I am still listening back through this. I don't remember where we came down but I remember it required some negotiation on the final ranking to avoid ending friendships. (I'm not sure how much I'm kidding about that.)
We teamed up with our other half @carbunclechronicle.com to rank all the mainline Final Fantasy games (plus two bonus games)! Come for the friendship, stay for the bloodshed!

Episode 200! It only look us *checks notes*... 17+ years? That doesn't seem right. But what's always good, correct, and never wrong? Re: Cutie Honey! It was our 5th episode, our 1st anime episode, and now our 200th episode. Now that's just quality anime right there.

Tonight in D&D, the party split up:
1. Enlist our artificer allies to build a magic circle so big and well-engineered that it channels enough aether to reinvigorate the blighted land.
2. Enlist our new townsfolk allies to take us out on a fishing boat and look for a sea monster to fight.

So, I made a thing. It was an idea I had been working off and on for the past 8-9 year, since Legion. With Legion Remix out, I finally got the gumption to finish it.
Anyway, I hope ya'll like it as much as I had fun putting this together.

Wanted to make Nintendo games when I was a kid. Learned BASIC in middle school from a magazine so I could make games. Realized more general dev was a more likely career path; couldn't imagine doing anything else because it just clicked for me.

I feel like there's some potential for shenanigans here in every direction.

Tonight in D&D: Finally revealed a hook that's been in planning for a while.
After absorbing an ancient dark fey in the last arc with Dark One's Blessing, the warlock is compelled to activate planar portals to an unknown location, and his fiendish patron is *very* interested in examining this soul.
