ヽ(・∀・)ノ My DMs and comments are open. Feel free to recommend me any game to play or just to chat. I usually play rpgs, both turn-based and action games, or nakige visual novels. The adorable girl on the screenshot is Maris Stella from "Kara no Shoujo"

FromSoftware once sold a tool that let you create your own dungeon RPG. It was called Sword of Moonlight. Released for Windows in Japan in 2000, it even included a playable King’s Field remake. Yes, the Moonlight sword’s name was also used for a GAME-MAKING TOOLKIT. And the weapon itself first appeared six years earlier, in the original King’s Field (1/6)

It's a cool game. I like how they used static comic images instead of 3D cutscenes. It's not only very stylish, but, as devs stated, also was cheaper and much faster alternative if some scenes needed to be replaced~
Remember "Bullet Time" from 25 years ago? Max Payne is a quarter of a century old and still one of the best games I ever played. Far more than “just” a shooter, Max Payne had a cool film-noir atmosphere with excellent cutscenes and a complex, evolving story. The slow-motion sequences (bullet time) always reminded me of "The Matrix", and the soundtrack greatly added to the dark and brooding mood. It was a massive hit, selling over 4 million copies and had two sequels. Likely unfamiliar to younger gamers today, but the slightly older folks will surely remember Max Payne, right?

don't forget that fromsoftware also put out a visual novel/adventure game maker that comes with the weirdest game samples like atsushi taniguchi (producer for lost kingdoms) doing a handstand

Metal Gear Solid(1) has a lot of interesting and fun Easter eggs. One that’s often missed today: if you play with the audio set to Mono and call Campbell during the Hind-D battle, you’ll get this humorous, fourth-wall-breaking codec interaction.

#konami #hideokojima #policenauts "Policenauts" is a fun visual novel with some arcade elements: you can shoot enemies and search for clues on the crime scene. Directed by the creator of MGS series, Hideo Kojima, btw! I feel like many people can recognize the main character, because YouTube creators like to put him to retro music covers~

I didn't know what Deathsmiles was before looking into this, it was a Gothic fashion inspired horizontal shmup that was designed to be easier and casual friendly, it even came with its own xbox 360 controller. it has insanely high reviews on steam and is on sale now for only 10$
In the late 2000s Xbox was desperate for Japanese players to come to their console. So they started giving money to basically any Japanese dev that asked, which lead to the 360 becoming a haven for niche Japanese genres like shmups and visual novels. all of these were exclusives!

#FF14 I've just learnt that you need cheese to make Borscht in FF14. Now I wonder if it tastes better with it, I've never tried to add cheese to this soup even once in my life. Don't mind lettuce in the recipe, let's pretend it's cabbage, they look similar xD

One-shotting enemies with an alien bluster was fun. Aliens in the second Fallout are also big fans of Elvis Presley, you can find his portrait near them :3 This game has so many fun references if you think about it. The other one I remember is Monty Python, but with a ridiculously strong rat instead of a rabbit x)

If you've seen the Lenneth artwork in the FF14 fanfest, know that Valkyrie Profile is easily top 3 JRPG series. The story is finding recently dead people to send to Valhalla & it's full of tragedy like this boy innocently wishing the girl he loved to be reunited with her parents.

It's pretty wild seeing Valkyrie Profile get 0 reaction from its showing at fanfest. This used to have a bit of a following back then and consistently considered one of the best JRPG series ever made. Now it's pretty much forgotten!

I tend to think about the past a lot so I try not to dwell on it too much, but there are times that unrealistic part of me cannot help thinking that I'd give just about anything to be around 10 years old again. The simplicity, the sense of wonder, so much has changed and will continue to because change is the inevitable constant in life. At least there are fun ways to briefly revisit.
