New video! I love a good story, and even more than that, I love a good TWISTED story. These are the ten most out-there plots in JRPGs. If your favorite didn't make my list, let me know and maybe we can do a Part 2. Link below.
New video! Are you a dubber or a subber? I'm here and ready for all the accusations of "fake fan" and "tourist" and "skill issue" (???). Let's get into it.
Teamed up with @avengermags.bsky.social @justthegems.net @slamzany.bsky.social and @retrobrandon.bsky.social to talk about what we played at PAX East! www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCwy...
If you're into a breezy watch with some classic, dark JRPG recommendations, check out my latest! Link below.
New video! I'm looking at JRPGs with just the right amount of dark-and-twisted to provide some relief from a genre otherwise full of light and cheerful power-of-friendship stories. Let me know if there are any I missed, in the comments! Likes and Reposts appreciated!
If the news of the Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter Collector's Edition's price blew your mind, well, you're not alone. But it gave us the idea to sit down and go through EVERY Trails CE and rank them, so I guess some good came of it... RTs and Likes greatly appreciated!
The Trails series is coming to an end... and I have some thoughts. If you want to chat, check out the video and drop me a comment! Link below.
If you're in the market for some Ys, then today's your lucky day, because Ys X Proud Nordics is out! Check out my review (link below) if you wanna know all the details about what makes this different than the previous version of Ys X.
I've been intrigued by this game for a long time, so on a whim, I bought it. And it's kinda incredible? A wild fever dream, a dark religious parable, check out my video highlighting Indika from @11bitstudios.bsky.social, and let me know your thoughts, too! www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNrg...
"Nuncharted?" What in the world is this game??? - INDIKA

We've gotta talk about this Xenoblade leak! Video below:
We have been so blessed with Dragon Quest these last couple of years! (Dragon Blessed?) The latest remake, Dragon Quest VII Reimagined, is coming this week, and I've got a full review for you right here! Or below, I mean. (Thanks to Square Enix for providing the review code.)
New video this week! The storytelling in Trails is the best because it takes some HUGE swings and has some of the most creative ideas in science fiction and fantasy. Let's talk about that, shall we? (Spoiler-free until the very end of the video, plenty of warning.)
The hype for Trails Beyond the Horizon is very real - if you want to know my thoughts, check out my spoiler-free review! Link below, RTs and Likes always appreciated!
The irony is, if she HAD been trying to drive into them, she'd probably be alive right now.
Octopath Traveler 0 is here, and it brings the biggest changes to the Octopath series yet! Let's talk about those changes, and whether or not this is worthy of the name! Thanks @SquareEnix for providing the code (and for making the game). Link below, RTs greatly appreciated!
New video! Time to gush about the COOLEST Trails merch I've ever seen! Come hang out 😊

New video! Let's talk about how we can advocate for Trails (or any game or series we want to get more exposure for)!
I love getting spooky game recommendations from people, so I thought, why don't I make some of my own? These are all games I've played recently, and they're all absolutely worth your time. (Okay, one of them is a demo, but STILL, you need to play it.) 🔗👇, ♻️appreciated!

Harvestella is one of the best under-the-radar titles from @square-enix-games.com that you've never heard of. Unless you've been following me, in which case you've DEFINITELY heard of it. Here's why you might have missed it, and why you shouldn't! RTs appreciated! youtu.be/7C5JD1wd0so
Going through my comments the last several weeks, it seems like some people really don't like my music in my videos. I'm thinking about trying something different, maybe mostly no music with pieces of tracks to highlight certain things or something.
This is not a drill! Harvestella is on sale for $23.99 on Steam until October 6. This is possibly my favorite @square-enix-games.com game, and it got slept on because people thought it was a farming sim. It's not. I have a video coming out about it next week, get this game! bit.ly/4gSWSlr

To any trolls out there, if you really want to get to me in a comment, you won't do it by calling me woke or whatever. This is the way. 🥲😭😅
New video! I was hyped for these JRPGs -- some of them I even started out enjoying! But then... things took a turn. Likes and RTs appreciated, let me know what you think in the video comments! youtu.be/Xbn6rnf0Zbg
I posted recently about our annual Walk to End Alzheimer's, in honor of my father-in-law Martin who we lost to Alzheimer's disease. We're just $95 away from meeting our goal! If you're able to give, I would appreciate it so much! Thank you!! act.alz.org/goto/JustThe...
