Musing mostly about games and other things. Obsessive planner. CrossFit and martial arts enthusiast. Shy Guy supremacy. Carry on.
Gotta love 90’s voice acting 🤣
The game gets unintentionally funny when some English words get incorporated into the dialogue.

Just 9 more houses to run credits in the Animal Crossing DLC and I’ll finally be free (unless it gets another update 😅)

Here’s some more pics of what I made recently:

Beat the Pragmata Demo on Switch 2. Outside of some blurry shadows and hair textures, I’m surprised how well this game is looking and even more impressed that it is running at 60fps. Seems that the finished product is shaping to be good to great.

Well done Capcom, you’ve sold me on the game.

This image is sooo real 😂 it’s our shared experience as Latino kids, sleeping at bodas and quinceañeras over chairs while our parents were partying.

Benito did amazing. There’s so much history and culture packed in his performance. Makes one feel very proud.

4) Control Ultimate Edition

A fun & weird game. Liked the horror & Metroid like vibes of it. The action gameplay and supernatural powers are cool. The story was messy, it has an interesting premise however, the ending felt rather weak. I ended up liking it a lot. I’m now sold on the coming game.

This is what I’m getting from what was announced at the Partner Showcase.

Not too bad all things considered.

Now why was Clair Obscur the first thing that came to mind after hearing this tape? 🗿

Stumbled upon this room. Looks like my office. Post-its and all.

So, big boss Lottie said that she wants to do a music festival and, she treated the crew with dinner… A leader.

(Must mean that I’m close to beating the DLC huh?)

What in the last of us is going on here??

I’m sure it had been said a lot but man, the Switch 2 version of FFVII Remake is jaw-dropping good. Even at 30fps, it just feels super smooth.

I mean, look at the material:

I also started my third playthrough of Final Fantasy VII Remake with the Switch 2 Version. Gotta say, this game, flaws and all, is still very magical. I’m hooked again.

3) Fire Emblem Warriors

Had lots of fun. I appreciated the more tactical approach to missions forcing you to react in the moment compared to the Hyrule games where it’s mostly stationary enemies. Story was basic and I too wished that it incorporated more co characters outside of “the big 3.”

I beat the original Fire Emblem Warriors. Had fun overall but it did not grab me enough to plunge 80+ hours on it like I did with all Hyrule Warriors games.

Rajaion being cured by the herons and his last words with Ena.

The duel with the Black Knight.

Ike and Elincia greeting their countrymen as hero and Queen.

These are some shots of Path of Radiance’s moments that I like:

Ike embracing his role as general and rallying his troops for the final battle.

Grieving Greil.

The herons restoring the forest.

Elincia joining her troops in battle.

This suit also ruled.

That red suit tho 🤌🏽

Took a crap-ton of screenshots of my girl Samus while playing MP4.

Ultimately, the game was good enough with some deep flaws. Fingers crossed that we don’t wait another 18 years to get a sequel that gets developed without major issues.

That final shot and piecing together where the tree is in Breath of the Wild & Tears of the Kingdom got me a bit on the feels.

Okay last for Pokemon 😅

I liked revisiting Hoenn’s lore. These drawings of the weather trio are cool. Oh and added creepy kids’ drawing #10 for funsies 😂

The Mega Dimension ending was also very wild.
January 27, 2026 at 5:03 AM
This ending sequence was crazy.
