That’s damn fun, NGL. Really does feel like a mix of TWEWY and RE. Dunno if I’m excited for anything story wise but gameplay has my interest.

I would like to say, whoever at Retro decided that Time Attacks in Tropical Freeze don’t need you to input reset after a death made them a million times better. It’s so frustrating to time attack Returns.

Also, Dixie makes Returns sooooooo much better it’s not even funny.

Fuck me - I skipped this and now they back ported Dixie - my all time favorite platformer character to it? Holy shit.

I need to play the Pragmata demo. I’ve never seen a game give off this heavy of TWEWY vibes with its combat. If it’s actually TWEWY X RE4 in gameplay… that’s a heck of a combo to pull off.

I genuinely do not understand how crypto rug pulls work. Or continue to work. Surely everyone that could consider them at this point knows what a rug pull is and backs away? Where does the money continue to come from on them to this degree?

Excited to hear your thoughts on it when you find the Elestrals account PW again. (Totally understandable to be busy right now)

Finished Prime 4. Honestly… I really liked it. It’s got a few issues for sure but it kept me hooked and playing from beginning to end which is a first for a Metroid game.

Man, I don’t even know what my stream anniversary is…

Hopefully they Square does it with some of their other abandoned mobile games in the future. They are not great stewards of them but I’ve heard nothing but praise for the stories in Mobius, Brave Exvius/War of the Lions, Dissidia Opera Omnia etc and their main issue was monetization.

It’s really weird - I’ve said for a long time that I think Metroid Prime is an absolute masterpiece that I have bounced off of 3 times and have no interest in playing… and somehow Metroid Prime 4 actually managed to hook me. It’s not perfect at all but it’s the first Metroid I’ve gotten this far on.

Im super curious about what the Gacha was. In a lot of ways, it really doesn’t look or feel like one.

And our entire economy is so dependent on this tech taking off that it’s perpetuatally forced down our throats in every facet because the moment the tech is truly forced to be recognized as fraudulent, everything collapses.

I hate gen AI so fucking much man… Legitimately, the tech at this point amounts to “a google search that could generously said to be slightly better at coding” and “the worst things happening at any given moment” and as a cost, computers are about to spike, environmental effects are crippling…

Let me know if you end up in Melbourne. Would love to say hi sometime.

The 4 cards that made my year:

So I had a pretty good weekend. :)

So me and @ghoul02.bsky.social are in Japan right now having a blast. Yesterday we went to Disney Sea Tokyo Theme Park, and today we got all these games and some stuff related to it

Prerelease no. 2 - actually really proud of this build. Had some nice pulls but I think the single summoner and Bard to enable Locke and WoL LB were standouts. Love when you can do some unique deck building in limited.

I also pulled a full art leviathan, which in hindsight, probably was good enough to make the deck thanks to Urianger.

Prerelease deck number 1 - ended 2-1. I think I generally have a very strong deck. I probably needed more backups, but I didn’t have them in Fire or Ice sadly. Still, I think I did decently. No Raijin - I think the defining card of the prerelease, especially paired with Fujins.

For the record, in FF, I buy 6 boxes of a set, which is half of a case. And I get to about 85% of a playset in singles. And even that is honestly what I’d call an expensive hobby.

It sucks being a fan of TCGs and wanting to consider branching out and then seeing stuff like this… sure, 18 boxes for a playset of every card is good and normal and healthy. It’s not even egregious compared to other games, it just sucks for everyone.

Retainer Storm best deck!!!!

Thanks for the invite.
