Howdy punchers!- I’m pretty deep into Dragons Quest 7. I am a complete newbie to this series but I am enjoying every moment with this game. The story and characters are surprisingly more interesting than I was expecting after hearing that dragons quest can be a very simplistic series. What are yalls thoughts on the game and series in general and do you have any suggestions or favorites that I should jump to next?

Just pour it on your tongue and and drink a glass of water, goes down quickly and the taste is barely noticeable.

2026-02-09 21:56:24 +0000 UTCgreetings gamers! Now that the Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase happened, what would u give it on an academic scale from F to S. Personally, I thought it was a C. Rebirth coming to switch 2 is HUGE even though it will run like kaka, we got a better look and release date for Orbitals which looks awesome, Turok Origins gotta cool new trailer that sold me on the game, and the console archives sizzle reel caught me by surprise. The potential releases are endless! The anime games and bethesda ports that will def run like kaka didnt impress me; however, someone out there is pumped for Kyoto Xanadu. What yall think? Cheers

2026-02-09 20:50:38 +0000 UTCHey punchers, Micah, it appears you may have unleashed the Dance Gavin Dance fan from your mention last week. Including me. I’m curious, how much are into the band and do you still keep up with them? P.S. I feel like Colin would really love their drummer if he hasn’t checked them out either

As previously rumored, it seems to be more of a PC that’ll play your Xbox library along with being open to the other store fronts. How much would this have to cost to still be appealing to you? Are you excited for it at all or has the Switch 2 become your new go to console? Thanks and keep baking those bread butts.

2026-02-09 17:08:28 +0000 UTCHello Punchers, Did y'all see that Pokemon had commerical during the Super Bowl? I thought it was cool to see that and then later that night I saw a post about how much it costs to run a commerical during the Super Bowl. About $8-10 million for 30 seconds, the commerical was 1:02 so about $16-20 million a minute plus the millions it probably took hire the celebrities and make the commerical. Pokemon literally put in more money into this minute commerical than the $13 million budget for Pokemon Legends Z-A. Thanks, Eleazar

2026-02-09 16:04:16 +0000 UTCWad up foolios! Last week, I performed my last punch. I mentioned this in the Discord, I listened to the previous episode in the ER because I had slipped on black ice and completely snapped my bone. I have surgery on Wednesday and realized that the only controller that’s not as painful to hold is my joycon. Due to this I unwrapped my Final Fantasy Pixel Remastered and played through the first Final Fantasy game, for the first time, ever. Now, I’m on FF2 and I’ve been loving the games so much. The mechanics of the game that came out about 35 years ago is still impressive, and addictive. I put in 20 hours within two days. Mechanics For example, when you perform life steal from an enemy, will actually have negative effects if it’s an undead enemy. It was smart enough to implement that logic condition years in advance of what we have now. I’m just happy that I stumbled upon this game. This led me to purchase a couple of more JPGs. I’m very excited about this part of my gaming journey at age 36. Any 2 JRPGs you recommend for this ol timer that’s finally seen the light? Thank you, and I’ll be listening to you after surgery, high af, can’t wait.

2026-02-09 14:40:33 +0000 UTCHey PUNCHERS, What are the hype levels for The Adventures of Elliot? After the direct this game has jumped to the top of my most anticipated list for 2026, this mix of HD2D style and a more action Zelda like gameplay seems like the perfect recipe! Will you be picking this title up on Switch 2 or a different platform? Thanks as always ya dumb nerds!
