Ro Panuganti @ The Ocean Album 🌊 @ropanuganti.com · 11d

An incredibly jam packed evening of math rock, prog, video games, Pokémon art, and anime. I couldn't be more grateful for my band, @armature.band , the folks at Tabletop Village, and the actual Ninja pit during Haruka Kanata 🤘

Proud of everyone for making a show venue pop off tonight!

Unusual and noteworthy that this game review starts with an appraisal of the game’s soundtrack

Eurogamer @eurogamer.bsky.social · Sep 1
