Digital Devil Saga

NEW from me:
I have so many fond memories of being a Tamagotchi boi back in the late 90s, so much so that I bought one for my daughter. I hate it.
Need to hear your ‘Gotchi stories please.

I would want myself, baby, please believe me
I'll put you through hell just to know me, yeah, yeah
So sure of yourself, baby, don't get greedy
That shit won't end well, no, it won't end well

My latest for @rpgsite.net. Blue Protocol Star Resonance is fine, I guess. The specter of the original game looms large, though

Blue Protocol: Star Resonance is a pleasantly repetitive experience that leaves no lasting impression | RPG Site
Blue Protocol: Star Resonance — the gacha-fied spinoff MMORPG — tries to do a lot, but it ends up being less than the sum of its parts.

The Ryan Murphy Kim Kardashian lawyer show really is soooo bad like somehow every actor including Glenn Close is acting like they’ve never interacted with another human being before

I never want to hand out 10/10s easily. I also want to avoid extreme statements unless I really mean them.
So when I tell you that Hades 2 is a 10/10 and the best roguelike of all time, you can be assured that I mean it.

Hades 2 Review: The Best Roguelike of All Time
When people talk about the original Hades, much of the conversation ends up centering around the story. I’m guilty of this as well. But the story in that game was such a remarkable achievemen…

Okay the second one was pretty awesome but I also am someone who liked AHS 1984
Growing up I was a huge fan of RL Stine’s Goosebumps and Fear Street books. Decided to watch the Fear Street trilogy on Netflix since I missed it in 2021. The first was decent enough that I’m seated for the second lol

My cousin has become a pokemon speculator despite my misgivings but he did bring me these boxes to give to my kids filled with cards because he said he took the rare ones out? Like not sure this is the best use of your time and money but my kids are happy to be on the receiving end

Digital Devil Saga: Megami Tensei (1987) was an RPG by Atlus for the Nintendo Famicom. Thanks to a computer program, demons walk the Earth! But all is not lost as its inventor, Akemi, and ally, Yumiko Shirasagi, battle to free the goddess Izanami from Lucifer's clutches! (a devil code thread)
