This is the #MetaphorReFantazio Steelbook Edition. It's a Steam code in a box but it costs the same as the digital edition and comes in a nice steelbook with a paper map, which smells good. The steelbook is shiny metal with a printed color layer for the characters, which gives some nice separation 3D effect - hard to see on a photo but it looks really nice. The game is fantastic and hard to put down, been up till 2am 😂 still making my way trough the first dungeon.

:playstation: Interesting - Sony has been using Flickr to host (and "hotlink") images on the official Playstation Blog since 2007. Which seems like a unusual hosting choice for a multinational media conglomerate 🤔

The good news: If you ever need some Playstation game backgrounds, promo images etc. - here are the 54.835 images used on the PS blog since 2007 neatly sorted into albums. There is some cool stuff!

@Gargron Not really all that useful right now. First post from myself, 4 of 20 accounts that I already follow and some popular admin accounts like yours, dansup or stux or very general accounts like Wikipedia. In fact 5 of 20 are instance admins as far as I can tell. Maybe "self" and "already followed" can be filtered somehow?

🎶 This weeks #VgmWednesday theme is #MiddleEasternMelodies and it's a difficult one - the middle east is still somewhat underrepresented in video games.

Frank Herbert's #Dune novels were heavily influenced by middle eastern, islamic culture and language and in the 1991 DOS game soundtrack Stéphane Picq mixed these influences with electronic music, resulting in one of the best game OST of its era.
