    currently playing ys x: nordics. in the last chapter, so, might finish it soon. really enjoyed my time with it lol.

    also playing some crimsonland, used to play that game a lot as a kid.

    wanna play memories of celceta (ys 4) next. but might also give metal gear rising a shot, because M E M E S . i also wanna give dragon quest 3 a go too, idk why. maybe because i missed out on the classic jrpg era and was thrust straightforward into the deconstructionist/2deep4me era?

    there are some other games that i have on my library that i wanna try too.

    i will say however that it was nice and exciting to hear that okami’s getting a sequel. (wish they’d port okamiden to pc too though)

      I got into RDR and Metal Gear solely because of memes, best decision I’ve ever made.

      These 2 are like BB/BCS of games in terms of it.

      “deconstructionist/2deep4me era?”

      I wish we’d get out of this era entirely. Might be that we’re already seeing the end of it, but it can’t come fast enough. To be honest, a lot of “rethought what you think of the goody-two-shoes plot or goody-two-shoes cast” is very boring to me because it doesn’t say anything beyond “What you actually liked as a child was a lie.” What type of message is that? Some may say it’s “mature” but I don’t see it. It just promotes mindless cynicism.
