Okay. Going to finish up FFIV 3D and then finally get to finish streaming Secret of Mana to actually Stream KH2 and end my JRPG year of 2s for the year... maybe throw in Sparks of Hope too.

Was given an Xbox one S that ran questionable. Left it alone because Xbox has no (JRP)Games. Anyway- tried to use it again, but no dice.
Issues were this old, dried thermal paste, and a dying HDD.
Had some issues with the PSU, but it was also the cable. Thought it was the VRM.
I like doing this :)

My surgery was a failure. Complications arose when what I needed to re-attach was too microscopic for my skill. The patient will remain batter-less despite having great hardware.
I might pay someone to solder itty bitty SMD pads for me just to defeat proprietary battery hardware.

The game initially explains why Zephiel is the way he is, but having played the prequel sequel first, it pretty much hammers his character in.
FE: Roy (The Binding Blade) is definitely the hardest I've played and most annoying. Much fun. Roy, our boy, is pretty boring, but eh.

I like buying broken things and fixing them. Especially when I save over 70% their price. But it's still nice just giving life to something perfectly useful that was neglected. But I grew up off hand me downs and making things last.
Also it's just fun tinkering.

Only in Adventure Time will you watch a short episode about a pregnant dog that hunts down a monster for it's venom to make an antidote where said monster is actually a baby, is knocked out by the pregnant dog for said venom, to save her husband only for both of them to give birth at the same time.

The new Steam Controller arouses me.
The D-pad is on the top! HALLELUJAH!
The only thing I am dying to know is if it'll be good for fighting games. If it can do (Lightning) Wind God Fist with 90% accuracy outside of humor error, I will literally buy 5 of these!

A photographer having fun taking photos in #FFXV? It's more likely than you think!
I need to take more Chocobo-based photos. That's right. Need.

Welp. I've taken a gamble.
Instead of buying a thing, I spent a little more buying a broken thing with the intention that I can fix the problem. Dunno what the problem can be, but I hope it's not water damage. Rust is lethal. Most parts can be replaced except, well...

I beat DKC2 for the first time and a thought came to my head.
I think K.Rool is justified for stealing DK's bananas from his banana hoard.
Think about it. All those bananas in a cave and they never spoil or started to spoil asap.
DK is hoarding some good shit.
What else is a K.Rool to do?!

Man this game is charming. Doesn't help that I've always been a fan of Tron since a kiddo.
I though this game was going to be more involved, but not really! It's rather simple. I'd recommend a guide on who to give what for upgrades since going 1 by 1 eats a lot of time.
Hard puzzles too!

It's funny how the Pokemon main series is so boring to me. And yet they have so many romhacks.
Then it just hit me. 70 years later. Romhacks of the other Pokemon games! Especially the Trading Card Game!
Trading Card Games are so fun when money isn't involved lol.

I'm running out of themes for my photography photos. So here are some masked #portrait #photography of #cosplay -ers I took at various SoCal conventions.

I've always thought blind dates were weird. A movie, dinner, museum, venue. All that stuff with a stranger.
Stuff that I'd do normally with friends.
And in my time, I was expected to pay for everything.
But my friends and I would pay for ourselves and even get each other stuff just cuz.

Onimusha 2. Controls very well. Gameplay is fantastic.
Story and narrative is fucking bonkers and beyond cheese.
Not sure if I'd replay it given the reward of the gift system is getting to know the others more when the writing for it is... meh.
I prefer the first more.

Wow. The PlayStation 4 controller (DS4) is so easy to take apart. It's so user-friendly for repair. And even the parts are easy to fix. The only down-side is if you really messed up your analog sticks.
On the subject of controllers. The Xbox X controller is just engineering cable management love.

I hate Mortal Kombat II. Let me preface that it's a fine game when played -only- with other people.
Other than that. Be it console, handheld, or arcade, this game is Komplete trash as the AI is a quarter-muncher that would make some SNK games blush.

Color my surprise to find that Onimusha 2 not only has a tiny little hub, but a dating sim embedded in it. That explains why those four characters had a spotlight in an amazing game opening (with amazing transitions to boot)!
It's still Onimusha. Love my tank controls.

Not done with it yet, but I feel as though the whole game is just about hanging out underground. The map design for the four areas aren't as creative as the first and I believe it has to do with the intent that the underground was suppose to be the new identity with pseudo random generated layouts.

Ten games to know me by.
(Outside of Maplestory and World of Warcraft, I'm sure, i'd easily recommend any of these games today)

I really like the song, "A Total Eclipse of the Heart", but whenever I sing it, I use "extreme" or "death" metal vocals.
I have yet to find anything that sings the song with those vocals. I wonder if Retsuko from Aggretsuko would ever sing it, hahahahahaha (/Fenneko).
Original still great though.

Making some progress. My brain just locked-in for some reason.
Mashin Hero Wataru Gaiden was a light-JRPG (5hrs) apparently, but I thin it's almost time to hit a big one.
Not sure which yet. But heavily leaning on a Final Fantasy... that is to say after I finish streaming Secret of Mana then KH2 lol
