for better or worse, millennials have secured a total cultural victory on a level unseen since the baby boom

chapter 3 is one of the easy highlights of the game, i think the tournament itself overstays its welcome a little bit but the overarching story is fun and macho grubba is one of my favourite chapter bosses

at least 50, probably north of 70, i haven't checked so i don't remember the actual number

2025 was definitely a year for comfort games lol. don't ask steam how many hours i spent playing kingdom hearts 2 this summer

also respect the attempt to throw the (conicidentally also female, natch) manager under the bus when allegedly the pushback to this thread has resulted in people calling his workplace. not saying both can't happen independently of each other, but c'mon man, glass houses

"if you only watched mediocre disney tentpoles like i did then this year was really bad for movies" type beat

like this isn't a "nintendo can never release a bad game" thing, it's a "statistically, nintendo releases so few games a year compared to the global average that they would have to release a TRULY irredemable bomb in every possible way for it to even enter discussion for worst of the year"

seeing a lot of little garden in the trailer makes me happy though :) my first one piece chapter in a magazine rack shonen jump was from the middle of little garden so i have a lot of affection for this stretch of the story

very funny that they lead with chopper as the teaser for a few months ago considering that from the look of it this season is going to do drum island last as the capstone of the "everything in between loguetown and alabasta" super-arc

"can we back to when-" no. this is a question with a straight answer and that answer is no. the old shit still exists and you can still engage with it whenever you want but you will never recapture whatever experience you want to. move forward and think about what new experiences you can have

i'd be less mad if this weren't simply The Ike Experience but i don't think i have ever had a playthrough of this game where this dumbass twink hasn't missed at least one of his stupid coinflip growths a statistically improbable number of times

3 strength in 11 levels. what the fuck are we doing here

for this crime, they will be killed by the only exectutioners of any merit whatsoever, a party consisting of exactly two ninjas and two sages

the backloggd community has elected to collectively disregard the existence of final fantasy 3

if your hero and/or partner is female but i don't know how much that counts

XIII. overall? bahamut, but i also want to specifically shout out syldra from 5, chaos from 12 and odin from 13
XIV. queen's blood from rebirth
XV. i haven't played it yet but i know in my heart it's stranger of paradise. i know it.
XVI. 5, with 10 and 13 close behind it

IX. i'll always have a soft spot for how breezy and unserious ff5 is. 10 is also really high up there
X. ul'dah
XI. the command synergy battle system from 13 and 13-2 is undefeated tbh
XII. i want to say machinist because of 14 but across the entire series it's definitely summoner
