Taking a crack at Maquette, since I’ve been looking for a new puzzle game to play. I may or may not try to finish Persona 5 Strikers (though I have no idea how much is left after the 5th Jail), or I’ll save that for next week.

I love Mythra’s fast attacks, but she's so fast I feel like I'll fall off most stages if I don't practice with her on them first. Pyra's stronger moves feel so satisfying when they connect.

Yes Sakurai showed off the color variants. I haven’t played Xenoblade 2 so I could be wrong about who you're talking about, but if you mean a teal-paletted character whose name starts with P, then yes, they’re referenced (and show up as a spirit on the Spirit Board with new, official art).

I’ve never played a musou game outside of the Age of Calamity demo, but I’m really enjoying this. I’m playing on Normal, and while going into it I thought I’d have to switch to Easy, personally I only felt a difficulty spike on the first boss, where I was having trouble dodging. My main gripe is constantly running out…

I really hope that I’m wrong, but I’m starting to doubt that the twins will have much to do in the finale. On another note, I hope the MCU won’t start handwaving things about Wanda with “because chaos magic,” like The Flash started to do with the Speed Force.

These were my first Pokemon games, so I can’t say I’m not excited. The music alone has me feeling all nostalgic. It looks like they’re still using the Underground, and I remember enjoying the mining mini game.

Apparently some of the characters have so much bronzer it starts to resemble brownface, so, extra yikes.

Well, Persona 5 Strikers just came in the mail today, so never mind to all of that!

Working my way through Final Fantasy XII on Switch. I feel like I’m a bit underleveled (and definitely don’t have enough gil to buy the weapons and armor I want), so I’m doing some grinding (which will hopefully lead to more gamnit slots - I really enjoy the gambit system!).

Yeah, I’m definitely waiting for it to go on sale before deciding to get it. Hopefully Nintendo isn’t too reluctant to drop the price before 3 comes out!

Good to know! I don't have a ton of experience with shooters.

Oh, I enjoyed the Direct for sure. I just got a little rush of unreasonable excitement when Aomuna showed up, even though going into it I wasn't expecting big Zelda news. 

Splatoon 1 and 2 seem a little intimidating to get into as a newcomer, so I might just wait for this lol

I’m happy to wait (especially considering the 35th anniversary coming up), but I won’t say I wasn’t a little disappointed.

I never played the original release, but wasn’t there a left-handed mode? If there’s not, I hope the button controls on this are good.

I’m just now realizing it’s the square root of 1.5, which is clever, but it still feels like they could have made the subtitle shorter by making it sqrt(1.5) or something.

Always good to hear news like this.

When Billy was doing his aside about how Wanda and Vision had been fighting, Tommy was still distracted and in-character but “Pietro” looked at him and went over to interrupt their fight.

Loved that Billy got his classic headband, the sequins on his outfit reminded me of his newer costume as well

I think they mean the Infinite Train arc in Demon Slayer, which has gotten a movie adaptation.
