A Way Out, 328th game completed. This game si made for co-op so grab a friend. Game itself is not difficult, but does a good job with the story and making you care about the two protagonists, making the twist more painful. Great 70s buddy shenanigan vibes, great voice acting. Note that if you want to do online coop, it (annoyingly) goes through EA app, not Steam. Also, it alphabetizes based on "W" in Way and not "A".
Hades, 327th game completed. What an amazing game - great gameplay loop, great voice acting, lush backgrounds, and a reason to keep playing with a good overarching plotline that links it all together.
Pixel Puzzles Traditional Jigsaw Puzzles, 326th game completed. Base game is free, and you pay for more puzzles via DLC purchases. You know what you're getting into with this game, and there's little to no customization of the puzzle set up. The trays are neat, but puzzle pieces just being scattered to the side of the main puzzle is annoying. Being able to fade the puzzle picture in and out is pretty necessary because the zoom is very bare bones and while there is a small completed picture in the corner, good luck with staring at it then trying to use that for these puzzles with large numbers of pieces.
Resident Evil 6, 325th game completed. If you manage to make some fixes so this game causes less motion sickness (as it does on default settings), the game has some fairly interesting ideas and is decently campy. I can see why a RE fan would find it verging on the action side too much, but as a non-horror fan, I found the four campaigns and their crossovers to be funny, especially since all 4 campaigns had such different tones, as if they were in different genres.
Glass Masquerade 3: Honeylines, 324th game completed. It's a jigsaw puzzle game with some options, inoffensive background music, and stained glass aesthetic. Tried all the puzzle type pieces and modes, but I still prefer the classic. Pretty and chill.
it’s that time of year
Oh thank goodness there’s still time for this.
Oh who am I kidding it’s always time for this.
hexeed, 323rd game completed. The base game is free, and you pay the DLC price for the remaining maps. The base game had a ton of levels, and the DLC levels are like 100 per hexagon at the top. So, if you LOVE hexcell puzzles, this game is for you.
80 Days, 322nd game completed. It's basically a CYOA game adapting the classic Jules Verne story. Set in 1872 with a steampunk twist, the goal is to circumnavigate the globe in 80 days. There's a lot of writing and a lot of paths. Some QOL improvements to make it more of a new game+ on subsequent playthroughs to speed through previously completed events would be nice. It's ok for the initial runs though.
Pictopix, 321st game completed. Fun puzzle game. Liked the various options, the classic puzzles, the mosaics, etc. Just wish the challenges (at least those for the achievements) were a bit more forgiving. Feels like you're just depending on RNG for easy puzzles, and definitely doesn't help that you get to challenge every 30 minutes instead of just being able to try again right away.
Yakuza Kiwami. Part 2.
Yakuza Kiwami, 320th game completed. Part 1.
The story is somewhat similar as to Yakuza 0 in that there is a woman that everyone is trying to find who is the key to a lot of money, so everyone is fighting to secure access to her. It's very interesting to see how the characters developed from 0 to Kiwami, although I was surprised to see so many relatively notable people die in this story. Newcomer Haruka was pretty good - a kid character, but isn't (too) annoying (Haruka Requests aside), although it's a miracle this kid is doing OK after what happens to her over the course of the story.
I like the exp and fighting system better in Kiwami, but the substories were pretty boring this time around. Minigames are, as usual, a pain, and so was the Haruka Requests based on (among other things) the minigames.
Pretty standard Yakuza-type game.
Reblogging for reference on how to make a blanket cape.

Vivaldi played by the South African elementary school Goede Hoop Marimba Band
Turn ON the sound
Slow down, turn on the sound and take a couple of minutes to enjoy this!
I think Vivaldi would have been tickled by this as he actually wrote so much of his music for an all girl orphanage/school. So to see a group of girls still playing his music hundreds of years later?!?!?! On an instrument he'd never seen?!?!?!
Wow, the drama in this performance. Genuinely amazing.
