City’s op (Furui Riho - Hello) having the same piano motif as Nichijou’s second op in both starts of the song made my week

My favorite video games of all time list! Maybe I'll make a version where I try to include only one game from a franchise but these (at least from what I can remember right now).

I haven't had the time to play games so this list is pretty much my opinion for a year or two lol

I finished Octopath Traveler 1, or at least saw the credits of it. Started with Tressa and ended with her. While the game’s writing was mostly predictable I still cried at how it was executed, Tressa’s story especially was incredibly satisfying and the ending was the perfect way to end it. A classic

If the TTYD has a feature called "Tattle Check" (I assume rereading the tattle dialogue) I trust the devs to make other smart small changes like that.
Hopefully the Luigi stories stay stories since I loved the idea of his stories not being experienced by the player lol.

I had more on my plate than I realized lol

I ended up getting some games from the last time I made this so consider this a backlog.

Mio is home

I'm probably the most optimistic person on the planet about the Gen 5 starters and can't choose between them.

Every Love Plus game has their soundtrack available somewhere BUT Love Plus Every, the smartphone game. Either that or I haven't found it anywhere? Konami has been pretty good at releasing the soundtrack of each of the games BUT Love Plus Every's.

恋する女たち (Young Girls In Love 1986). It has Yuki Saito and Haruko Sagara from the Sukeban Deka series which was mostly the reason I know it. That and the choice to have Saito smoke a fake cigarette lol.

I still find it pretty funny how I spent a week finding a high quality clip of Yuki Saito smoking since the wiki page on her mentioned her LDS beliefs got in the way of her smoking for real but she used a fake cigarette for this movie. I find it funny lol. Hope the movie gets English subs one day!

One day this will be a reality.

Just beat Another Code: Recollection. I hadn't played the original but I could tell the DS visual novel / puzzle vibe from it and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I can't get over how nice the characters look in this game, they've really done a good job with stylizing them

The games I meant to play:

This year I tried to play my Switch more since I had a ton of unfinished/unplayed games I’ve been meaning to play (XC3 and TOTK got in the way mostly) but I’m surprised I played as much as I did…

World Of Horror physical copy goes so hard

My Mythra GameCube controller with clear resin buttons that I use as a PC controller because I’m very wise with my purchases (he only plays games that don’t need all four shoulder buttons)
