Completed: Balatro

  • I "completed" a roguelike which means I fully completed a run so it counts
  • It's poker with power ups. As they said in every single 90's gaming publication: 'Nuff said
  • After playing like an idiot for awhile I finally realized to just go after one or two types of hands, eventually only going for flushes
  • I thought this was called "Baltaro" for a month. #gamer
  • Bed time, Balatro, reading, sleep, in that order

Completed: Mario Party Jamboree

  • Counting this since I "platinumed" the game and got to max rank which unlocks the credits. Fuck the haters if they have a problem with that
  • Really fun Mario Party. I'm no connoisseur but definitely one of my favorites I've played
  • The Pro mode and the amount of customization is nice. But that also makes it more frustrating you can't just customize every option
  • Needs more variety for the god damn 1v3/3v1 games god damnit
  • Rhythm Kitchen side game is great albeit a little simple

Completed: Dragon's Dogma 2

  • Really enjoyed this game despite some head scratching over design choices like a really dumb, punishing saving system and no combat lock-on being the two more confusing decisions that come to mind. Not game breaking by any means but just...odd
  • Pawn system is awesome. Had so much fun just running to places with my bros
  • Favorite part of the game is picking up enemies, or innocent people/pawns, and hurling them over a cliff. Every game needs this ability.
    • Second favorite part is the pawns in my party who see me do said cliff hurling and exclaim they've never seen their own master (real person) do that and will inform them of such a strategy. How are these people not throwing everyone off a cliff?
