It’s such a mad simple cover for what is essentially a wild compilation of amazing stuff.

You definitely should. The class upgrade stuff is so good. Some of the best sound effects ever made as well.

Here did I show you these post-its?

Big time! I play it pretty regularly. Like the first Suikoden, it does what it does perfectly.

I’ve moved on to Darts Club, which is both better and also worse.

Tried to pick stuff that had a direct influence on the way I think about games, or life, or just approach art in general. I should do another one for less influential, but ultimately still ride or die games. Super Bowling x9.

Nothing too surprising here I think.

Good stuff - I’d have two of these.

They should!

Wild that there's a Suikoden II anime. They should make a Poy Poy 2 anime.

Missed 303 day yesterday! The legend of the 303 dwarves anything I could say about it but it’s been a singularly influential synth for me (as you’ll know if you’re playing BIRDCAGE or SENTRY). There’s just something elemental about programming a 303. Thank you Mr Roland. youtu.be/IuwBGVFxVuU

Would like some more 40fps games for sure. Fallout has a 40fps mode.

Just used Ys as an example. I believe Resi can drop pretty low though - would likely be a much nicer experience with functional VRR.

It’s an extremely minor complaint when the 60fps mode is rock solid. It just really makes sense for Switch 2 to have functional, docked VRR; especially with games like Resi 9, Pragmata etc. targeting 60fps. I’m really into how scalable these big new games can be, pretty cool honestly.
