Sometime between the releases of Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, a company called Songbird Ocarinas began advertising in every single issue of Nintendo Power up until the magazine ended in 2012.

Evolution is such a great little dungeon crawler series and I really hope Sting eventually rereleases them in some sort of definitive collection.
They feel underrated even for Sting RPGs, though I can't say I blame people for disliking how much of a tedious grind they can be. I love 'em though.

Why didn't anyone tell me GunBuster was so much fun? Watched it over the weekend and it felt like I was twelve years old again watching Evangelion what with all the over-the-top melodrama, screaming, and funky space monsters (yes I know it's the same director).

My one Silksong hot take is that I genuinely don't think it's all that difficult or challenging when compared to the first game. It's challenging for sure, but it's not *that* bad.

I'll keep them anonymous unless they comment, but one client gave me the OK to share a few crops here as well!
