Who's idea was "Purple Coins on the Rainbow Road?" I just want to talk.

Still thinking about how, if Xenogears were to get remade *not* in the full AAA Monolith style, I'd want it to be in the style of Star Ocean 2R given how much of it is just a modernization of the original Xenogears' style

A screenshot from Star Ocean: The Second Story R, showing the party (comprised of 2D PS1-style sprites) running through a fully 3D-rendered town in daytime, its residents also PS1-style sprites

A screenshot of Xenogears, showing Fei (a PS1 sprite, much like the residents) standing at the center of his (3D-rendered) hometown of Lahan in daytime

All I'll say is that it was definitely designed for the people who already liked Emboar, and I'm people who already liked Emboar.

Never get into a sport. I just watched my favorite hockey team get negative momentum from a Power Play.

Shoutout to the friend I had in middle school who told me to look up Emboar when Pokemon Black and White came out in Japan because "you won't want to pick Tepig anymore after seeing it." He was wrong on levels that didn't even exist yet.

I am not going to make it to Legends Z-A's release without seeing all the new Megas. I keep looking up the leak I saw earlier to see if it's been shown in better quality yet but just keep seeing Megas I didn't want to see because yeah, duh, of course. I am a lost cause. 😭

Sloshin' Squid @pinkinkling23.bsky.social · 19h

At last. I have seen Mega Houndoom in Legends Z-A. I am at peace.

Turns out I was one star away from unlocking the last chapter of Mario Galaxy 2's new storybook, and now I'm feeling emotions I can't describe.

Sloshin' Squid @pinkinkling23.bsky.social · 23h

I'm also a big fan of Yoshi. Love the Yoshi-based mechanics in this game.

Rolled credits on Super Mario Galaxy 2! It's just as fun as I remember. While the Comet Observatory was missed, I still prefer this game to the first Galaxy game. I like the level designs in this one so much more. The new storybook is also a great addition, although idk if I have all of it unlocked.

I'm such a big sucker for Super Mario 64. Throwback Galaxy my beloved. <3

Sloshin' Squid @pinkinkling23.bsky.social · 1d

I've been collecting every star that pops up as I go in Mario Galaxy 2, but I'm in the last world of the main story, and I just want to blast through this one. Hopefully, I have the stars for it. I would certainly think I do. I'm having fun; I just want to beat the game before Pokemon comes out.

Sloshin' Squid @pinkinkling23.bsky.social · 1d

I think I'm doomed by some narrative to be subjected to Pokemon leaks.

Sloshin' Squid @pinkinkling23.bsky.social · 1d

I will not be elaborating, but a Legends Z-A leak I struggled not to go looking for last night just decided to look for me instead, and now I'm dead set on picking Tepig.

We need to talk about NHL scheduling because what do you mean there are no games tonight, but the Lightning and the Bruins play at 1pm on Monday?

Sloshin' Squid @pinkinkling23.bsky.social · 2d

Wait. The last two times I got sick were 1) the release day of Future Redeemed and 2) the day of a Nintendo Direct. Pokemon comes out next week. My immune system is onto something.

Sloshin' Squid @pinkinkling23.bsky.social · 2d

My body's felt kind of off for about a week. Like it wants to be sick but it hasn't gotten there. I thought maybe I've just been psyching myself out, but one of my coworkers just told me she can tell something's off with me today, and another just went home sick. I may be cooked.

Why can't we ever have a Pokemon game that doesn't leak at least a week early? I'm drawn to Pokemon leaks like a moth to a flame. Saw a blurred leak and just barely had the willpower to leave it alone. 😔

Sloshin' Squid @pinkinkling23.bsky.social · 2d

Back to Xenosaga posting. I can't believe there are three versions of "Fatal Fight" (if you include "Image Theme of Xenosaga II") and they all go insane. They did not miss with it a single time.

Sloshin' Squid @pinkinkling23.bsky.social · 2d

Getting scored on immediately after going Empty Net. That's the Lightning I know and love.

Sloshin' Squid @pinkinkling23.bsky.social · 2d

Jon Cooper going Empty Net. We've never been more back.

May have to consider the FFVII and FFVIII dual pack. I had actually been considering acquiring a physical copy of VII, I've never played VIII, and I have money, so like why not?

Sloshin' Squid @pinkinkling23.bsky.social · 2d

Lightning hockey is back, and I'm still the only Emil Lilleberg enjoyer.
