TIL you know about Macross.

All right this is very important: Which series? :P

Original? DYRL? Seven? Frontier? Delta?

My personal favorite is the Argent Skull. It fires cranial "shells" that need retrieving either manually or via a magnetizing rush where Melino® surges forward and spurts wide projectiles either side of her. It's unconventional and tricky, but it's become my go-to run winner. The final Arm, the Black Coat, is a fucking jetpack Power Loader with macross missiles. It's amazing.

19. Gridman Universe.

Well, that was basically as perfect a capstone to this series as they could make.

I loved every moment of this.

Other games getting in the way certainly is the overall mood of October this year.

Pokemon is next week and I haven’t even started FFT while I’m all in on Digimon Story: Time Stranger.

Glad to hear that things are going well.

I know I’m super interested in that upcoming Silent Hill f review. :P

Out of curiosity, how many endings have you gotten in it?

Please don’t say that. :(

Ninty @nintyman58.bsky.social · 3d

Did you unlock the daggers or skull weapons?

Those I feel are the best of the bunch due to them offering that faster experience (as well as just being very easy to use and useful overall.)

Just looked this up and wow this looks cool!

It would be awesome if people jumped on this and there was an easy way for people to communicate with each other on those sites.

Like say, some sort of discussion hub where people could post about topics they were interested in.

I dunno, just an idea!

How’d you finish this already? The game’s only been out for three days!

I only just unlocked the ability to get Digi-Eggs for the Armour digivolutions!

To come back to this for a moment: Genuine questions -

What does “no worse than any of the others” mean in this context?

Was there any Sonic game where you enjoyed the story and characters? Or do you see the existence of a narrative in Sonic as something inherently detrimental to the character?

18. Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter.

I'd call it peak, but it was always just the beginning.

A phenomenal re-creation of the first chapter of the series that altered my perception of not just RPGs, but video games as a whole.

It still brings me to the verge of tears.

Estelle and the main party members of the game are all walking along the path to Rolent.

17. Perfect Grade 1/60 Gundam Exia.

Might as well add this to the thread since this took a week to build. As my first perfect grade, it was really fun! Frustrating at many times, but never to the point where anything super crucial was broken (aside from the movable fingers on the left hand).
