Just the wife and me, plus the cat and baby in the womb I guess Spent one entire day cooking but now I don’t have to move a finger in the kitchen for the whole break so that’s neat.

Happy Ishtar, Wolf Doing anything intersting over the holidays?

Omg that’s a lot XD But I know the struggle. I always have a problem after my initial chapter which I start in medias Red because it’s gripping and exciting like that, but after that it’s always exposition while walking. I really need to fix that.

I’ve never really done actual revising. I’m really looking forward to that tbh

It’s crazy how the gaming industry is sometimes.

Meanwhile, my minimal gaming diet seems to be working. I play Pokémon HeartGold much more like I used to as a kid (I.e. prioritizing catching them all and just having fun along the journey rather than fine tuning a team from the get go and basically rushing the story) and I’m having way more fun and actually feeling like a kid again. But best of all, I am writing again. It feels very frustrating that all these characters that are so alive and driven in my head come across as very flat on paper, but I try to grin and bear it and force myself to accept that this is draft zero and everything will get refined once I get to revising.

Idk, the SNES era is when they made the first two mainline games and in general created the formula the series would later remix. Sure, there were weird things like the SRPG miniseries, but I feel like the experiments in style and tone in the PS1 era are what makes it more of a dork age.

Never followed those two much, tbh, though I am very aware of Konami’s implosion. The PS2 was a good age for many developers, though. There was definitely an abundance of quality titles

I’ve heard nothing but bad things about it. Though that is part of the allure.

I still kinda find it hilarious how the PS1 era was Atlus’ dork age, considering how huge a following they’d get in the next generation

It is. As much as a hit the PS2 era was in gaming at large, the PS1 has a lot of really interesting, experimental stuff that gave us a lot of unique games. It’s a shame that this is the era where many of SE’s IPs that weren’t FF or DQ died.

That’s true. If you really feel like it’s time then you should really go for it. It’s why I went back to Pokémon so it’s be hypocritical of me to say otherwise

I get what you mean. Talking about a game I like often makes me want to go and replay the game I like instead of playing something new. Which can get annoying if you want to play new games. The question is ask myself if I were you would be how many times you’ve played Xenogears. If the answer is “too many”, that’s when I would go out of my way to hype myself up for - in your case - Dark Soups 3
