Chrono Cross update:

We're still playing even though there's been a lot of busy weekends allowing us down.

Recently did the Magical Dreamers, so the kids are obsessed with singing that now

Plenty of videogame music on my spooky playlists 👍

Like this great electro-swing-ish arrangement of the #LeChuck theme from #MonkeyIsland by BMVT

10 games to get to know me.

Except I forgot Chrono Trigger...

I mean, yes, #Steam, #Katamari is relevant to me, but probably not because I've played these games?

I even have both REROLLs on Steam...

Found 1gig of DDR2 3200 #RAM.

is it likely to be useful to anyone or not old enough to be of interest?

Welcome thoughts on what to do with it

Oh my god I'm so bad at White and Black Mage AoE placement.

Me: let's heal this unit
Enemies: move adjacent to the unit and get healed

Me: let's cast Fire on this enemy
Also me: let's use Throw Stone and knock it out of the AoE before the spell casts!

No contest for me, and shout-out to Sonic 2's balancing-on-an-edge animations too

How many of the top 20 best selling PS1 games have you played?

Oh look, my gaps are mostly horror.

I'll get to Suikoden one day... And I've played later Resi games.

Eldest is at a Mario themed soft modelling clay club.

I always make something small gaming related at these, but since today it's Mario themed, I opted for a character most of the kids wouldn't know.

It's Mallow!

(I did him from memory then compared to the reference after lol)
