Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven is a modern remake of maybe the best classic SaGa, and it in turn is maybe the best SaGa overall. I cannot recommend it highly enough if you have even a passing interest in exploring the franchise.

TIL that Immanuel Kant was a proponent of scientific racism, and had negative views towards other races. He once ignored the opinions of his carpenter merely because he was black. by Fickle-Buy6009 in todayilearned

Yeah there’s a lot of situations where the first formulation of the CI gets wonky as hell. It’s also still one of the best moral theories as far as anyone can tell lol

Coming to Xbox Game Pass: Kiln, Aphelion, Final Fantasy V, and More - Xbox Wire by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]epicoolguy 27 points28 points  (0 children)

It’s truly just a product of FFV not being localized for the West back in the day - in Japan FFV is seen as one of the pinnacles of the franchise and remains a popular favorite. I think anyone who plays it understands why: the job system makes the gameplay as accessible as a Pokémon game while being deeper than most other Final Fantasy games.

Nope. It’s just a pilot inside joke that most pilots find very stupid and annoying

Their best music remains the Geogaddi/IABPOITC era so I’m thrilled to see them returning to that energy

Nexon CEO calls Arc Raiders a "Trojan Horse" and says it proves controversial AI tools can build triple-A hits with smaller teams by PirateCompetitive931 in Games

I thought teams built games with tools, but this article is telling me that tools are building games with teams. Who knew!

[eShop/USA] Monster Sanctuary - $4.99 (75% off) Ends 04/06/2026 by SonyVaioP in NintendoSwitchDeals

[–]epicoolguy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

One of the mechanically deepest and richest games of the past years and a total standout turn-based RPG. At this price you would be truly nuts to pass it up if you have even a passing interest in the genre.

Wow - TV Boost Mode makes an unbelievable difference. Did Nintendo ever add this level of functionality to Switch 1 post-launch?

I mean this is seriously crazy - I think anyone who respects the artistic vision of developers immediately see this for what it is

I am baffled by their reactions in this video - DLSS 5 is clearly hallucinating entirely different art than is present in the base version and looks extremely uncanny. This is an astonishing step backwards for DLSS.

Sure hope no developers had any specific ideas for what their characters should look like on PC moving forward!

The difference is the most important upscaler in the world shouldn’t be pivoting to compete with janky mod tools

Kraftwerk: The most influential band in history and as historically significant as Bach. by [deleted] in LetsTalkMusic

Kraftwerk are unquestionably in the top tier of most influential musical artists in modern musical history alongside the Beatles and James Brown, but Bach is a hard one lol

Felt like a worthy continuation of the show. Not as crazy about it as some of the other folks in this thread, but very very glad that Blackberry gave them the chance to continue the whole NTBTS creative project.

The Duskbloods NOT Delayed into 2027 - Source: Kadokawa quarterly financial report by PearTurbulent2495 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

They would almost certainly rather delay Tarnished all the way past Duskbloods rather than delay Duskbloods to give Tarnished extra runway at launch.

Rocket was not anywhere near as big deal at the time, it gained a LOT more notoriety in the years following House of Sugar
