Kingdom Hearts III is here. I never thought I’d actually say that, but it’s actually, finally here.
The gaming landscape has changed a lot since the last major Kingdom Hearts game (2.8 doesn’t count in my book). With more beloved franchises being reduced to shallow grindfests made not for people to enjoy and lose themselves in, but to extract as much cash as possible, KH3 feels like something that shouldn’t exist in this timeline. I feel like it came from some alternate dimension where the major game industry charted a different course, with no lootboxes or any microtransactions to be found.
I’ve already mentioned this in another C-Blog a while back, but here’s a list of events that’ve occured in my life in the roughly 13 years since I got Kingdom Hearts II.
-I joined the furry fandom.
-Completed college thrice over.
-Shifted from primarily playing console games to PC games.
-Moved to a whole other state.
-Added Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time, Undertale and Mother 3 to my list of all-time favorite games.
-Briefly wrote for another gaming website for a couple years.
-Attended my first convention, which was something I wanted to do for years.
-Pivoted hard from playing games primarily on console to PC.
-Got my first car, drove it ‘till it broke down before getting my next car.
-Lost my grandma and the dogs my family’s had since I was little all in the span of about a year.
-Got a tech certification and bounced around a couple IT jobs.
-Played four generations of Pokemon and three Smash Bros games.
-Witnessed one of my favorite Nintendo franchises rise back to prominence for the first time in a decade, only to watch it crash and burn because of Nintendo.
-Made several friends across all of this who I still think of fondly, even if I'm terrible at keeping in touch.
I can probably think of more stuff that's happened, but I don't wanna waste any more time. So let's get right into the C-Blogs you all wrote this week!
T - Sharukurusu shares his list of games he played last year.
