My sister practically begged me to buy a Switch 2 and Pokopia. We’ve had a great time showing each other our progress each week and will eventually do some group building projects together.

Got credits roll in Pokopia the other night and forgot to post here. This is definitely the kind of game that steals all my time even after I “beat” it lol.

We’ve been catching some friends up on Stampede so I am also basically waiting for Stargaze to be finished lmao

I thought I was about to wipe so I was just spamming attack and a tiny punch from the black wizard was the killing blow.

Final Fantasy 1 complete. Definitely an old game but glad I pushed through. Felt I was over leveled until the final boss (took a few tries and understanding temper stacks lol).

A deadly encounter on the streets of 21st Century Kyoto in the wake of devastation from an earthquake that also unleashed a horde of demons - and magic back into the world.

A point-and-click and RPG hybrid that received an English translation in 2019.

Peak fit, damn

thinking about the funniest joke ever put into a video game again

I’m also in Oregon and I have my sister’s dslr at the moment so I’ll be setting it up on a tripod once I get home.

The meme has two people with one telling the other one "I like your pride shirt" The shirt has a quest 64 logo and the Castlevania motorcycle skeletons

I really need to get my OCs out of my head and onto paper someday lmao

vertical shmups have names like "Understated Sadness" and sidescrolling shmups have names like "Glorbian"

Also many hours went to Silksong but I did not beat it by the end of the year.

Little gaming outside of Saturday nights this year as a good chunk of my free time went to game dev.

Act 3 is hard… I don’t want to say I’ve dropped it yet but I haven’t played since November.

I want to get back to this so we will see.

Ending screen to Dragonsweeper, beat in 32 minutes, 1 second.

Group Dragonsweeper playthrough tonight. Excellent little game!

present of all time

Ending screen for Save the Date.

Friend threw me a short adventure vn called Save the Date! and I played through it today. I can see why it left an impression on him. It seems it was a finalist for a couple different awards years ago but I wonder how well known it is these days.

Friend got his Analogue 3D in the mail today and promptly sent this to the group discord
@quest64official.bsky.social

Oh, should mention I did not get the secret ending for Act 2. Did not know about it til after I couldn’t do it anymore. Miiiiight go back and do another run at some point.

Got both endings for Act 2 and started Act 3. I did basically everything I could before the final fight on the recommendation of a couple different friends. I… now understand why lol.

Retail is the worst. My current job isn’t what I ultimately want to do long term but it’s not retail and I am glad for that.

Slay the Princess was a fun time. One of the folks sitting in had played before and the routes were nearly all different to his experience.

Sidenote, been listening to The Magnus Archives for the first time so unexpected Jonathan Sims jump scare. His va work here was fantastic as expected.

1. Team Rocket Grunt (Pokemon)
2. Cat in mech suit (Gato Robato)
3. Frieren (Frieren)
4. Penny (Big Top Burger)
5. Grunkle Stan (Gravity Falls)
6. I haven't read a webcomic in forever except yours soooo Irie (Elemental Soup)
7. Wallace (Scott Pilgrim)

And Expedition 33 complete! What a game.
