10 minutes before I saw this, while prepping dinner, the OP music from Season 1 popped into my mind unbidden - clearly a sign I should read this!

I’m fairly sure that I picked up a lot of my motivation for tackling “impossible” things from this film

Days since last transporter incident: -37 (factoring in getting sent back in time because chronitons or something)

Lufia 2 was the first I ever played, and it was Chrono Trigger that got me hunting for more games - still have a lot of fondness for the Lufia series too, feels like it’s about time to do a replay!

The unabated Mega Man posting continues: got past the Quarry stage and now have Model ZX, which immediately makes the game feel speedier.

Being able to fling yourself through the air while slashing and not arresting some momentum is what makes the Zero series the most fun (to me at least)

Also, the first bosses you can encounter are a marked step up in terms of difficulty vs the “first four” you can face in ZX.

Chronoforce in particular.

Then you get to Atlas and she’s a wet noodle (which, to be fair, sums up the Model F experience in both games quite well)

Update: booted up ZX Advent.

It’s really jarring going from having Model ZX so early to only having Model A and a small selection of transformations to acquire initially. I really miss having a beam saber and being able to combo.

Also: re-experiencing the ZX games makes me wonder if and when we’ll be getting a Starforce Legacy Collection - I’d love to experience them with functional online features (by the time I got a DS Lite Nintendo had shut down WFC)

I did unlock Model Ox (by defeating Omega - but also defeated the MMZ 3 & 4 bosses for fun. I really enjoy the Omega fight!)

Was fun to revisit - probably going to start Advent up this evening!

Was initially thinking I’d grind some of the completion achievements out, but:

1. I’m terrible at avoiding the Pseudoroid weaknesses for 5 of the bosses, so getting Level 4 is going to take forever…

2. … the sub-tank in Area K frustrated me for half an hour before I decided it wasn’t worth it.

Same - the second I saw the names Thomas, Mikhail and Albert come up I was just waiting for the inevitable
