whatchu playing now

sup gamerz

i haven't played video games in just about 15 years

yesterday i downloaded Suikoden II on my roommates' ps3, and i'm now a few hours into it

really beautiful game, super dynamic for an rpg. fantastic music

WELCOME BACK

thats a classic, welcome back

thx yall, feels good :)

you're like the legendary ancient gamer who returns

you don't just casually "return" and then immediately choose suikoden II

i haven't even played suikoden II and i know it rules

haha it was totally spontaneous that i happend on suikoden. my roommate downloaded bushido blade and i googled 'best ps1 games' and it was like #25 on the list but was written by a die-hard stan and captured my imagination

i understand, but at the same time most people coming back to videogames after an extended absence are like "did super mario world 2 ever come out?" and get really confused when you mention that yes, it did come out in the form of yoshi's island. suikoden II is on a different level

take it from me, someone who has talked to literally hundreds of people about this

new coronavirus goal: try to point out every instance of total bullshit whenever it spews from my fingers

My friend code is SW-3365-8800-1422 tho I mostly only use the Switch for Overcooked / Untitled Goose Game with Jen, or lately Murder By Numbers

Suikoden II does indeed rule, though.

that reminds me i've never played the grandia games and i think they're on switch. should get around to that sometime

ill add the 3 friend codes i see above, and also heres me 4459-4028-5502

i am sw-1126-4943-0808

I'm finally playing Hyper Light Drifter and I like it a lot, but oboy I didn't realize how hard it was going to be. For some reason I thought it was more of a chilled-out arty Zeldalike.

Why the heck not: SW-4901-5645-7893. I have basically no online multi games, tho I'm thinking about maybe getting Risk of Rain 2 while it's on sale?

I gotta add you! Completing a life goal to befriend someone with the same initials (Zadie Smith won’t return my faxes)

my initials are ZA...sorry to disappoint :(

Are you...Zack Snyder??

mine is sw-2991-6325-1220, my user name is karl, preemptive apologies for any confusion with the preeminent karl, malone

Zack Snyder is also on my shit list after failing to return several letters.

do you write for rolling stone? what do the letters mean?!!?

(you don't have to reveal, but i am curious :)

no worries karl, i think I'm "Zach" on the switch anyway

adding you in a second!

is everyone playing this game named zach/zack or karl?!

The letters are my first and last name minus all vowels except for Y. It's not that interesting. I first used it as a tumblr handle years back and it's become my default go-to because I hate trying to think of a clever handle.

is everyone playing this game named zach/zack or karl?!

one of us, one of us, one of us

yeah i've uncreatively been using my initials as a handle since the early 00s, don't remember how i ended up with this name instead on ilx

your initials mean something else on ilx tho

and online in general, but i think my use of them predates that

added a bunch of zachs, my island is not ready for visitors yet though

same. underconstruction.gif

i read about a partial solution to the iron nugget scarcity problem - i can just buy a ticket to another island and exploit other resources

Stop it you all are making me kind of want to get a Switch or something.

change your legal name, buy a switch and get over here imo

I’d buy a switch if i could get one! But instead I’m on a stock watcher mailing list.

It could do with a system so that I could distinguish my Zachs from my Karls, I'll tell you that for nothing.

My avatar has a black bg, a mustache on his forehead, and he’s peeling around the corner like a weirdo

Peeking

both zachs i added have a peeking around the corner like a weirdo avatar

probably just a thing zachs do

oh sorry i was looking at someone else for the second one. i recant my zach opinions

my icon is blathers, chosen before I knew who blathers was tbh

wait...where is this other peeking zach

i want to peek at them

karl i recognized your avatar as soon as i saw it! me and blathers are tight right now, due to my recent efforts opening up something...(don't want to reveal it now, but it's big!)

the other one was not a zach sorry for the mislead

zchyrs will you also peek? I will give you pears

zchrys I’ve decided your name is Zach Yaris hope that’s ok

i've always read it as zach years

p sure it’s Zachy Rose guys

zochi yarosi

I'm not peeking, but I am staring with weirdo bug-eyes in my avatar. What's up, y'all
