Had a great time with all the levels and earning the achievements. Got a decent score clearing out the waves at the Beach level

Mobile games reliably maintain my attention. Waiting on my Switch to be repaired, Playdate is out of commission, yet my 3DS... Could be a good idea ๐Ÿ˜.. After typing all this out. Motivated myself enough to continue Clair Oscur: Expedition 33 ๐Ÿ˜„.

Still love achievement hunting and competing games yet It gets exhausting if I don't pace myself or take a break like I have been lately.

So what will motivate me to finish my current single player games or revisit one for nostalgia ๐Ÿค”?

Intrigued by the idea that my recreational life is better without competitive, online multiplayer games.

Yet I allow myself to be bored and wistful, because I have it feeling it's good for my health and creativity. I intuit that without looking deeper into it๐Ÿคซโ€”for now.

It took me a couple of years, yet I unironically and genuinely appreciate Nikke. The stories from this year alone are so poignant and gratifyingly sad.

I think T.A.L.O.S. (the unit and/or Kilo too), Yuni, Delta, and Mori would be intriguing in your style. Looking forward to the pilot.

The recent collaboration event with Stellar Blade had an excellent story. So good, it had me utilize their official social media platform to express that.

It seems the better storytelling outside of console-esque JRPGs are in mobile games. This is an observation I had since the first international Kingdom Hearts mobile game came out all those years ago, yet I am happy to have realized the quality that exists. #GoddessofVictoryNikke

Look, all I'm saying is that Atlus is a failure if they don't release a Trauma Trilogy for the Switch 2. The mouse controls are right there!

Nintendoโ€™s new store is now open in S.F.โ€™s Union Square. Hereโ€™s a look inside Nintendo opens its second U.S. store in San Franciscoโ€™s Union Square, says it will have Switch 2 consoles in June.

Wellโ€”if the comments about supply include Switch 2, this is the only way I'll get the system at Launch ๐Ÿ˜, otherwise, it will be a pass.

It's unfortunate I have to choose between being ahead on fiscal obligations and the Switch 2 + accessoriesโ€”but I'll enjoy my purchased games backlog and make more intentional purchases at the upcoming Steam sales or day 1 launches worth supporting.

I feel resigned about the idea of getting a Nintendo console at launch. I want to do so at the SF NINTENDO STORE opening next week,but their Grand Opening slots are sold out:

Even thenโ€”it is unclear if they offer POs atm.

My profile in Nikke: Goddess of Victory.

The "777" Squad as my profile banner, with one of them being my in-game picture and representative unit.

 A lot of F2P-ers get stuck leveling their units at 160, and need to get 4 total copies of a unit to level up to Level 200. There is a mechanic that allows units to sync levels of the 5 most powerful units before 200, then unifies them to go beyond 200 (a limit that increases for every unit added to the sync system and therefore the game if one were to synch all their available units).

Once players get over that wall, it gets progressively easier to start progressing the plot. 

The units' base power, ability power, equipment, and many other mechanics all grow exponentially it seems.

Admittedly an odd thing to be proud about, but I finally exceeded a mobile game wall after playing it on and off again since Summer 2023. In #NikkeGoddessofVictory. Made it to the campaign area that was going on when I got into the game while finally seeing my favorite units introduced in the plot.

I love this particular indie to mainstream model success story! Narratively, this universe is halfway through its storyโ€”Now is the best time to get into it. Amazon Prime Video has been catching up nicely. Happy Helluva Boss is getting it's boost ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿคฉ

I hope y'all get there before the Switch 2 launches ๐Ÿคž. That milestone paired with a launch day games variety stream would be a great start to the Nintendo console generation.

Added Monster Hunter Wilds to this showcase.

If an achievement list is reasonable,and not absurdโ€”I will go for it if the gameplay is ๐Ÿช/๐Ÿ‘€

Gundam Evolution (rip) was a great example of a live-service, multiplayer game with a great list. Level-up, rank up 1 tier in completive, and finish games.

Took a long break from thinking and engaging with Esports to focus on myself and quiet efforts in rekindling my broadcast skills.

Out-of-the-blue I learn about upcoming news, deals-in-process, and from leadership-level sources ๐Ÿ˜ฏ.

If that was a sign to not fade awayโ€”it's time to polish and shine ๐Ÿคฉ.

Enthused enough to take a chance at making the pre-order at the SF store, but not locked in for a potential My Nintendo store pre-registration.

Don't mind more expensive games as long as the quality of games are maintained. Glad for another chance at Eye
Toy vibes with the camera accessory.

Always hoping for a quality Seinen or Josei every anime season since I turned 25 ๐Ÿคฉ. I make a shonen or shoujo exception if it came out before 2015โ€”since it could take me back mentally when I was within that demographic.

I hope that genre grows bigger and better for my generation ๐Ÿ˜.

Not necessarily the worst use of my attention, being an informed citizen and being ready to support my local politics is an Adult responsibility. Being prepared for the worst is better than being blindsided by it.

That typed. Forgoing Rivals II Entry to go all-in for Street Fighter 6 ๐Ÿซก.

Practicing for Genesis X2 is interesting. At first, I envisioned myself grinding rank, practicing my techniques,and immersing myself in relevant content.

Yet in realityโ€”this will be a vacation with friends. The upcoming changes in my life and keeping up with American politics took away my prep.

Just crunched the numbers and setting up my budget. My late 20s were will lived. Now I have to survive until I get a raise and another job ๐Ÿซก.

Unfortunate timing with the economic warfare as I start moving soon ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ, then again... My tax return will help be a welcome relief.

Exactly. While we have a platform to express our professional selves. There is a strive to be in line with our front facing socials too.

Best of luck on all those effortsโ€”we need on-site and online events to bring escapism, unity, and optimism.

That's my rationale too. I tend to be reserved on social media , yet I want that option to engage genuinely and thoughtfully here.
