I can’t quite believe that I’ve been waiting for this since the Wii U days, but here we are.

I bought a secondhand Analogue Pocket, which plays gameboy and gba games; and I love it. The screen makes my old favourites look amazing.

I’m replaying Red on the original hardware and honestly, being able to look up stuff on the site, like how I used to check my strategy guide back in the day, has been so helpful.

I think the ending of book three still haunts me, but in a sorta good way.

I read this years ago and I still think about it probably every couple of weeks.

I definitely enjoyed the richer colours in ZA. Even if they do keep changing things up between games, I hope they keep the more vivid colour palette.

Glad for the opportunity to bust out this classic:

God he’s so insecure, it’s pathetic. I’d almost feel bad for him, if he wasn’t so unrepentantly evil in everything he does.

*Sigh* I should call her.

That’s all the permission I need!

Honestly, I love how passionate he is to talk about his game. It makes a nice change from Nintendo’s usual “extremely friendly but formal” vibe for Directs.

That said, man clearly loves being the main character 😂

I had this situation with a small press in the UK. When I tentatively suggested that perhaps the contract could be altered a little (after advice from Society of Authors) they decided to withdraw it entirely. Probably dodged a bullet there!

I’m about to juggle FF Tactics and the new Digimon, AND then somehow Pokemon ZA as well. I’m already stressed!

You’d think they’d be used to him by now!

If you want something really Epic, definitely Foundation.
