It's important to admit when you're wrong.
I don't have that kind of time. I think I'll pass and just watch One Piece. At least it's a One and Done.
Do I need to play the first 32 expeditions to get the story?

The retro low-poly fighter that doubles as a roguelike (and it shouldn’t work, but it does)

I had a wonderful chat with Montreal-based HeartLoop's @osamadorias.bsky.social and @muselle.bsky.social about their promising debut game, Poly Fighter. 🇨🇦 🎮
A single-player roguelike fighting game is such a fascinating concept, and I really enjoyed getting their insight into making it!
