This was a dream project in so many ways. I’ll miss working on these scripts every Saturday morning! Big shout-outs to everyone on the team, especially @moriyoshijon.bsky.social and @brilingual.bsky.social who were in the trenches with us for all 260 episodes. Thanks and ❤️ to all who watched!

For those of you digging FFT, today is 30 years since the game that paved the way for it to exist was released: HBD, Tactics Ogre!

いやぁ仕事でやってるから言うんじゃあないんだけどさあ。
『ANIMAL WELL』これ最高だからぜひやってほしい。
『メトロイド』『ファザナドゥ』『スペランカー』『レリクス暗黒要塞』『キャッスルエクセレント』『ドラスレファミリー』『聖飢魔II 悪魔の逆襲』……ここらへんのゲーム名を見てピンと来る人は、まじで騙されたと思ってプレイしてほしい。そしてあわよくばSUPERDELUXE GAMESの物理版を予約してください。やばいですこれ。〝あの雰囲気の続き〟がここには確実にあるんだ…🐰
