I’m so completely out of the loop regarding Love Live. I watched the first anime back in the day, it was cute and all, and I’m vaguely aware of the Sunshine group. I was surprised to learn there was a third one a couple years ago(?) and it just occurred to me there are probably multiple more since.

Finished Viera I never posted here~

I got the Pikmin 4 avatar from a choco egg! Cute! Though I’m the Pikmin equivalent of a genwunner, I like the new stuff besides Oatchi, really.

I forgot how to play Sky Kid.

We couldn’t just not walk through the door when we saw that? lmao #etrianodyssey #eo2

If I hold the Switch up to my face and slowly move it away, I can adjust my focus to merge the two screens and play Virtual Boy games in 3D without accessories. On a surely unrelated note, I have a headache.

Oh good, there’s a $10 third party VR headset for Switch. I’ll just try that.

Tiny Dog Has Been Barking Nonstop For 6 Years

Still, I never thought I’d get another chance to play Virtual Boy games again after mine broke. Kinda neat. I do want the headset eventually tbh.

Well, Virtual Boy on Switch works as I expected. You technically don’t need an accessory… but you can’t play in docked mode, and the two screens are tiny. You can focus on one in handheld mode (or try to cross your eyes I guess), but it’s not comfortable for long. Extremely disappointing but ah well

The Endfield ad I keep getting about $30K confuses me because I looked into it and it’s apparently referencing an inside meme you’d have to already know, so how would it entice new players? And yet. I looked into it, didn’t I? So well played. It’s also catchy… I was already thinking on trying it hmm

a neighbor set up this werewolf for halloween and instead of taking it down they just update it with seasonal outfit changes. now it’s dressed for valentine’s day and holding a sign with a picture of bad bunny and his super bowl slogan. i love him.

I can’t wait to find out if I can actually play the Virtual Boy Switch games tomorrow without the accessory or not…

Okay?????? #EO2

I’ve pumped almost all points into Strength Up on my ronin so she can unlock the evasion skills. I’m on the second floor now, and she still has no other moves. She’s absurdly stronger than the rest of the party, though. It’s great. She can do nothing else but extremely powerful normal attacks. #eo2

EO2 was my first and favorite Etrian Odyssey, but I don’t remember the giant cactus things on F2. God. I was grinding against butterflies, then this huge thing appears. I go “What the hell is that?” out loud. It slugs my ronin and kills her in one hit. Terrifying lmao

Etrian Odyssey II is a really funny game the way it shows contempt for you having played the first one.

ngl I’ve managed to avoid Dangan Ronpa for this long but the recent memes have made me want to try it.

I want to clarify that I looked up translation differences because it’s fun and interesting, not because I’m complaining about them.

In Luigi's Mansion, revisiting the Bottom of the Well after watching the cutscene with King Boo causes Mario to be very faintly heard yelling "Eh Luigi! What's the hold-up-a?!" in the background, which is easy to miss unless playing the game on maximum volume.

Speaking of Paper Mario religious references, I found “focus” odd even as a kid. Mario clearly clasps his hands in prayer. I see it’s “negau” in Japanese, which could indeed be “pray,” but I’m actually surprised they didn’t go with “wish.” The star spirits grant wishes! It would have been perfect.

When they mentioned the Crystal Palace used to be a place to worship Star Spirits in Paper Mario, I looked up the Japanese name because I figured they censored that it’s a temple, like in Zelda II. I was right, but more interestingly, it’s called “Crystar” Temple. Why not keep the wordplay?

Eliza's all rigged up and ready to strike dramatic poses thanks to the very talented @detectonomicon.bsky.social And incidentally, we are both open to commissions! #gamedev #IndieGame #IndieDev #PixelArt #Horror #godot

I actually intended to start EO2 HD like a few months back, and even started the file, but played something else because I couldn’t think of a name for the last party member. Not joking. I’ll have to plan ahead if I want to try that again.

everytime i see pictures of pre-calamity coerthas, it just looks like the art on the tension tamer label

I’m going into Etrian Odyssey withdrawal soon. After finishing 1HD, I figured I’d take a break before playing more. Enough time has passed now though. Either 2HD or restarting 5 is tempting.

Maybe it’s just because I know it like the back of my hand, but Paper Mario seems shorter than I remember. In my memory, it’s like a 40+ hour epic, but I just got the fifth star spirit after like 15 hours.

For some reason, I’ve been “nostalgic” for that NES period of Nintendo I didn’t even experience. I’ve been reading the Valiant LoZ comics. I like their take on Hyrule. It uses the designs of the cartoon, but Link is significantly less annoying.

After a few days with Cladun x3, I’m enjoying it. The premise is silly and doesn’t take itself seriously. Fun dungeoneering. The magic circle system seems a little convoluted, and I don’t care for tweaking it after each foray, but it’s also novel.

I got this cute miniature Last Bronx cabinet from a gachapon machine! The (faux) screen lights up!

My phone battery is finally doing that thing where it rapidly drains throughout the day. How am I at 39% at 2pm? C’est la vie.

the poor sick kid who got this...

i think we all need to step back and realize that peak art was made when neolithic pot in the shape of a pig was fired

I absolutely HATE how member videos on Youtube get pushed to people's feed. I could make a video called "Complete bullshit you shouldn't pay for" & Youtube would put it in recommended with a big "YOU HAVE TO PAY TO SEE THIS VIDEO" message next to it. Thankfully I have separate channels but damn.

Paper Mario for N64 was released on this day in North America, 25 years ago (2001) #retro #art #gaming #PaperMario

Fifth Gen

New outfit is cutes.

Also, regarding that Japan-only Mystical Ninja collection: I had no idea there were *13* Goemon games across the FC, SFC, and GB holy cow. I would have guess like half that at most.

So is it just me who didn’t know Bomberman II exists? Like, I thought it went Bomberman, then Super Bomberman. I have never heard anyone talk about the second one either. When they said it’s in the collection, I thought “oh cool, previously unreleased Famicom game.” Nope! It came to NA in 1993?

I was about to type a thing about how Mario Wonder is my biggest Switch regret, but I guess that’s not true. I’ve played worse shovelware. But for major games, I found it disappointing. It’s not even bad. I had some fun. But I get burnt out quickly.

They’re doing Switch icons of the Legends ZA NPCs now. I didn’t miss Jacinthe or Lebanne yet, right? Once those drop, you *know* I have to use one of them.

I love seeing old screenshots of horse racing games I’ve played. My horse names are immaculate. I may not remember Mario Party Gaiden, but I made him a champion.

Happy Valentione’s! #lofiartparty #ffxiv

Best seasonal event we’ve had in a long time! Fun minigame, catchy new remixes, surprising cameos, and tons of rewards! My group was so close to finishing all five cakes. We just missed the top layer! #FFXIV

Yep

On top of the Zelda cartoon only having 13 episodes, each one is only 15 minutes long. I always saw previews back in the day… maybe I’ll actually watch the show.

As far from perfect as Pokémon Scarlet and Violet are, I think people acting like they're the worst video games ever sold is a pretty good litmus test for if they've ever played anything under a 6/10 or anything other than Pokémon

Maybe I’ll try something on my 3DS backlog.
