I've been collecting them but haven't had time to read them yet 😅

Maybe I'll binge them and review the series 🤔

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

I checked several shows and it definitely seems like Crunchyroll went back to their old subtitles overnight. Digimon Beatbreak is also back to Toei’s usual in-house subtitle font.

Check out my review of Dragon Quest: The Mark of Erdrick volume 1! 😊

A common concern with a series like this is whether you need to be knowledgeable of the franchise before playing.

Luckily, that's not the case and you can enjoy the story to its fullest!

So apparently BitMap Books backtracked and states that the author will receive royalties for their book.

This was 100% due to community feedback.

WinterVenom @wintervenom91.bsky.social · 2d

So I just caught up on the BitMap Books situation and that is wild! 😬😬

From what I've gathered, if the author said something that bad, why didn't BitMap Books pull the book?

Apparently the person who brought this up to the pub's attention just didn't like the author?

I'm 3 episodes on and I'm sorry but I'm just not into Mayfair Witches. 😢

I like Alexandra Daddario and the premise sounded interesting, but it's just dull in execution.

I know fans seem to dislike S1 and think S2 is better, so we'll see 🤷‍♂️

I played the port on the PSP many years ago.

I really enjoyed the game (2nd disk and all) and understood the aspects MonolithSoft brought over to Xenosaga.

I wished a remaster would happen but from what I've read online, no one knows who owns the rights (not sure on the accuracy of this)

I forgot the max level for each class is 8 😅

So I've already maxed out the Monk class for Ramza 🤣

I also unlocked Ninja and Dragoon classes but none of the shops have their weapons 😭

Ok, so the enemies are level 9 and my party is at level 16 😂

I decided to keep Ramza as a monk with his secondary ability being Time Magic

I think I may try to have my mage-focused characters be decently leveled monks for more effective chakra
