What just happened?

When I first played Y0 back in 2020, I beat it getting 100% CP, but got stuck in the penultimate Climax Battle. I tried again and again, but I just couldn't win.

Today, I beat Legend diff. and immediately first-timed the last two Climax Battles.

I am also totally shitfaced XD

Going live with another blast from the past, this time it's the original Fallout!

But there's a twist, this is using the Fallout et Tu mod, which ports the original game to the superior engine for Fallout 2!

Finished a challenge run of Vagrant Story last night, where I used no Battle Abilities (no Chain or Defence) or Break Arts, and was surprised by how easy I found it, especially compared to when I did a no Magic run a few months previously.

Turns out Magic is pretty OP!

Going live with a Vagrant Story challenge run: No Chain Abilities and No Break Arts.

This means I'll have to use single attacks and magic to get me through the whole game!

The things I'll do for achievements...

Finished the first four Earthsea books, currently on the short stories before reading The Other Wind, but holy goddamn hell, Tehanu was fucking outstanding. Genuinely one of the best things I've ever read. It's been a while since I've been lying in bed and reading way past when I should be sleeping.

Me making a sandwich: Hmm hm hmm, hmm hm hmm, hmm hh hm hmm

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells sw--

Me catching myself: The horror.

All the years of railing against early Christmas anything, and there I am singing to myself in November.

I have become that which I hate.

As a man gets older, there are certain things he needs to start taking care of that he never had to before. Like nose hairs.

Trimmers for the job exist so it's not too onerous, but mine has fallen over too many times and rather than cutting, it now plucks batches at a time.

Life is pain.

I'm always surprised by how great a listening experience the Silent Hill 1 soundtrack is, considering it's nearly 95% just industrial horror noise.

Way overdue cleaning of the keyboard, just need to remember where they all go!

The best thing about streaming Chrono Cross is getting to do all the accents.

As a dumb white guy, sometimes you just got to let it go unvoiced.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn’t Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, or Alice In Chains.

I really struggled to pick just one! Nearly chose Rust in Peace, Rage Against the Machine, Jagged Little Pill, OK Computer and more...

I've gone with Blind Guardian's Nightfall in Middle-Earth!

Finished The Tombs of Atuan. Honestly? I preferred The Wizard of Earthsea by quite a bit, but maybe I just need to reread at a later date to see if I get a better grip on what it's about. Still good, either way!

Finally reading the Earthsea novels, how did it take me getting into my 40s to finally start these?
