Feels pretty surreal after 6.5 years I finally finished Iroha Tamaki’s story in Magia Record thanks to the fan translation of Arc 2. I still have some more main story stuff to watch (Puella Historia is the big one), but wow it was amazing. Plan to write a blog later this month when I’m all done.

Youtube trying to piece together some kind of narrative from my weird watch history was very amusing. The bizarre award they gave me was hilarious. Thanks Youtube lol.

I’m looking at eshop sales and oof this a lot of pressure to decide if I want to get Yakuza Kiwami on sale before the sale runs out.
As long as I decide before I’m 80 I should be ok.

Tonight I beat Pokemon Legends Z/A with the full Pokedex completed. Had a lot of fun overall, especially when it tapped into Yakuza. New real time battle system is cool, but I think they need to play around with it a tad. Too often I was just stomping stuff. I missed Arceus’ world and trainer stuff.

I’m 50+ hours into Ghost of Yotei and only have two missions left to finish the story and get the Platinum. Really excited to wrap that up tomorrow.
Mainly posting since I wanted to share some screenshots I took today. The game is just hyper gorgeous.

Awesome chart! I made an updated version of my top 30 games on my birthday last month which I view similarly as a get to know me list. Had a lot of fun putting it together.

Yesterday I started a new playthrough and finished OverBlood as part of my PS3 backlog. It’s not a good video game, but everything is working in concert to make it such a silly experience from start to finish from the animations, voice acting / script, over the top deaths, etc. Glad I played it.

I definitely need to write some extended thoughts down somewhere down the road, but I’m happy to say that while I’m very exhausted / relieved, I’m also fully satisfied that I finished The Hundred Line with all 100 endings after 165+ hours. One of the best games of the year. Truly an achievement.

Had fun playing the Drag X Drive demo with friends tonight. Got a big kick out of high fiving each other and clapping in particular lol.

Haven’t been posting much here, but I’ve been steadily chipping away at The Hundred Line the last few weeks. I just got my 90th ending tonight and wow that was fantastic. I still have the other major ending to go for, but wow, what a journey.

Example infinity of AI sucking, but it’s darkly funny the only reason I googled how long is Shadow Labyrinth is because HowLongToBeat actually had no times at all listed still. It literally just made up numbers and put a hyperlink for no reason!
30-35 hours according to Reddit incidentally.

I 100% finished Donkey Kong Bananza last night with all 777 bananas, all fossils/outfits, and all songs. Digging holes is fun from the jump, but the continual surprises throughout and how much it celebrates the series cemented it as my current GOTY frontrunner. Absolutely incredible and joyous game.

Super Metroid is my second favorite game of all time and I always thought the box was good or good enough at least.
I never noticed until it was pointed out to me tonight the big green claw was Kraid’s foot with his big belly in the middle there lol. Why is he just floating in midair like that??

My friends are pretty into the Pokemon TCG which has kept me playing. I’m still trying to complete the first deck (just 5 left) so I mostly only pull newer cards in Wonder Pick.
There was one I really wanted in particular and I burned so many hourglasses to get it. Finally Weird Wiggly is mine! lol

I won the gacha twice tonight in Magia Exedra.

Started Magia Exedra tonight the moment it launched. The graphics are amazing and while I was skeptical walking in, the battle system has a lot of potential to be cool with the different roles, managing special attacks, and interrupting actions.

Started exploring Messeldam. It’s always fun to explore a new city and I enjoyed checking out the first batch of movies in the game, fishing, and making use of the new AR shard pick up thing.
Also while I’m posting I did want to share my favorite off screen screenshot from yesterday lol.

I’m only like an hour in, but I’m enjoying Infinity Nikki so far. Running and jumping seems fun and the world seems cute and inviting. Biggest surprise is the bonkers lore lol. I want more of it haha.
