REALLY special stream tonight!
Today’s the longest night of the year. For some, that’s just a date on the calendar. For others, it’s a feeling they’ve been carrying for a while.
So tonight, we’ll look for light together— using my favorite series of all time. Hope to see you!

Very impressed by how FF7 Remake looks and plays on the Switch 2 handheld. Quite possibly the best looking game on the system.

I can finally talk about how much I enjoyed Octopath Traveler 0! I was drawn to this series by the cool art style, got hooked by the banger soundtrack, and stayed for the literary parallels to one of my favorite works of all time: The Canterbury Tales. youtu.be/5RaD4i5A_hk?...

I like to imagine that out there, somewhere, a kid who in his short life had only been exposed to Fortnite / Roblox / Minecraft / COD (you know it happens) maybe saw the hype online and decided to try out E33.
I hope that kid got his mind blown, opening the doors for other gaming masterpieces.

I posed this question to my class today, but what do you think:
What responsibility does a “public intellectual” have?
(PI is defined as one who has degree of social capital that gives influence, and an economic capital/cultural contribution that indicates an area of expertise)

A student in my Final Fantasy XVI class left this note for me. 😊 I love teaching, but I really love helping non-gamers find value in this medium.
I have so many little notes just like this. Class by class, I’m creating a generation of FF fans lol.

This is SUCH a fun album. 119 tracks of incredibly creative Square Enix remixes, from the Final Fantasy series to Chrono Trigger and Xenogears.
Possibly my new favorite collection. Check it out (Apple Music and Spotify)
