I Love This [Blank]

Did you know the PlayStation 1 boot-up logo has a missing pixel on it?

Not sure who needed to know this, but I can't unsee it... and now NEITHER CAN YOU. 😎👍

Drop an album that was important to you when you were 19.

Here are some very brief thoughts on Breath of Fire III. For the full review, watch the video on YouTube! #videogame #breathoffire #breathoffire3 #gamereview #videogamereview

This is on my list to get to eventually, too - but my fiancé wants to play this one with me, so it’s gotta be a time when they’re around. But I’m looking forward to it (and to your video on it!)

I feel like my answers make sense if you know that 1) I don’t like playing handheld, and 2) when Square left Nintendo, I lost my interest in Nintendo. The Switch was the first new console I bought for myself in like 15 years.

And no, AI does not count. I hope using AI makes you feel bad, actually.

It’s amazing how much creating art can lighten my mood. Doesn’t even have to be good, but creating is amazing

The full review is on our channel: youtu.be/SKQSEkqCebk?...

One of my favorite albums from 1993: Sarah McLachlan’s Fumbling Towards Ecstasy. This is how Rameen and I ranked the songs.

He is bi and nobody can convince me otherwise

I spent 90 minutes today posting the job listing for the person who will replace me and make 1.5x what I make to various job posting sites

So incredibly sad. She was maybe the funniest person alive.

“I appreciate this use of dissonance.” Ok, but what does that mean? Let’s untangle.

Wow! I guess now I don't need to buy the game from @nintendousa.bsky.social! I'm glad @nintendousa.bsky.social obviously approved this and don't mind the loss of revenue!

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum.

Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum.

Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum.

ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

A warning: it gets pretty dark. Maybe steer clear if you can’t handle stories that include violence to children. It’s not shown, and it’s typically just loosely spoken about, but it’s a big part of the story.

Graphic art from Emio: The Smiling Man. Three frightened-looking characters in the foreground, and a character with their back turned to us, looking over their shoulder. They wear a paper bag over their head. A spooky smiling face is drawn on the bag.

I don’t often talk about non-“retro” games that I play, but my fiancé and I just finished Emio: The Smiling Man tonight. I probably won’t review this game on the channel, so consider this a mini-review. Its mechanics are occasionally a little frustrating, but the story is compelling.

Grandia Stream! YouTube video by I Love This [Blank]

Going live soon, playing Grandia for the first time! Come hang out - or at least wish me luck that my new streaming setup works: www.youtube.com/live/DFrJ6uF...

The soundtrack for FFVI helps tell the story better than any other game I know. Its themes work like traditional leitmotifs in an opera.

My favorite 20 albums of 2025! What were yours?

This is why Shiva is the best summon

These are all good answers, but I’d ad FFX. A good middle point: if you’re drawn toward the story, go earlier. If you’re drawn toward the graphics and mechanics, go later.
