Retrograde Amnesia: Comprehensive JRPG Retrospective

Our second episode of Infinite Perfect finds the intersection between the bizarro world of film negatives and the fantasy zone of Space Harrier. It's the same place at the same time, and one cannot exist without the other. Ride the cycloptic mammoth through the checkerboard pastal wastes to figure out how in the hell Eric believes all of this must be true.

Why is she trying to sell stuff when she has nothing to sell? Join us as we're (well, Albedo is) abusing a robot child for information, clarifying additional censorship, arguing over if dad can save daughter or if boyfriend can save girlfriend, receiving weapons in email, blowing up vending machines, learning about space graves, wondering if robots can be as illogical as humans, implying Tonyism,...

Are you worthy to shed such tears? Cry with us as we're cackling incessantly, letting Momo out of our sight, wasting vital shuttle transports, arguing about where Momo is, seeing a false daddy, friending a dead sister, blaming Helmer, rebuilding Sakura as a robot, performing a memory hand transfer, experiencing robot depression, defining an uncomfortable anime moment, wondering who has a soul, spe...

My goodness, this feels like a dream. This episode feels like we're welcoming Hyper Assistant Scott, remembering Angels and Elements, flexing while wasted, playing with toys too hard, vibrating the water, shaking off premonitions, preventing gnosis incursion, blooming Luty's flower, sliding down a roof, turning city sectors into people puzzles, presuming cats have innocent souls, getting in the ro...

Well, it looks like we all managed to make it back. Now we're relentlessly drawing a connection to Xenoblade 2, laughing through illusory worlds, existing in the subconscious, fighting energy with energy, vaporizing a gas giant, issuing the many worlds theory, pasting in a picture of space, disarming subconscious domain protection, denying a hug, earning a three-way, crying in a graveyard, giving...

Hello and welcome to Infinite Perfect, a new periodic Retrograde Amnesia podcast series built to assemble the devastating anecdotal happenstance that connects one of the hosts to their favorite games. Our debut episode covers the Sega Saturn's Burning Rangers, a game that is either horrendous to the senses or dazzling to the eyes. It all depends on your point of view.

Joyful memories form only one half of the whole. Form the other half by becoming child soldiers, shooting Udo with machine guns, interpreting blood spatter, living a robot's genetic memory, witnessing Kevin's sacrifice, blowing a head off, returning to sewer, passing through train cars, quoting Revelations, flaming out, extracting soda from mechanical carrots, drawing a false head, finding a commo...

Would you shut up for a second, I'm in the zone right now. Get in your zone as we're speculating Gundam names, shulking to ourselves, requiring only scenario guys, alluding to Udo and Zohar(s), losing nukes, deepfaking a space battle, figuring out how to edit truth video, fetishizing a cyborg knockout, finding strength in gloves, spotting a cop at the craps table, equating thunder to Kevin trauma,...

This place permeates some kind of fondness for the past. Permeate your present by answering trivia questions from a kiosk, vibrating with kinky excitement, learning dream fragments are robot parts, demanding a lady's measurements, introducing new sunglasses guys, equating the Y Data to a McGuffin, lore diving for Simeon and Nephilim, sharing perverse tastes, exposing songs that drive us to madness...

Mom doesn't understand how a man feels. But we feel like revisiting the world map concept, observing the global hum, cranking off, reading the signs of an obvious dungeon, getting high off of explosions, dumpster diving, loading a bar with fuckheads, assigning virtue to Purple Hunchman, understanding King to be a farce, chatting up Pink Bug, extracting the fish detector, engaging in work-related f...

Hey, who's an illegitimate son? Maybe it's us, maybe it's you, maybe we're inserting the Durandal in the bottom hole, wondering of space flower cities are common, as you know'ing to oblivion, finding another palm tattoo guy, A-posing like an asshole, hinting at an anime ability, debating beach anxiety, admiring a soviet pistol, failing to comfort Shion, proposing a chaotic chaos theory, brining a...

Identity diffusion: the eternal dilemma. Diffuse your identity with us as we're wondering if child robots are programmed to hate a biological dad father, running like a big goober, bombing a pick-up line, discovering a gambling-addicted populace, begging for dig-b abuse, stealing signage, considering a fan club, telling Momo that robot fireflies are good actually, entering the Pinocchio zone, and...

