In a just world there would be more vinyl GBA osts.
I cant think of a console that benefits more from this treatment other than maybe PC98.
Imagine Norihiko Hibino’s Boktai on vinyl with good headphones. Those guitars and whistles and strings. Ugh. I miss Ship to Shore. We at least deserve BN4-6.

Relistening to the Battle Network 2 ost and I think there’s real value to hearing GBA sounds through analog beyond the novelty.
I dont think its just nostalgia speaking when I say the GBA sound is misunderstood; it was the last machine where you heard the actual hardware sing like that.

🧛Code Vein (2019)
Finally finished in prep for CVII
Character/monster designs, boss fights, and gimmick dungeons are all a treat.
Relationships, story beats, environs fell a bit flat.
Once I settled on a class I rarely experimented but skill floor was just the right height
BN makes good RPGs

I love Disaster Report 4

Disaster Report 4 (2018)
Baffling game.
Localization is ROUGH
Not since MGSV have I seen such tonal whiplash.
Even 3 on PSP had more actual "disaster" segments. 4's mostly helping people tidy up after.
Endings are awful, makes zero sense.
Still had a great time. My kinda game. Love Granzella.

78. Automaton Lung
Play on 3DS if you can.
The lonely solipsism of 3D action games perfected. Absence of player direction in conversation with the intrinsic motivators of Video Games. Places to go but where? Things to find but why?
Movement that feels like anything is possible
Sequel is looking hot.

77. Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers
Trying to blend then-contemporary action/adv design with wii idiosyncrasies is fun!
Missed inputs are a fact of life; to live is to suffer
Gorgeous assets, characters, environments.
Sonic Adventure-ass final boss is outstanding.

76. Phantasy Star 0 (2008)
university roommate multiplayer RPG of choice. The frontiersman/scifi mash-up works great for the setting and new character classes. Mother Trinity and Deeply Upsetting Horse Dark Falz are s-tier designs. Shame it never got another shot like Portable did. I love the moon

@cbbworld.bsky.social the way I hooted and hollered for the final 8 minutes of this episode. Bless your hearts. What a treat.

Not a ton of reliable documentation on New3DS batteries out there so I took a risk and ordered this one that looks like gas station boner pills and this one that looks like normal boner pills. Will report back

⚙️Metal Gear Solid Mobile (2008)
I love this stuff.
Slow pace obvsly designed for phones so feels sluggish on emulator+controller.
Feels like it should have been a larger episodic thing.
Nothing really ambitious, puzzles are repetitive, but I had fun for a couple hours

between these amazing speedruns, replaying the series with the Mrs. over the past few months, and listening to the chapo retrospectives, it's a good time to just remember that these are all the very best video games ever made

come on, man, we cant be doing things like this.
there's got to be a better way

🏥Corpse Party 2: Dead Patient - Chapter 1
Rough and unpolished but that's CoPa's charm

The DS Pokemon visuals are fantastic; low-res textures with cel-shaded models is a treat -- hope this engine stays but I'm looking forward to *both* CoPa2s

This guy sure likes writing *certain stuff* huh

Watched Corpse Party: Tortured Souls after hearing it was gruesome/bad.
sorry to say its only marginally more gory than your average edgy power fantasy anime.
Knowing that its an adaptation of a Bad End sets expectations for quality/shock.
Stumbles as an OVA and adaptation. Didnt hate it tho?
