10pm! 9pm if i can get away with it. lately i just get up and listen to white noise in my bed while stone-cold awake with a sleeping mask on, running through plots in whatever story i’m working on. so the “up at 4am” thing is a complicated boast: whatever i am actually doing at 4am it is *always* in low-power mode.… Read more

do you have a PS4? an xbox one? a nintendo switch? an iPhone? an android? final fantasy vii is on all of those, and its the only port square enix has not messed up. it also has a 3x speed mode which makes the battles a silky-smooth 60fps! Read more

ah, yeah, i have mentioned this in another comment, though i sure did have a whole long section about how that kanji meant “seed” and how fun that is to think about when we’re talking about a race of people who were possibly aliens . . . i cut it because it concluded in a joke that was too dad-jokey even for me, and… Read more

the previous title was never “the” title. i never signed off on it! this is the title i suggested at the beginning and regretted not pushing for. at this point (as of maybe three episodes ago lol) i feel like this series has indisputably become “my” thing and not a “Kotaku Thing,” so i gave it my title. i won’t say i “… Read more

Plus it leaves the door open for people who would make the same comments I’m punching up to tell me I’m “trying too hard,” which is fun because… Read more

Not just a rogue-like, a Mysterious Dungeon (不思議のダンジョン), meaning it is descended from a lineage dating back to 1993. Literally a game which, unlike the rogue-likes of today, was designed by dudes whose only direct inspiration *was* Rogue! Read more

Yes, what Chris Person said. Also I am not gonna lie: I was wearing my reading glasses and not my distance glasses, and I only played for that one minute because Chris Person had to mess with the capture settings. I am ashamed of my performance and I promise I did much, much better last night :-O
