Kingdom Hearts had a big D23. Two major announcements dropped that paint a picture of Square Enix and Disney treating this franchise as something considerably larger than just the next game in a long-running JRPG series – and if you have been waiting patiently for Kingdom Hearts 4 since it was first revealed back in 2022, the wait now has an end date.

As a PC gamer and also just a nerd in general, I'm finding myself investing more and more into getting my whole desk setup to look as cool as possible.
