Let’s not imagine things. It’s not good for your heart. What’s real is spilling beverages on podcast equipment, identifying 2018 lyrics in a 1998 song, appreciating Bart carrying plot points across time, squirting, collecting different shaded rocks, encountering Shevat’s assemblage of ragtag rebels, parlaying with Chu-Chu’s, turning yesterday’s tears into tomorrow’s smiles, receiving all of the lore at Shevat Palace, blending our fake religion with Xenogears’ real legends, getting gaslit by Yui, and meeting a 5x centenarian. The best part of this game can only happen if you have Bart with you.