Will feeling pain make me complete? Complete your own pain and listen as we're not supplied for a gnosis attack, freaking out on the bridge, dialing up the KOSMOS contemplativeness, talkin' bout momma, scanning transfection course, deciding it's Kevin's hand at work, failing the yearly review, wondering if computer mom has a virus, falling into a hell void, exposing the devil hand, telling our fri...

I alone can take humanity to its next natural state of evolution. Together alone, we're inducing a tilt-shift effect, defining PS2 ladder controls, going to the mall, curing women's diseases with herbs, softening the hardness of mother, running a doomed op, hallucinating wife and child wife, meeting Hamburger Hook, suffering the ultimate sense of peer rejection, getting anime crucified, going Garg...

Why? Why not joins us as we're sleeping in our work clothes, steaming the breath, defining "ghost shit," foreboding ominously, penetrating the space column, spreading the Hilbert Effect to Ultra Wide, estimating our 10K times, staring down a door, honoring goldfish, becoming a brand new person, igniting the forehead glyph, fetishizing the aquarium, adopting a husband, denying a legacy, suggesting...

Are you enjoying life? We're certainly enjoying reading the obvious signs of an apolitical game, inventing more things to haunt Cherenkov, cleaning to impress men, dunking on Allen, hiding the fish detector, threatening members of the military, turning and coughing, weighing ourselves, making it weird in the basement, getting our asses kicked in an alley, activating the forehead glyph, rejecting n...

Pierce me with your hatred. Pierce your ears as we're referencing The Wizard of Oz, activating false memories, introducing a southern belle and a goth princess, making a sword into a spaceship, suspecting Momo's abduction was an inside job, wondering if —they— will come, determining Albedo's whole deal, debating AWGS vs mech, killing the Woglinde again, engaging condition zebra, subchanneling to a...

There is no need to divert more personnel to this location. At our location, we're figuring out if Andrew Cherenkov is a character, performing sick tricks in the space column, skittering off the column wall, avoiding obligations for either a tunnel shooter or a crane game, counting on Allen, recognizing Chaos' interest in souls, misunderstanding Boost, wondering if Hammer and Tony will ever make o...

We have scenarios, so we have to have keys. The keys to this episode include disappointing the real human robot child, wondering where the Y Data is hidden, sealing off space, realizing there is an even higher council, hiding the map from Tony, receiving correspondence from Kazuya, performing the wrath of Jesus, wondering if the UNM lady is a robot, slamming the brakes on a spacecraft, playing har...

Now, where does the real you exist? As we exist, we're applying the rules of characters to our characters, sharing curry instead of a campfire, noting the lack of estrogen as applied to sexist stereotypes, sleeping with food, witnessing Allen go down in flames, crawling with mutants, directing eyeballs, throwing guns all over the bed, rubbing couches for secret items, potentially pulling a Shinji...

Machines like you exist to be used. Machines like us exist to talk about entering the Android Discourse with Margulis and Momo, requiring mommy to take us back to the lab, aborting any reasonable attempt at stealth, burying cult figureheads in child robot brains, merging our cult base with its previous religion, unrealty'ing a mere phenomenon, decoding Pleroma, baptizing our new daughter with her...

It's the same for me. It's just something I can do. What you can do is listen to us talk about double-momming Allen, wondering if Captain Matthews cuts Chris' lawn, seducing Shion with wine, firing 9MM bullets in space, excelling over others in one specific skill, going full Gendo Ikari, hearing Willhem introduce more vocabulary words, introducing another masked man mystery, watching a planet disa...

Let's meet the space junkers. Let's also make sure we're owing money to the Kukai Foundation, presenting as another nerd class, warning others of our addictions via head-based apparel, disrespecting space corpses, expressing interest in space necrophilia, punching a spaceship window, trying to make meaningful contact with someone, shitting in a refrigerator (???), deploying the authority hand, thr...

KOSMOS has the capacity for being sassy. We don't, but we're debating the rules of Gnosis-touching, engaging the Hilbert Effect, cutting sausage goblins, fiddling with the menus, demanding our deaths mean something, wondering of Asimov's laws of robotics apply here, death rattling "Feb," once again seeking god in the machine, typing on the computer while the world ends, wondering when physicality...

The company says we can't free the slaves. While you're in our company, we're pounding human meat into bloody shit, violating privacy agreements, sucking a Gnosis out the airlock, dying like it's our job, moving randomly, citing divine intervention, running around like an idiot, looting a dead man's key, going awol during battle, going down with the ship, faking death to escape death, suffering fu...
