Listening to the Sonic Frontiers OST be like:
It makes me happy seeing how many more commissions you're getting here compared to the other place. Keep it up!
I'm so sad. Was getting the play some PS2 stuff tonight and I found out that the first controller port on the console doesn't work nor does it read memory cards. I wasted $120 on a PS2 I can't even play.

With Microsoft announcing their AI plans for future Windows versions, this /v/ comic from 15 years ago got a whole lot more relevant.
Sorry for not being active here in the last couple of weeks. I haven't been on a break, but taking some time to play stuff.

The 12 hour shifts at work finally stopped last month and I'm back down to 8, which freed up so much time. It's been nice to chill and game for a while when I get off.

Why do I feel like Wildrose would be a dom?

But I really enjoyed my time with the Sky 1 remake! The debate is over. If you want to start with Trails, you start here.
So now sidequests don't take 2000 years to finish (I'm looking at you Zeiss).
But I think by, the best change is the pacing of the game. That was the worst aspect of Sky FC. The original release didn't have any sort of fast travel, but game's pace was pretty exhausting. But that's a non-issue now with the game having fast travel now and it's truly a blessing.
The biggest change for the remake is the complete overhaul of the battle system. It's combat is now a mix of Cold Steel's command battle and Daybreak's Quick Battles. And it works really well! Attacks are flashy while remaining quick and sweet. So battles don't really drag on.
And then comes the pronunciation of certain words. Like Liberl (Lib-ur-l) being said as Lib-er-al. Why is there suddenly an "A" added to it? But those are small potatoes or more of nitpicks.
But for some reason their names were changed to the Jade, Amber, Azure and Crimson Towers. I think the original names are much better and hold that air of mystery to them since they are ancient towers.
That being said, I'm not a fan of how some things around pronounced and the name changes of some location. Like in the game, there are four towers you can visit as optional dungeons for chests. In the original, they're called the Esmelas, Amberl, Sapphril and Carnelia Towers.
For the most part, the remake is very faithful to the original 2004 release, but does include some additional content to better connect to future games somewhat. And while the game does use the XSeed translation as a base, the localization for this game is changed slightly.

Was going to post this after I got the Platinum, but I can feel burnout starting to set in, so I'll post this now. But a few days ago, I finally finished the Sky 1 remake and it was a great time for start to finish!
Is this Muff a summoner or dancer? I get both vibes.
Missed one chest. Of course, I did. Why wouldn't I miss one chest? 🙃

'It Doesn't Matter' from Sonic Adventure might be my favorite vocal track in the entire Sonic franchise and I'm dead serious. Now that I'm listening to it as an adult, it captures Sonic's character perfectly.

Sonic isn't a hero, he doesn't consider himself one.And I think it captures that well.
So I still can't download any of the DLC for 1st Chapter. What do I do?
So I might be dead serious when I say that the addition of having a map in dungeons and fast travel in the Sky 1 remake makes it the definitive version by default. Dude, they help *SO MUCH* with pacing and navigation it's not even funny.

So I got a case of Dragon Fruit flavor Mountain Dew the other while I was shopping since I was curious.

It's good, but this would taste much better as a flavor of Gatorade instead of soda.
You should have seen my face when that happened to me the first time. I was against the UFO like enemies in the Bose area, I forget their names. It only seems to be the larger enemies when they use the hard hitting attacks that knock the characters down.
