Carrie Fernandez holding her Tax Day flowers, signifying a successful filing of her Form 1040.
Had a fun time racing CV64 Carrie Edition last week, but I think the Reinhardt struggle was a lot funnier. Been pretty focused on Princess All Levels runs lately, but this will prob be the last week of it? Will just try and get that done, along with struggling in Fire 'n Ice puzzlers #pastebinmonday
Yep Floigan's a masterpiece - just don't go for 100% like I did . . .
Finally played Floigan Bros, it was (mostly) a masterpiece. Also got a 22 in Princess NES All Levels, that run wasn't a masterpiece and I'll try to improve it this week. I think the CV64 Carrie race with LCC is happening this Wednesday? Guess we'll see... #ClaudeGameReviews #pastebinmonday
The wrestler mask treasure in Wario: Master of Disguise, a clear reference to Suda51's hit video game "Killer7".
Got all treasures in Master of Disguise - sadly, it wasn't very fun. Obnoxious touchscreen controls, a poorly designed hundo, and blowing into the mic to fly was cursed. At least we got Mask de Wario? Mostly speedruns this week, with an epik 1-day casual on Friday. #ClaudeGameReviews #pastebinmonday
Completing Lost Vikings for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System! (Also I played the 5 Genesis-exclusive levels after).
Wario platformers are always good, this one included... right?
Lost Vikings playthrough was great - had a lot more funny memes than I remember. KSS derust is going well, Prin Prin focus will now be on NES All Levels (finally no more Any%). This week's casual will be Wario: Master of Disguise to complete my journey through all Wario platformers! #pastebinmonday
A happy "The End" in Miyamoto's Pikmin for the Nintendo GameCube.
Played through Pikmin 1 for the first time in 20 years last week - had a great time, Miyamoto cooked hard for sure. Felt like the way I approached the game was pretty funny. This week will be more Prin Prin, more KSS forever prac, and a Lost Vikings 1 playthrough. #pastebinmonday #ClaudeGameReviews
Prin Prin Dog Dog going to market dressed as a commoner in the hit PSX video game "Tail Concerto".
Played through Tail Concerto last week, a game with great art & sound design, but mediocre gameplay. Also got a 7:53 in SMB2 All-Stars Any% Princess Only, local's here: youtu.be/HsukHWPa9Mk This week will be No S&Q Prin Prin, more KSS derust, and a GC casual. #pastebinmonday
Sad to hear. Hope you and your family can recover alright.
Wario living in his best possible castle, resting up until it's time to boot Master of Disguise.
Played through 100% of Wario World last week. Interesting game - was cool to move Wario in 3D, but the excessive combat (a Treasure staple) was definitely taxing at times. This week will be more Prin Prin, more KSS derust, and 1 or 2 more casuals (probably PSX?) #pastebinmonday #ClaudeGameReviews
There are two Goemon RPGs for Game Boy Color that have never been translated. I created tools that will be useful for translating these games (if anyone is ever interested in doing so). You can read more about it here:

Finished Island of Happiness last week - easily the worst Story of Seasons game I've ever played, and one of the worst games I've streamed period. Read more about it here: pastebin.com/8dZBmHTr
This week will be random stuff - prob Prin Prin RTA, some KSS derust, & a shorter casual #pastebinmonday
My speedrun tutorial for the Any% run of "The Mask" is officially up (has timestamps and other useful links): youtu.be/UXjctKPFhoM | This week will just be more Island of Happiness gaming (it finally got interesting after we built that 2nd bridge ! !) #pastebinmonday
Damn, hope things get better soon for you and your family.
Getting past the third door of Field 27 in Umihara Kawase Shun after 5+ hours and being rewarded with a "JACK POT".
I know the portable Harvest Moon games haven't been great, but this one? It'll fix everything...
Mask tutorial went well, will get it uploaded on my main YT this week. Umihara Kawase Shun has been very challenging, but we'll get through it (I hope). The next Harvest Moon game, Island of Happiness, will begin as soon as its finished - hopefully it's a succinct playthrough . . . #pastebinmonday
Saving Cameron Diaz in "The Mask" for the Super Nintendo in 6 minutes, 36 seconds.
I got 6:36 in The Mask last week! Final running for now - can def be improved, but just happy the last two bosses finally went well. Will do a live tutorial for the game tomorrow to explain all the tech. Local Record: youtu.be/GLQiiUdc6KM | Live VOD: youtu.be/tWqme4sMQDY #pastebinmonday
Very unexpectedly Konami has announced a Goemon collection, coming July 2nd 2026. Actually seeing them acknowledge Goemon in a serious way is pretty surprising to see. This release is even labeled as a 40th anniversary release. The Fami, SFC, and GB(C) games are included. www.konami.com/games/goemon
Nah, I didn't really mind much. When doing hundo, you're also forced into a bonus game each time to win extra lives (not a super meaningful reward), but it wasn't really a big deal. Prob one of those things you'd only notice in a race setting.
