play these games you dumb bitch (me, to myself)
i made this before i found out about the wishlist function now im in too deep
536 Games
too anxious to ever actually play this, but love it from the concept alone and the stories that rob zacny brought home with him from the war, as told on waypoint radio (episodes 414, 415, and 418, specifically)
i simply adore when i'm a demon made of glass and pain and yet i must skate, its my favorite thing to be
got some heavy ps2 horror vibes from this one, so i'm excited for this one
i never played jrpgs outside of the mario rpgs when i was a kid, so i decided to play every final fantasy in release order because thats how my brain works (badly), and its very neat, like somebody digitized a cute little dnd campaign for me to play, spell charges and all.
though as funny as the strict dichotomy of me having to make a break for the woods to go grind for 2 hours everytime i reach a town so i don't fall behind in leveling is, it does make it a bit harder for me to go back to it after i finish each session since im not like, actually progressing through the actual game,
but once i figure out how to emulate it on my phone and i can play it in bed or something, should be smooth sailing, would be a chill time honestly (my friend tells me that i picked the exact one jrpg that this sort of grind is, which is just my luck, if true)
incredibly charming visuals too, wizards have literally never looked better than this
update: finally bothered to get this on a handheld and folks, it rips. sometimes its just nice to be a tiny band of wizards getting their asses kicked up and down the continent

finished! very good! Arrgh! Avast!! and so on and so forth (incredible detective game hampered down a lil bit from its pulpy orientalist mysticism veneer imo)
a text-based strategy sim centered around navigating the complex geopolitical manuverings of a country on the edge of an extremely precarious stability that is beset on all sides by its neighbors and the dominant world powers seeking to engage in ideological proxy wars.
all of which is best informed by a clear understanding of the historical events and relationships that brought said country to its current historical moment, as well as the various institutions that wield its power and how they work, all helpfully catalogued through a heavy in-game codex,
Unfortunately, i only ever boot this up when i'm half asleep at 5 in the fucking morning and can't be bothered to do the reading to actually play this game, which is just some tragic stuff on my part really
damn these bitches gay!! good for them, good for them
quite frankly the perfect video game, just pure joy
