If you don't like Marvel's Wolverine you should try out Shiren the Wanderer.

I need to remind everyone, especially after their presentation today.
Level-5 has been very openly using Generative AI in their game development and are proud of it. This includes their newly announced titles such as New World of Steam, Yo-Kai Watch 2 and Curious Village Remake.

Level-5 hurts more than... Any other game developer I can recall. It hurts worse than the death of ImageEpoch or the thought of Idea Factory still releasing games.

Torneko and Portopia are exciting.
Me from like five years ago would have been frothing for new Layton and the Yokai Watch remake but with Hino's obsession with AI, enything Level-5 just leaves a sour taste in my mouth.
Tragic how far they've fallen from being my favorite dev.

Ocarina discourse: I'll get over it eventually, and I love the art direction of the other 99% of the game, but the eyes of the main characters are too stylistically close to Margaret Keane for me. They're hauntingly large in a way that makes the facial proportions seem off.

Ocarina looks great, though I don't love the faces.
My biggest HMMM moment though is the over-feminization of Sheik.
I think the androgyny and disguise of the character in past versions of the game were an important and interesting aspect to explore of the character.

We need a new Phantasy Star Online that ISN'T 2.
I'm talking the classic grind in single player then take it online in multi-player PSO/PSU/PSP/PS0 style.

Got my first Retroachievements mastery last night. A double for .hack//Infection.
Boy howdy does fast forward make those long empty dungeon hallways easier. Completing the Book of 1000 was also not as bad as I thought.

Feels real nice to be back on the home turf of IMOQ with achievement functionality. It's got me using characters I usually don't touch (Natsume...) to build their affinity and get all their two-sentence emails.

What if I learned how to hack a game for a fan translation? I don't know if it's hubris or gay audacity speaking, but diving deep into resources it seems like a LOT but, like, an attainable skill for sure.

Finally digging back into Digimon Time Stranger with the big update to the farm.
Still a bit clunky of an experience, but it's always a joy to just flit through evolution trees.

Why do people post in Discord "Introduction" channels and say their name is something completely different from their screen name.
Baby, nobody is going to call you that unless you change your display name.

I know I did well when my DND players spend an hour after the session still debating and rationalizing a choice they made and what the potential repercussions could be or would have been.

Ripped, saves backed up, and re-boxed.
Some of these are real heavy hitters, price-wise. FE Fates Special Edition and Yokai Watch 3 both regularly go for over $500 💀
Keeping all my Pokémon, Etrian Odyssey, and maaaybe Dragon Quest stuff for sentimental purposes.

After 15 years of picking at it, I've finally managed to complete Xenoblade 1.
The Switch 2 upgrade made it so nice and I can't praise the addition of the hoverbikes enough.
Very intrigued to see the polishing that XC2 gets and tackle that one when it releases as well.

Pretty jaunty plat, all things considered. Still really love Zack as a character.
I wish they'd put a little more love into the old pre-rendered cutscenes but maybe they lost the source files and couldn't re-render them in HD.

Wrapped up the DQ3 HD story last night.
I'm looking forward to tackling the post game now, as I need a good mindless grindy game to relax with.

Continuing my Dragon Quest mood by finally playing 3 HD. This line was very lovely, though I know it's specifically referencing an actual gameplay mechanic lol.

I rolled credits on Pokopia and hada great time with it.
I'd LOVE to start building cool stuff now, but I'm left with the same sense I had in ACNH. I want to collect all the stuff/recipes before I get too in the decorating weeds so I have a full palette to paint before starting.

Two more trophies in DQ7R. 9 items left to collect and they're ALL in Lucky Panel.
Oh boy.
