I'm sure I'll replay 13 Sentinels someday. It'll be interesting to see how different the experience feels if I still remember the major plot points.

Soul Calibur is awesome. It's still surprising to me that it gets so little attention nowadays. I think it's the best 1v1 fighting series on the market.

Zelda II: The Adventure of Link

Another annual replay knocked out. I love this game.

I beat Link's Shadow without the bottom left corner trick this time. I had to rewind the whole fight a dozen times to do it, but I won fair and square. 😎

Today is the 25th anniversary of the release of Ogre Battle 64 in North America.

It's one of the greatest games of all time, and there's no way to purchase it right now.

Fix it!

I've been working on some website dev, but I got distracted and spent the evening writing a new guide instead. I wanted the starting inventory data and no one had it.

This seems to be the first time a guide for the starting inventory has been written.

Finally got my copy of Lock-On 6! I’ve been excited this one for ever since I pitched an article about Ocarina’s dev history to them in early 2023. It’s a stunning book.

Very proud to have my name in here, and honored to have @amilcarpinna.bsky.social’s incredible art with my words

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening

Knocking out another annual playthrough. I absolutely adore this remake. It's a comfort game for me nowadays. I've enjoyed playing it before bed for the last week.

That doesn't even mention how Wonder Pull is now flooded with high cost low reward options.

The new limited time #Pokemon TCG Pocket set sucks.

I was excited about it. I even got some of the elusive cards I was missing...only to discover that it doesn't count toward my past set completion. 😑

I'm not planning to open any more unless they change it.

I did not have "EA becomes a privately held company" on my 2025 bingo card.

I have a partial mirror hiding at Zelda Archive. I was able to download a lot of files from the Wayback Machine, but they require a lot of clean up effort to make it all work properly.

The home page of this mirror works and some of the links (mostly top left corner) work.

zhq.zeldaarchive.org

I sent an email to Niels several year ago to chat Zelda and ZHQ and he wasn't unhappy to hear from the community. 😆 I ought to reach out again sometime.

Now that Melora has given me a clean copy of the site, I'm hoping to have a proper mirror online...let's say by the end of 2026. Life is busy. 😵

Hi, I'm Melora, the main source of scanned #Zelda art & out-of-print publications since The Internet. I was also the lead campaigner for Zelda manga & art/info books to exist outside of Japan. Join me as I try to create a gallery of every piece of licensed Zelda art via collecting & with your help!

I'm back folks! 💜

Here it is, my first original video around a month. This is the story of The Unlikely Hero who essentially fell into the role, despite not being destined to 👀

Ogre Battle 64 Stickers & Magnets 🔥

From now on I'm making a point to use the correct language to describe technology that is currently described as "AI."

An LLM isn't AI
Image generators aren't AI
Machine learning isn't AI
Algorithms aren't AI

AI is a marketing term that obscures meaningful critique of real technologies.

It looks cute already. 😍

Nudging you towards this.. Relevant especially right now where Google is actively trying to destroy the internet as most people know it.

Thanks! I had no idea. I didn't get a PS4 until like 2019 or later. 😅

I absolutely loved these games as a kid. I've been hoping for rereleases.

I spent quite a bit of time streaming Alundra a few years ago. I had a friend in elementary school who absolutely loved it, and I was excited to finally give it a go.

Unfortunately, it just did not click with me. I got stuck and gave up.

Awesome sprite work though.
