iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I need to yap about Infinity Train again. ...once I finish rewatching all four seasons.

This game might not be for everyone. The difficulty alone will do that for a lot. However, if you are a big Metroidvania fan, you will likely love this game. In spite of its sheer difficulty, if you can adapt, what you will find here will be worth your time. 2026 is off to a blazing start.

The game's story is also worth noting. Exploring what happened to the Vessel, where the Travelers are, why most of the robots have gone rogue and why the Voices are not responding are all the driving forces behind the game, and unfolding each one leads to big revelations.

This game is gorgeous to look at, even in the destruction, decay, and ruin wrought on the Vessel. Beauty in devastation and all that. And the soundtrack's just as great, with my favorites being Calderon, Haven, and the final boss theme.

All this combined enhances the combat to be as fun and engaging as it gets. There are certainly some difficult bosses to deal with (and believe me some will make you lose your hair), but the runbacks are not particularly tedious to go through.

Even then, the double jump reset is key to the many platforming sections of the game, and you will be using it to its fullest to progress. Like Hollow Knight, MIO has a charm system (named Modifiers) that enables many play styles to your preference. All I'll say is thank goodness for Gratitude.

In exchange, the mobility is incredible. Probably the most crucial aspect is that every hit you make mid-air resets your double jump, which paves the way for many incredible feats, getting to places where you probably shouldn't before getting the upgrade needed to get there.

Also, you lose all your Nacre droplets whenever you die, but not your Crystallized Nacre. Adding to the difficulty of MIO are the tremors, which trigger at certain areas in the game that remove one HP permanently. By the end of the game, I may have 10 HP, but only half is actually usable.

Qu1ntus @qu1ntus.bsky.social · 29/01/2026

For one, there is no heal mechanic tied to Mio herself, which makes boss fights tougher as you only have one life each attempt. The only way to heal is through Nacre basins. These use Nacre droplets, which, along with Crystallized Nacre, combine to be the game's currency.

and Mio must find the five Voices, five gigantic pearls responsible for keeping the Vessel functional and its inhabitants' survival. Let me begin with a very forward warning: this is NOT your typical Metroidvania. It's not gonna be for everyone with how difficult it is right from the start.

In MIO: Memories In Orbit, you play as...well, Mio, a little robot who wakes up to the Vessel, a spaceship that might as well be considered a habitable planet with all its capabilities. However, the Vessel is dying, the Travellers are nowhere to be found, most of the robots have gone rogue--

We are not even one MONTH into 2026 and already there's an amazing game that has released. With a beautiful art style, incredible movement in its gameplay, and an engaging story, MIO: Memories In Orbit is firmly up there as a great Metroidvania.

There's a feeling of emptiness right now.

"When one falls, we continue." "Yes, I know that." "WHEN one falls. WHEN. Not IF. WHEN. We knew not all of us would make it, but we. Continue. As long as even one of us stands, our fight is not over."

I am late to the GDQ party but this Pokemon Emerald Pick-My-Main speedrun to close AGDQ 2026 is incredible

Qu1ntus @qu1ntus.bsky.social · 10/01/2026

So I finished Trine 1, Tomb Raider (2013) again, and Scars Above I think I can go for FFX Remaster now I just have to get used to the fixed framerate, it's throwing me off a bit to start

Qu1ntus @qu1ntus.bsky.social · 10/01/2026

Have fun! Hope y'all enjoy yourselves!

every time I see this pic I always wonder how they were able to put enough duct tape to suspend someone high up. And also making sure to not get in contact with the adhesive.

Posted a new chapter of the fanfic. If anyone's curious, it's a Need For Speed fanfic focusing on the 00's era of games providing a bit more of an interconnected story from Underground to Carbon, though they're mostly focused on just snippets of the protagonist's life.

Okay now I'm a bit mad I put out a chapter of a new story in FF./net Ten minutes later I get a notif that a user followed/favorited it I do a quick check and see that SOMEHOW the chapter does not have a view counted in. SO HOW ARE THESE BOT ACCOUNTS ABLE TO DO THAT?!

Qu1ntus @qu1ntus.bsky.social · 06/01/2026

Got a new display case and now all my mini lego-likes are now encased

Oh hey, Pizza Sivir. I hope the cosplayer's living a good life.

Qu1ntus @qu1ntus.bsky.social · 04/01/2026

At this point maybe I should start putting out some of my other unfinished work

It's horrible what that site has become. Hope you find your footing here.

Qu1ntus @qu1ntus.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

I just posted a chapter and the bots issue still persists. Good that those accounts got instabonked but man.

Qu1ntus @qu1ntus.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

It's so bleak. I saw these same bots in my DMs in FF dot net and it's depressing. The site managed to cull them for the most part but the damage has been done.
