General enthusiast of mystery stories, first-person dungeon-crawlers, and hot drinks. I like videogame music too much.
I got really into Puyo Puyo Tetris but I don't think I ever finished the story of the second one. It did massively improve my puyo puyo skills though, after years of not understanding chains at all in Mean Bean Machine.

I was gonna say "somebody's gonna make a game where you're livestreaming your dungeon crawler" but remembered Live in Dungeon exists already.

I need to get around to Snatcher one of these days...I've thought about playing Famicom Detective Club but I can't quite decide if I want to play the remake or the originals.

Figuring out the insane usefulness of Immunize is what finally got me un-hardstuck at Royalant when I was throwing myself against that boss for weeks.

Very susceptible to this. Reaches true crisis levels with some of the Fields of Mistria characters. Which of course some people got right on top of almost instantly.

It felt like there was kind of a major drought in the 2010s when institutional devs slowed down and indie devs were just starting to expand to bigger audiences, but the modern classics have been nonstop since 2017. Snipperclips, TT, and CC are of course included in that. 😁

This was an arrangement, I believe by Yasushi Asada, of a song originally written by Chiho Kobayashi for Touch & Roll, although the original has a much different feel from the Wii game's. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTDU...

I think a lot of people use social media in a fundamentally different way than I do, because I can't imagine wanting to "discover" or see things an algorithm thinks are "for me". Like for some reason execs decided we need "Pandora but for everything" when Pandora already sucked?

The TWEWY cast showing up in Dream Drop Distance (with the original voice cast!) was everything for me 😭

I'm a giant TWEWY fan but I never touched the anime...I think I felt burned after I tried the very bad Devil Survivor 2 anime (although Devil Survivor 2 itself is already so bad compared to Devil Survivor 1)

Which version did you play? I've played almost all MegaTen games except for P1-P3 and a few that didn't have translations until recently. I've almost thought about playing original for SEBEC and remake for SQQ, I just like the original's soundtrack so much

TGAA2 is still on my backlog but yeah, it did seem like a "more to be revealed later" sort of situation.
