Welp. This is me now, I guess. I'm one of "them" now. #FML
  • @[email protected] preaching to the choir, my friend.

    My journey started with Daybreak which became my favorite game of all time.

    I only have a Switch, so I could only go back to Zero, which was awesome! I'm now halfway through Azure.

    I'll have to skip CS 1 & 2, but it is what it is. 3 will have to do! Then it'll be on to 4 and Reverie then boom, back to the present with Daybreak 2 and Farewell!

    I'm eating good!

    On my latest album, Here Comes A Feeling, I wrote a special song just for you bloomscrollers out there: "Bloomscrolling"!

    "Our feeds are filled with doom, surround yourself with pretty blooms!"

    God it feels good to be back in the Trails Videogame Universe! After trying a few games (and finishing my new album) only Trails felt right. So Trails to Azure it is!
  • @[email protected]e @[email protected] I've got a whole different problem. We only have Switches. So the Sky trilogy isn't available. Which has been fine.

    BUT....... it also means after Azure, I'll have to skip Cold Steel 1 & 2 and go straight to 3 which, granted, seems to have a soft reboot from 1 & 2, but that's a lot of character & world building I'm going to miss out on.

    Sad Panda.

  • @[email protected] The general consensus is, if you don’t start at the very beginning with the Sky trilogy, then start at a new arc, so Zero or Cold Steel 1 or Daybreak!

    Daybreak is the newest and most modern. I started there and absolutely loved it!!! https://www.reddit.com/r/JRPG/s/KLvQoRuXGE

    I’m on Switch, so my options are limited so went to Zero from there and 💕 and now I’m on Azure which plays like part 2 to Zero.

    This just came out Thursday. Tempted to give it a go before jumping into Trails to Azure, just to give me a small Crossbell break. Seems to be absolutely missed by any reviewers.

    I don’t know. For a game that’s nearly 15 years old, I think it looks pretty damn good.

    Now playing: Beyond Galaxyland! - finally a very sci-fi JRPG with fun takes on the genre (side scrolling and some unique combat mechanics)

    REVIEW: Trails Through Daybreak: My first Trails game and now my favorite game ever!

    REVIEW: Trails Through Daybreak: My first Trails game and now my favorite game ever!

    Last night, after 110 hours, on my five hour flight back from LA from a conference and visiting my oldest daughter, I beat Trails Through Daybreak and WOW. I think this just beat my previous favorite game, Persona 5 Royal.

    Read my whole review here:

    Lovely lazy day on Lac Saint-Charles & checking out an indigenous people’s museum.
  • @[email protected] And, if you are in the US or Canada, it’s a pretty easy trek. Got a little “euro-flare” with all the French too.

  • Lovely lazy day on Lac Saint-Charles & checking out an indigenous people’s museum.
  • @[email protected] won’t regret it. The national parks west and northwest of Quebec City are absolutely stunning.

  • With BlueSky moving towards finally opening up federation, I'm interested in how people feel about it?
  • @ajsadauskas @maegul @fediverse I’ll be honest. I’m ambivalent about Bluesky. If Mastodon et al can talk to them, fine. If not, fine. I’m happy & content with the wonderful people here and if federation gives us access to a few more, that’s fine too.

  • @kvn most proud of? Probaby “I’m in love with you” - a 4 part 15 min epic. Whenever I can pull off a long Yes-length song, I’m so happy. I think I did here!

    And yeah, made my own art! We went to the caverns in Shenandoah last month, I took a photo then illustrated over it!

  • @sentinian @alternativenation Really??? Oh wow! Thank you so much! I just updated my bandcamp today! https://fairyeyelashes.bandcamp.com/

  • @sentinian @alternativenation YISSSS!!! Hope you like it! If not, that's totally okay too. ;)

  • @krzschlss @alternativenation Can’t say I understand downvoting music posts. What’s the point? Ignore and move on.

    Imo, downvoting in this community should be reserved for bad faith users, gatekeepers, assholes, or dicky comments.

    But you liking a band or song that I don’t get into? That’s just music.
