And now for an interesting exercise. What's the *best* way to prepare for the first fight of chapter 2? For reference, this is what the battle's composition and map looks like:

Finished my revisit of the PS1 version of Tactics Ogre today! It was a fun game, despite its issues. I love how the game gives you increasingly broken and fun shit as you progress through it, yet *still* manages to remain challenging, to the very end.

Actual line from Tactics Ogre: "Guns are not like swords or bows. The philosophy behind this weapon is very different from them."

I love how Nybbas, the necromancer responsible for a zombie outbreak that Denim resolves in the Neutral route, outright addresses the flaws of both kinds of "revive" spells in the game in universe.

THIS square, to be exact:

Yeah imagine forming a good fighting line from there lol.

Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines is very strong with its vibes, but I must say, the final level knocks that specific aspect out of the park. Nothing like infiltrating a multi layered castle with all the commandos to close out the game.

Level 17

Same barracks, but now we planted a flag, so it's a "garrison"! Lol.

This made me giggle.

Commandos' twelfth mission is set in the middle of a bustling, if militarily occupied Tunisian city.

My first thought is, "It's pretty and all, but why does it look so unscarred? Isn't there a war going on?"

Probably the most bizarre account I've seen involving generative AIs...

It's kinda weird to see Nazis taking over a madrasah and using it as their HQ... #commandos #screenshots

I remember the time Star Ocean 2 mimicked Final Fantasy 6.

Those who know, know. 😢

It is commonly repeated that old games used to have their graphics designed for CRT displays, and their scanlines. That may be true...but I still enjoy how they look "raw". A fine example:

Was randomly reminded of Quintessence: The Blighted Venom, Kan Gao's earliest game, today, so have some (not very good) fanart I drew for it, like...a year ago.

This is the best convo ever written for a videogame:

Randomly found this piece of cool Sword of Mana concept art. Almost makes me want to play it right now, lol!