Getting 100% in Mario vs. Donkey Kong for the GBA. I did all the e-Reader levels afterwards, too!
Getting a 6:39 in The Mask for the Super Nintendo - but it's still not a 6:37 . . .
Mario vs. Donkey Kong was alright - had some okay puzzles & funny voice acting. Also PB'd 8 whole times in The Mask last week, ending with a 6:39... but, I still want to keep doing runs :) More of that this week, as well as a first play of a GBC game about a certain half-genie . . 🧞♀️ #pastebinmonday
I remembered my mantra and didn't have negative thoughts
No PBs in The Mask last week, but made a lot of progress on understanding more about the game. Also played through Croc 1, Faxanadu, and finished The Humans. Faxanadu was cool, the others not so much. This week is more Mask runs, as well as Mario fighting Donkey Kong on the GBA #pastebinmonday
Week 1 of Year of No Plans went great! Did a lot of Mask runs and made good progress on The Humans (a jank puzzle game). Here's my latest Mask PB, still want to improve it to around a 6:42 or so: www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1wL... This week will be a casual game or two + some more runs #pastebinmonday
Finished all the 2025 review stuff last week. This pastebin should cover the details of everything (too lazy for a sorted tier list this year): pastebin.com/XxdiwcC3 2026, The Year of No Plans, Good Games Only, and Getting More Sleep, can now finally begin ! ! #pastebinmonday #ClaudeGameReviews
Happy 2026! In 2025, I drew a picture during Melty Mondays every single week, which was a pretty fun challenge. You can find all of them here, to share with friends & family: photos.app.goo.gl/WYgthtA6aFMv... This week will be the speedrun & kuso reviews, oh boy . . . #pastebinmonday
Goemon DS is the last "real" Goemon game before they went full pachinko.
Holiday Sonics have concluded - enjoyed Sonic 1, Sonic Advance 3, and Sonic 3D Blast. Started Wario Land: Shake It! on Thursday, that game's fantastic. Should finish up the hundo tomorrow, then we'll journey through Goemon DS for New Year's Eve. #pastebinmonday #ClaudeGameReviews
New movie published! Go and see N64 Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine "all story levels" by Bovice in 45:23.500

Steam Recap 2025. There sure was a lot of late-night UNI2 with pant...
Some rough 2D Sonic games on the 'ol stream last week, but looking to finish them up by Wednesday. On Thursday, I'll start a game that will save Christmas. Also, here's my Steam recap (Super Touhou RPG wasn't counted). Finally, it's a few days early, but - Merry Holidays!! 🎄 #pastebinmonday
Wait a minute... cows can't fly... COWS CAN'T FLY ! !
Played through Milano's Odd Job Collection last week, an official localization of a 1999 PS1 game. It's cute for sure, but it suffers a lot from lack of content and replay value. This week will be more 2D Sonic 1st plays, and more Mask RTA. #ClaudeGameReviews #pastebinmonday
Twitch Recap 2025 (Viewer)
Twitch Recap 2025 (Streamer)
Twitch recap time. Viewer version was again dominated by who streams while I'm awake & not streaming. For streamer, my 3rd game was the fake one I set for FFXIII-2 & LR last year. Plans for this week are 2D Sonic first plays, The Mask RTA, and The Claude Awards on Thursday. #pastebinmonday
Star Ocean: The Second Story R and Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology will fix everything in 2026!
SO5's post-game sealed its fate as a wack game, sadly. The 2026 games will fix everything, though! For tri-Aces streamed, ranking is now VP2 > VP1 > SO4 > LR > [Power Gap] > FFXIII-2 > Radiata = SO1 FDR > SO5. Snatcher & Sonic 1 this week? #pastebinmonday #ResonanceOfFateNovember
A barney from "Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness" wishing you a happy Thanksgiving!
Star Ocean 5's been alright - seems like it has some cool ideas, but execution's been a little questionable. Might finish it this week? Oh, and since I usually only post on Mondays - happy Thanksgiving! (early) #pastebinmonday #ResonanceOfFateNovember
This was required for one of the achievables.
It will fix everything, bros.
Finished writing up my thoughts on running the FFT Remaster: pastebin.com/da1ke5FP Overall, wasn't a fan. SO1 FDR has been okay, should finish it tomorrow. Star Ocean 5 will be after that - it'll fix everything and be the perfect SO game #pastebinmonday #ResonanceOfFateNovember
It's good for a one time playthrough, but don't go for hundo (or if you do, use a guide).
