Suffice to say, no, I didn’t know who all was being asked. This was arranged through a mutual friend somewhere between five and ten years ago. There aren’t enough palms in the world for my face.

Since this week's #RandomGameSaturday landed on Valentine's Day, my gut feeling told me to go with Pandora's Tower.
Overall, the game's idea of feeding the flesh of dead monsters to your cursed partner gave off a nice intense feeling, since the curse will win if you don't plan your runs well.

LRP There goes my interest in Mewgenics, since it features a rabid Zionist and his terrorist wife in the cast, along with some other horrendous people.
It's unfortunate that the decent people in the cast didn't know who else was in the game when they accepted the offer.

Having one of the most prominent very known Zionists online that has said so much anti-Palestinian rhetoric in the credits for your game is wild!
Am obviously referring to Ethan Klein!
He has used his gargantuan platform to harass huge pro-Palestinian folks, and Palestinians for so long, as well!

So I saw this pop up on my YouTube recommendations, and I found it neat that someone decided to add Kamen Rider W's op, "W-B-X~W-Boiled Extreme~," to Star Detective Precure's opening video.
The nice thing about it working is that both shows feature a detective duo.

LRP It's pieces like these that remind us about the importance of the human element and experience when creating things. Something that tends to be missing in stuff using GenAI "creative" tools like chatbots and image generators.

despite what this post may say: this is not a walkback. this is a reiteration. we already knew this information. do not fall for unwise propaganda. keep the pressure on, financially or verbally. barrage them.
Discord is already starting to walk things back a little, so people should keep doing what they're doing (cancel Nitro, leave feedback/criticism, direct contact through support tickets/phone/email/etc)

As February brings us a holiday themed around love in the U.S., I decided to go with Gal Gun Returns for this week's #RandomGameSaturday.
As someone who enjoyed some of Inti Creates' stuff, I found it interesting that they made a rail shooter dating sim game.
I can't wait to go through it one day.

After accessing my Xenoblade 1 save file 13 to 14 years later, I finally defeated the game's superbosses!
One silly moment during this ordeal was when I was fighting the strongest superboss, the weakest one respawned and decided to join in after I got the former to low health.
Luckily, I won.

I recently returned to it to do the post-game stuff, and the idea of the title taking place on the body of a large titan continues to be fascinating.
