01 - Fantasian: Neo Dimension

A great turn-based JRPG with a unique combat system, decent (if well-trodden) story, and good characters from several of the visionaries behind the Final Fantasy franchise.

Started playing Fantasy Life I: The Girl Who Steals Time yesterday after some dental surgery.

...she stole 6 hours from me. What a cute, addictive little game. I'm loving it so far!

It just hit me like a ton of bricks. @benstarr.bsky.social , is that your voice on the Clair Obscur track, "Until Next Life"?

Good grief man, you've got a great singing voice!

Did you, like me, miss the Onimusha games when they first released? Now is a GREAT time to get into the franchise.

Check out my review of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 for Geeks Under Grace.

I've been writing reviews a long time. Been over a decade since I've covered a game this good.

I'll have more to say in the coming days, after I've defragged.

Does anyone else just...not have the mental or emotional bandwidth to be creative right now?

Are there any #Lorcana players out there? I'd be curious to hear what y'all think of a couple decks I cooked up.

Out of curiosity, are there any games this year you would consider to be "Hidden Gems?" Anything that flew under the radar you think folks should check out? #videogames #gaming #gamers

A few months ago, my wife and I decided to work on our health. We got married in the pandemic, stopped exercising, and stress ate fast food way too much.

Now I kickbox and play pickleball. I've fallen back in love with movement.

I'm not flawless but moving in the right direction.
