Got plenty of Japanese games already! But I am intended to get the translated ones at some point, they’re on my todo list!

Yeah 1 is always fantastic. 3 is really good as it ties the trilogy nicely together, so agreed there as well. I really enjoyed 5 on the 3DS as well, enough new gimmicks without being too much, and the overarching story was fun! So... I like the odd numbered games the most :D But they're all good

Feel like I said this at the time, but I love that you did the pit of doom in mystic cave! Presumably with a hint to the updated ports?

I'm just waiting rather than singing up for hundreds of places... as far as the crap Discord are doing, it's been going for a year already in the UK and it's been ... fine, I guess. Don't get me wrong, I still don't like Discord and would love a proper alternative!

I know we're all sick to death of AI, but let me do one more complaint (just one, I promise... for today)
This is really scummy of Adobe. "Use AI to generate Alt text!" Ok, that's kind of useful. "But it'll cost you". Right. Of course.
(I know my Adobe tax covers it, but that ain't the point)

My Intel Mac is on it's last legs and I've kept my Windows partition just so I can ceremoniously wipe it when it comes to buying a new Mac!

Does it still exist anywhere though?? I sense a four part documentary about finding it!

Either it was a tease of something to come… or they wanted that authentic feel of having a shelf that’s never quite full! I NEED MORE!

Agreed, some things weren't meant to be seen in detail and instead let your brain fill in the gaps. Absolutely true for all 32-bit era 3D!

Oh nice, there's a cartridge deck as well? That's cute. Where do Mr X and Dark Guild (or whatever colour-swapped Death Adder is called) belong?

Nice! I think I ditched the Snes controller one many moons ago... worth a bit on eBay now!

I'd take a few steps back, just in case ;)

I just came across these MegaDrive cartridge dioramas (neat!) and saw this Street Fighter one... which made me remember this awful Snes controller one I had as a kid. Quality control didn't exist back then, ya see (I still liked it)

Interesting… it feels like there have been a lot of British voices in RPGs recently. I just assumed it was a trend or a stereotype for medieval themed games to use Brits now?

It's an LG Ultrafine. One of those 5k screens designed for Macs specifically, but it was always slightly damaged as it was apparently knocked (Some dead pixels at the edge of the screen)... Worth it for the price, but after a few years it seems to be getting worse. But it always fades!

Well the screen burn is definitely getting worse… always temporary… but serves me right for buying second hand and trying to save money I guess?? I don’t want to spend hundreds more…
