I was a little ill for a few days, not too bad, but didn't feel like sitting out in lounge, so no Final Fantasy XIV this week.

Will be getting back to it over the weekend.

Instead I spent the time to finish Donkey Kong Bananza.

The last bits were pretty interesting, I even skipped collecting everything.

Did any of you notice any stutter during the last fight? When the boss does his big attack, screen will stutter for a bit, it would go back to normal right afterwards. Not a big deal, but I don't recall noticing any performance issues through the game, so was weird to see that in the end.

After that, played some of the post-game, but didn't find it interesting enough to complete it. So, as far as I am concerned, the game is done.

Also, played some more of Blue Route in AI: The Somnium Files, I am, I believe, on the last day of this route. After that there is a Pink Route, which diverges from Blue Route, and then Green Route, which was the first one I played, but required me to finish other routes before continuing further.

Things have gone in some weird direction in this route, and I am currently more confused then ever about what's actually going on. Hopefully things will become clear when I finish all the routes.

What about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?

I missed posting last week! I mean, I missed writing; this little community is wonderful!

I wrapped up the Clip Picross section of Picross S9, so all that is left there is the Color Picross. Those games are definitely worth the money for me!

I ran Epyllion, a game that my youngest is calling D&D (Dragons and Dragons). It’s a game of young dragons running errands for the Dragon Council and growing up through friendship and hardship. It’s amazing how patient I can be listening to five ten-year-olds crosstalk patiently but when it’s twenty twelve-year-olds in my civics class, I have zero chill. Maybe because of standardized testing panic?

Tomorrow I’m going to play a trick-taking card game called Fishing where you want to win tricks, but you want to lose tricks to get better bait, too. I hope it’s worth it (but since I bought it after finding an Amazon credit that’s been sitting on my fifteen year unused Amazon account, it doesn’t have to be good at its price).

We also plan on playing Vantage. It seems like a 90s, Sierra-style adventure game where you are exploring a planet while on comms with the other players. They don’t get to see what you see, so you role-play to describe what is happening. I tried it once and I like it all except the theme (sci-fi isn’t for me!)

Oh, and too much Balatro.

You are wonderful! (in Keanu Reeves voice)

I am about 30% of way through Picross S5, doing both Picross and Mega Picross. Should take me 6 months to year to finish it though 😀

Looked up Epyllion, looks interesting. My eldest is still in the dragon loving age, so he may like it. Vantage also sounds fun, and I love sci-fi, so will take a look at it too.
