the same goes for my replay of AAI2 with the official translation, I've played that a little more consistently but it's definitely been going at a snail's pace as well

I blame Trails and TF2

I really gotta get back to my Sly 2 replay on the PS5, I've been playing it here and there but I've really been neglecting it 😔

Happy birthday oomf

I think this is my shortest break between Trails games so far lmao CS3's cliffhanger was way too evil

I know this is probably like THE most divisive game in the series but I want form my own opinion instead of letting osmosis decide it for me so here we gooooo

The title screen to The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV

It's time to Colden the Steel one last time......

Oh shit happy bday Noey!!

I hope xenoblade 4 not only connects to xenosaga but also disaster day of crisis

though playing the first few hours of the game I made the horrible mistake of trying to perfect the challenges without upgrades why am I like this

for those not caught up on the lore I first played Gravity Rush around 2017/2018 and got very close to the end BUT then my PS4 decided to eat ALL of my save data and I haven't been back since

but now it's finally time to beat it

After 30 billion years

I'm finally going back

anyways this alongside the recent genAI for QA they announced recently isn't exactly painting SE in a good light 😬

Every day I'm more and more convinced that being a Square Enix fan is just this

After weeks of teasing, I'm very excited to officially show you all:
Gameplay of Calico Wilder!

I've been working with @waveparadigm.com, @littlenorwegians.bsky.social, and some friends to build the first of Calico's adventures, and I'm super thrilled with how it's coming along!

they also got parody versions of Flappy Bird and Snake as minigames and that makes this a 10/10 actually I think

Very fun little puzzle game, love the premise soooooo much it's so goofy

Some of the gimmicks are a bit meh and the last few levels are a bit disappointing but overall I really enjoyed how it tested my brain with the cat's and the toast's toolkits

November: Cato: Buttered Cat (8/10)

"Your back isn't the floor anyways. It's not going to trigger THE rule. And, it's very warm."

also sidenote but one thing that I kinda dislike about live action TV is that the episodes are so long in most of them bro I'd rather watch a movie at that point 😭

Started watching The Penguin

That kid is going to die or experience a fate worse than death by the end of this isn't he

FUCK

NOVEMBER FAVORITES:

My Dress-Up Darling Season 2
Persona 3 Reload
The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III

Robert Downey Jr. is really charismatic as Holmes and Jude Law kills it as Watson too, just a lot of good performances all around

I'm honestly pretty surprised how good this ended up being!

Some of the drama feels pretty forced and I have mixed feelings about them making Holmes into a pseudo-action hero, but overall it's a really fun mystery action thriller romp

October: Sherlock Holmes (2009 movie) (8/10)

"Never theorize before you have data. Invariably, you end up twisting facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts."

Not really in the mood for anything spooky but this still fits since people dress up as Sherlock Holmes for Halloween right?

WATCHING:

the Ratchet & Clank vibes....

Started replaying Metroid Prime 3 a couple days ago in preparation for MP4 and man I forgot how much I vibe with this game

The new battle mechanics added here are also pretty good, but I do feel some bosses rely on their usage a tad too much

So overall, while CS3's got its problem and it's nowhere near being my favorite Trails game, it was still a good time

I also think the plot spins its wheels a liiiiiittle too much in places, and while the endgame is fucking crazy, it doesn't completely surpass how connected I felt with CS1
