It was pointed out to me a while ago that the Romancing SaGa logo looks like it says "Romancing Salsa" and I can't unsee that.

Oh hell yeah. This was so fun the first time around! I will be binging this again, but this time summoning all my mutuals to get in here!!

This is fantastic! I will definitely be leaving this on while I work this week.

One of Welcome Tour's demos presents the joycons as a set of Maracas, and you can change what's inside, between being filled with beads and having a rubber ball inside. HD Rumble 2 provides very precise haptic feedback to make it actually feel like those things are inside. It's bizarre.

It definitely should have been a pack-in game, but I don't regret spending ten bucks on it. It's fine.

Ya girl represented! After answering questions about the likes of Panel de Pon, Mr. Resetti, Howard Phillips' declaration about Sega CD's Night Trap, and the Howard & Nester comics, I won and got to move to the front of the line! Tonight was a very fun night.

I figured I'd have a nice shot at it, so I came back for trivia. There were around 25 participants and the questions were wide-ranging, encompassing obscure Nintendo-related knowledge across its entire history (including a question about Hanafuda cards).

Well...

One issue they haven't resolved that I really wish they'd fix is that the system doesn't account for roman numerals when listing games, it's strictly alphabetical. So you end up with silly situations like this one, with FF4, FF9, and FF5 in order because IV, IX, and V are alphabetically sorted.

It's a great game, I hope you enjoy it!

I know this isn't really DF's realm but I would love to see some audio equipment analysis from you / you guys. I'm not sure my budget goes ~this~ high, but figuring out what's worth spending up for and what's overpriced is incredibly difficult if you don't follow the scene.

Heck yeah. I think it'd be awesome if manufacturers opened back up and let folks publish games on those platforms still. If they did a hybrid release strategy, where the game is emulated on the current system, but folks could order physical copies for the older machines, I would be all over that.

Oh great callout. In addition to Pizzarias, let's bring back Corn on the Cob popcorn too.
