Let me tell you about the first experience I ever had of a traditional JRPG. It was a demo of Legend of Dragoon on a PS1 demo disc. Like a lot of those sorts of games, the game transitions from the field to the battle screen with a whooshing sound and some whiteness slowly washing over the screen while it loads, every time you hit a random encounter. This is very familiar to me now of course, but this would have been the first time I ever saw it. And it just happened that, the first time I ever went into a random encounter, I had just walked over to a waterfall. So my immediate impression of the sound effect and the white all over the screen was that I had somehow fallen into the waterfall. Then the battle started and I no longer had that impression. Thank you for reading.

LAAAAAAVIIIIIIIIIITZ!!!!

#TheLegendOfDragoon

People losing their minds over #Palworld, and here I am, dusting off my #Playstation 4 and playing through #TheLegendOfDragoon while my smartphone is in a rocker to hatch eggs in #PokemonGO.

Do I care that Palworld rips off #Pokémon designs? No. Why should I? Pokémon could use some healthy competition, for Pete’s sake. I think the game looks really neat and hope it’s successful. I also think #GameFreak should take notes.

People who scream “ripoff” all the time need to get over themselves. Why gatekeep a genre? Let others have their fun. Get outta here with that #fanboyism. #Nintendo doesn’t care about you being a Keyboard Warrior.

So why am I not hopping on the #gaming bandwagon and rushing to download Palworld? I’m just not interested in survival games is all. I like #Minecraft once in a blue moon, but that genre just isn’t for me.
