I've been writing for Hardcore Gamer since its first issue in 2005, which may be a long time to do anything but it hasn't gotten boring yet. james (at) hardcoregamer (dot) com
"Never interrupt your enemy when he's making a mistake." seems like good advice here.

Point of order- there is no such thing as a fuck-proof bed. I prefer to think of them as fuck-deterrent.

Ok, now I can put it up for the morning!

Getting there.

Me neither! I'd take it on faith everything was fine, but I've been hearing for years that in the GBA/DS/3DS market the cartridges are really easy to bootleg, and Amazon sellers are roulette on getting a real copy or not. I figure a retail store will have better odds.

I checked a price guide and it’s not that bad, I probably just had bad timing. I’d order it online but I’m trying to avoid a bootleg copy.

Bah, no luck! Still Sprit Tracks-less.

I do not know you well enough to make the obvious “your mom” joke this post so desperately needs.

I liked it a lot, in a mid-tier 90s action-RPG way.

Really hoping Adventures of Eliot isn't a game key card, but not too optimistically.

Most of the game is poking at the map, exploring, upgrading, for hours on end, but when Arknights: Endfield starts to talk it doesn't want to stop. I get that this is maybe 5 minutes total (probably less) but I also know that my patience with it has cratered over the years.

Is it the 90s and everyone is an anti-hero again?

Be kind of awkward if it was footcrafted.
