Hades 2 is 30% off. I'm tempted. 🙃

Honestly, this game sounds super lovely. I'm nervous about how short it is (even with replayibility), but at the same time it sounds so special, like it shouldn't be missed. Anyways, article is great and worth a read. 👇

Game #46: name a relatively recent game that child you would love. What game from today's time would you take back so 👶🫵 could enjoy? 😊 BUT answer aphabetically in A-Z order! (so 👀 at the furthest comment & answer w/ a game that begins w/ the next letter A-Z). 🎮 #gamingsky #gqotd #AZaskDatvi

Pink text says: Game #46

Can y'all believe that we have done 46 A-Z challenges? Crazy right?

Had that bum out moment where a job I applied to, had an interview with, semi-ghosted me to where I emailed them asking if there were any updates, told I wasn't selected... ...well that exact same job was reposted on the 28th. Just applied again. 😮‍💨 Well, going to play some Witcher III because 🤷

Random Game of the Day Day 617 - The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom My favorite LoZ game on the Switch. This perfectly meshes the classic dungeon exploring gameplay with the new BotW/TotK ability of solving puzzles in different ways. And to think this released only a year after TotK!

So barely had time yesterday, but remembered how much I like Geralt as a character. He's witty, got sass, weirdly he kind of makes me think if Zagreus from Hades were more old man gritty (they have similar energies). + Forgot how much I like the little investigations. Lore is rich in the Witcher. 😊

Don’t think I ever gave my final thoughts on Fields of Mistria, so posting it now. It does so much right for the genre. Great characters with expansive dialogue. Well thought-out design across most fronts. Constantly something to do. One significant issue aside, it’s great. 8.5 out of 10

So minor rant/vent incoming... so if you don't want to see that, that's A-Ok 👍 TL;DR version: I'm just tired and frustrated with job searching and I hate it. So I've been stewing a bit... right around this time marks about a year of trying to find a job and not succeeding. 🙁 And I just, why - -

This is very informative of the first game. While the grind/esoteric nature of crafting + NPCs didn't ruffle my feathers as much, it's definitely something to keep in mind (not a lot of QoL in this entry). The second game might have a whole nother level of grind 😂, so just be mindful b4 you buy. 😊

So, Castlevania turns 40 today. Games are my favorite pastime, and I’m passionate about many franchises, but only Castlevania brings me this unparalleled comfort when I play it. This franchise means a lot to me. These characters, the music, this world... I'm grateful to be able to experience them.

Oh yeah, this is going to be a banger. I thought the controls would be horrible somehow but it's actually really intuitive. It's like some of the older SNES top down action games but faster. Probably going to like this one.

Fire Emblem Fortune's Weave Spoilers: Finished my first route!! 🎉 It was epic, fun, interesting. I'm really loving everything about this game so far. Lets see if it can sustain that momentum through three more characters and then some. (I think it can 😊) Also, Leda = intense. 👍

So one thing I love about social media (BSky): when you make something that you want to proliferate, and it actually does spread a good amount, it feels pretty darned cool (+ it is fun). 😎 Doesn't have to hit every corner of the internet, but just seeing it hop around between friends is nifty. 😊

#21: Astral Ascent I first reviewed this almost 3 years ago. It went free on Epic recently, and a few mutuals were speaking about it, so I figured I would revisit it to see what's changed. Well, now I have a shiny new Platinum trophy. I highly recommended it back then and recommend it again now.
