Alas! I’d love to, but I think the gigantic PS5 will take up all the space in my carryon haha

I do have Persona 3 FES on there, but eeeh I only have 3 weeks with this PS3, and I will *not* finish it. Especially since I have so many other games I’m sampling at the moment.

While I’m dusting off old PlayStations, I ought to boot up the PS3 while I have a chance too. Not sure there’s really anything I want to play on it, though. A round of Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds, I guess? I don’t have many PS3 games at all. I mostly used it for older games

I never understood why they swapped the X and O for cancel and confirm on PlayStation outside of Japan. Supposedly it’s because the maru/batsu meaning is only a Japanese thing, people say, but swapping it doesn’t mean anything outside of Japan either, right? I feel like we’d just have learned.

The great thing about collecting old golf games is that many are dirt cheap. I never tried Hot Shots Golf 3. For $6, I may as well try it.

Celadon @celadon7.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Ooo I didn’t know there was a T&E Soft golf game on the PS2. I just saw Swing Away Golf at a used game store. Might have to give it a try while I’m dusting off the PS2.

Okay so it turns out there’s a Madou Monogatari game on the Vita they called Sorcery Saga. 🤔 It came out on PC later, but as a console gamer, this might be something I’d want to try on Vita. Maybe. I’m amused to see I could get a brand new copy for $80 apparently, but I don’t need that.

Celadon @celadon7.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Now that I’ve got the Vita up and running again, I’ve been looking around for any good Vita games I missed out on, but it seems like everything I’d care about has been ported or rereleased…

Celadon @celadon7.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

I gave up on some RPGs long ago thinking all the progress was lost… Well, I’d probably have to restart now anyway because I sure don’t remember what I was doing.

Celadon @celadon7.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

Well well! While I lost all of my PSP and PS1 saves in my Vita when the memory card corrupted, apparently my actual Vita games’ saves were on the cloud this whole time. I redownloaded Hot Shots Golf WI and was surprised to see everything is as it was like 7(?) years ago. Nice!

Celadon @celadon7.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

Went to a Target for the first time in a year and was dismayed to see the video game section on life support. Still much better than at some other stores, I suppose. Also no DVDs in sight anymore. Alas.

Celadon @celadon7.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

I don’t hate it, but something about it just feels so off to me. I could also try that again to see if I’ve changed my mind since then.

Celadon @celadon7.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

With access to my PS Vita again, I can play one of my favorite golf games, Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee 2! Woo! Weird how no other game in the series has captured the same feeling for me.

It’s funny I went out of my way to buy a fancy voltage converter before moving, but the only thing I ever use it for is charging my 3DS because anything else I care about has a charger that can handle 100-240v. I might as well just get a 240v 3DS charger, but I gotta use this for *something*…

There’s no way Etrian Odyssy V is a decade old now. 😭 I remember buying one of my first Famitsu magazines because I was so hyped to see more previews.

Celadon @celadon7.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

Randomly remembered VG Cats and thought I’d check if it’s still around. Apparently not. Bummer. Checking out an archive now for kicks.

Celadon @celadon7.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

Was hit with DPPT nostalgia again uh oh. Tempting to restart BDSP (even though Platinum is better). Well, I mean, I still have Platinum too. I could literally just restart that again. But nooo I’m already in the middle of like four different Pokemon playthroughs at any given time.

Trying to find info on the comic book shop I went to when I was a kid, & because they closed it in the 90s, the Google A.I. went "Yeah that's a Ghost listing, that place never existed". Even though I have Camcorder footage of me playing Pokemon there in 1999. The future is gonna suck SO hard.

There was that weird time I got really into Japanese hamster sim games for the Game Boy. I must have played like four or five. Couldn’t tell you anything about them.

Celadon @celadon7.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

I’m having so much fun with Dungeon Dice Monsters on GBA. It’s overly complicated without a tutorial, but fortunately for me, I played the “real” game way back when, so I already understand the rules. Flawed in many ways, perhaps, but that’s not stopping me from enjoying it.

Celadon @celadon7.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

The new Rhythm Heaven demo is great. Can’t wait for the full one.

Celadon @celadon7.bsky.social · 15/06/2026

Finally finished DK64 for the first time! 🎉 It was fun! There are some annoying bananas to get, sure, but the game is extremely generous with how many you actually need at 100/201. I finished the game with 138 because I was having fun collecting them anyway.

