I'm playing XBC2 and it's been like 50 years since I've played a jrpg so can someone explain to me why every loving boss fight I kick their dumb anime asses and then the cutscene afterwards is me getting my dumb anime rear end kicked??

new years resolutions:
actually enter the 7DRL challenge this year despite saying I will for the past 5 years
make some scratch with photography
fix my lovely, expensive teeth
passive aggressively get more people I know to play board games

It was probably the worst year of my life but wow those were some good video games

2017 was just another year. maybe i'm just jaded. 2014 was my awfulest year but after the first one dies the rest are like "well someone else goes every year now. happy deathday boyz :guinness:"

My grandma died in 2017 and it was coming from a long way off (tbh my mom and me expected it like half a decade ago) but it's still super lovely. :( Also the world at large.

But as sucky as the last couple of years have been in general we've had some stupidly good gaming. If 2018 keeps up the pace we could sincerely start talking about a new golden age like 1997-2002.

Just tell yourself the Xenoblade 2 boss fights take place in a parallel dimension.

I've been telling myself the battles aren't even the same people as the cutscenes, it's just rex daydreaming about playing video games and then startling awake mid-asskicking

i hope in 2019 they spend 20 hours doing more of this instead of recording themselves yelling at each other, and maybe between songs someone can lean into the mic and announce "I thought mario was a pretty good game this year"
