So I bought the DLC packs for SRW Y. I have never seen Ideon (I know the name from that one clip of Anno from Aoi Honoo), but apparently it's aura farming and everyone is afraid of it. 😆 I'm just here like, "didnt expect aura farming. Guess I should check out its anime" #superrobotwars #anime

Watched the Nintendo Direct for Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave. I'm glad they addressed the complaints about the route management from 3H. Allowing the player to play the 4 heroes' stories in parallel like 13 Sentinels is good move. The gameplay change in dungeons is interesting. 🤔 #fireemblem

This is the first time I've seen someone with the actual correct interpretation of what is happening here: Sony wants to go full subscriptions service/cloud gaming. They don't want to sell you physical games because they don't want to sell you *games*. They want to sell you a subscription.

This took me several weeks to make because I went through several years worth of corporate/investor/earnings reports but... here it is! The actual, long-term reason Sony killed physical discs, and why they can't go back. youtu.be/_Znc7MVsSlg?...
