A very very short sequel to my 1.6 post! I skipped 2.0 because there was so much other new content that I didn't really make much, but I do have some short builds to document for myself here. Once again, I swear Genshin Impact is an action RPG and not a building game. I don’t … Continue reading Genshin Impact Teapot Realm – End of 2.1
Of the 6 GBA and DS Castlevania games, Harmony of Dissonance is the only one that has completely escaped my grasp even after all these years. But, the instant I saw the shadow-drop for the Castlevania Advanced Collection in the most recent Nintendo Direct, I decided to pick it up as soon as I got … Continue reading Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance – finally
The Great Ace Attorney was originally released in Japan back in 2015 for the Nintendo 3DS. It was directed by Shu Takumi, who also directed the original GBA trilogy, as well as Apollo Justice on the DS. The mainline games would be directed by a new team after Apollo Justice, while Takumi moved to this … Continue reading The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles – a return to the series
A sequel to the previous End of 1.5 post! As I mentioned before, my motivation for making these posts is to snapshot my personal progress and builds. Like before, the image quality feels sort of wonky, but it gets the job done for documentation purposes at least. Also guys, I swear Genshin Impact is an … Continue reading Genshin Impact Teapot Realm – End of 1.6
This is actually a post I started writing back in January, but kept pushing off because I kept pushing off finishing Yakuza: Like a Dragon. I still haven't finished it, but I was reminded of this draft when I was watching Razbuten's new video and seeing his insight on how a non/inexperienced gamer views random … Continue reading Yakuza: Like a Dragon – JRPG Towns and Random Encounters
I always enjoy E3, even the disappointing ones. There's something really exciting about having non-stop reveals and trailers for several days. It's the dopamine hit of seeing something new and shiny, or seeing something you've been anticipating for a while. Every year, I try make a list of games to keep an eye on so … Continue reading My E3 2021 Watch List
Version 1.5 of Genshin Impact introduced a housing system into the game via the "Serenitea Pot" and it's a addition that I really enjoy. I've spent a lot of time on it so far. Back in the Animal Crossing craze of early 2020, I saw a lot of posts of people blogging their island building … Continue reading My Genshin Impact Teapot Realm – End of 1.5
I received Dandara as a birthday gift back in February and I've finally gotten around to playing it. To be honest, I'm not really sure how to describe my feelings about this game...which is why I'm going to try to do it anyway. Regardless, I'm pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Dandara is … Continue reading Thoughts on “Dandara” (Trials of Fear Edition)
Sony officially announced that the PlayStation Store for the PS3, PSP, and PSVita will be shut down. It's a shame that no one will be able to buy games digitally on those consoles anymore. Physicals will still be in circulation, and I'm curious to see if the prices of big name games will shoot up. … Continue reading The Second Death of the PSP/PSVita
Pokemon's 25th birthday is a day that I've been anticipating for two reasons. The first is that I've been playing Pokemon my whole life. The second is that my birthday happens to be the day right before the day Pokemon was first released which means that I'm turning 25 this Friday and that's a little … Continue reading Reminiscing on 25 Years of Pokemon
