Us heroes, we have so much to do.
Just finished the Nioh 3 demo with very mixed opinions.

Combat is still among the best in the genre, but what I liked about Nioh is the tight level design.

Those ninja hideouts and sprawling castles were amazing.

...so I really didn't want Nioh: Elden Ring edition.

I sometimes play through classic game series, just to get a bit of 'history' and see how a series has changed over time.
Going through Ratchet and Clank now.

I have to say, the jump from R&C1 to R&C2 is one of the biggest jumps in quality I've ever seen.

2 is like the first...but good.

I can't even begin to explain MFW I hear about a new Ben & Dan game, decide to go check out the Steam page, and be immediately greeted by Alex Horne.

I just learned that not only did they make a Slay the Spire-like about Fairy Tail, they ALSO made a chibi-2D Fairy Tail beach volleyball game.

They're both kinda fun, but as an unapologetic fan of the anime, only one of these games is 'correct'.

Post a game you remember playing but nobody else remembers.

This was a small game you'd get for free when returning some amount of empty batteries.

It was frustrating, and I played this before I had any idea what good game design was, but the animation holds up okay!

It wasn't close. What can I say; game's good.

Runner-up was Xenoblade X with what would be an easy win any other year at 90-ish.

And if you're wondering what happened in August...
Metaphor ReFantazio happened.

So the other day I bought a roomba.
And like any well-adjusted, responsible, grown-ass man, I turned it into a Rareware character.

Its name is Beep-0, after Mario + Rabbids.

Is there a Grinch or Scrooge version for New Year's?

Because it's me.
Humbug. Humbug I say!

I forget who it was, but someone told me not to sleep on Astro's Playroom before jumping into the full Astro Bot game.

Man, spot on. What a joyful little game that was.
I didn't know I needed the PS5's GPU singing at me, but here we are.

Just got back from Return of the King Extended at my local theatre, capping off three days of LotR.

These days it's hard to keep my attention on it for the full 12 hours, but when forced to on the big screen it's still magical.

Astounding film-making, no notes.

If all goes well, my PS5 should be arriving tomorrow. (Curtains too, final touches of the apartment)

What are your recommendations for PS and PS+ games to get?
Currently I'm looking forward to Astro Bot, Bloodborne, Gravity Rush, and Sly Cooper.

So what else needs to be up there?

There's this Dutch TV show that only runs 2x 7 days a year, where they make Weird Al parody songs of news items.
Every week they also host a celebrity guest who does a parody of their own song.

Now I didn't know this week's guest, SERA, but man I'm in love.
What a beaming smile she has!

A neat detail about MP4's opening is that Samus' scan visor keeps returning "Statue of unknown lifeform made out of unknown substance"...

And the second she gets psychic powers the visor is like "This is a statue of John Alienguy III, head priest of the So-and-so, made of Unobtainium."

It's very surreal to be holding a fictional book in my allegedly real hands.

I try not to buy much merch if I can help it, but this is just super neat. I've always liked this art, and Rosalina is my favorite Mario character too.

I saw someone who had turned the Swerve Star into the Millenium Puzzle, so I decided to make this instead.

I think it turned out pretty well, but I wouldn't hold it against you if you scored it just 6,5/10.

Tomorrow is the Big Move.
11 boxes, plus a whole bunch of bags. It'll be a thing.

Going from a 34m2 studio rental to a 65m2 apartment I by some miracle now...own?

Wait, that doesn't sound right; surely one doesn't OWN the place they eat, sleep, and play videogames?
In this economy?!

I was never that hyped for the first Mario movie, but I enjoyed it fine.

This one though, I'm actually quite excited!

Elements from Sunshine, Galaxy, Odyssey, and Wonder could be very neat.

Plus, Best Girl Rosalina being badass as she damn well should.

Forgive me, Miyamoto, for I have sinned...

It looks like I'll be getting my first Playstation console soon.

I needed an ISP for the new home, and it turns out a provider who was already on my shortlist is offering a free PS5 with a two-year contract.

Couldn't let that slide!

I'm trying to clean my old apartment before moving out and security deposit inspections.

Me:
"Oh god no, how am I ever going to get this awful stain out?!"

The humble steelwool brush:

"Pokémon time!"

"Hades time!"

"Pokémon time!"

...
"Absolum time!"

"Absolum time, fire!"
