Nintendo

Made me look at the calendar, I thought I had been in a coma for a few days!

... It is Wednesday, right?

I'm out of town and didn't think a lot about which game to bring, so I just started a second playthrough of Pokémon Scarlet with only flying type Pokémon. I didn't even like the first playthrough that much, but I had wanted to do a monotype run of any game one day, and this one was right here, so here I am. It's ok I guess.

After realizing I don’t actually enjoy Starfield any longer, I started playing BG3

Animal Crossing New Horizons. Received this two Christmas ago and enjoy playing now and then.

But on man do I wish I had a dodo code to an island where I could get cherry and pears.

I have apples, oranges, peaches, coconuts yet can't get the others.

Vegetables I have tomatoes, potatoes, carrots, wheat, and sugar cain.

It's ridiculous that you can't use miles and get to an island that has the other stuff.

In my search for short but awesome games, I just started playing Inscryption! I haven't gotten very far, but boy does it spark my curiosity, I neeeed to find out what awaits

LoL plagues me as usual.

However I've been playing some Rust and Project Zomboid on the side.

I am also playing Skylords (fan resurrection of EA's Battleforge) which is an RTS but your units/civ is made up by a deck of cards you build yourself. It's a very different take on the RTS genre and I never saw anything like it.

Edit: might go enjoy GuildWars2 winter event. They are usually super fun.

I got back into Super Mario Odyssey, after like 5 years. Just felt the desire to play it again and man, does it take me back to 2017/18. Still just as fun.

Pokemon Platinum, playing around but mostly to complete what I am missing in Black 2

I was sick over the past week and got Dave the Diver to have something not to demanding to play as I am done with Pokemon, super fun I highly recommend it.

I also got back into Animal Crossing.

The Deponia collection was a steal. Seems very Monkey Island-y. I liked the monkey island series so hopefully I'll like this. I'll be playing Deponia.

I tried little big factory before but I called it quits after realising it's not for me. Also bought Move Out on sale but just seems too repetitive, maybe it's more of a multiplayer game than single player...

I'm beating TOTK again.

Trying to finish up Persona 4 Golden on my Switch. Playing some Risk of Rain Returns on the side

I'll be moving on to Baldurs Gate 3 on my Xbox Series S once I'm done with P4G. Also playing Remnant 2 and Warhammer 40k Darktide Co-op with friends.

It's the weekend, my dudes.

Baten Kaitos New Game Minus progress is slow. I don't play it very often right now but when I do, I get a lot done. Some enemies have begun to outspeed me, but I've only had a character die to bad defense RNG once so far.

I've spent most of my time with Arkham Origins lately. I've 100% the main game and New Game Plus (which is an odd name for hard mode), I've beaten the Cold Cold Heart DLC and have just begun the Challenge maps. When I started the game, I completely forgot it takes place during christmas, so it's an accidentally fitting game.

I'm deep enough into Shantae on the Game Boy to have more of an opinion on it. The game has two faces: The dungeons, which are a joy to be in and the overworld which is an awful slog. The game has fast travel, but it takes a long time to unlock it. And the constant back and forth makes me impatient enough to just jump into a pit and be reset to the beginning of the area. I probably could have beaten the game by now if I played it more, but I'm playing too many games at once...

Speaking of too many games, I dug out my save file for Pokemon Infinite Fusion again and finally finished off most of the post game.

I'm probably going to install the original Doom on my laptop.

Last weekend I wrapped up Super Mario Bros. Wonder with 100% completion and so I've returned to Starfield. Level 21 and counting, currently playing through the Crimson Fleet questline.

I wish I could fly my ship wherever I wanted...

Finished Broforce!

Bought this game mainly for multiplayer, but had never finished the campaign, decided to do it in singleplayer. And I'm not sure it was a good idea - this game is very fun when you have a bunch of friends running around, blowing stuff and laughing at the chaos, but it gets very frustrating when playing solo.

You die too easily and too often, and since you always start the stage with a single life any time you don't have an extra life available near the start you're going to struggle. Once you have a buffer or two most stages flow well, but there were plenty of "die 10 times before making it to the extra life" moments.

There's a lot of deaths that feels like bullshit too. I get that the random nature of the characters is part of the game and sometimes you're going to get a shit character for the stage you're on, but many times you just jump across a ledge and die instantly to a previously off-screen enemy, or die to stuff unexpectedly falling from above.

Finally, holy crap that final boss had a LOT of lag (at least on the Switch version). Might actually be a good thing considering how fast and chaotic this game is, but I can't imagine how bad that would get with 4 players.

Finished A Short Hike!

What an adorable and relaxing little game. Gameplay is simple - you just explore, glide around, and chat to people while slowly going up a trail. It's very short (took me something like 2h), but I was smiling all the way through.

Definitely going to replay this one.

Finished Torchlight 2!

Felt like playing a good Diablo-like hack-and-slash, and saw one of my favorites on sale in the eShop. Did a run with an Engineer and a Cat pet, just smashing my way through with a hammer.

Haven't started any games after that yet, I've been a distracted by Magic Arena since yesterday's update added the Khans of Tarkir set and this lets me play my favorite deck ever (Izzet Phoenix) in that client. They also added a new format ("TImeless") that has been very interesting so far.

Playing pokemon non stop until I finish the DLC story and the fill the Pokédex.
