I believe in armor but only for your hands.
JRPGs and Buttcheeks are pretty rad.

Noticing a definite uptick in negative comments on old videos lately but like, man, they couldn't be less accurate.

Trails Through Daybreak 2 has undoubtedly received some of the most heated criticism in franchise history.
And I get it... But does the reception really paint the whole picture?

I have a lot of history with composing, song writing, recording and mixing.
In every step of that process I've run into the "It's never complete" wall.
No matter what, I want to keep tweaking and modifying things.
Being able to call an "imperfect" peice done might be a good thing :P

Been working on a novel on and off since Jan 2024.
Happy to say that today I finished the first draft.
Gonna spend the next 3 months learning to edit, then edits and rewrites start soon after.
Crazy to come so far and still have so much more left to go.

Turns out DS games don't go to sleep when you close the 3DS screen, so when you leave your 3DS plugged in for over a year to "eventually come back to that game" you log some serious hours.

Some recent pickups.
Really looking forward to Final Fantasy Tactics remake. My wife has never played it. It'll be fun going through it with her and seeing her experience PEAK tactics gameplay and story for the first time.

I am still alive. I should probably lurk and post here more often.
The other place... It just hasn't been the same for a long time.

A few black-friday-season pickups.
God of War Ragnarok never seemed to go on sale around here so this is a really overdue pickup for me.

What was your gateway to RPGs and the ones that cemented your fan status?
Mine are all over the board across many years. Zelda 2, Legacy of the Wizard, PS1 Era final fantasy, Shining Force 1/2, Tales of Symphonia-
But I think the biggest was a little rememebred PC series called Exile.
