I actually only played through FFX last year.The setting and characters are all-timers, not just in the franchise but the medium. For a battle system where weaknesses and status effects are so important, the ui was terrible at making that information accessible.

Highly recommend the @onefenixdown.bsky.social demo. FF6 vibes were strong, adored all the party characters and battle sprites. The battle music intro triggered a pavlovian reaction 😅 store.steampowered.com/app/2822740/...

If I had known the two paragraphs about genAI in my article today would be so controversial, I would have expanded them a bit! Here's a rough transcript of the relevant portion of my interview with Swen Vincke, so everyone has all the context. (Full article here: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...)
This is a great video. Appreciate and empathize with Gavin's remark that it's humans making a game, doing the best they can, and hoping players find joy in it.

7-1 with UR tempo/draw 2! A few notes: - Penguins are bargain-bin Sahagins but for draw 2? - Professor Zei may be at its best here - Twin Blade + Boomerang + pick up Blade w/ a board of Penguin + Hawk was wild @chordocalls.bsky.social @sierkovitz.bsky.social @lordsoflimited.bsky.social ty folks!
Just finished @blakemanorgame.bsky.social and it's one of my favorites of the year. Adored the story, setting, and characters. I'd love to investigate another case with Declan Ward!
4-1'd for my first Spiderman trophy w/ UW Flyers. The synergies between archetypes are fun. Lots of evasion and counters from UB. Shorter drafts and a smaller set is nice variety for folks that can't grind 24/7 so I hope this format sticks around @chordocalls.bsky.social @lordsoflimited.bsky.social
Today is my birthday (turning 29), which is the only time all year that I ask for a repost 🌿 I hope you get lost in fantasy worlds as much as I do 🔮
Just finished Trails to Azure Chapter 4 + Fragments 🫨 That was awesome!!

Miyamoto, Itoi, Iwata, and the value of ‘creative destruction’, 2011. Source: Iwata Asks #MiyamotoQuote, #ItoiQuote, #IwataQuote www.notion.so/8f65dbbe83ce...
![PEOPLE:
- Shigeru Miyamoto, age 58. Creator of Mario & Zelda. General Manager of Nintendo EAD.
- Shigesato Itoi, age 62. Creator of Earthbound.
- Satoru Iwata, age 51. President of Nintendo.
QUOTE:
Miyamoto: [Meetings are] no good if someone doesn't at least once introduce some creative destruction, like, "I'm not so sure…" Something that is broken down and reassembled has greater reality.
Itoi: Like, "Isn't that a little boring?" or "Aren't you avoiding what you should really be doing?" Or, "Don't you think the fans may not like that?"
Miyamoto: Right. It's important that the values of someone who says that—the values of a single person—rework the problem once. Then it gets more real.
… On the other hand, when it comes to everyone deciding together, it lacks sharpness or something like that.
Iwata: Yeah. When a meeting yields results, you didn't decide anything by consensus, but rather, somebody laid their opinion on the line.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2e7f2uvcguv4d5qxqnyjmk32/bafkreigexapb7772k4iqzp5sqcq42hdpviafevzeecmauajl6dqffjg4pi)
I changed the way I work a couple of months ago to follow this advice, it made a big difference and my productivity went up by miles. (I don't know who made this image, if you do, let me know so they can be credited)
So, I wrote a little something about the historical evolution of terms like "RPG" and "CRPG" - and how the title of The CRPG Book doesn't make sense in 2025 anymore: crpgbook.wordpress.com/2025/06/14/h...
How to define RPGs and CRPGs? And why the title of my book doesn’t make sense anymore :(
As the editor of The CRPG Book, I feel qualified to answer what are CRPGs, RPGs, JRPGs and WRPGs in a very clear, concise and precise way: It depends.

2-0-1 to finish pre-release weekend. Jecht, Sin, and Ultimecia are all a blast to resolve. Don't sleep in Vincent's Limit Break. #finalfantasy #magic
1-1-1, not that exciting. Joshua is a very fun card. Lifegain Clerics and Legends seem like hidden archetypes. #magic #finalfantasy
2-1'd. Dion, Venat, Jill, The Lunar Whale, and Valkyrie Aerial Unit are good as expected. The merchant's loot and 4 toughness over performed. #magic #finalfantasy
