I felt like I missed a chapter since so much stuff happened off-screen, but was it awesome! Can't believe there's a break next week :(

I’m not sure there’s enough there to suggest it’s because it’s a physical release. The game sold well on all fronts. But the fact it is a physical release and entirely on the cart does score free points.

Yeah I’m about 2 levels under what they’re giving me. I did try one but got stomped haha. But in fairness it was a pretty difficult one even at the right level.

It’s not really a complaint though. I’m enjoying it! I’d just love to have more optional side paths I guess.

Making slow progress in Splatoon Raiders. I only manage a 20 minute session or so at a time. Just upgraded up my base to level 2 and got a bunch of new upgrades to obtain. Wish the game opened up more missions though! The missions I have are exceeding my level meaning I have to replay some again, rather than pushing further in.

I’ve spent most of my time playing Terraria this week (on PC) though as I started a new playthrough. I started with an expert world before finding it too difficult and going back to normal.

I did also buy the Xenoblade Chronicles 2 upgrade pack on a whim. I’m in the middle of a new playthrough with that too but progress is going very slow. It’s getting the least of my playtime atm.

Universe was a step back imo but it really became its own thing later on. PSP2/Infinity is perhaps my all time favourite game.

I’d love for them to do a remaster at some point. But Sega seem to care less about that IP…

I keep trying it out every once in a while but the game feels really shallow to me. Wish they’d spend more time fleshing out existing systems instead of adding new ones that exist in isolation.

However I admire his passion and it amazes me they’re still pushing updates. I love seeing what each update brings even if just ain’t for me.

I was a a huge PSO fan and would religiously check for news on a PSO2 release. Sega then went quiet for several years and by the time it came to the West, I had already moved on. Did try it out though and was overwhelmed by the monetisation stuff and ditched it. It felt like a successor in name only.

I rarely touch my switch these days since games are mostly outside what I’m willing to pay. I did pick up Splatoon Raiders though which I’m playing now. The gameplay loop is pretty fun and perfect for my short play times!

Xbox One. Everytime I booted it up to feed the Halo crave, there’d be an update that took like an hour. Finally get on… Halo needs to update. 1 hour later, I’ve lost interest.

Repeat 6+ months later.

Not looking forward to the next GE. With a foreign partner, if they start changing the rules for those with indefinite leave we’ll have to reconsider if we remain here. But I won’t exactly blame the people who vote Reform either. Labour aren’t exactly giving people much hope. Feels like there’s nobody I can personally vote for right now outside of a tactical vote.

As gaming becomes more and more expensive I’ve found myself going back to retro. Just ain’t enough money left after everything else has gone up to spend on gaming anymore.

I’m so happy to see vaping receive the similar treatment as smoking. I still don’t know why people thought it was acceptable to blow fumes into others faces. Even had it while carrying my kid. Some people…
