I love learning about all the ways we love games.

@pcfxfanclub.bsky.social cohost.
www.onecontrollerport.com also on YouTube.

Always open to direct messages.
Took like 26 levels and most this year since I slowed down a lot on Horizon but finally got new DRK armor.

If you get best in slot at 45, you're just a huge gap until 71.

Final Fantasy XIV rubs me the wrong way in a way I've never been able to understand. Which is odd, since I'm a big Final Fantasy and online RPG fan.

@pitohui.org joins me in a (hopefully) series of podcasts to find some closure after over a decade of frustration.

No one knows how stepping up works in White Knight Chronicles.

I love just how long you're inactionable in this game after getting knocked down.

Very Kamen Rider-y lol

Just wanna say I have a ton of respect for Final Fantasy Grand Masters.

I only played at launch, but I think it really took a lot of the surface-level elements of FFXI and made them work in a mobile game online RPG space.

Wish my account didn't get banned lol.

I thought I'd try XIV again after the free log-in campaign, but it's not a month-long free period. It's a whole month to activate a 4-day playtime period, which is pretty lame.

Apparently, it begins when you log into the launcher, which I've already done.

Love and berry fan art was one of the last things I expected to find at EVO

I like the outfit designs in Magical Craft. It also looks like it has this weird on-rails exploration mode, which I'm trying to figure out if I like lol.

If it's fully explorable, I'm more for it, but if it's just a warp between areas, maybe not so much.

For some reason, I really like the towns in White Knight Chronicles, but it's tough to put my finger on. I kind of find the long corridors a bit charming even though they're *probably* hiding load times lol.

Something about them gives them FFXIV 1.0 vibes from time to time.

It's been a while since I've had a game where your party members literally get stuck on a wall and can't seem to recover from that lol.

Good amount of progress yesterday. The combat can be a bit slow even for me, but I do appreciate when everything aligns and you can chain together everything to burn like half the HP of a boss.

Also, man, I'm always impressed how well PS3/360 games have held up visually.

There's no way to go around cats. It's impossible.

New Hot Pot Gaming up! I talk to the developer of Misc. A Tiny Tale (@miscatinytale.bsky.social), a Chibi-Robo-inspired 3D platformer.

We talk about the development of the game and what impact they'd like to have on players.
