I really wish Nintendo made it easier to do the whole “Hey I own a Switch and a Switch Lite, lemme share the games across both” thing. I’ve had a Switch Lite for a week now that hasn’t left its box because I’m still trying to sort out the account restrictions and what I can and can’t do between the devices.

I’ve been taking a while to work on this Super Mario Maker 2 course- I had a very specific, esoteric theme in mind that was difficult to translate to the form of a Mario level, but I finally got to a point where I was happy with it. I now give you (with respect to the uploader character limit), “We’re All Bowsers on…

I am a mere two chapters into Yakuza 5 and it is already possible that it has supplanted Final Fantasy IX as my favorite game of all time. I am the fastest taxi driver in Osaka and have bested a man-eating bear in hand to hand combat. This thing rules.

UFC 3 was on sale in the PlayStation store this week despite not liking or following UFC at all, I really like this game. It’s just fun to punch the shit out of people but with less of the combo stuff in a traditional arcade fighting game. The career mode has some problems, getting put into an arm bar is almost…

Sure, you could be spending your quarantine months playing through Pathologic 2 or That Dragon, Cancer (and more power to you if you are)

Well, this week, I’ve been playing something mentioned in the article. That is to say remote Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition via Roll20. Just the one session in our ongoing campaign, which our (first-time) DM has named “Capitol Gains,” it was our third session stuck in a disused mansion/prison.

We bought me a ps4 last week (with both of us suddenly home all day, sharing one with the husband unit was no longer viable) and that was way more difficult to find than the Switch, here in New Mexico. I saw Switch Lites three different places before I finally found a playstation pro. Strangely enough, they were all…

I’ve definitely been playing to avoid going nuts for quite a while now. This very week I had my first experience with Jackbox Party Pack, and completely loved it. The phone-control idea is genius, and all the games that we tried went down really well. We had four people playing remotely, and after we got past a few…

Warframe. Always Warframe.

Board Games

Salutations~!

You know, as much as the Disney theming largely made me think “probably a Candyland-level low-complexity game,” the Villainous box is attractive. I’ve eyed it every time I’ve passed it at Target or, more recently, in Amazon board game searches. I hadn’t quite put the minimal effort into looking up the core mechanics…

Before I get into video game things this week, how about some board games since it fits in with the theme. Specifically Kenny G’s Keepin It Saxy. It’s an interesting little cooperative game that pits you and 2 to 4 other players against several bad things that can ruin Kenny G’s groove. Draw cards that represent bad…

Since I started working from home last month, I’ve watched a lot of miniature painting tutorials while working and either through being thoroughly suggestible or awakening my on/off interest in painting tiny men, I’m considering ordering Warhammer Quest: Blackstone Fortress from my local game shop (if they have it in…

Greetings. A pretty active gaming week in this, our latest stay at home week. First up, on the old PC. I’m continuing in my quixotic quest to play every game in my backlog, even if it’s for a mere 5 minutes. This week, I consciously tried to do that instead of slipping into my two comfort food games, Minecraft and Star…

Continuing through Dragon Age Origins. Now completed the Circle Tower quest and had fun storming the castle at Redcliffe, so about to go off on a quest for the holy hand grenade. At Redcliffe I managed one of my favourite mini-challenges in the game, which is preventing any of the village militia guys from getting…

Hey!

Nioh 2 has been a wild ride. After a mid-game of lackluster bosses, the game has thrown a few at me that took a few tries. The most challenging so far was Shibata Katsuie. I defeated him with an inch of my health left and in pretty spectacular fashion (straight up slapping him in the face). Even made a video to…

Recently did a bit of a binge on Fire Emblem: Three Houses. I’m still very early in the game, but I’ve got my students in proper classes and managed to get through a big fight without losing a single one (though of course I’m on Casual.) The problem with playing this in bed is before you know it, five hours have…

The game definitely benefits from having more than 2 people play. With 2 people it becomes a little RNG dependent based on what cards you draw, which can get annoying real quick. My first game was with my dad, Ursula and Cpt Hook respectively, and it just so happened that a required card of both of our objectives were…
