Always trying to clear the never-ending backlog and the MiSTer only made it worse.
Huge fan of visual novels, survival horror, JRPGs, Gundam, and Kamen Rider.

Here's my Top 100 Games Of All Time (as of 2025).
It took quite a bit of time to narrow down the proper order and there's still many more games I've yet to play that I'm sure will make their way onto the list in the future.

Additional thoughts:
- The camera combined with various effects really work against this game and often obscure enemy tells and their attack attributes.
- Unite Guts and Spring should have been default abilities

Game I Dropped #1
The Wonderful 101 (Wii U)
Maybe this one isn't for me.
It was a struggle to figure out how the game works. Once I grasped the combat, the game introduced setpieces that lacked signposting on where or what to do that had me desperately looking for the fun factor as it went on.

My new Thief 2 Fan Mission, Reflection in Red, is out! I am very proud of this one, and it is by far my most ambitious work in the Dark Engine to date. www.ttlg.com/forums/showt...

I'm probably not picking up Metroid Prime 4 until I see how Switch 1 performance and visual quality ends up.
I would hold off until I get a Switch 2 but I don't foresee myself getting one until there's a new Monolith Soft game.

Went back and replayed the first mission in The Wonderful 101 and I'm now a lot more competent than I was before.

Well, fuck. Revoking any and all Peripeteia recommendations (and I wish I could un-back it on Kickstarter) based on the very thinly veiled transphobia from the dev (the first one in the screenshots here).
I hate this.

Acquaintance grabbed these screencaps. Idk if it's getting purged.
"Second stage is people rejecting conspiracy discourse" is genuinely hilarious, I gotta teach em a little about Yakub and maybe they'll change their tune
