The biggest thing I learned for myself in the first hours was just to not worry about dying or looking dumb, but just to test the limits of everything. See how far you can fall and roll, try to whip everything, try to grapple everything. Try and just chill in a room with the guardian who’s chasing you and learn how…

You can easily finish get a relic from the first temple in 15 minutes so there’s not much of a time commitment to it. The further you go takes longer, but it’s not an hours long thing by any stretch. Plus it’s nice that you can easily leave it paused for 30 minutes since it’s asynchronous multiplayer. Once you’re in,…

Oh dang, I thought it was on Switch already.

Ikenfell has been taking most of my time lately and I’m thinking this weekend could be just enough time to wrap it up. The music is awesome, 16 bit graphics are cool, the battle system is unique-ish, and the save points are cats! I like that the battles use a grid based positional system that also uses timing to…

Okay, so everyone here is misunderstanding the situation, which is understandable because I also had to re-read the article to get it. He wasn’t in the position of a guaranteed win, just a good opportunity for one, and went to go for a throw but,

Still clearing my backlog and finally just got around to starting Transistor for the third time, but this time I’m going to stick with it. It’s been a good ride so far and I’m not going to let myself fall off after the first hour again.

I went from YUUSS to nooooo when I saw that Wreckfest was PS5 only. 

I’ve long been at that tipping point of just throwing in the towel on the whole thing too, but I have such a big library of games and there are so many good deals to be had. My most recent one was an ambient sound resetting bug in Dark Souls III. There just doesn’t seem to be a fix for my hardware configuration and it…

For the first time in years I’m actually following through on my commitment to not buy anything new and just playing from my backlog of games. I have so many that I paid good money for and haven’t even touched! It’s been a really good decision so far and I just want to stick with it for as long as I can keep my eyes…

I’m constantly starting and stopping that game. It will forever be in my backlog and never really my “now” game.

“Damn them! What could those pesky Anti-Fascists possibly have against me? They oppose me at every turn!”

It’s just lawyers trying to justify a reason for their paychecks.

Well, you did it. You got me to softly sing it to myself at my desk.

That’s really good to hear, I was super into Dreams at the beginning and kept jumping back in at each major update but kept finding it difficult to locate the best creations I was interested in. That sort of dampened my own enthusiasm for creation because it felt like no one would ever play anything I made, no matter…

I really liked Banished until it seemed like after 30 hours or so all my villagers just drank stupid-juice or something. Any new homes I built would immediately be occupied by the oldest citizens, leaving none for the young people, causing the population to just plummet while I ran out of resources. This would happen…

They could really go either way on this. On one hand it’s weird to pull off and isn’t hurting anything, and on the other hand they sometimes patch things because screw your good time. However, if they cared about glitches and stuff they would’ve patched out stasis bounces. 

Oh man, I was also about to buy the BinBoks when they sold out. Thanks to Wulff Den for talking them up on his channel, but potentially also leading to a run on their inventory.

I know someone will end up doing something good with this, but yeah, all of those examples were just so much worse than the originals.

There were so many times I very nearly bought it over the past year. 

Finishing up Paper Mario: the Origami King and really looking forward to seeing what’s coming up since I’ve loved almost every minute. Then I’m weirdly excited about going back to get 100% of collectibles and hidden Toads and such.
