TotK. Completed 44 Shrines and defeated the Rito boss.

The ‘plein air’ approach to a temple is interesting, but I wouldn’t say it’s better than BotW’s divine beast, Vah Medoh. The boss was interesting but a bit damn easy, even compared to Windblight Ganon. Hopefully this game follows the trend of Rito = easiest/ weakest.

I finally caved this week and booted up Final Fantasy 7 after having it in my backlog for years. After a series of blunders that forced me to play through the opening reactor mission three times, I've finally been making good progress. If I had to guess, I'd say that I'm probably in the last third-to-quarter of disc 1.

Normally JRPGs are the genre I default to when I want to relax and play something mindless, but the combat in this game really makes me sweat.........

Just beat Double Dragon Gaiden. Pretty decent game. I like how they incorporated Willy, Duke, and Mysterious Woyer (lol) into the same game. It's decently fun, but I got wrecked at the final stage playing with Billy and Jimmy. Billy and Marian is the way to go...a night and day difference in difficulty. I'm liking this a lot more than DD4. Still not what I had hoped for in continuing the vibe they had in the first two games, but still fun nonetheless.
It's like Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, but instead it's Who Wants Fried Chicken? I do.

Trapped in a loop of playing Monster Hunter Rise/MHR: Sunbreak and Splatoon 3.  Every once and a while, I sneak a game from the back catalog in there.

Started playing Super Mario Wonder. It’s pretty good, giving me og SMW vibes.

Played through the Super Mario RPG remake and
(click to show/hide)

It's a lot easier than the original game but I like that it kept things mostly the same with a few new surprises. I really hope Nintendo implements a hard mode in an update.

Going through my second playthrough of RE4 Remake (my wife got me a PS5 for my birthday). I really like how close they stayed to the original, but I wonder if they should've done more? I dunno. It's fun playing again, though. My first playthrough was on Hardcore, and the Salazar fight was a pain in the ass. Other than that, it was good, although I felt like I was just limping by throughout my first playthrough. Krauser feels like even more of a dork in this one, lol. Overall pretty great game, though.

Next on my list is the new Robocop game. Can't wait!

Muse Dash is my bitter pleasure up until the point when Chronicles of the Wolf is finally fully geared and released in the future. I freagin love the song Internet Overdose and I was driven to purchase any music game that has the song. The task to unlock that song takes forever in Muse Dash but eventually get it.

Damn, there really could have some sort of story mode in Muse Dash.

I completed my first playthrough of Baldur's Gate 3. I was playing as a Barbarian, along with Astarion (rogue/thief), Gale(Lightning Sorc), and a Paladin. I loved Div 1 and 2 and I like BG3 just as much if not more. My highest praises. Amazing game.

Recently did a run-through of the Streets of Rage Remake project (v5.2), having never played the originals. What an incredibly tight fangame. It's really a crying shame that Sega hit them with a DMCA.

I've also been revisiting some old games via Fightcade - namely Heritage for the Future, and I'm planning on doing a co-op runthrough of Shadows over Mystara with a friend of mine via Fightcade as well.

Super Mario Wonder does a really good job of recapturing that feeling of playing Mario games as a child. There are so many secrets, and surprises in every level, plus the way that the wonder flower changes every level is really fun.

I give Super Mario Wonder a 9 out of 10.

The game of life, aka nothing.

Awaiting some more Famicom, PS1 Goemon trilogy (they came in a bundle, I already own of them), a PS2 Soul Caliburing experience of the third kind, and some Game Boy titles to arrive off Ebay. I will hit the 1,345 game mark by the time they all arrive.

For sure the Game Boy games I want to play in my Super Game Boy, both Momotaro Dengeki 1, and Momotaro Dengeki 2, and the third PS1 Goemon game, aka Oedo Daikaiten (this one will have one bit that WILL trip me up, getting a pass to leave town, and it's a puzzle with a ghost town that is tricky to know what to do as there is no English FAQ for the game).

I give Super Mario Wonder a 9 out of 10.

It's the best sidescrolling Mario game in a long time for sure, if you don't count spinoff games like Yoshi's Woolly World, which is phenomenal. The best since the original New Super Mario Bros., which I love, but that format and subseries got stale real quickly.

I've been hopelessly addicted to Spider-man Remastered. It's being murder on my sleep.

GO AWAY PETER PARKER. GOING TO BED AT 8AM IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH MY LIFE OBLIGATIONS.
How not to be a dark lord: the answer to that is a terribly interesting answer that involves an almost Jedi-like adherence to keeping oneself under control and finding ways to be true to yourself in a way that doesn't encourage the worst parts of you to become dangerously exaggerated and instead feeds your better nature. Also, protip: don't fuck with Alchemy or strike up any deals with ancient Japanese Shinigami gods no matter how tempting the deal or how suavely dressed the Shinigami is.
