Today is the anniversary of Trails in the Sky, I did not plan this at all but I have a very short writeup posted about Falcom and the unique player-developer dynamic that they have. Read on substack or medium in the replies. Thoughts appreciated

People say no game is perfect, and I’m sure we all recognize this as true. But Resident Evil 4 Remake is the first game I’ve played that has come the closest to challenging that notion. It respects the player’s time, capabilities, and intelligence.

Say hello to Snufflepaw 🐾
Turnip hoarder. Professional snuggler. Secret keeper.
This newborn neshi may look like comic relief—
but beneath the fluff lies a truth that could change everything.
Some heroes waddle.

NieR: Automata will always haunt you — in the best way.
Years later, no game has made me feel the same.
Here’s why it stuck with you. Why it changed me.
And why it still matters.

Deep in the Greywood stands the heart of Valograve: an overgrown temple where Enra meets the spirit of The Chain. What transpires here will shatter everything she knows and set her journey in motion.

Become Unchained. A high-fantasy tactical role-playing game where conflicts can be resolved through force or non-violent negotiation. Meet and bond with those you encounter as you explore the Greywood, where you'll fight hard or weave words.
