Tuning in to the Artemis II livestream tonight was so cool. I only got to see bits and pieces, but I’m really glad I watched what I could

I just realized I did something really stupid earlier before work…

I went to go delete some stuff in my Abe’s Oddysee album, but accidentally selected the PS5 trophy album instead.

All of my platinum screenshots and videos are gone 😭

Socials is the only record proof I have that I earned them now…

Platinum No. 174 & 175 - Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee PS4/PS5

Honestly, I am so grateful for the rewind feature in this emulation, because otherwise this can be a pretty tough game. The controls took some getting used to, but weren’t uncomfortable.

This is a pretty unique game imo

Platinum No. 173 - Celeste

Sorry the footage looks slower than it’s supposed to be. I had to turn down the game’s speed just so I could focus on the platforming

Platinum No. 172 - Returnal

I spent over 100 hours on the plat.

Ugh

Platinum No. 171 - Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection

Still bummed out that I only get one platinum for doing the work of two games

Nah I felt the same way. The jumping felt incredibly stiff and floaty, and something about the gameplay just felt so slow compared to the first game.

I’ve been playing the Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves collection. Just wrapped up The Lost Legacy.

Never. Not once in all my years of trophy hunting have I ever laid witness to a platinum trophy being demoted to a gold trophy 💔

As far as I’m concerned, it’s still a platinum to me

Reached the 8000 lifetime trophies milestone ✌️

I just reached a brand new high score on the Onin mini-game in Jak II. It would take a lot of effort for me break this record again 😅

Platinum No. 169 & 170 - PAC-MAN World Re-PAC PS4 & PS5

Merry Christmas everyone!
Peace be with you ✌️🎄🎁

Got some more games to add to my growing physical PS5 collection

Just found out that Jim Ward passed away.

Rest in Peace to the man behind Captain Qwark

My PlayStation 2025 wrap-up.

I’m going to make my own wrap-up by year’s end because the year isn’t over yet, but I’d say I had pretty good progress this year.

My favorite games this year were Astro Bot, The Last Guardian, Akimbot, and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart

Happy Halloween everyone! 🎃

My review of Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. Enjoy ✌️

I fully finished my time with Rift Apart.

Main playthrough ✔️
Challenge Mode ✔️
Every Omega Weapon maxed out✔️
All armor sets ✔️
All 25 Gold Bolts ✔️
All 9 Craiggerbears ✔️
Platinum Trophy ✔️

I had fun 😊

Platinum No. 168 - Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart

Next game

Platinum No. 167 - Final Fantasy (Pixel Remaster)

My revisit of Ghost of Tsushima is complete. The base game and the Iki Island DLC are done. I guess all that’s left for me is NG+ now, but I don’t want to burn myself out. I’ll do that on another day.

Found these wall paintings of Sly Cooper and inFAMOUS in Ghost of Tsushima’s Iki Island DLC

Platinum No. 166 - Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut (PS5)

5 years later, and it’s still a work of art. On to the Iki Island Expansion. Can’t wait for Ghost of Yōtei

My review of Final Fantasy VII.

Enjoy

What were your thoughts on the Junction system? I hear most players didn’t like it

Platinum No. 165 - Final Fantasy VII (1997)

I…I did it.
