Figured I should make one, now that pinned posts are a thing here:

Hey, I'm James! I cover games, mostly in the RPG sphere of influence. You've probably read some of my work at RPG Site, but I've also contributed to GamesRadar, UploadVR and more in the past. I've covered events like E3, TGS + more!

sitting upright, realizing that I am probably not the first person to play DQ3 HD-2D on this MSI Claw, since I bought it in Akihabara

did you know this scene originally wasn't in the game, and they added a month after JP launch

at the same time they uncapped the framerate, let you skip craft animations, and updated several cutscenes

My most crackhead opinion on games is that I think a gacha system in a retail game with no premium currency can actually be really fun if done right

...46 games finished this year.
theswweet.myatproto.social James GHOULizio @theswweet.myatproto.social · 12h
For the record, I'm at 45 finished so far this year (46, if you count Hundred Line having seen credits a few times but not the most clear "endpoint"), and I'd say this is a slower year for me.
theswweet.myatproto.social James GHOULizio @theswweet.myatproto.social · 12h
Just curious, for non-reviewer friends, how many games would you say you finish on average each year?

obviously I think people should get off Twitter, but folks saying it's the liberals that made this site bad are wrong - the site had been heading down that path well before MSNBC gave it a shout-out

it sucks but it 100% makes sense, the #1 reason people social media is to talk with their friends

Yeah. I think for better or worse they bloated it - which I guess isn't too surprising. I think the Freebies were a mistake with the impact they clearly had on both level design and the controls.

Not a bad game, but definitely a middle-tier Katamari.

Yeah for every RPG I play I probably play 1 or 2 games you can finish in a single sitting.

Finding out I've probably finished more games in the last 2~3 years than most of my friends have finished in their lives is fucked up
