I made this last June, when people were popping off about getting Harada to remark on a Waffle House stage in Tekken, and I couldn't let it go~ The question still comes up now and then, and Cohost is dead, so I'm posting it here as a public service. ❤

Even one with no interest in the subject matter should check out Marukatsu PC Engine—as well as Dengeki PC Engine/G's Engine, also scanned by Gaming Alexandria—just for the excellent covers by 佐々木 晃 Akira Sasaki. ❤

Now that I've been awakened to the possibility, I feel all retirement announcements should be accompanied by dropping an hour-long DJ mix.

Bramble is the Sadistic character-find of 2025. Nobody does evil women like Colorgrave. 😊

Morrigan fan art from the first month she existed. ❤ Given the timing, it seems all the artist had for a reference was this one illustration (shown as it was printed in Gamest magazine), where one could be forgiven for thinking the straps from her leotard go over the shoulder.

I distinctly remembered this happening, but not when or where, so I ended up digging up the source. The nuance might be a bit different from how it's remembered, so judge Katano's words for yourself. ❤

LRT: This collection is a storehouse bursting with untold treasures. It's uncanny to look upon art from the likes of Xenogears and Metal Gear Solid, as lossless as the day the publisher saved it. But so far, the find that's felt most like a holy grail has been high-res art of Fox from Bloody Roar. 🥰

In Resident Evil 4, you wouldn't ordinarily encounter enemies anywhere near this well. But leading one over reveals that the Ganado's path-finding struggles with the many sides of the boundary. This is the longest duration of befuddlement I observed. ❤

I don't think I've ever got a full combo before. Not only in RE4, but across all games to feature The Mercenaries, this is my best performance to date. Sustaining your combo when you're just frames away from losing it is really the greatest tension. ❤

In Metal Gear Solid (1998), when fighting the Hind D helicopter, you're advised to keep track of its location by listening to the stereo panning. But if you've set "Sound" to "Monaural" in the Options menu, you get this exclusive addition. . .

been doing a blind playthrough of ff3. i find the game's 'forced' class change mechanics annoying, so i decided to outplay them, sticking with classes that suit my characters instead

here we see geomancer's earthen bell para'ing targets preventing the use of "divide"~ also a knight's protect set up

(Photosensitivity warning)

In FFII, if a spell fails, the game just says "Ineffective" and moves on. But if it's blocked by Wall, the spell's entire animation plays, followed by "Magic blocked." For Toad, this means showing the enemy turning into a little toad, and removing it from the battle. . .

I learned alt text works differently for videos, so I'll explain in the next post. Final Fantasy II is a funny game sometimes. ❤

Now that I've played Prodigal, my new favourite character is Revulan, the feared leader of an anti-royalist shadow government who lounges on a throne and kills you with lightning if you talk to her three times whilst infiltrating her evil lair.

She's just like me, for real, I feel. ❤

Did the hardest thing the game will specifically acknowledge in a really fun game: Prodigal by @colorgrave.bsky.social

All the details you could want in the video description. ❤

Very excited for this one. ❤ Colorgrave games are rock-solid, with the free-wheeling creative spirit of Treasure-esque "situation rush" games, lovingly written characters and world-building, exquisite music and pixel art... You name it. Probably my fave indie developer making things these days.
