JRPGtitles are known for dipping into the romance genre. Sometimes this can mean multiple routes for the player to choose from as they get to know the different characters in the game. Other times, you don’t get a choice as to who you end up with, but the narrative is well crafted and gives the canon couple all the attention they need to feel real. Romance in JRPGs has so much variation to it that, at times, it almost feels like you’re having an impact on how a group dynamic changes throughout the narrative....

Well, mostly. Higgs using an electric guitar as a weapon doesn’t get an explanation....

These Are Ways DMs Can Cheat In D&D Without Getting Caught

Dungeons & Dragonsis a fair game, right? You make your character, roll the dice, add your bonuses, and it is what it is - at least, in theory. However, one player at the table, the Dungeon Master, plays the role of judge and arbiter and dictates the rules, among other things. What if they cheat, though?

Video Game Consoles I Wish I Had In My Childhood, Ranked By How Sad I Am That I Did Not

Moved around a lot, had a weird upbringing in all sorts of ways, and definitely didn’t have the sort of household that’d get me access to most available game consoles.
