the pages of @newedgeswordmag.bsky.social! It’s the Fafhrd cocktail recipe by @kevinbeckett.bsky.social!

It’s extremely good! Bonded Old Grand-Dad works really well here with the cinnamon and ginger and cranberry.

(I sadly did not have the crème de violette to make the Gray Mouser)

I just wanted to verify that Mountain Dew was created first.

I would do filthy, unspeakable things to see some of my favorite 16-bit JRPGs get the HD-2D treatment.

I’m willing to bet we do eventually see Chrono Trigger as long as this trend remains viable but a truly definitive release of Tales of Phantasia would be heavenly.

I don’t have dedicated toddy / Irish coffee mugs yet.

Lord Dunsany’s proto sword and sorcery stories slap so fucking hard, holy shit.

From “The Fortress Unvanquishable, Save for Sacnoth.”

He may well be my favorite. I love him.

I don’t know a goddamn thing about Homestuck but a student drew me as a troll.
November 21, 2025 at 2:15 PM
Hell fucking yeah, I love getting stuff like this. Best gift a student can give a teacher is silly handmade stuff like this.

I’m saving this for the day I finally play Dragon Age: Origins.

Always a good day when I find a Ballantine Adult Fantasy paperback in the wild and in good shape.

And gosh I love this cover.

The Butcher of the Forest by @premeemohamed.com is the the kind of book that makes me wish I was better at more succinctly talking about books instead of just a generic “I loved this!”

I did love it though. It evoked a lot of pain and the bittersweet relief following an anxiety attack.

Read it.

I read this in Mr. Plinkett’s voice.

I collect playing cards so I was excited when I saw there were Frieren cards.

But they are SO ASS.

The royalty for each suit is just the same promo art of one character. The backing is just the same key art using for the anime.

These could have been so good

(There are apparently better ones tho)

Found a neat barmat to help keep my counter clean. Evan Williams Bottled-in-Bond was my first “good” whiskey and it’s still one of my go-tos.

Here’s the 2 dollar bill version of the photo everyone takes when they see Mario at Target

I’ve been really really picky about vinyl lately but this is absolutely coming home.

Streaming Arrow releases are pretty scant too and they always do a great job. All the Ys and Falcom stuff they’ve done so far has been a real joy.

Went with the marble swirls!

I pulled over so fast.

2 oz. brown butter washed bourbon
+ two spoons of Demerara sugar
+ hot water
+ Star anise and a cinnamon stick

sweet baby jesus this is good
November 11, 2025 at 3:17 AM
I fat-washed some bourbon in brown butter for just such an occasion.
November 11, 2025 at 3:12 AM
And again.

I have this pen (a Retro 51 Tornado if you must know) that has these little pixel
art inventory items up and down the barrel.

I’m sure this is to evoke The Legend of Zelda but I like to think they were going for Final Fantasy Mystic Quest.
