If you haven’t played any Mario & Luigi games and Brothership sounds too long, I think you can’t go wrong with Superstar Saga on GBA NSO. It’s lean and mean. I prefer it to Paper Mario.

Highly recommend the Sony XM4s Gene, some of the best headphones I have ever owned. Great sound and noise cancellation, very comfortable

The Pokemon game Micah played is either X or Y. Her starter was Fennekin, the fire fox. It’s final evolution, Delphox, is Fire/Psychic and kinda looks like a witch. 😅

As a gamer i feel that OSTs are super important to the gameplay of a game. Blasphemous series, Octopath series, Messenger, Deaths Door and even a game like Narita Boy are all games that are elevated by their soundtracks. Pokémon Arceus is one of those games. When i heard the song “The Heartwood” while playing Arceus it instantly became a special game for me. It just added to the chill vibe to the game and I am looking forward to how they can improve on this series in ZA.

I’m a massive Pokemon fan, played every game multiple times and even have a tattoo of a poke ball on my ankle. I played the shit out of LA when it came out, beat the main game only to realise I had to capture every Pokemon in the game to unlock the real ending, at which point I said no i’m out, I went back to play LA twice since then and I can’t get more than a few hours into it… I personally think it is horrible now, from how it runs, to the over-world, to the repetitive quests, etc. Scarlet / Violet, despite their horrific performances, are miles clear for me, even though I have huge issues with the games, they just made the world so much more interesting to explore even if it had a lack of landmarks, explorable towns / cities, etc.

I beat Brothership, and that game may have the worst pacing in a video game that I have played in decades. This game should’ve been 20 hours. The padding at the end got too ridiculous.

Micah, look into open-back headphones. You can hear yourself while you talk and it’s much less disorienting than typical closed-back headphones.

Hey Gene, there actually is a Witcher spinoff game. It’s called Thronebreaker and it’s quite good, definitely worth checking out