This made me so happy that I'm going to close Tumblr and go take some time to bask in the feeling instead of scrolling right on to the next thing.
At the gate for my flight home from visiting friends and there's a woman here with a service Shiba Inu. No pics because he has a Do Not Disturb vest and taking pics of strangers is illegal but I need to stress how ON DUTY this animal is. Ears up. Eyes doing Lazer scans of everything. Examining everyone who passes within 10ft like a security guard. Ass planted on her feet. I have never seen a dog with such intense chivalric guardian energy before. He has tiny eyebrows and they are FURROWED with concentration.
Man behind me having unhinged phone conversation. There is an internationally famous dairy in the area I was visiting and he was commissioned by the lady on the other end of the phone to collect specific cheeses from there. The lady is very high strung about the type and condition of the cheese.
The man does not know from cheese. The man "ain't never seen no cheese but orange before" and "I showed ya list to the cheese lady so if it's wrong it's her fault ok?"
I am 80% sure she sent him there for a really specific bleu cheese, 40% sure he does not have the very specific bleu cheese, and 100% sure he's done with her shit.
Our flight is delayed.
He does not have the cheeses in a cooler, just a regular backpack.
I need to emphasize that there is no cooler bag in the backpack. He has Jansport backpack that is jam-packed with cheeses. There is apparently $405 dollars worth of cheeses in that backpack, which I know because he has been trying to get the lady to venmo him the expense, which she has failed to do. It is unclear whether his relation to the lady is romantic, familial or what, but I'm leaning towards "what".
Two more people have joined us. One is a very elegant man with a perfect manicure in a tailored business suit, the other is a neon-haired person of indeterminate gender wearing a fox kirigumi. The Shiba Inu has been staring at the latter for three minutes now.
Uh oh.
Cheese man has been demanding payment because apparently he went like six hours out of his way and paid with his own money and between the cheese and price of gas, he is pretty sure he does not have enough money in his account for an Uber home.
The lady is FLABBERGASTED that he is demanding payment at all, as she was under the impression he was doing this for her out of the goodness of his heart.
He's not having it. He's insisting she told him she would pay him back- he would have gotten her maybe one cheese somewhere closer to his business in the area out of love, but he went out of his way because she agreed to pay him costs+ extra to cover it.
HE RECORDED THE CONVERSATION IN WHICH SHE PROMISED TO PAY FOR THE CHEESE, SHE'S THAT MUCH OF A FLAKE.
I am about to offer this man cash for some of these cheeses because our flight is now more delayed.
"YOU ALWAYS DO THIS! YOU ALWAYS DO THIS AND I FALL FOR IT EVERY TIME! NO! NO! FUCK YOU! IF YOU'RE NOT GONNA PAY ME, YOU DON'T GET FANCY CHEESE."
"OR ELSE WHAT?"
"I'm gonna-? THE BABY SHOWER? MONICA CAN'T EVEN HAVE THIS CHEESE SHE'S PREGNANT!"
"The cheese lady asked if it was for someone because the mushrooms or whatever in the cheese are dangerous for the baby or something?? You wanna poison Monica?"
"WHY WOULD I LIE ABOUT THAT?"
"YEAH OF COURSE I GOT THE CHEESE, THATS WHY I DON'T GOT MONEY FOR UBER!"
"YEAH, GO TELL! GO TELL MOMMA I STOPPED YOUR STUPID ASS FROM KILLING MONICA OR THE BABY! FUCK!"
*hangs up phone*
*head in hands, borderline hyperventilating*
The man in the three piece suit is in the chair next to him. He waits a moment, then reaches into his carryon and pulls out an entire bottle of wine with the TSA pre check sticker on it, and taps cheese guy on the shoulder.
"If your friend doesn't want it, would you be amenable to having it right now?"
Naturally, I have volunteered my box of wheat thins and offered to buy one of the harder cheeses which should be fine if it makes it home.
