The perfect synergy between you and Alexa is *chef’s kiss*. I fuckin love Final Fantasy, and I weirdly keep all of my apps installed as I move phone to phone even if they don’t launch anymore. Also, “sickness” was slightly bait. I haven’t spent a dime in 99% of these games. I just like gacha. :D
And if you’re wondering, “Wow, why do you have all this useless knowledge.” I have a sickness…
Come see your boy showing off two amazing games, @amberbitegames.bsky.social’s Shoe it All! and Saf Interactive’s A Heavy Morning in Booth #1702 all weekend at MomoCon representing @brightgambit.bsky.social’s incredible portfolio of games!!
The left is a stack that has the versions I’m looking for. The right is the version that I always got when I was ordering these probably a decade ago. I’ve looked on and off on eBay for the correct version since then and I’ve never seen one.
I went and checked my tweets and my old notes and confirmed it is 100% fuckin Karl Jacobs playing. Unfortunately, despite me recording videos of everyone’s initial run of the game with my webcam, the video files appear to be lost to time. In fact, this is only like 1/12 photos that survived as well.
Y’all I was going through the archives and I have made a truly mind boggling discovery. You will absolutely never believe who is playing my first game at my booth at MomoCon 2015.
All kids should have a mandatory 10-hours a week in front of one of these from ages 8-18. Absolutely life altering experiences.
It’s even worse. It’s “we apologize if anyone is offended”. AND they edited it after the fact. Absolute shambles.
Okay, so I absolutely cheated here. But here are mine: Pre-2010, 2010-Post, Online, Second Chance.
Me, stopping scrolling to reply to something and missing this. (But truly congrats!!)
Congrats!! Dropping my text description for Leriche again. (If this is outside the bounds of the intent here, totally okay!)
My favorite personal example of this is trying to simulate the differences in dreaming, lucid dreaming, and night terrors, by using WASD for movement, then giving camera control to Arrow Keys, then taking away movement and leaving camera control. Literally doing this meme the instant someone played.
I’m legitimately so pissed I missed a lot of the singles for Gundam. I kept waiting for them to do CEs of everything. They are so insanely overpriced now that I don’t think I’ll ever have a complete collection. I panicked last Christmas and tried to find some and it is straight up grim.
I had a whole post typed up but I went to check on the Halo 3 Green Thumb configuration (because I was like Crouch is always O/B) and not only is Crouch L3 in Halo (Zoom/Crouch is swapped for CoD) there was also this line on the Halo Wiki entry. So yeah just absolutely decimated me with this one.
