Any podcasts (that you don't regularly co-host) you'd shout out as a good listen? On any topic, always looking to expand my horizons!

Every Zelda has a dungeon like that. It's usually the water-themed one

Like maybe that apex is just a local maximum and a Really Good Idea will come along some day, but it's probably not going to happen while we all chase the coattails of the best there ever was. Give it space and come back in the distant future

I think certain genres of games have already reached an apex and we should cool it on making more. I submit that cozy farming sims are in this category - Stardew Valley fulfilled the genre that Harvest Moon defined and everything since has been a pale imitation

At least a big roster means that when the meta shifts after an update it might be 5 different characters

I respect this take, and I see where it comes from, but I don't agree. I like when narrative content is gated off behind the player's choices and behavior because it means that my experience within the game can be meaningfully different from others'.

Good on you for choosing objectively the best version too. I am not ashamed to admit middle school me mained "that sword guy from Melee" because he still feels great to play as.

I love how goofy V is in comparison to the rest of the series. When it hits you with heartfelt tender moments, while they may not be as deep or dramatic or tragic as FF is capable of, they're still memorable by their contrast with the rest of the game's tone.

I love the Unown spelling out "crystal version tips" in the top banner. That's how you can tell these writers knew their stuff.

Absolutely agreed. The only exception is Princess Mononoke. Despite being an outstanding film, it definitely crosses the "graphic violence" threshold.

In a similar vein is Xenoblade Chronicles 2. I want to love that game so much, but man those devs sure packed in all of the lewd anime tropes. It makes me happy that XC3 is such a refutation of that genre convention, even if I think it is overall weaker than 2 from a gameplay standpoint.

Totally. The necessity of tools like Kobold Fight Club to properly run my table is an indictment of that design philosophy.
