Just finished Forspoken!
My first new game completion of 2025! 😁

Have not raged so much at a game in a very long time! Early in the game I really liked the combat, but it just turns unfair later on!

Though honestly, I did play it on Hard Mode, so maybe I asked for it. 😑
The first one just sings to me! 🤣

Some of these are pretty funny
As a lower leg amputee myself I gotta say that first one is frickin' brilliant! 😆

If it weren't such a pain in the butt to walk on crutches (especially just one), I'd consider trying this one myself. 😅
Clip Studio has kinda turned into Adobe Jr. lately anyway. They pulled a major bait-and-switch with their, "buy once and get updates forever" bullcrap. Not happy with them at all.
There was a reprint of the physical version at some point so the price came way down. It goes for about $45-$50 US on ebay these days.
Ah I didn't know he did Gravity Rush/Daze as well! Those games were the sole reason I ended up buying a PS4. Didn't get one until a few months after the PS5 released and everyone was getting rid of theirs for cheap. 😅

Here's my favorite track from the series.

A game on my (Xbox) wishlist is ALWAYS on sale, and it's ALWAYS one of the same 3 games. 🙄

However, I'm not inclined to actually spend money on Xbox anymore after the direction they've taken in the last 2 years.

I won't be selling my Xbox, but what I have for it now is probably all I will have. 😑
I've never used Spotify, or any music streaming service. Never been a fan of them. I mean, you never know when you may not have a stable internet connection, after all. I've been team MP3 all the way.
This was always one of my favorites.
The latest price hike? No.

I was out after the 2nd price hike. 😑
I never had a GameGear myself. My cousin had one, so I got to play a couple of games ever so briefly. I remember he had Sonic the Hedgehog, and some Power Rangers game. That was all I got to try.

As far as the handhelds go, I got the most enjoyment out of my Atari Lynx in those days. 😁
If you were to die and become a ghost...could your body still become a zombie? 🤔

Would that mean you could be in two places at once? 🤔

Could you fight yourself? 🤔

October brings many questions.
I need to play more versions of Space Harrier. I own the TurboGrafx port and it's the only one I've played, but it's a bit hard on the eyes. 😑

Also, I always recommend HyperZone (by HAL) on SNES to fans of Space Harrier! It's like if Space Harrier and F-Zero had a bebe. 😅

Yeah, we were mutual follows on the dead bird site once upon a time. I dunno if he just snapped one day, or if I didn't see it sooner, he seemed okay to begin with but suddenly turned into a major nutbar. We are not on friendly terms. 😑
I don't have a GOG account, but I browsed a bit through what's on sale. I can definitely recommend Holy Potatoes We're In Space!

I wasn't expecting much out of it, but I was pleasantly surprised to find it an entertaining tactical combat game! ...featuring potato people...yeah. 😅
If there were, Nintendo would not have hesitated sued over that, rather than re-filing patents on monster capture and riding mechanics, which is what they've taken them to court over.
And they can go straight into another can. 😠
(That is to say, I don't like peaches. 😅)
For the record, I've never played Palworld, nor do I really have any desire to, but there's nothing inherently wrong with new works being derivative of the old. Almost EVERYTHING is derivative of something.

The OG Donkey Kong was VERY derivative of King Kong. Nintendo even got sued, but they won.
This really reminds me of how Nintendo fans got upset with me when I asked why Tunic is praised for taking VERY obvious stylistic inspirations from Zelda, but those same fans call for Nintendo to sue Palworld into oblivion, even falsely accusing them of using AI models.

The double-standard is real.
Iridion 3D!

I had this one back in the day! Great little shooter that almost no one seems to have heard of! Game deserved more recognition!
1982. My sister had Pac-Man on Atari around the time. Not sure I'd ever tried a 7-up yet.

I was just a toddler, so my memory that far back is fuzzy. I became afraid of butterflies, chicken drumsticks, and our front lawn all in a short time (it's a long story). Surprised I even remember that! 😅
Maybe I should start WINNING the lottery. 🤨
I can't claim to know the limitations of your motor control issues, but as an amputee myself, I can sort of relate, even though my amputation, being my leg, doesn't directly affect my gaming. It does affect other things, so in the general sense, I do get it.
Where people will trash a game for being "too easy" and relegate it to the junk pile for not having more difficult gameplay modes.

Some games just aren't targeted toward everyone, and that's okay. There are plenty of games out there to fit both preferences.