Celadon @celadon7.bsky.social · 15/06/2026

I never actually finished Donkey Kong 64 as a kid, because Creepy Castle creeped me out. Now that I’m much older, I finally got through it. Not bad at all. In fact, it’s probably the best level in the game. Go figure. Just got the final boss left!

Celadon @celadon7.bsky.social · 13/06/2026

Persona 4 being a hot topic again makes me want to continue where I left off, but I sure don’t remember what on earth I was doing last time I played, and I probably shouldn’t restart an ~80 hour commitment.

Celadon @celadon7.bsky.social · 11/06/2026

So Wrinkly Kong’s hint for Chunky, that I could only access after smashing down an ice wall with him, was that Chunky can smash ice walls. Thanks.

Celadon @celadon7.bsky.social · 10/06/2026

You’ve probably seen the characters in passing or heard some of the music, just not realized it. It’s one of those things that seems niche, but has been monumentally influential. Toby Fox is a fan of the series. You can clearly see that in the bullet hell sections of his games, and other references.

Celadon @celadon7.bsky.social · 10/06/2026

A long-running indie series of bullet-hell shooters with many spinoffs. For about 30 years, Jun’ya “ZUN” Ōta has been making game after game, doing all the graphics, music, and programming himself. Also known for its massive fan community, because ZUN gives his blessing to use the IP pretty freely.

Celadon @celadon7.bsky.social · 10/06/2026

The more I think about it, the wilder it seems that they didn’t include the Touhou game in the Direct outside Japan. First I thought it was just my bias, but it’s a pretty big deal, isn’t it? Surely they could have afforded a little bit of time to it. It was by far the best announcement.

Social media is full of horrors and designed to drive people insane and generate arguments, but on the other hand it lets me keep in touch with my friends from other places and talk to the devs of my literal favorite games of all time, so that’s cool!

I was going to make a joke about Donkey Kong 3’s numbering, then remembered there *is* a Donkey Kong II. It’s a Game & Watch game!

Celadon @celadon7.bsky.social · 08/06/2026

The NSO Classics being arranged as they are with varying box sizes instead of uniform icons is funny. I do appreciate the box art being shown, but it looks so strange. Not a real issue, but I do like how sleek the N64 selections look so far because everything fits neatly. NES is a total mess.

Celadon @celadon7.bsky.social · 07/06/2026

Oh wow, never thought I’d see Masters ‘98 on my feed! I’m fond of it. Feels exactly like Waialae Country Club, but with a different course and music.

Celadon @celadon7.bsky.social · 04/06/2026

DK64 having widescreen support in 1999 was wild. I was always impressed by the foresight in Banjo-Tooie, but I didn’t know or forgot Rare did it even earlier too.

Celadon @celadon7.bsky.social · 04/06/2026

As with last time, I’m having fun with DK64 so far. I like the first two levels a lot. I almost 100% cleared Jungle Japes with DK and Diddy, but I’m missing 5 bananas with the latter… now’s when it gets annoying. :p

Celadon @celadon7.bsky.social · 03/06/2026

Looking forward to giving DK64 another try. I never finished it as a kid. I watched some retrospectives, and one observation stuck out to me: it all makes more sense if you view each level as five levels with the same theme stacked on top of each other. I’ll try to think of it that way.

Celadon @celadon7.bsky.social · 31/05/2026

So I’m definitely not done with FFXIV permanently or anything! Just saying I finally have time to play my other games. This is a good thing.

Celadon @celadon7.bsky.social · 31/05/2026

I’ve been playing FFXIV almost daily for half a decade, but I’m finally kind of done for a bit. It’s not like I’m burnt out, it’s just there’s not much for me to do this patch cycle. I’ve accomplished pretty much everything I “really” want to do, so I just log in for my weekly alliance raid loot.

Pikmin 4’s main campaign was okay, but the postgame Olimar’s Shipwreck Tales? Now this is cool. It’s like a reimagining of Pikmin 1 with the new stuff. Collect 30 parts in only 15 days, using only the original three Pikmin (and the dog). No caves, just remixed outdoor levels. How fun.

Celadon @celadon7.bsky.social · 17/05/2026

Like some of the games are *fine*, but even the good ones are just okay, really. Like, you’ll survive if you don’t get to try Wario Land VB. My takeaway is, I’m glad I finally get to experience Jack Bros, but I’m also glad I didn’t drop a ton of money on it a few years ago.
