I remember this unofficial pokemon magazine you could get at our local corner shop did a poster of all the new pokemon in G/S when they dropped in Japan, with their Japanese names, and I had it on the wall by my bed. Yellow was my first video game ever, and the idea that there was going to be ANOTHER one with NEW pokemon properly blew my mind at the time. It's really sad how many people lost their old save files with the internal battery issue though. I still have my original yellow cartridge with my original save file from when I was 10, it would be amazing to still have that with Silver...

Mind you a girl I didn't like took my silver cartridge off me during a school trip and then left it on the coach and I never got it back so the internal battery issue was a moot point there lol. Yes I am still bitter 17 years later...

I’m going to be playing Xenoblade Chronicles tomorrow. Finally bought a Switch!

My microSD isn’t gonna be coming until next week though. Will save data automatically transfer over or will I be risking losing it?

Save data can only be stored on the Switch's internal memory. Just found out about this myself! From their website: "Where is game save data stored? On Nintendo Switch, game save data is stored on the console's System Memory. This will not change whether downloadable software or software from a game card is being played. Game save data cannot be saved or copied to a microSD card."

Star Wars Squadrons. Honestly a very good game. I was a bit surprised.

I’m delighted with Squadrons. You can tell that someone did the groundwork to create loot boxes and micros, like, the scaffolding is all there, but somehow they cut that crap out before launch. The story and characters are good, and there’s no sub — it’s like I actually bought a game that I can dust off when my friends wanna play w me.

Holy shit.

Just finished playing through FFV Advance. Beat Omega, Shinryu and the final boss.

Then did the Advance exclusive Sealed Temple and overcame Omega Mark 2 and Neo-Shinryu. Still have Enuo to beat up but given who I just beat, I'm pretty positive I'll smash his face to pieces :monster:

Just wow. I almost forgot how challenging and satisfying this iteration of FFV was. Honestly, I think FFV is the most fun of all the classic FFs, just in terms of it's Job system, combining different abilities, utilizing Mixes and then just overcoming end game superbosses with unique and different strategies. I literally took down Neo Shinryu at just level 45 utilizing Mix, abilities, and just perserverence.

There's a reason why of all the classic FFs, this is the one I've come back to play the most. I almost forgot just how tough it was but it's still so so satisfying. I love this game a lot. :monster:

I'll be revisiting FFVI Advance next. I have only played through that one once so I'm sure I'm gonna have lots of surprises to re-experience again.

Played Solasta: Crown of the Magister this summer. Pretty solid gameplay that emulates a DnD pen and paper game. The story is pretty simple, but the game itself is *cheffkiss*

Playing now Pathfinder: Kingmaker. I'm on a RPG string XDDDD

I'm playing The Great Ace Attorney at the moment, am on the second case of the second game and having such a good time haha. The gameplay sometimes doesn't feel that challenging compared to the old games, but the story has me genuinely intrigued and seeing a modern Japanese interpretation of anime style Victorian London is great fun.

Plus Herlock fucking Sholmes of course.

I've started playing Far Cry 6 last weekend, and have just finished the first major region of the world map. So far the game is a big step up from FC5, and I think the player character, Dani Rojas, is the main reason for this improvement. It's nice to play as a proper character with her own personality, instead of a practically faceless, silent doll like in FC5. Now, with Dani, we can even get charming little touches to her personality, like how she'll periodically sing along to the songs over the radio as she's driving.

Virtue's Last Reward, via Youtube. A bunch of alternate timelines, and a lot of opportunities for shipping. I expect the fanfic community for this one is going to be large.

Zero Time dilemma, again courtesy of Youtube.

Huh. Well that's a lot.

The Fanfic community is smaller than I expected.

Being a huge fan of Legacy of Kain, I have no room to complain about abrupt cliffhangers.

The storytelling is good. I feel like Zero's abilities are enough to find this religious terrorist person without all these puzzle games. Honestly it's more likely to end up with a bunch of horribly traumatised people than a team of superheroes. The fact that any of these people are still functioning is an achievement in itself.

Is it creepier to be hit on by a 22 year old in a 67 year old's body, or a 67 year old in a 22 year old's body? Narrowly avoiding a romance with your own father, a lesser known hazard of time jumping.

Who also have to watch his baby twins starve to death. Well that's grim.

Not me, but if some of you understand French, you might want to follow the ZEvent2021 on Twitch which is a charity running from today until Sunday. They usually get several millions for a charity, with notably event goals that each streamer set like this one:

(the first 20K made me laugh too much, sorry ^^').

Here is the list of the streamers participating:

This year they support Action contre la faim (Action against hunger).

Edit: they gathered a bit more than €10M! It was an absolutely crazy event!

For Halloween I replayed a short little Horror RPG/kinda-sorta-rogue-like game I found last year called "No Delivery".

If ever there were a game that really sold Pizza horror, this is it. I really recommend it. It does a good job making you actually think strategically with your resources and experiment since every time you die you're rerolled into a new pizzeria employee with a different class and attributes. No levels or EXP, just items.

As far as I'm concerned, Tales of Arise was a cute owl game with a 50 hr jrpg thrown in for free.

It was kind of impressive how it kept getting worse with each cutscene in the last third.

Now that I’ve had some time to think about it, if I discount the final arc, I enjoyed it and I really appreciated the things it did well - particularly the battle system, world design, and overall the characters.

The plot is pretty straight forward but that’s fine. I don’t need everything to be complex and deep. But, I think a lot of that boils down to what I come to a Tales game for.

That final arc tho. Yeah, that... was messy. But I feel like I can let that go. I also think it would have been better if they’d played it straight without the twist.

The thing that was more problematic for me was the lack of humour. Tales games, for me, are a cool battle system, quirky characters and a sense of humour.
