That GQux episode was truly incredible. Dropping in the classic music like that? Chefs kiss.

Rock is a Lady’s Modesty continues to be a hoot. The second episode was slower but had some great character moments and a lot of humor packed in. I loved Otoha stalking Lilisa around the school.
My wife and I have been binging Apothecary Diaries and are now very nearly caught up. Really enjoying this show a lot. All the mystery and intrigue and just the right about of silliness mixed in, it keeps you on your toes.
Gundam Gquz had a promising start. As a gundam nerd I’m really excited at the idea of an alternate history UC timeline. Tons of fascinating lore bits being dropped in conversation. We don’t know much about our two main characters yet so hopefully that deepens a bit soon. As for the gundam itself, to be honest I’m not a huge fan of its design, but it’s not a deal breaker by any means.

Nicely done! Barbatos is one I’d like to build as well someday. Gotta love that giant mace.

For me games from the NES era can tough to enjoy for more than a short period of time. They just tend to feel punitively difficult in a way that is not very fun. I’d much prefer a Mario from SNES onward any day for example.

I played Goldeneye at an arcade recently that had an N64 set up and actually had a great time. But people who hadn’t grown up with it and tried to join in found it pretty frustrating. So I can see that going either way tbh.

This for sure. There are other great examples, like Yoshi’s Island or Mario 64, but World is the one I grew up with and have the most nostalgia for.

Haha, that doesn’t entirely surprise me tbh. I watched the trailer for one of the Ryza games earlier today and it didn’t look like something I’d enjoy. The newer Yumia game looks like it has some potential but I’ll definitely still wait and see.

You know I wasn’t really aware of this series before but this certainly grabbed my attention.

So excited for this!! Not only for the show itself but also for more music! The first season was so great and I adore the soundtrack.

Getting to the top of the mountain in Celeste. It may not be the hardest challenge in the game (screw you Farewell), but just arriving there with the soundtrack swelling felt so good.
Completing the golden path in Tunic.
Any number of silly things in FFXI that at the time probably felt immensely important.

Oh wow. I played the hell out of this game as a kid. Knew it from the thumbnail immediately.

This is such a bizarre conclusion to come to.

I feel like I could have some fun with a remake of Descent 1 and 2.
