I had some fun games as Ashe tonight! Felt like my aim was in a good place for the most part, too.

Arcania really wanted that bomb float....

...Thankfully, she didn't have to wait too long to get her turn! 😈

Sticking with the Puyo Puyo theme, I got some of these as part of a recent imported drinks/sweets order!

They're pretty nice. If you've ever had Japanese jelly sweets before, they have that kind of taste.

This week, I've decided to show Puyo Puyo Tetris on the Playstation Vita! This was yet another 2014 Japan trip pick up.

I thought it was a fun little mashup of two great puzzle games. While it came out elsewhere (and for other platforms), only Japan got a physical release of the Vita version.

Recently added another Japanese PS1 launch title to my collection; Crime Crackers. It's an anime-style dungeon crawler about a group of bounty hunters.

Not sure if I'll ever be able to play it in any meaningful way, but I'll at least give it a shot at some point.

Arcania instantly jumped on the new moogle shirt (the form-fitting version, naturally)! Also tested out the new portrait mode, the filter intensity options, as well as some emotes that can now be used while sitting on the floor.

She's pretty pumped about it!

Here are the discs. Overall, I think the presentation of the set is nice to look at. Glad to have it in my collection!

Thought I'd show off another game soundtrack this week. Here's the OST for Wild Arms 3!

I really liked playing through the game, and I thought the soundtrack was great. I picked this up during my 2014 Japan trip, I believe.

As I'm not near an M&S very often, I thought I'd grab one of these yesterday. I thought it was pretty nice. I'd had a fruit sandwich in Japan before, but not a strawberry one.

Kind of funny that I saw a lot of visiting Japanese school students around yesterday. I wonder what they make of it!

Dragged myself out to the cinema for the time in ages to watch Fantastic Four.

Pretty sure this is my first visit to this particular venue siiiince...Across The Spider-Verse? So yeah, a while! 😅

These awesome prints and charms by @freydraws.bsky.social arrived today! They're a nice addition to my collection! 👌 Glad I had a chance to pick up some of their stuff.

Another game from my JP PS1 collection; Mr. Driller!

For those unaware of it, it's an arcade game where you have to drill down into blocks without the resulting cave-ins crushing you. You also have to keep your oxygen supply up.

This was one of my recent online pickups.

In addition, I collected as many Everton players past and present (all past now) as I could. There were never any regular Everton cards for the game (my Lineker one is a special 'Legends' card), so the best I could do was pick up cards of them at other clubs.

On my visits to Japan, I used to play an arcade game called World Club Champion Football. It used some special cards you could place down on the cabinet. The game unfortunately ended in 2022, but it was pretty cool while it lasted!

This is pretty much what my starting line-up looked like.

Something interesting from my collection; the Zelda promotional disc for the GameCube!

I grabbed it from eBay years ago, as I never got to play the earlier installments in the franchise. I'll admit that I'm still not really into the Zelda games, but I appreciate their importance all the same!

You DO NOT want to mess with Rammatra when he...boots up(?) on the wrong side of the bed!

Here's another random game from my collection; Resident Evil for the GameCube!

I remember being really impressed with it at the time. Still used pre-rendered backgrounds, granted, but it was used to great effect!

Even found an old sticky note of mine in the safety leaflet!

Being a menace with Tracer never gets old! :3

Been a while, so here's a Japanese PS1 game I haven't posted yet.

Tetris with Cardcaptor Sakura Eternal Heart! As a unique version of Tetris exclusive to Japan, I had to pick it up.

Yet to play it. It's due to be played on my next PS1 stream...but I haven't been up to it for ages! 😅 One day...

A reminder that while Arcania hasn't appeared here a great deal lately, she's never truly gone!

Watch your back! 😈

I had some fun playing as D.Va today

In other games, I denied a Junk ult (twice), and I also blocked a Pharah barrage. As always, I like how much flexibilty her boosters offer. You can protect AND chase!

I recently commissioned my friend @redthemarten.bsky.social to draw this picture of Becky! I gave them a basic idea of what I wanted, and this is how it turned out. I'm really happy with it! 👌

Been having a nice time as Ashe lately. Feel like my aim is in a good place.

"No mech? No problem!"

Silly little highlight from a game I had today. 😜
