It’s also odd because of Xbox’s recent push to boost market share in Japan. Why would they close their only Japanese studio?

I’m playing the original Phantasy Star via the SEGA Ages version on Switch. Very much enjoying the simplicity of an 8-bit RPG, but it’s amazing to see how much they were able to push the Sega Master System to its limits.

Also trudging through Dirge of Cerberus on PS2. It’s clunky and jank as hell but I love the atmosphere.

Just got my copy of the reprint for Switch 😋

A few years back in Massachusetts actually, the taxpayers hit an annual threshold cap and the state had to refund some of the money to those who filed.

Will and Jada have some suspicious ties to the Church and its beliefs too. They’ve denied being part of it but some instances are so overt that it’s likely true.

I heard people really enjoyed One Piece Odyssey last year. Never seen the series myself.

Oh man, you just reminded me of when I was the only staff member left on my high school newspaper- all the seniors graduated so I had to write the entire issue by myself for the last month of the year. I’d do dumb shit like this all the time XD

Thank you for clarifying- still want to get back in for some Splatoon 1 before the end

Feel that- source: I’m a Like A Dragon fan.

But another reason I tend to binge each game is lack of storage space and rising file sizes. Don’t want to download 100 GB again so better finish it immediately.

Something I’m starting to realize too. Just because I start a game doesn’t mean I need to play it to the credits as soon as possible. I’m the only one fixated on my trophy list or hours played.

Damn that’s heartbreaking. Genesis was not only my first console; the earliest conscious memory I have of my life is playing Sonic 2 with my Mom. I know it’s probably different people at the company making these decisions, but retro SEGA means a lot to me and my journey as a person.

And most Persona games tbh. Just finished Tactica.

Fenneko!

Exactly- though I did trade up my OG PS2 for a slim back in the day. The OG had served its time (~5 years) and was ready to go.

Saw that but these won't work on the new model so I doubt they make more. Unless of course they're for the revision but I don't know how that'd work with the new design.

I'm flashing back to Xbox 360 faceplates.

As a die-hard, I bought it Day 1 and got my $70 worth. But after I 100%'d it and looked at my recently played, I realized the only other game was Chicory which I played around Christmas time…

Yeah, but thankfully I could put those in a cartridge pocket :)

The SSD also goes from 825GB to 1TB

Easily the most comfortable one for your pocket, other than the Micro but that can't play OG GB/GBC games.

You're not wrong. In a year where there are entirely too many great releases on all consoles, I've only played two on my PS5 (Street Fighter 6 & Final Fantasy XVI)
