So thanks to the Luminary's Holy Protection ability, going back to the final dungeon's 4th floor of Dragon Quest XI was less time consuming. Unlocked the shortcut this time. Still don't feel like facing the final boss yet tho. Maybe tomorrow... or next weekend lol

Mad rn. Unlocked the path to the final Dragon Quest XI bosses on the 4th floor of the final dungeon but forgot to unlock a shortcut that would've taken me from the entrance hall to the 4th floor. By the time I realized, I already evaced the dungeon to go save and restore HP/MP.

I went to play my Switch Lite just now and I turned it on to find the battery at 1%. I usually never let the battery get that low & thought I'd charged it overnight. Apparently, I took the charger out but then didn't plug it in b/c I went to do something else 😅

Also, I did not notice Elandra The Crimson Nail was in Trigun Stampede or Stargaze until I saw other folks mention how she was de-aged to a child. Didn't even recognize her but I'm disappointed by her too. She was a badass trans antagonist in the manga with a briefcase nailgun.

I have such mixed feelings about the recent Trigun Stargaze news. Happy to see Vash & Meryl's new looks, but I am disappointed with Meryl. She is *jacked* in the Trigun manga and 90's anime & Stargaze made her skinny & stacked

I don't think I want to continue reading Peach Girl. After reading the first three volumes, I get why some people would like it but the love triangle & fair weather friend drama just isn't holding my attention.

Since Link is banned, his mutual aid Fridays have gone with him. This was one of the most altruistic things I’ve seen anyone on this site do.

In light of this, I’m gonna try to fill the gap.

Drop your mutual aid requests under this thread and I will repost them for as long as I can.

When I heard about Ys Vs Trails in The Sky, I thought it was a crossover action RPG. Not a fighting game.

Was a little disappointed by the comic book store but at least I found and bought this classic collection of 90's (and maybe early 00's) Milestone/DC Comics Static

Image is the comic book collection DC Finest Milestone Static Playing With Fire. Static is a Black teen, wearing a black Malcolm X hat and a black suit with a giant X. His left hand is pointing at his right, which is glowing with static electricity.

Indie game coverage is tough because games media has been gutted so the major publishers can control the message via PR-friendly influencers. No freelancer can fix this, obviously, but I can assure I (and other freelancers like me) are excited to cover indie games and pitch like crazy.
