Hey if you all in Bsky land are craving some chiptunes today, consider listening to my original Mega Man concept album!

It'd be the coolest if you did 🙂

I played a lot of the PS2 original but I heard that the remaster was a huge improvement

Agreed, "reactions as a service" is one of the weirdest genres of video content. I mean y'all know they are faking the hell out of those reactions, right? Like this is their whole schtick. It's called acting folks.

Okay cool this looks pretty fun and like the action is quick paced!

Hmm that is tricky isn't it? I know about Alundra 1's gameplay but I'm not that familiar with Alundra 2

There are not many games that make you feel as cool as Otogi does

Hell yeah Racing Lagoon and its S tier soundtrack

That color match to your outfit is sick

I was totally surprised by a few NPC kids that were running around the city with their Pokemon following them. They were moving in a way that made me think they were player controlled somehow, and I was like "Uhhh this game doesn't have that though, right?"

Played this for the first time a few years ago and thought it was a lot of fun. Never did no 2/3 loops though!

Strider 2 was a shotgun blast of intense action gameplay so fun and stylish I beat the whole game before my brother even got home to try it! XD

Ironically it was his game, and he actually never played it afterwards because I stole his thunder 😅

Side note: Our copy had the disc art swapped
