#dragon quest warrior

Rest in Peace to beloved creator, Akira Toriyama. I just got the news several minutes ago, and I instantly fell into grief. I love this man so much, and all he has done. I may have criticized his work now and then, but it never took away from how much I looked up to him and cared about him.

Dragonball changed my life.

One of my favorite game series, Dragon Quest Monsters, changed my life.

The way he singlehandedly set so much of the ground work for the Shounen world, inspiring many other creators and paving the way for what we have today is unmatched. Now and for many decades, his works will continue to inspire people and change lives. The speeches he has given, thoughts and ideas he's shared, and words of encouragement he's given to so many will stay with me and many others til the end of our lives.

More than anything, I really hope that in his final moments he knew how loved he was by all of us. He fully knew the kind of impact he had, and that hundreds of millions would be grieving for him. Rest in Peace, Akira Toriyama. Wherever you go, may you continue to find happiness.

What even is the mystery of the druids?

The mystery is that when I played Dragon Warrior on NES, this thing now called a "Lunatick" was called a Druin:

And as a kid, I wasn't 100% on letters or memory so when I saw or heard the word "Druid" this is what I pictured. When people told me the druids made Stonehenge or worshiped nature or whatever, I assumed there was a real world version of these things.

No unreality or joke here, I thought that 'til I was like 12.

Started playing the Dragon Quest games on mobile in order! Before doing this, I've only finished one DQ to completion and that was DQ Builders 2 years ago, a big fave. I was so happy while playing DQ2 that it's world was the basis for Builders 2!

TBH I didn't know anything about DQ outside slimes and what I played from Builders. It's been a joy reliving a game series I didn't know had sequels past 1 during the NES days.
