I'm switching tactics next year and creating a schedule on twitch!
Over the last few years I've amassed a lot of games I want to cover *and* play, so I'm changing up some things😀

I'll tell you all about it in the first stream on New Years Day!

2024 is going to be an adventure!

@theWellRedMage And that's why I hunted down a loose copy 😀

@theWellRedMage If the creators of the game tie its existence to a live service that costs money to keep running, then they've made that decision for us unfortunately.

@GoatedQuest It's so interesting that the rental market for additional sales was worth adding difficulty to the game.

I'd be worried that I'd turn away part of the player base with the added challenges and removed features - luckily for Capcom they were creating a new genre with this game 😀

@Quest64Official Thanks for the tip on the battle tutorial. Can't wait!

[What Game Before @WhatGameBefore]

Found a game that's been on the list for a few years today.
The trailer shows absolute chaos in the battle system with fast moves, melee and gun play - it sounds amazing!

If you've played it, how much fun am I about to have? 😀

[What Game Before @WhatGameBefore]

@16bitnostalgia Challenging platform fun 😀

[What Game Before @WhatGameBefore]

I forgot to mention the game in case you can't see the picture!

Its Resonance of Fate.

I'm also working on a side project with a small group so we'll be talking about that more very soon.

Thank you to everyone who came and hung out in my streams this year - you were seen and it was a blast having you there!

Sometimes we fall down and need to get back up 🫶

I've not been here for a while and I owe y'all an update.

I stopped streaming in April abruptly due to coming off my bike in a storm. I did get a radial fracture in my elbow and had 6 weeks of physical therapy to make sure it healed fully.

I've taken that break (no pun intended) to think about my stream format and decided to hold on coming back. I really want to get back to YouTube content so you will see new content there and maybe a livestream or two on YT vs Twitch.

@theWellRedMage A 9? Ouch! Sounds like a reason to bust out this bad boy and give it a shot!

[What Game Before @WhatGameBefore]

@GamingMitch1990 Valkiria has such a unique and cool looking style - it's a little easier to spot sometimes 😀

[What Game Before @WhatGameBefore]

@GamingMitch1990 Looks like it's maybe Valkiria Chronicles?

@myretrolifeshow Pure, focused gaming experience.

[What Game Before @WhatGameBefore]

@SharkaBytes Let's go! Can't wait to see it 😀

[What Game Before @WhatGameBefore]

@mattatronics @ElectronicEggs Every time 😀

[What Game Before @WhatGameBefore]

Agreed - don't sleep on this turn based strategy powerhouse!

[What Game Before @WhatGameBefore]

@AshTalksGames Sounds like they'd have been better off calling it by a whole new name and not messing with the franchise 😬

[What Game Before @WhatGameBefore]

@AshTalksGames That too bad. ☹️ I've not had a chance to play MK1 - where do you think it changed?
