Ok, let's try this. May #Promosky I make daily posts about games I'm playing, and I play all kinds of single-player games. I also review new movies and sometimes anime. Some of my interests include: • Trails • Yakuza • Ace Attorney • Sci fi • Horror • Puzzle games • Indies • Trophy hunting

QTP with a game recommendation! I'm going to go with something I actually played for the first time this year. But also, here's a picture of Devola & Popola from NieR...because NieR!💜

Finally motivated enough to make this. I used Backloggd and sorted by Popularity and limited it to one game in a series to get a list...and I probably will never play most of these. There are a few surprises here, though! Top 25 Games I Have Never Played!🤷‍♀️🪦

I wish stuff didn't bother me as much as it does. I don't think I'm built well for socializing on any level with the way things are right now. It probably doesn't help that my body continues to revolt against me in all sorts of ways. Stay cool, cool people.

A backlog? You mean: creating generational wealth (of entertainment) for my descendants?

I can't believe I almost skipped on Episode 0 in *of the Devil* because I thought it was just effectively a demo, but it really is an entire case (with tutorial)! Also my favorite game so far that I've played this year and will probably stay that way if Episode 1 is as good as Episode 0!💜

I slept through the tornado warning this morning and did not get tornado'd, so I guess my day is starting off way better than it could have! Probably going to finally sit down with Lost Epic after spending WAY too much time doing Umamusume recently with their Anniversary Celebration.😅😭🪦

Fun fact, adding to gaming doesn’t take anything away. Remake of a game you like? Doesn’t take away from the original New shooter comes out? Doesn’t take away from old shooters New game made for a different audience than you? Doesn’t take away from games made for you I’m pro additions to gaming.

Did I beat two shorter games today? Yes, I did! (Without a Dawn, Livber: Smoke & Mirrors) Did I fail in my fight against The Backlog Monster by acquiring more than two games today? Well, you can probably guess why The Backlog Monster never shrinks in size.😅😭🪦

A three panel comic: the first panel says "Are you playing your backlog?"

The second features two hands hold a sword that is being pulled from the scabbard. There is enough of the blade showing that the word "Yes" appears on the blade.

The third panel shows much more of the blade pulled from the scabbard, revealing the rest of the sentence:

"YESterday I bought more games"

Finished DQ7R finally tonight! I liked it, though not as much as I did the original back when I played it -- I don't know if that's just a product of the game being specifically what I wanted to invest myself in back then or if it's for an entirely different reason, but here we are!😉

I didn't watch the State of Play, but if the new Brigandine goes back to cutscene combat a la Fire Emblem/Shining Force games, I'M SO IN. Otherwise, shrug.gif Apparently, Konami decided to show up? I can't wait until everyone tells me about Suikoden VI. ...I'm waiting!🙂........😅😭💀🪦

Post one of your favorite games that got a 75 or less on Metacritic! Played this on the 360 and although it might not have aged well, I loved it during that time! And hey, the PC version is a 73, so that's 10 points higher (even though it's delisted from Steam now)!😅

This. This right here. Are you making a game? This is what a difficulty selection screen should look like. If I want to play with damage low and enemies extra strong and my HP recovers after every fight so every fight can be as epic as possible I damn well should be able to!!

Physical media only has more value than digital for collectors. Piracy is the great equalizer between the two. (Please pirate responsibly, if you can pay the developers please do so)

Finished *The Secret of Varonis*. Solid game, a few minor bugs and some issues with realizing where certain places were that I needed to go, but the game was fun and had some smart design decisions related to QoL stuff while trying to evoke that FFL1+2 feel!💜

Quote this post with a game you like but everyone else hates! I played this on the Dreamcast ages ago and for whatever reason, I thought it was awesome. The general consensus is that it isn't. BUT THAT CAN'T STOP ME FROM HAVING A GOOD TIME!💜
