Happy Anniversary to Xenogears (PS1)! 🎂🎉

Released in North America on this day in 1998, this masterpiece from Square pushed storytelling, philosophy, and music to new heights. It's still one of the most unforgettable RPGs ever made!

Ten years ago, when The Witcher 3 launched, I grabbed my pencils and ink to draw Geralt — the White Wolf, caught between dusk and steel.

Still proud of this old sketch. 🐺

Traditional pencil and ink drawing of Geralt of Rivia from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. The Witcher stands in three-quarter view, holding his sword, with rugged features and sharp eyes. Hand-drawn lines and ink shading give it a classic fantasy sketch look.

I agree, and I hope they remake it. I just wish they do it the right way.

If the rumor is true that the upcoming HALO reveal will be a full remake of the original game...

Honestly? I'm 100% on board.

HALO is on life support. It could inject new interest into the franchise and if they keep the soul of it intact, it might save it.

I think it's the right call.

At Bar Ávila in Granada, I met this curious little angel 🐶✨

She sat in her bag, staring right at us with the funniest look. Stole the show instantly! 🥹💕
