Subset Mastery#2: Pokemon Red - Professor Oak Challenge. This one was quite interesting. I had to have the maximum possible Pokedex completion before fighting any Gym Leader. Biggest time sinks were the starter and Pidgeot before Brock and Dragonite before Koga. So glad fast-forward was allowed!

I'll be celebrating a birthday today but I should be home at a reasonable time so I can finally start FFX-2 tonight! We're going for 100% on one playthrough and I'll need everyone's prayers.

Mastery #60: Sly 2: Band of Thieves Another childhood classic down! In spite of the set's comments saying this was not a fun time, I had a blast doing this one! There are certainly a few tough challenges, but my experience with this game made it short work! It's also my 2nd-largest completed set!

The gas station I stop by on my way home from work has a personal pepperoni pizza ready just for me every weekday. It's really touching they go through the trouble for me after I asked if they would prep one every morning. A little pizza as a treat is a great way to end the day.

They put out a revision to Spyro the Dragon and I'm honestly relieved there are finally challenges besides 120%. The Spyro sets have been mostly pretty easy, so I've been working on re-mastering this one!

Ever hate the idea I stream only during the middle of the night and need sleep more? Not to worry: I upload all my VODs unedited on a dedicated VOD channel on YouTube. Catch my RetroAchievemets streams here! They're great references for if you've wanted to master a set I've done while live!

So with the one-run mastery of Kirby Super Star tonight and taking a break on Sekiro, Xenogears is now the winner of the sub vote! We'll be playing that as a first playthrough. ...but first I'm really hankering for the Gullwings. Final Fantasy X-2 RetroAchievements starts this weekend!

Mastery #59: Kirby Super Star My all-time favorite Kirby game! This set was quite nice! There were a few very tough ones. Every try the Arena without HEALING? (Use Plasma, you're welcome). I always enjoy this game and the set was tough but fair!

JB @jaybeeretro.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Yeah we're just now wrapping up game night. I'm a little tired, so I'll cancel stream tonight and be back on tomorrow! I may make it an UBER-long stream just to get more through New Game+!

JB @jaybeeretro.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

I finally beat Sekiro! EXCELLENT final boss and endgame bosses! This was such a great playthrough! I am still at 28/34 trophies and a ways into New Game+. So I'll be spending the rest of this weekend finishing the remaining 6 trophies. Just the last ending and skill/Prosthetic grinding!

Hi! Super-secret makeup stream tonight on a rare Friday! I'm finishing up Sekiro's main story and hopefully getting New Game+ started! Come on in and chill/hang out as I lose my marbles on the endgame bosses! twitch.tv/jb_retro

I didn't sleep for beans and I'm already exhausted and hungry and still a little grumpy. I'm gonna take the night off streaming. We *are* at endgame for Sekiro, but I'll save the first playthrough finale next week and knock NG+ out of the way then! Sorry.

Mastery #58: Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly Aw fuck, this game. Personal game feelings aside, this set had some fun challenges. More than I can say about the original trilogy's sets. Even the boss challenge with Ripto wasn't too bad. If you're not an achievement-hunter, stay away from this one. Oog.

I sometimes feel talking about games I love and my achievement-hunting makes me sound annoying and weird to people. I don't assume people are stupid if I talk about a game I like. I get really hard on myself when it even seems like I'm "mansplaining". I just talk and not realize how I come across.

Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly is a flawless masterpiece with no bugs, glitches, or oddities to speak of. What a good game.

This day every year makes me really miss Norm Macdonald's brand of comedy. Dude could spend 10 minutes setting someone up for the most mediocre punchline and it'd be the funniest thing. He also sure reminds me of that tragedy.

Mastery #57: Donald Duck: Goin' Quackers Crash Bandicoot clone here, but that's not a bad thing. It's quite fun, if not particularly hard! Nothing out of 100% here. Time trials are also more manageable than in Crash. I had a good time with this one, even if it's pretty short. It's worth trying!

I don't mind if someone is going through something distressing and needs me to just listen. Don't mistake that as me being ok with them creating their own mess and dragging people I care about into it. If they want to perpetuate their own misery, they can do it alone. Get fucked.
