Hello from Rome

I am in Rome. Last week of a six-week trip.

It's been very, very busy here.

I'm not very good at posting on Dreamwidth, or checking it. But it's sort of the last place I can do long-form stuff; Tumblr isn't any good for that if I want actual comments in return, and Twitter is great for engagement but lousy for things that take more than, say, 500 characters to say.

Anyway, I was thinking of doing an all-text LP of Radiant Historia, since a friend recommended that, but I'm not easily able to get screenshots or the like. Maybe 'LP' is too strong a word, since I have no idea what type of game it is beyond JRPG. More like a long list of reaction comments, divvied up by play session. I'd try to include enough context that people could follow along without knowing the game themselves, but it's not, like, 'turn the whole thing into fanfic' as a text LP. Got enough writing to do already.

Would people actually be interested in that? The whole point of LP is to get that feeling of community from other people, after all.

Radiant Historia - Episode 1

Good evening, and welcome to what would be a Let's Play of Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology if I had the patience to do screenshots and the time/brain to do a proper LP. Which I do not! I'm in Rome right now, I have grad school, I have real writing on deadlines I need to do. So this is more of a livetweet of my playing. Except on DW.

As one does.

Responsibility for this game choice goes to mattbowyer, though I can't remember in what context it was suggested. Suffice to say, I like his LPs enough that it seemed like a good idea to try out a JRPG he'd enjoyed before.

I've put the cartridge in. I remember no info I've acquired about this game beyond "JRPG recommended by a friend" and "this is a remake for the 3DS" and "time travel, maybe?" so let's see how it goes!
