A host of Markers on the Map. Mind full of video games, anime, card games, Star Wars, and 80s music. https://bsky.app/profile/markersonthemap.bsky.social

If the late night Olympics can put things in a Starbucks hierarchy, then so can I. This week’s “Tall” game is Stranger of Paradise. I got lost in the mix before I realized it’s an infinite numbers go up game with potentially hundreds of hours of min-maxing.

Art. I’d like to develop a style. Obviously I’m way out of practice with art. Got some new brush pens and a water brush pen. Just messing around with the pens, but sick of the same stock anime character pose I draw whenever I don’t use a reference.

I don’t want to set any expectations, but I did get some new art pens today. I guess I tend to buy strange things when I’m feeling maddening levels of anxiety. Maybe I’ll draw something.

Carmageddon: Rogue Shift. The first brand new game of 2026 I’ve played is a sort of racing/car combat roguelike from the Redout creators that feels like Twisted Metal Kart and it’s kind of amazing. A little unwieldy after 2 hours, but I’m getting fairly consistent.

I wasn’t aware people didn’t like the Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase today. I thought it was fine. Super Bomberman shadow drop was cool.

First Descendant has some of the best skins in any game ever. It’s just too bad that playing First Descendant is an endless stream of overwhelming anxiety.

Battle passes and their "one skin I really want" energy. Rivals is the worst with this right now. At least Black Ops 7's Kagan skin is on page 3 of the regular pass. More than likely passing on Blackcell this season. Thank God.

I also think my V on this version is the coolest she's ever looked.

Cyberpunk on Switch 2 has gotta be the craziest port ever. It's so smooth on here and looks just like the PS5 version graphically.

The Stranger of Paradise DLC is something else. Too much to get involved with right now, but I used Extra Mode to get to the end of the first DLC. This game feels more optimization heavy than anything I've ever played.

I wish I liked Stranger of Paradise. The nonstop weapon and equipment drops has me playing on the easiest mode because I cannot be bothered to sift through all this nonsense, but I’m just not enjoying the moment-to-moment. Endlessly cool though and the references are wild.

I’m also currently so over any mode of Fortnite that’s not Festival to the point where I’m averse to just interacting with the game right now.

Currently running Stranger of Paradise, Mass Effect 2, Kiwami 2, Hades 2… started a new run of Arkham City. Clearly my goal of having one main game is going well.

Blackcell Season 2 definitely looks pretty bland. Most of the skins do this season. Might get the pass for the main Operator, but it’s looking like a semi-easy skip or one to not care about getting 100% on. You won’t see me complaining about that.

I never have the patience to sit down with Flight Sim and really get into it, but the dedication you need to have to this one single game is more than I can usually handle.

Shoutout to the skin and color palette I want in 2XKO costing a total of $38. You know I’m not about to spend that much on a skin.

Highguard. Yikes. Doesn’t feel accessible at all and definitely just feels complicated. Guess it’s just not for me.

The goal is, if Kiwami 3 releases before I'm done with Kiwami 2, to, under no circumstance, rush through Kiwami 2. This game is so good and I want to see all it has to offer.

Just learned you have to reach Unreal rank to get all the Crown Jam rewards. Gold already feels like suffering. I’m good. Back to unranked.
