Yeah, it's a repost, but please play this at my funeral without explanation or context. It's as good of an understanding of who I am as you're going to get and the people closest to me will understand.

Still working on my preview because I spent the last week without a computer, but I had a good talk with Dragon Quest VII: Reimagined producer Takeshi Ichikawa about how Square Enix is approaching the remake and what makes DQVII special 25 years later.

Pro Tip: If you want to hear the full version of Akira Yamaoka’s Total Chaos credit song ASAP, start a new game and “turn back.”
Or beat the game normally ofc.

The thing that stood out to me most all stream was how crisp #KIrbyAirRiders' player-created lobbies are. Ridiculously good in terms of being intuitive, good features, easy to join, easy to jump in, big lobbies, easy to sit idle or take part. Just needs match playback in the Paddock.

Reexploring #STALKER2 has been on my checklist for a long time, and the new improvements to the game, including Update 1.7, are pretty good. I also enjoyed being able to show off our Shackmap for this game. It's a big help and we hope people find it useful. Thanks for watching.

It looks like #STALKER2's Update 1.7 brought a whole bunch of new goodies just as our Shackmaps project launched its new interactive map for the game. As good a time as any for us to revisit one of our favorite 2024 games and show you how this map works. Come watch!

I still think about #DragonsDogma2 a lot for the sheer level of immersive gameplay it gave us. Never forgetting when a cave troll ran into the hub kingdom square, grabbed the shopkeep I was buying from, and started a fight with the entire townguard, my pawn, and me. Good times.

I think my only real expectation of the Zelda movie is that This Guy appears as a non consequential side character somewhere in the film…
And appears inexplicably as a non consequiential side character somewhere in every film after, regardless of circumstances.

I reviewed @necrosoftgames.com 's Demonschool for @shacknews.com, and I really dug it. It's gorgeous, charming, genuinely funny, and the combat system has the juice to keep you searching for the perfect turn.
Also, there's a Gunsmith Cats reference. You love to see it. Wholly recommended.
