Happy one year to Dragon Age: The Veilguard. I still have a lot I want to say about this game, and I’ll be combing through it on Normandy FM next year. But despite everything that’s happened in the past year, this game will always be exactly what I needed it to be. I’m eager to revisit it.

Jen has been in the hospital most of October. These hospital stays and the recovery are the most challenging her Myasthenia Gravis has ever been.

If you’re able to share this post / donate we would be forever grateful.

Thank you again for all of your help ❤️

We finally finished Nier. Kinda wild how much happened between when we started this season and it ended. But we did it in 26 episodes, and will be starting Dragon Age: The Veilguard in the new year.
In our Nier finale, Eric gives Ken a crash course in the series' extended universe and we try to come to some kind of conclusion at the end. Thanks for going on this journey with us, and sorry it took as long as it did. soundcloud.com/normandyfm/n...

in which i try to condense hours upon hours of lore and speculation into something cohesive. ultimately, these games ask what you care about, what you would fight for, and where your priorities lie when the sky is falling down.

NieR's incredible, an all time fav series. enjoy!

that's a wrap on Replicant, a cast of characters i truly love, a group of people who do bad things but still care for and cling to each other as the world falls apart
Now that we’ve finished Automata, we’re heading back to Replicant for one more ending. @brazyazn.bsky.social returns in the penultimate Nier episode streaming now. on.soundcloud.com/rWIYpHqKjxiI...

Reiterating that Veilguard's hope for the world was a radical thing. I don't know what happens next, but given today's news, the things that game had to say feel even more important as a "final word" from BioWare when all the odds were stacked against them.

BioWare was asked to do the impossible, and in doing so, made a game that feels like the team's final word
