I'm trembling while writing this: Kamaitachi no yoru—not the PC remake, not the iOS port, but the actual original SFC version—has been translated at last by ButThouMust, who graciously brought us an English patch for Otogirisou in the past. This is HISTORICAL.

Missed opportunity by Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Nintendo Switch 2 Edition in that Momo and Momo (i) seem to have the same mercenary team name. They could'a had, like, "The Belles Pêches" and "The Beaux Pécheurs" and the 12 Xenosaga fans playing would've clapped.

So I'm gathering that Tales games love establishing a world-state and then slowly revealing the lies and misunderstandings and propaganda that hold it up so my idea if I had to write one is that the initial "reveals" are the villains fuckin' with the player expecting that structure.

Okay so checking some early information for Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, apparently one of Momo's favorite items is the "Master's Curry", and I checked the Xeno wiki, it's also one of KOS-MOS' favorite items. And a second later I realized it's because of Shion... ough...

Wait, just realized, the Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Upgrade Pack lists the release date as the 30th even on the Australian eShop, which means its one of those games that drops at like, midday to drop at midnight in America. Hell yeah, Xenoblade tomorrow.

Played for about an hour. My score went up so I guess I won more than I lost overall. Fought this same Jamie player towards the start and end, and I felt more confident the second time at least. (Shamelessly posting the hype at clip, because I got beat by this Jamie plenty too, believe me).

Played some online with a friend who also just got SF6 on Switch 2. Neither of us have eternet connections and we're both newbiews but damn was that fun. When I figure out how to post the clip I saved you'll all see.

It's really surreal to try and get into Street Fighter 6 because of Young Ladies Don't Play Fighting Games - as someone following the manga I didn't realize how "literally Cammy" Secretary Nekomi was... Trying out the different options for Hooligan Combination and getting vivid YLDPFG flashbacks.
