Started playing Legends ZA and am doing important research. Here are character pairs that give off "Blowjob Brothers" vibes so far.

I may not be at MagFest this year, but if you are going, make sure to see Grint and any of my other friends who are doing their best.
You see that there? Three scheduled sessions of my game Tiny Mall Wizards at MAGfest! Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 2-4pm in the tabletop hall. Space limited but hassle me about it and maybe I can run more than one a day

If you liked Expedition 33, and haven't played a JRPG since the PS1 or SNES, play Tales of Arise.
While I'm known for being obscure JRPG sicko, Tales of Arise is approachable for a wider audience and is more action gamey. It may not be my favorite in the series, but talk to me about that after.

I wrote more words about how it feels to be a translator watching the games press report on AI and labor, coming from a field that's fought these battles for decades. It may look like I'm beating up on one outlet, but it's not about them; I've been trying to write this for me and my peers all year.

Here's the Retro Awardments for Blue Stinger I was working on.
I can't support them platforming hate and trying to non-committal "both sides" backstep.
My Retro Achievements claim was dropped despite being told it wouldn't do that in review so I'm done with 'em.
