    @apollo I love how getting the mech totally transforms your relationship with the world… then getting the flight module transforms it again. and it was already cool on foot!

    @tom absolutely! I had only played the late game in the past few years, so having the constraints of playing the start of the game gave me so much appreciation for those shifts in scope. This was already my favorite game but playing it again has been satisfying in ways I didn't anticipate.

  • After 45 hours playing Xenoblade Chronicles X I finally unlocked the flight module in the game. I enjoyed those first 45 hours immensely, but there is such wonder and joy in this game once the mechs can fly.

  • Ten years ago I was passing through Haneda Airport in Japan and spotted this odd robot mural in a store.

  • I walked with Celestine along the triangle that connects the three playgrounds nearest to our home. We encountered magnolias, grape hyacinths, Pikachu, and basketball.

  • At the base of the stairs leading up to Halifax's Old Town Clock is a mural depicting the design of the clock. Altruistic Current facilitated the painting. This segment is my favorite and seeing the top of the clock tower behind it at this angle made me want to capture a shot through the guardrail.

  • I played through the first round of map 2 in Koala Rescue Club this week. The rolls didn't go that great for me, and it feels like I'm off to a slow start, but it's fun.

  • The latest episode of Silence! covers Ex-Mutants #3 (Vol. 2). I had the first issue of the series growing up and I'm glad I didn't miss the story getting better in subsequent issues of this weird, slapdash comic. Good to know butts remained a focus, though. That might be worth hunting down issues to experience, at least.

  • After more than a year, it's nice to hear a new track from Ian Penn.
