Introduce yourself with four MECHS
An image of the mecha unit Escaflowne from the 1996 anime The Vision of Escaflowne; an alabaster robot that resembles a medieval European knight with a dark red cape, flared shoulder pads with green gems embedded on them, and a bright, glowing ruby on its left breast. It's frame is wide, but with a cinched waist to emphasize its chest. An image of the AMX-004 Qubeley from the 1985 anime Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam; a white robot with pink and purple accents all over its armor, with large flared shoulder pads that resemble an insect's wings. The helmet contains a pink eye that swerves between two parts of a bisected visor, its crown extended out behind itself. Its fingers are black metal and spindly, while its arms are slender, save for the boot-like gauntlets that bulk it up. The legs are similarly bulky and feature pointed toes. An image of Nephtis from the 2003 video game Zone of the Enders: The Second Runner. A sleek and slender pink mech with a wide head, a pair of antennae, almost flat looking metal wings, green lights all over, and a mechanical halo behind it. Its fingers are small and dexterous, its waist is cinched and its chest vaguely feminine, its legs are thick yet come to a tapered point at the ankle, forsaking feet. There is a pronounced phallic appendage between its legs; the "cockpit" if you will. Render of the Weltall-Id from the 1998 video game Xenogears. A deep red robot, incredibly slender, accented by gold runes and symbols along its legs, arms, and floating wings. It has a dark visor and rather pointed edges along its fingers, gauntlets, legs, head and shoulders. It's feet are a simple, barely attached crescent of steel connecting them to the mech's ankles.

If I had a nickel for every time a classic arcade game got a dark and gritty reinterpretation etc. etc.
The promotional poster for the Pac-Man themed action platform errors Shadow Labyrinth. A lone cloaked figure stands alongside a floating yellow orb in front a mysterious black tower emanating red light from the top. The box art for Bomberman Act: Zero for the Xbox 360. A humanoid being in metallic sci-fi armor withh glowing green lights and chains on their hands and hips poses in front of an explosion.

This is the third time an order from Sentai Filmworks has come to me with the cases falling apart; this is fucking ridiculous
An image of a Blu-ray case for the anime series "Sakura Wars", where the vast majority of the top corner of the case is broken. Behind it, a table with various blue plastic fragments on it A photo of the inside of the Blu-ray case of "Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken", where the plastic inner bits meant to hold the disc in place are broken off, lying below the case on a table.

10. Tales of Symphonia. This rocked my world at age 12, and it still holds up remarkably well. An RPG with real time combat, a twisty plot and fun, memorable characters. Other Tales games have iterated and improved upon this, but this laid the foundation for 3D Tales, and remains a comforting fave

9. Signalis. One of the best survival horror games I've played in ages. Takes from the very best while still telling a story unlike any other. Incredible visuals, sound, atmosphere and gameplay, equal parts tense and dreadful. My eye is on rose engine for whatever they make next

8. Xenogears. This game was made for me. Magnificently cool setting, wildly ambitious plot, fantastic visuals and music, and a super engaging turn-based combat system. Has some rough edges, especially in disc 2, but still phenomenal, and made me a lifelong Xeno fan

7. The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. Always loved this era of Zelda, and this one is my favorite; hauntingly beautiful and unique, with some of the most heartbreaking writing and memorable environments. An all time classic

6. Hotel Dusk: Room 215. A cozy adventure/visual novel that just breathes style and class, all while being incredibly inventive and using the DS in ways few other devs ever did. Still need to play that sequel, cause damn was this game great

5. Sin & Punishment: Star Successor. One of the few sequels Treasure ever made, and it ended up being one of the best light gun games ever; blisteringly fast, ridiculously cool gameplay, and excellent presentation. It's hard as hell, but definitely a classic for all you score attack junkies

4. Resident Evil (2002). This game is strangely comforting for me. It's chill and creepy atmosphere, rhythmic survival horror gameplay and fantastic visuals all feel like a warm blanket on a winter's night. Very easy to go back to and just vibe

3. 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors. The first entry in the Zero Escape series remains the best; a labyrinthine thriller with ridiculously engaging writing, characters and atmosphere that shakes things up just enough with escape room puzzles, all to tell a story only really possible in video games

2. Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner. My personal gold standard mech game; gorgeous mech designs courtesy of Yoji Shinkawa and Kazuma Kaneko, lightning fast combat that's perfectly fine-tuned, and a simple but memorable story about war, revenge and dehumanization that doesn't outstay its welcome

1. Starting off with a recent(-ish) fave, it's The Missing: J.J. Macfield and the Island of Memories. A beautiful puzzle platformer that masterfully weaves its gameplay with its heartfelt narrative and themes. J.J.'s story lives in my head rent free, definitely the best thing Swery has made
The cover for The Missing: J.J. Macfirld and the Island of Memories. A young blonde woman wearing a white dress and red shawl is looking at the camera, holding a deer-like plushie and wiping her bloodied mouth with her arm. She stands in front of a windmill in the middle of a field of flowers, and a young woman with short brown hair and wearing a skimmer hat, her back turned towards us. A screenshot of the same game. J.J. is running through a church as a strange gray entity with scissors chases after her. A screenshot of the same game. J.J. is rolling a bowling ball down a lane. A screenshot from the same game. J.J. is in a dilapidated building, receiving a phone call from Emily. She is saying "I have red wings now."

"No one but me remembers" Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon. A somber adventure game set in the aftermath of one of the most unique and beautiful apocalypses, focusing not on survival, but on connection, environmental story telling, and atmosphere

Not bad for just waking up
A photo of a long brown haired, hazel-eyed, white transfemme in a black hoodie, leaning against a Grogu-shaped pillow, her hand gently brushing hair out of her face to show a tired smile.

A Lesson in Vengeance has my number
An excerpt from the novel "A Lesson in Vengeance" by Victoria Lee. I shake my head, an odd smile twisting at my mouth. "I don't know. I'd rather wait until after I've graduated. It seems like such a cliché, doesn't it? Lesbians at a girls' school." "Hey now. I happen to like that cliché." I laugh. "I bet you do."
