I'll be checking this out later, thanks!

I just think the balance between nature and machine is neat

Rune Factory 2 for the Nintendo DS. It was the first video game I got to pick as a child (from a Costco bin back when they did that!) and it cultivated my love for farming games AND monster fighting! It hasn't held up too great over the years but it'll always be dear to me.

I WISH I could be like this! Looking at my gaming history is almost embarrassing like why do I jump between games and genres like some hellish game of leapfrog 😭