Meanwhile, Kirigumi has noticed that the Shiba Inu is staring at her and is correctly intimidated.
1. This is some fucking great Camembert. I have compensated cheese guy accordingly. So have like six other people. He's recouped like half his losses.
2. Cheese guy is crying a little about the cash and opening up about his problems. The cheese lady is his younger sister. Suit guy is being very generous with his Pinot Blanc. We are having a picnic/improv family therapy session.
3. This is apparently the latest in a long string of his sister asking for something and then flaking when he asks to be paid back. Started with paying him back only some of what he was owed, then claiming something she paid for him was of equal value when it was not, then recently telling him his memory is wrong and he said it was a gift or that he'd do it for free.
"Yeah, the specific thing of trying to convince you your memory is unreliable is called gaslighting and it's really fucked up." I say
"yeeeeah. The other stuff I forgave because she's never really had a good job so she can't pay me back all the time but at least she was making an effort y'know? But that was. That was over the line."
"If you haven't already, check on the rest of your family's finances. My brother started trying to gaslight everyone when he started stealing from our parents." Says Pinot Blanc.
4. Shiba Inu Lady has purchased a cheddar. Apparently, the dog's name is Donut, and he's her service dog because she's severely visually impaired.
"Oh, he's a guide dog?" Asks cheese guy.
"oh, no." She laughs. "He's too short, and the way my eyes are, it's easier for me to navigate with a cane. No, the problem I have is that some morally impaired people see the cane and think they can get away with stealing my bag or assaulting me because I wouldn't be able to give a description- which is wrong, but rather than deal with that I got Donut, and he helps me by howling at anyone who gets in my personal space and biting anyone who grabs me!"
"Uh." Says Kirigumi. "He's been staring at me do I need to back up or..?"
"Ohdear! No, no- He wasn't looking at you! He loves cheese but he knows he's not supposed to beg so he decided the way to deal with something he wants but can't have is to stare in the other direction."
"OKAY!" Says Kirigumi. "I'm wearing fox pajamas and thought like. He thought I was another dog or something."
"No, no- he doesn't care about dogs, and you get a warning before he goes for the calves. Very helpful, when I was living in Italy!"
"Oh what part? I have family in Tuscany." Says Pinot.
"Does he want a cheese? There is still so much cheese." Says cheese guy.
Plane may be arriving. I am paying for in flight WiFi to keep y'all updated.
1. Cheese guy has sold all but two or three cheeses that he an Pinot are going to eat on the flight.
2. I know they're planning to continue because Pinot talked to the gate agent so he and cheese guy can sit together and talk about family drama and cheese.
3. Pinot has been teaching him about different types of cheese and how to enjoy them.
4. Cheese guy apparently repairs computers and other technology devices for a living and is currently doing the software version of scraping barnacles and other crap off Pinot'macbook.
5. Pinot is now convinced that cheese guy is the smartest and most interesting man in the world.
Ok so the Wifi wasn't working on the plane (also like, nonstop turbulence) and also they got seated in a different row from me, but:
Now that I've heard the word aloud, and they are an astrophysicist. Who correctly believes in being comfy as fuck on planes. They are also familar with the concept of a meet-cute and is rooting for them too.
Got to walk the nice lady and her Tactical Assault Shiba to her next gate because it was on the way out and talk for a bit. Donut is called that not because he is the color of a Donut (which he is) but because he likes to sleep curled up in a perfect circle. He has a sister who does the same thing named Bagel.
Lost track of Pinot and Cheeseguy for a bit but when I saw them again at Baggage claim, Cheeseguy was holding both their jackets, and Pinot was on the phone to his hotel about "Well do you have any rooms with TWO beds?". The rest of the call indicated that yes, there were rooms with two beds, but Readers, I Had A Moment.
:)
Anyway, it's 2AM, I need to sleep, if you feel like supporting this kind of hard-hitting reporting, I have a Tip Jar!
A bunch of disasters (affectionate)
