I've recently played through Lost Records: Bloom & Rage. Such a good story, it hit me right in the feels. But it did drag on at parts for the first 5 or 6 hours and I almost wanted to just move on to another game, but I'm glad I didn't because the remainder of the game was good and I would've missed the story payoff. I recommend this if you enjoyed Life Is Strange (same devs/writers).

Currently I'm playing The Evil Within. I've already played this in 2017 but barely remember anything about it, so I thought I should revisit it before I play the sequel for the first time. But since I remember so little of this game it is like playing for the first time...again. Originally I beat it on PS4 but now I'm playing the PS4 version on a PS5 console, and the game gives a warning each time you boot it up because the game may behave unexpectedly when played on PS5, and I've already had the game crash on me once early on, I'm hoping it doesn't happen again because I don't have the patience to deal with it.

I'm still playing The Evil Within, but I don't get why this game has such a following. There's a lot of things it could've done better, and a lot of other games have done better already. The main character as well, he gives you little reason to care about him and whether he lives or dies.

Besides that, on Sunday I bought a Switch 2 after selling a bunch of my retro game collection and making quite a bit more money from them than I was expecting. I'm not much of a retro gamer (as technology advances quickly I don't like wasting time looking back, and a lot of the games I grew up playing are not fun to me anymore) so these games were never going to get played again by me anyway, so I figured I might as well get rid of them.
I was kind of surprised how easy it was to get a Switch 2 and that it only took me one attempt of just walking into a GameStop and asking if they had any in stock. Despite that, I really didn't want a Switch 2 yet, but I felt like I had to get one in case they increase the price at some point. It took until today for me to finally open it and play it, and I started up Mario Kart World. It's pretty fun, but that is nothing new because Mario Kart games generally are good. The Joy-Cons on Switch 2 are so much better than the ones on the older Switch, those ones were just too small and felt like they were made for children.
With trips to the hospital I have to take every 6 weeks for an infusion, I look forward to bringing this along to keep me busy.

It's a slow but very complex game and I'm really liking it so far. If they fix the graphics glitches and a few bugs I might even buy it. (always try before you buy)

I plan on getting a Switch 2 in a couple months. I’m saving up to get one.

Finished Easy Delivery Co. today. Cozy game but a bit underwhelming. Can’t say I found everything, one aspect just seemed incredibly difficult to even engage in for some reason that I just don’t care enough to try and figure out. I liked most of my time with it but the disappointing aspects were enough to make me not want to follow through on anything I missed or go back to it.

Had been playing both Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot and Baby Steps prior to this. The PC port of Shantae Advance as well. DBZ I was simply burnt out on since it’s such a long game, already 40 hours in I think and only part way through Cell saga, not engaging with everything but trying to do most side quests at least. Plan to go back to that eventually. Baby Steps I had been enjoying mostly up until this desert area, and the gimmick of slightly different shaded slopes being just impossible to walk up has been a bit infuriating in realizing just how linear it is making the experience. I sort of rage quit, maybe one day I’ll try again but it really soured it for me unfortunately. Lastly I’d already beat Shantae on my DS but wanted to see the new costumes, so just not much motivation to beat it again.

At this point I’m not sure if I’m gonna take a break for a bit, go back to DBZ, or find some new game. I have Hotel Barcelona but for some reason my PC doesn’t seem to be handling it well…either that or it just doesn’t run well in general considering many Swery games don’t have a great track record.

I started playing this Quantumpulse 2A game. It's pretty cool assembly-language style frustration simulator material, but I think I only got to the fifth level. Apparently you have to get really good at sending coded clock signals around your phantom chips so they can all synchronize and work together. It's hard.

Also started playing another one that I can't mention here, because the language has a swear in it. Let's call it "Brainfart Challenge" and you can fill in the blanks

Have set my mind on finishing Skyrim

Been streaming DOOM (1993)

You've got good taste. Doom never gets old!

I've been kind of 'snacking' on this one for the past few months. It's basically a geometry puzzle in Lua, you just kind of fiddle around with your numbers a bit until you build an exact replica of the target cube. Feels just like fiddling around with a Rubik's cube, with all of the frustration of the original
