With Trails in the Sky 1st Remake out today, I thought I'd repost my article series on my journey with the Trails series.

Playing through Sky 1st and Daybreak 2 right after will likely be the motivation I need to finally write Part 3 of this blog series.

I’ve been playing video games for close to 40 years, first discovering them at the tender age of 5. While my early gaming years were spent…

BREAKING NEWS!!! My REAL soulstone has been located by the daring @bottenbig.bsky.social!

They even decided graciously not to keep it, figuring its great power was too dangerous for anyone to wield, EXACTLY like Harrison Ford at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark!

I remember for my final year of my BA, I had to turn in two 15 pagers and a 20 pager, and I had to do an all-nighter to finish them off, and I still drove to pick up my dad from the airport the next day. Those who use AI for their papers simply do not possess our power.

I just assume they're so out of touch that they didn't think it would turn off anyone.

I do feel conflicted for precisely the same reasons, but I also decided in the end not to pick it up.

I doubt they ever will. We're not white.

Yeah, about a decade ago, I got really into the King's Bounty series, because I really missed HOMM. Also picked up Songs of Conquest. I have high hopes for Olden Era, and I really hope it recaptures that very unique feeling of playing a HOMM game.

Nayan Ramachandran @thetrin.blacksky.app · 18h

I am so excited to dip into the Olden Era demo tonight. I miss HOMM so much. I played so much of it as a kid.

Indian hate seems to be ramping up quite a bit online.

The boss fight in the 2nd day of the Final Chapter in Trails in the Sky 1st was really annoying. I was shouting expletives the entire time. The fight definitely punishes you for careless AOEs, and letting too many enemies enrage at the same time. You have to pick your targets carefully.
