Got my Play Asia order on Monday that had shipped on May 29. So something like 16 days or so. Seems about normal.

And Heist is a really cool take on turn-based tactics with neat ricochet mechanics. And hats.

I found some at my local shop, but they're in tight with a bigger distributor. As he was selling stuff while I was there, he got three more cars in stock. Supposedly they're going to run this series for quite some time as long as it sells. So as long as you're not after the collector's packs...

There are blitzball cards, yes. I'm too out of touch with the children to know the reference. Also, blitzball sucks. Worst part of FFX.

No, nothing requires the Anniversary updates, IIRC. I played modded Special Edition recently until I got bored again... I wish I could beat it. Enjoy.

Obviously. I have a physical game collection over 800 titles on 20 systems and a Steam library over 2000 games with a gaming PC, Valve Index, and Steam Deck. I like all of those. We're not talking about them. Turns out a lot of new stuff is overpriced and worthy of criticism. Odd, that...

Yea, you're not buying a walled garden when you get a PC handheld. It's a gaming laptop in a handheld form factor. The Steam Deck could emulate Switch 1 games, some running better than on the Switch, IIRC. I think $900 for a glorified laptop crammed in a different shell is dumb. I only got...

Speaking of FOMO, I bought some FF MTG cards today. I haven't done that in over 20 years. Was fun and the cards look great, but man, it's expensive. Seventy bucks for a collector's booster? I guess old man me wants my $2.85 booster packs from yore. Neat set to collect. Won't play it, but...

Mini Switch Console when?

I gotta turn on an Xbox? That'll take me back...

I wish the G Cloud was better priced. It's woefully underpowered in comparison to it's nearest competitor. If you were buying it at retail, I would say the AYN ODIN 2 would be the best bet. It's very ergonomic, unlike a Retroid Device. If you want to play PS2 era games, then an RP5 would be...

How does one get a free code? I'm pretty sure I've bought Gears a plenty in the past.

Subscriptions, more so ones with unique or day one content, are inherently unsustainable. Add in the profit motive and the fiduciary requirement for the line to go up, and you get a service that will get worse and cost more over time. Wait until they figure out how to create a tier with ads...

Microsoft treating Sony customers better than their own. Odd times.

GamePass on Switch when?

Funniest headline for this thread. GameStop CEO Says The Company's Future Isn't In Games Pack it in, folks. It's Pokemon cards all the way down now!

I got about 40 demos in this week, so I will post a wrap-up tomorrow sometime. Still a lot more to try, and I haven't even got to the bigger name ones yet.

As an aside, I really love this YouTube channel as it actually goes into the history of Japanese entertainment. This one is slightly on topic, answering "Why Do So Many Gacha Games Pretend to be Japanese?" They set contextual basis on significant historical background of contemporary Asian and...
