I didn't feel like I started to truly shape my video game tastes until I was 13. So the games range from teenage favorites to more recent games I've played as an adult

Honorable mention goes to Soul Calibur 2.

These are the nine games I would consider the most influential to me. In terms of my tastes in games, what eventually led to my favorite game franchises, and how they shaped me as a person. These nine games aren't necessarily among my favorites either.

The latest Nintendo Indie World was pretty decent. Nothing I'm super crazy about, but there were a few games that looked interesting to me that I want to try out.

I'm glad indies exist; they really get to tap into that weird, experimental side of gaming that we used to see in a lot of retro games.

Resharing in case anyone missed it!

This is the best side quest in Octopath 0. Especally since you can get an ability that lets you talk to animals.

I wish I had a cat that loves me 🥲

One thing I do love about the Octopath Traveler series is its amazing boss sprite art, since it's so much larger than the party's sprites. So you can see all of the glorious pixelated details well.

I'm so glad I waited for a Nintendo Switch 2 version of Xenoblade X since I wanted to re-experience the game the best way I could. Definitely will pick this up, although probably in April when the physical version comes out, since I'm not really in a rush for it atm.

Finished the Card en Ciel demo.

I really enjoy how unapologetically weeb Card en Ciel is. This guy got to battle a dude with a giantess fetish and a 32 feet tall robot since they're both from an adult visual novel.

I like the anime girl backgrounds that sometimes pop up in Card en Ciel

Got to love it when parts of the game is untranslated lol.

I really like how colorful Card el Ciel is. It pleases me. The anesthetic is so unapologetically "RBG computer". Especially Ancie. She just feels like the very concept of "what if we turn one of those RBG computers into an anime girl".

Curious about this one
Let give it a try

Hmmm yea, time to ramble about my frustrations about trying to get a super niche Japanese shoot em up that came out in the Dreamcast in the shocking year of 2007 (6 years after the death of the system), and probably only three of my friends at best even played the game.

Okay I actually laughed out loud when Golshi just suddenly put on a penguin suit out of thin air, then instantly took it off the very next frame.
Looney Tunes ass character

As usual, anything but training.

I ngl. The first thing that came to mind was "Oh, she went to a festival that had black people food there?"

I am enjoying the dumb, silly dialogue in Mystia's Izakaya. It gives me Atelier vibes.

This is...oddly forth wall breaking

Touhou Metroidvania was making me upset for being stuck in the Remilia boss fight for like two hours. I wasn't having fun, and I felt like I was wasting time. So I just stopped playing. It doesn't help that I was feeling depressed and sad, too.

So yea, let's give Touhou restaurant management a try

So, just to prove I just like to whine out loud sometimes, I beat the third boss. Honestly had a much easier time with Patchouli than Marisa. It only took me three tries, while Marisa took me 25+ tries.

Touhou Luna Nights is so hard. It took me an hour to beat Marisa. Which is incredibly slow for Metroidvania player standards. I do not like hard games. Retrying bosses over and over again is just time-wasting to me.

Touhou Metroidvania (or search action, I like the term the Japanese uses more tbh)

Considering my vacation time just ended....this is so real.

Need coffee date with Mornye ☕️
