A sure sign I’m getting old and impatient is how much I appreciate the mini medal list in DQVII Reimagined

Even 5-6 years ago I’d just be meticulously checking every pixel of an area to find them myself

Now? I sure do appreciate the list letting me know if my normal exploration efforts missed one!

They cast a fetus as Atreus!

OK! I guess he’ll be YOUNG in the show.

Time to find an alternative!

…Though they’ll walk this back pretty soon if true.

I’m going to be 41 in a couple weeks.

One thing I’ve noticed is that it actually feels way lamer to be 41 than 40.

40 is at least arriving at your destination. It’s a celebration. A milestone. Over the hill and etc. so there is that.

41 is just like, well, I guess I’m staying here…? OK… coooooool

Capcom’s renaissance should be studied.

Hasn’t been perfect, but their recovery following the PS3/360 generation has been incredible.
Damn homie if this is true Capcom is unstoppable

My only wish for the hour long State of Play today is for no new live service games announced.

Sony has enough of those stinky irons in the fire. PS5 generation needs some big time life support for me.

It sucks SO MUCH that we won’t get this.

I love the Goemon games I’ve played, especially Mystical Ninja on the SNES and N64
Ganbare Goemon Daishuugo (Switch/PS5 - JPN import) up for preorder at VGP ($36.60 US Dollars) buff.ly/NwNxUtH #ad

Daughter and I played Stardew Valley for over 5 hours today. Oops

Oh, remember that $350 Switch Lite I mentioned?

They’ve come to their senses and dropped the price to… $300 🤣🤣🤣

This makes me want to watch Isle of Dogs again. Great little Wes Anderson flick
i don’t know if it’s the jaunty bow tie or what but i cannot stop laughing at this

WRONG! Wrooonnnggg!

Earthbound would benefit most from a handcrafted look as seen in the strategy guide. Think a wackier version of what they did with DQVII

Chrono Trigger should be left alone as much as possible. HD-2D BABY!

Parasite Eve is the only one that would work well if made like FFVIIR.

A Link to the Past. Chrono Trigger is a masterpiece and arguably aging better, but I wouldn’t love games as much as I did and do without ALTTP.

Fun!
Loot that drops after defeating me:

- An asthma puffer
- exactly 3 keys
- a confusing pile of cat and dog fur
- a small, upsettingly disorganized pile of Magi cards
- a pile of classic game cartridges with a good chance of rares and bangers (the chase loot!)
Loot that drops after defeating me:

💗 pink rose petals
💗 crippling anxiety
💗 sushi
💗 a clowder of cats
💗 back pain
💗 Level Up
Loot that drops after defeating me:

An unpainted mini
Some more unpainted minis
God damn, that's a lot of unpainted minis

Kiddo is watching the Nailed It baking challenge show.

She paused it to go get some water (so she can chew ice). Anyway, this dude absolutely looks like he’s just formed the first ‘F’ in the only word appropriate to use when dropping something in the kitchen.

My daughter is singing Christmas songs today for some reason?

Child, no.

For one thing, you’re months away from another giftsplosion. Another, more important thing… Nicksmas is the next holiday this house is recognizing! SING MY SONGS INSTEAD

He’s just practicing for his ring entrance as the first fighter in the next Punch-Out game
This lad is a master of the partial arts.

Gabby Jay!

…YAY!

It’s never been more fun to brutally bully an old man than this.
I know this probably doesn't paint me in a positive light but every time I see this guy at the beginning of Super Punch-Out!! i think "I'm going to make this old man shit blood with my punches".

Yes, since I first bought the game in 1994.

I want ice cream cake

Good thing it’s my birthday soon

Oh no!
The way up is blocked!

Oh man!
I loved this weird little movie!

The icky files are so exhausting. Not just because of the absolute horrors committed on that island by these freaks, but also because I’m so tired of trying to drum up the belief that any of these people will face real consequences.

I feel terrible for the victims who have to live this nightmare.

Honestly. The demo is way way better than I thought it would be, and it shot the game up to the top of my wanted list too.

Hacking fools while you’re fighting them really works for me.
I had only a mild interest in Pragmata, but I held on cause it’s Capcom. Just finished the demo, and now I’m super interested. Should have never doubted Peakcom

Oh hey.
They announced the live service Horizon game today. It looks like a hero shooter crossed with a monster hunter game?

…….hooray…….?
