Four lifelong friends (and in the case of Seth/Tom, lifelong brothers) who have spent their entire lives evading normie culture capture by mainlining video games. Some of us grew up on the SNES, others the Genesis, and others pissing off their older brother by forcing them to listen to the English voice acting for Tales of Symphonia as they relentlessly replayed it for a month when they weren't even a teenager yet.
But, suffice to say, we all come equipped with varying perspectives and knowledge domains that allow us to yap endlessly about the hobby that has socially stunted us.
Professional gamedev by day, shameless gacha game player by night (and also, day.) Subsists off boomer CRPGs but refuses to play anything in the modern day without controller support.
90s JRPG fanatic whose primarily goal is maxing out his 401k and Roth IRA every year in order to hostilely take over Square Enix to bring them back to Squaresoft.
Incapable of stringing coherent thoughts together in response to lovingly crafted media. Enjoys long walks on Nazjatar. Might come out of the closet in 25 years, in which case you heard it here first.
Reads too much and writes too little. Loves games with philosophically dense narratives whose complexity is conducive to allowing him to masturbate in the shower.
