It's almost time for my hot takes about new games I played this year. Just waiting for Metroid Prime 4, then I can explain my unhinged rankings that will anger some fanbases

Genuinely one of the funniest hot takes I've ever read. Lists some of the best JRPGs on the PS2 and says "They are bad, actually" -- maybe you just don't like RPGs or something?
Hot Take: The PS2 Was Not Great For JRPGs

Finished Quartet from @somethingclassic.bsky.social -- very glad I got this one! It's a simple RPG, mostly linear, but with a combat system that allows from some nice combinations. It is fairly easy to create overpowered combos this way, but the core gameplay is fun, music is good, story satisfies!

Another four job fiesta done!
Mastering red mage gives dual cast (2 spells in a turn). Time mage has quick, which gives two turns after casting. 2x quick and meteor (4 non-elem, random damage hits), then 2 of 2x meteor destroys all bosses in the final dungeon.
Blue magic is top tier, as always.

Me a few days ago: 10:xx will probably be hard for me to get with current strats
Me today: just kill the last boss quickly, sub-11 achieved!
I still really dislike SMB2 as a game, but the run is fun, at least when it goes right 😅

First round of random capsule games are in! A few casual games came out first:
Superbrothers: Sword and Sworcery EP (replay after ~13 years lol)
FF7 (the OG).
Then, of course, my nemesis run appeared, courtesy of @gamertank.bsky.social -- SMB2! After some practice, I got a PB, will keep going!

My summer work schedule has finally settled down, so I can get back to streaming more often. And I have a new exciting thing - a capsule machine I won during Speedromizer!
Tomorrow ~ 11am ET, I'm going to draw a random game and speedrun it or casually play it! I have an even mix of options.

Short version of my thoughts on the Tales of Elliot demo:
* Game feels good! Combat is fun, exploration is fun.
* Magicite and equipment combos will be fun to experiment with.
* Music and audio in general is good.
* Begging for a toggle for field commentary from the fairy. Far too much of it now.

Finished up my FFV Four Job Fiesta! Offline this year because summer is always a mess with work and trying to stream. Pretty easy run -- Black, Blue, Red mages, and Chemist to round it out. !Mix on a Black Mage is absurdly good. Final boss is very easy with this combo.

When you speedrun Enter the Matrix for a marathon, you gotta go all out!
Thanks to the Speedromizer crew for having me again! Was a fun run yesterday, and I'm looking forward to another run with Godzilla next weekend.

I've been playing some indie RPG demos for a demo-review video, and I played through one for The Time I Have Left ( @groundga.bsky.social ). This is an *extremely* cool game, a mystery-exploration game with turn-based combat, dodging/parrying mechanics. It's tense. Great dark vibes. Check it out!
