@neocweeny I’ve started Soul Hackers more times than I’d care to say but never finished it. I really like it but somehow always get sidetracked. I 100% agree on the vibes, they are incredible. It feels vintage but the themes are timeless, which good sci-fi most often is.
I’m jumping back in as soon as I have my house next week. Thanks!
Just ordered Soul Hackers 2 on sale. Feels like I’m turning i to @Yoshi with all these recent purchase posts. Looking forward to this one…but need to finish Soul Hackers first.
Just re-bought Devil Survivor Overclocked only because I’m likewise crazy and wanted to have my 3DS SMT collection back to full stock. Still a good game though, might play it again in a decade or two.
Another 3 seconds of Zelda and even more not Metroid. This one was not for me. At least I was on the clock, I guess.
Finally picked up Kirby and the Forgotten Land. I've been itching to play this since it was announced so I can't wait to jump in.
I’d like to tell a story, if I may. A story that opens with a man on a train. Not just any train but Tokyo’s infamous Hanzomon/Den-en-toshi line train at the beginning of rush hour. And not just any man but a man holding on to a shit with all the confidence of a two-fingered monkey holding on to a banana soaked in baby oil. Surely, no more than half of the sweat on his brow was brought on by the oppressive heat and humidity of Japanese summer. Destination: his mother-in-law’s house. And despite all this, this man wears a grin from ear to ear.
Something like seven years earlier, the same man and his wife (girlfriend at the time?) walk back to their hotel and come across a lineup outside of a restaurant. It’s too late to eat but the man’s wife takes note, as literally EVERY JAPANESE PERSON EVER would when they see a lineup (assuming they don’t blindly join the line for some reason). The following day, they return at lunch and this time, even the man can admit the lineup was right. It immediately becomes a must-go on their annual trips to Japan.
Covid, lockdown, no planes blah blah blah. 3 and a half years I was deprived of my one true love. A love I happily share with 2 legends of gaming: PR Balrog and the one and only Benjamin “yes, I’m tall. I don’t know why that surprises people” Moore. That’s right my friends. This swelling in my abdomen is the result of my most recent purchase: tsukemen from Tsujita.
I...only had 8 games that I was even willing to consider. And even then, I took two out. I went through the Wikipedia list several times to be sure but I guess I don't love as many Gamecube games as I thought I did; HOWEVER, the ones that I do love, ooooooooooooooh mama, they are each on a Boys Don't Cry level of love.
Taking a moment to talk games not on my list: Ikaruga is awesome but I have not played it enough and I never will because hard games no longer spark joy for me (don't know that they ever did if I'm being honest).
Did you hate Super Mario Sunshine because it was such a departure from the rest of the series, particularly 64? Well, while I may not have the cure for bad taste, I can definitely recommend Vexx as being much more Mario 64 than Sunshine is. I'm sure Tak and all those other mascots are too but I've only ever played Vexx.
Skies of Arcadia Legends is just ok.
Play Tiger Woods 03 and 04. For my money, the best blend of arcade and sim golf games ever made.
@yoshi well they’re obviously doing this to offset the salary increases they are doing across the board to help employees manage inflation.
