I clearly remember having to grind levels inside one of the caves in earthbound. Felt impossible to make it through without doing that. Didn’t know they had rom hacks to make those games easier, that’s cool

that's so much better. I don't even know what the one on the left is trying to do lol. My copy is the first reissue cover I think (dude in armor with helmet off). the original print cover is rad tho

if you want more of the exoskeleton warrior/scifi stuff, you should check out John Steakley's "Armor"

Yayan Ruhian and Iko Uwais on set of Star Wars Force Awakens

Yayan Ruhian and Iko Uwais on set of Star Wars Force Awakens

sometimes I think about how the Force Awakens had Yayan Ruhian and Iko Uwais on set and then just absolutely squandered it
(I hope they got a good check at least)

This week I toyed with movement. Most people don't use the center position, so it's gone for now.

Now you can get in close when an opponent is in the back position. Doing so will lower their DEF, but raise their ATK like when both are at the front.

whoa yeah I think that's the case!
Our deer mostly only come at night to eat the birdseed we put out (they leave evidence) but I did snap a pic of one that came up to graze during lunch a couple weeks back

Great song. I love music from these lost media PS2 games. I wonder who wrote this one! I had better download Shazam.
