Man, it hurts every time I have to cut off an awesome song in one of these Shorts. Check out Solitaire from the OST for the full thing, it’s a jam (or better yet, play the game and listen there.)

Anyway, Kingsway. One of the games I’ve wanted to try ever since I saw Vinny (Vinesauce) stream it a ways back. Unfortunately, at the time, my PC was a toaster and so that had to wait. But now that I’ve gotten an actual computer, I’m able to check it out.

It’s a good time. And man, how did I not remember the soundtrack? Excellent tunes, all around.

But yeah, thought it’d make for a good video since it’s cool how many interesting ideas can come from a simple thought of “What if RPG, but an OS?” That whole “Function Following Form” thing.

Anyway, think that’ll do it for this week. If you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna get back to listening to “stella” (the new OP for Star Ocean: Second Story R) on repeat.

Thanks, as always for stopping by! And till next time, take care out there!
