Doesn’t have to be realistic or rumored. Me, I would love a new offline Phantasy Star, but who knows if we’ll ever get that since Sega has been radio-silent on those revivals they teased a few years ago.  What we’re playing: Mary: Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, Hades 2, Silksong John: Mina the Hollower, The Last Remnant RemasteredGreg: Marvel Rivals random Switch 1 games Brett L: Adventures of Elliot demo (beat), Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, 007 First LightBrett M: 07 First Light, Spider-Man

I think that usually when I put a game down like that, I don't come back to it. Do you have any success stories of returning to a game like this? (In this case, I felt like I had to finish it before I started playing 7. Idk if I would've gotten back to it if not for that)Jtlawbass: Has a game ever inspired you to do something outside of gaming? For example, last year Clair Obscur made me want to learn French, (I never did because I got too busy.) and this year Forza Horizon 6 makes me want to buy a fast car, (I probably won’t.) but that made me curious about if that has ever happened to anyone else.What we’re playing: Mary: Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, Hades 2, Silksong John: The Last Remnant RemasteredGreg: Marvel Rivals random Switch 1 games Brett L: Adventures of Elliot demo (beat), Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, 007 First LightBrett M: Ghost of Yotei (beat) Stellar Blade (beat) 007 First Light
