I had a lot of fun playing this as a staunch Earthbound/Mother series enjoyer and highly recommend it to anyone who like turn-based RPGs. store.steampowered.com/app/1302530/...

So I decided to try my first ever prerecorded let's play style video covering the entire first chapter of Cairn: Mathair's Curse! I've never done a video like this so it would be cool to see some support and get some feedback for future videos like this one! www.youtube.com/watch?v=yv71...

House of Necrosis is so sick. It is very much what if Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, but Resident Evil. I'm obsessed. I never stream for 7 hours on a whim so that should be all the recommendation you need lol I will be playing more next week so I can keep gushing about it!

It's so close! I've only ever backed 3 games including this one. I really think it's going to special.

Kamigawa and Bloomburrow are definitely a sets I want to backtrack to at some point!

Lmao I'm sure once they start printing UB stuff that is not directly pandering to me I'll have some thoughts on it. I have really enjoyed some none UB sets at this point though. I thought EoE was very cool and Duskmourn is (unsurprisingly) my favorite overall set scratching my horror brain.

I'll have to give him more of a chance! I'm still hunting for people with vibes I generally like and will admit that if the first thing I see is negative, I'll dodge them completely. I have to be better at my judging years of content off of a few videos.

RJ @rjsmangit.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah absolutely! I appreciate your thoughts on the matter. Being so new I'm sure I probably just have a lot more tolerance to the situation as a whole but yeah some of this stuff is crazy expensive for no good reason. The corporation part bleeds more and more into the game itself, the worse it gets

RJ @rjsmangit.bsky.social · 1d

I haven't dove into arena yet, but when I do, I would absolutely enjoy playing some games with you!

RJ @rjsmangit.bsky.social · 1d

I just think the content creation world could benefit more from trying to get people to enjoy all aspects of the game outside of UB instead of dwelling on the corporation doing corporation things. That's all content stuff though. Negativity and drama gets more clicks.

RJ @rjsmangit.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah that all makes sense, I've had a lot of very thoughtful conversations with people who have either started with me or been in the game for decades absorbing as many opinions as I can. I can definitely understand the fatigue of it all.

RJ @rjsmangit.bsky.social · 1d

I'm very new to all of this. I only just started playing because of UB. I found the community very unapproachable prior to just biting the bullet on the FF set. I'm glad I have it chance because I think the game is very fun but I find the content creation behind the game is incredibly toxic.

RJ @rjsmangit.bsky.social · 1d

I'm glad I've made this conscious decision to live or die on Twitch streaming what I want to rather than what I think is best for metrics.

RJ @rjsmangit.bsky.social · 1d

There's always wacky rumors and things with Twitch viewership as the seasons change. I think it's always in your best interest to not jump to conclusions. Misinformation is easier than ever to push out for engagement.

I know people probably won't be thrilled for more UB stuff in magic but I'm a pretty big TMNT fan so I'm looking forward to this.

I'm going to save my overall thoughts for after I'm done getting the other endings but I think it's a great game. It passes the vibe check with flying colors. I'm not sure about the combat as a part of the whole picture but that's still tbd.

RJ @rjsmangit.bsky.social · 4d

Yay! I saw an ending! I definitely want to get other endings but I'm going to do that off stream. I want to really get into the documents and dialog which is hard to do while streaming. Next I'm going to switch gears to some cool indie games that have come out recently :)

It's so true, every commercial here was like "He doesn't even live here" and then a shot of John Fetterman walking around in the snow in shorts.
