I had to buy a new phone today, and while setting up the data copy from my old phone, I had to practice the Switch Which Device Is Charging Which Any% speedrun route repeatedly for over an hour until I managed to prevent the old phone from instantly powering off upon being plugged in.

So anyway, non-replaceable batteries...

someone: the genesis had bad sound compared to the super nintendo

me, listening to Gauntlet IV's soundtrack for some reason: what

found out Hitoshi Sakimoto (FF Tactics, FF12, Vagrant Story) wrote a custom sound driver for the Mega Drive from scratch specifically so he could compose absolute FUCKING masterpiece soundtracks for the system. what the FUCK

tfw you finished #OMORI before most of your friends

Something I really appreciate, both for its accessibility and its ludonarrative resonance with the theme around Headspace, is that each of the main endings, particularly the Good ending, is accessible without completing arbitrary tasks earlier in the game. The final decisions are ultimately what counts, and it doesn't try to obfuscate the impacts those choices will have.

The game also doesn't force you to experience other endings if you don't want to, just to get the Good ending. It respects you for not being ready for more pain, and pacing yourself.

I feel like this is particularly important given that OMORI is published in a time period where people are extremely isolated and vulnerable to reclusion.

Really impressed that Steam's concurrent player count for OMORI during the day in the US and Europe has reliably been around 2.5k since release. That's a strong showing for an RPG Maker horror game.

I have been sitting here in silence since the ending for 10 minutes. I am in awe.

OMORI is the most moving and painful narrative piece I've ever experienced.

[halo announcer voice] ODD PAW.

PLAY PAW.

OMORI is good shit 👌

so I've been playing FF8

happy 20 years of Phantasy Star Online!

FF8's junction system is fuck-busted

In monochrome melodies,
Our tears are painted in red
(bleeding to the edge)
Deep inside,
We're nothing more
Than Scions and Sinners
In the rain
Do Light and Darkness fade
Oh...

heard there was games
