Started replaying Dragon Age 2 after beating Origins and a mess of DLCs for that game. Had a moment of "Why did I hate that emo elf guy last time I played? He seems pretty cool. Oh that's why I hated him..." as soon as I recruited him.

seeing a lot of posts today billing Itsuno as "the Devil May Cry and Dragon's Dogma Guy" which kind of sells his career short. this video below gives some pretty good insight into the scale of his influence

Crypt Custodian rules. It's a combat-focused isometric metroidvania made by the one-man development team behind Islets and Sheepo, which are also both very good. This is his best game to date, and I'd say it's a must play for any fans of isometric action games like Bastion, Hyper Light Drifter, Unsighted, and especially Death's Door. What Crypt Custodian has on all of these games, even absolute classics like Bastion, is the feel of the combat. Movement feels so good in this game. I love how you get both a jump and a dodge, and both can be used to avoid strikes and projectiles. I like its approach to the "charm" system. This feature, a stock standard in indie action games today in which you have a wide selection of unique doodads to equip for bonuses and abilities, but you're limited on the number you can equip, either by total slots or a total charm "value" (like Hollow Knight). Crypt Custodian's is exactly like Hollow Knight's, except you can buy additional slots/points, for cheap, and with no limit. If you want to grind the cash and put in the time, you can eventually equip every charm at the same time. It's fun. I'd say the game is player friendly like that just in general. Some tough bosses, a couple bullet hell sequences, but generally much more chill than this genre tends to be (on Normal difficulty). It's just a good time.
Game completion time: 14 hr, 85% completion.
Here's a trailer. I really can't recommend it enough.

I just finished off the Super Mario RPG remake. Having never finished the original since it was always a copy I rented it was nice to finally do so. Overall a pretty well done remaster as with most Nintendo stuff, definitely some quality of life improvements and just a fun little ride. Now to sell my copy

Beat Dragon Age 2 and started in on Inquisition. Hate Solas so much. Last time he tricked me into thinking he was chill until the endgame but I know his lore now so most of the time I'm just hating him and seeing if there are any clues to his true identity that I missed because why would I have guessed he was a god and not just an elf supremacist wizard that looked like Ian MacKaye.
