Let’s fuck this thing!

Beautiful things are happening in Deadlock right now.

Not sure that counts as a single word, but I do love to instigate so I’ll take it.

Just met the homie voiced by Dio in Sakura Wars 2. Very fun to hear Koyasu at this point in time. No matter how old he is, he always had that baritone voice, huh?

Current first impressions of the new Sea of Stars expansion could be better.

6. Dreams of Aether Cute little WarioWare-esque game! It's funny that this is where the money from cosmetics went. Also the constant Absa teasing is totally just ramping up to her being the final of the first four DLC characters, right? 7/10

My fellow Sumire Squadmates, I once again ask for your help. If we vote for Sakura to stay behind, Sumire might still have a shot at being in top 3. You know what must be done.

5. Steven Universe (Future) (Also The Movie) I only finished Future this year but fuck it. With hindsight and being able to watch it all uninterrupted, this is an incredible show, up there with ATLA. 2010s Tumblr didn't deserve it. So mad no one back then told me how funny this series is. 10/10

4. Fire Emblem: The Sacred Echoes Fantastic demake, feels almost too good to be true. Immaculate presentation, fixes most problems I had with Gaiden and Echoes's game and map design, fixes some... egregious problems with the writing. There are flaws for sure, but that's for another post. 9/10

3. Mother 3 (replay) This was my favorite game for a really long time, and playing through it again with my fiancée as a fresh pair of eyes really reminded me why. I last beat the game 9 years ago, when I was barely an adult, and I think tons of things hit harder now, especially the end. 10/10

Yes excellent

2. Slayers X: Terminal Aftermath: Vengance of the Slayer Didn't mean for the second piece of media to also be Hypnospace-related but here we are! It's a wonderfully cheesy game with good gameplay and levels. It's a great character study for Zane and has legit neat ideas for FPS mechanics. 8/10

Wonder how many likes I'll get. I have quite the extensive backlog lol

Losing my shit at the character Adam Howden voices in Metaphor

ooga booga

My mood for the evening.

1. Hypnospace Outlaw I actually bought and played most of this game back in 2020 after I saw Vinny play it. I got stuck in the final act not knowing how to progress but did manage to finally finish it. It's a delight all around, equal parts funny, sincere, and heartfelt. Glad I went back. 9/10

My cat has a bowtie now. This is insane.

VIRTUA FIGHTER 5 DOESN’T HAVE RACIST NETCODE ANYMORE
