Finished up the post game in Dragon Quest 2 HD-2D (thanks to @square-enix-games.com for the code!) and what an absolutely incredible way to cap off this remake trilogy. Perfection.

Go watch many games media folk play Mario Kart World to fundraise medical relief for @begroom.bsky.social and his wife Jen dealing with MG.
If we hit their 20k goal by the end of night, I will shave my head (and I really don't want to do that).

The Square Enix layoffs really hurt to see, especially having had the chance to meet and work with people I know who are being affected by it. Feels like this industry is only getting smaller and smaller when it comes to the human element, and I hate to see it keep happening.

The PS2 truly is the best console ever because it is constantly becoming more powerful. Each time we say something "looks like a PS2 game" we're talking about a game of a higher fidelity than the last. What the PS2 is capable of in 2025 is so far beyond what it was capable of in 2003. That's amazing

Interesting insight into the Mina delay and some great specific examples of what polish is.
On Monday, Yacht Club Games delayed the much-anticipated upcoming game Mina the Hollower.
On Tuesday, I visited their studio and saw the game. It made for a rare glimpse at why a video game gets delayed and what "polish" actually means.

Yacht Club Games hasn't given a new release date, but the delay shouldn’t be more than a few months
