been checking the profile every now and then like a Normal Gal in case this would happen 🩵🩵 happy for you :)

funnily enough, my team for round five was DOG. tyranitar AND regirock with blastoise, who was swapped in from an ampharos. beefy and strong but also so risky to rely on in so many situations. I was blessed with opponents who could not bother to consider a water type thankfully

my first time getting past the 31st battle and I was able to sweep through 42. there were some rocky moments for sure but we made it. huge thanks to latios 2, sceptile 3, metagross 8, and miltank 2

ladies… I did it

New mechanics in mega dimension have more in common with getting a fire flower in super Mario galaxy than any roguelike in history

One of the most bizarre things happening right now is that people are calling the Pokémon legends ZA DLC a “roguelike” or saying it has “roguelike mechanics”. Neither of those are true!

folks, ya girl’s done it (got a review on backloggd front page)

is level 50 actually easier than open level or is it just more predictable? dealing with slower fights in the early rounds just doesn’t feel worth it

It doesn’t matter how stacked my rentals are… I got 31 wins on my first attempt and I am cursed to never make it past 31 wins on any attempt after. I’ve put in DOZENS of hours trying to get a gold symbol and I have gotten NOWHEREEE

Pokémon emerald battle factory is going to be the end of me I stg

ratings are undeniably central to how a lot of people use the site but if you approach it from the diary or writing angle then you can be so chill. lots of people don’t give ratings, or use them as a way to highlight some gems they want people to find easier

the Wii U was the perfect console for my high school self that was very happy to save my limited funds during wide release gaps

the complete aversion to any confidence in a stance is so boring. Feel what you feel!! Say what you mean!

I’m a crazy person who loved engage way more than three houses but I feel like I might try and finally sneak in a second playthrough to see how I feel about it again

In all of my enthusiasm for my analogue pocket purchase, I forgot how much I love the game boy player…

“Ps5 has one game” okay we’ll switch 2 has two games

Rhythm heaven came out in 2016 over here so I changed soundtrack to undertale. Oops

My Backloggd retrospective Game of the Year for 2015. Game of the Year: Bloodborne Best Gameplay: Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain Best Narrative: Undertale Best Art Direction: Yoshi’s Woolly World Best Soundtrack: Rhythm Heaven Megamix Best Multiplayer: Splatoon

this one was very hard. I think the only year I’ve done so far where the top pick wasn’t in other spots?

I was always expecting a Weird Joy-Con to come out and attach to your switch with something funny going on. Surprised that the closest we got to that was a rough third party joy con with a d pad

In 2011 I inherited my mom’s piss old android phone with a slide out keyboard. Every day I’d search “earthbound” on the android marketplace and one day it was there. An app dedicated to running an SNES rom of earthbound and nothing else. 8th graders don’t get to have that experience anymore

The gap between the original switch and switch 2 is so much bigger that it hurts a lot more to see games go the backwards compatible route here than it did for PS4 and 5

does this one have a good fan translation, or is the original game where to go?

That makes sense! And not everyone feels good with the slimmer cases like the first party Nintendo one. It’s definitely not a “small bag” item without dominating the space. I guess I’ve always needed bigger bags that can accommodate a switch

I hope this doesn’t come across as purely pushback, but as someone who generally carries a backpack or purse wherever she goes, where do people pack their other things that a Switch may not fit? I can understand a Steam Deck being a little hefty, but even Switch 2 feels thin enough for me to pack

Not even that they’re all that similar really, but one’s mystery and hooks clearly got my attention more than the other

I wonder if I would’ve liked 13 sentinels more if I didn’t play it off the heels of watching evangelion for the first time

INSPIRING: mat “matttgfx” gfx once again kills the hair game

there should be one new video game console, it should only be updated once every 10 years, it should play all the games, and it should have cigarette style warning all over it about the perils of the Gamer lifestyle

DQ3 HD already has a silly high encounter rate before you realize that they tripled the size of the overworld!
