Found this lying around:

Conversation with my ex:

"I remember those games with jetpacks. There was that Nintendo guy...Metroman."

"I think you mean Megaman...or maybe Metroid?"

"Yeah. Did they have jetpacks?"

"Not really."

"What about Transylvania? Did he have a jetpack?"

"I think...you're thinking of Castlevania. And his name wasn't Castlevania."

"What was it?"

"I can't remember."

"It was Metroman. That must be what I'm thinking of."

The Gracemeria-Estovakia storyline in Fires of Liberation is probably tangential at best anyway for the run-up to Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown.

Shattered Skies gives you the backstory for Erusea and the geopolitical situation on the Usean continent. Unsung War frames up Osea as the world's superpower and shows why declaring war on them would be catastrophic. (On this front, the Ace Combat 3DS game would be more helpful since that chronicles the first Osean intervention into Usea.) And Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War will probably be important because when it comes to evil conspiracies in Strangereal, the answer is usually Belka did it

The video from E3 a year (two years?) ago of the gameplay demo of AC7 where they spent like a third of it saying Look how nice these clouds look, and how fun it is to fly through them made me track down the entire series.

Chrono Trigger and Earthbound were both $80 I think? Accounting for inflation that would be more like $130 today

70€ because new PS4 games just cost that much digitally. Not gonna bother from now on even if physical shipping is slow though because it's just too much for a game

i spent $70 on the first world of warcraft expansion because all my college friends at the time were huge world of warcraft fans and were all telling me to buy it and they'd powerlevel me and we'd all have an awesome time


i played with one of them once, and by myself a few times more over the first week, then never touched it again, canceling my subscription before the free month was up. it was an incredibly stupid decision on my part.
