Cognition Dissemination: Aria of the Solar Eclipse
I wonder why I’ve been thinking about Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow recently.

Fighting Games Friday: …in Waffle House!?
The meme could become a reality in Tekken, for understandable reasons. But emphasize “could.”

Exactly 30 years ago today, Final Fantasy VI was released on the SNES in Japan. It is one of the greatest Final Fantasy games to ever be developed, and is a personal favorite of ours on the blog.

Our retrospective post won't be ready until tomorrow.

While you're waiting, check out our 2011 review: https://www.dcgameblog.com/2011/01/final_fantasy_vi_-_read_this/

The final part of our livestream of Supernerdyguy's Short Adventure demo is now live on YouTube. We complete the remainder of the bonus content in the demo. We get a feel for the characters who will be in the main game. A huge thank you again to Nerdy!

Castlevania: Dead and Not-Hating It
Though, of course, not quite “Loving” it. Spiritual successors exist, at least.

First we're playing more Short Adventure. Then good news is we're returning to Final Fantasy IV. The bad news is that it's The After Years. Maybe this game is better than we thought?

Our one shot livestream of Gargoyle's Quest 2 is now on YouTube. Despite a tough journey, our gargoyle's quest is quite successful. We take down the final boss and save the day.

Looking through old blog posts/etc per "alternatives to dot com / not AI-tied," my thoughts:

  • free blogs/sites: there aren't any good options I can think of.
  • if paying WP: SiteGround is one decent managed WP option (ie webhost that does most of the tech stuff) last I checked.

@dtgeek Lots of people on the Fediverse have mentioned Neocities. Also, is Pillowfort still a Tumblr alternative?

Part 1 of our livestream of Supernerdyguy's Short Adventure Demo is now on YouTube. We had a lot of fun with this game. It's an indie RPG made in RPGMaker and has a battle system inspired by earlier Final Fantasy games. Give Nerdy a follow too!

We hear Aggelos is a Metroidvania that plays closer to Super Adventure Island II. Will we have to cheese our way through this game?

The stream is over. We made some progress in Final Fantasy IV: The After Years. Tomorrow we'll play and maybe finish Aggelos at 8 ET. For now we've kept the party going by raiding Kealldin who's playing Songs of Syx. Check him out!

Part 2 of our Aggelos livestream is now on YouTube. We fight hard to make progress is this cute and deadly game. As we continue to gain levels and find new equipment, things go from hard to brutal when a rift in reality releases demons into the world!

Change of plans for early this week. Monday night's Aggelos livestream is being pushed back to Wednesday night. We'll have an article for you to read instead.

Also, Wednesday is Snowy's birthday. He's a cool cat and you should stop by to wish him a happy birthday. No promises he'll appear on camera.

Also, we have a new follower goal on Twitch. When we make it to 200 followers, @silver_huskey will livestream Comix Zone for us. It's a Sega game that's as 90s as it gets.

And yes, the goods do exist.
