Sadly I don't have a GameCube controller for my Switch, but I fancied some chilled nostalgia today and I've not yet tried the new GameCube emulator on Switch 2, so Luigi's Mansion it is 👻

This was a lot of fun! Really impressed with the mod quality and the new puzzle elements fit in really well to the existing ones.

Finally got some time to game again, so I naturally went back to Final Fantasy Tactics. Just a nice, chill story segment to work through on a Sunday night.

The scariest thing I did yesterday was try out a new barber. Worked out well though, I think! ✂️

White Mage: benevolently pray that a divine power gently cradles a fallen ally back to the wakeful world.
Monk: yell at someone so loudly that they get better.

It's been a while since I've been on a bus in the nighttime so it's lovely to see that mood lighting has been installed 💅🏻

Making a start on Final Fantasy Tactics! I've been looking forward to this since its release, but life (and Silksong!) meant I couldn't begin until now. Already enjoying my adventure in Ivalice!

After playing the demo for Voyager: Across The Unknown I am feeling pretty hyped for it. It's currently looking pretty solid (though clearly an early build) and while I can already see potential mid- to late-game issues in the game model, there's a very exciting foundation in place here.

That'll do me! I've really enjoyed Silksong, some of the later challenges took the piss and Act 3 felt a bit disjointed compared to the rest of the game, but it was a journey well worth making. Thanks, Team Cherry!

Wow... Skarrsinger Karmelita. That felt like a particularly proud achievement when I got the clear. I genuinely didn't think I was going to be able to do it!

I completed Silksong yesterday afternoon!
...but of course, I didn't really *complete* it, so I spent yesterday adding to this already substantial game time unlocking more side quests to get a better ending and hopefully see Act 3 today!

I've got a decision to face this evening, because I am really looking forward to playing this, but I am also nowhere NEAR done with Silksong, which I am enjoying very much too!

Just traversed The Mist, defeated Phantom, and am now plotting a trail to quickly transport a meaty snack. Silksong definitely has a range of tasks.

Excluding a single rogue result rather than finding out what's wrong with the report structure to allow the rogue result to be included in the first place

Absolutely in love with Silksong, it was well worth the wait (and the price!). I forgot how much I love this kind of Metroidvania game where I can lose myself exploring and backtracking to discover new areas.

I enjoy extreme close ups of Ripley's face, especially when she is looking goofy or blurry.

Put together a new glam for my FFXIV catboy as he heads off to explore the Occult Crescent. Looking forward to seeing the Dawntrail relic area; I quite liked Eureka and Bozja, and I've heard this has similar vibes!

FFXIV makes me laugh, here is a relatively serious cutscene from this year's The Rising (a fairly sombre annual event commemorating fallen comrades) while my WoL is dressed like a total fuckboy, and no one bats an eyelid.
