Personal account of the guy that runs Just Another Game Review @jagreview.com

Posting almost exclusively about video games in a desperate attempt to get my Discover feed to do the same (it's not working, someone please help me).
I just beat My Friendly Neighborhood a few days ago and wanted to mess around with some of the cheats I'd unlocked during my run. Turns out starting a new game with cheats doesn't disable achievements, and accidentally triggering the ending unlocked three achievements in the funniest order possible.

New favorite mall activity: find pop culture stores with a graphic tee display, look for stacks of any shirt with someone's face on them, and fold the top of the stack in such a way that it deletes their nose.

I love Steam Next Fest

Slime Rancher 2 Pro Tip: If you can successfully get a Lucky Slime zapped by a bolt of lightning, it does absolutely nothing.

This game popped up in my Discovery Queue. I know train games are notorious for their ridiculous pricing and DLC practices that put EA's treatment of The Sims to shame, but having four different editions and over $3,000 in DLC when it's not even out for another month still took me by surprise.

Sometimes the pursuit of completing games requires me to do terrible, terrible things (this dialogue option was tied to an achievement because @miscatinytale.bsky.social is EVIL).

You'd best believe I reloaded my save file so he could go right back to happy dancing.

Finally made the time to start playing Misc. A Tiny Tale and I just found out that my little guy SQUEAKS when he crouch-walks. This might just be a 10/10 game already.

You gotta do it, June.

Got the itch to play a quick round of Word Play. Took the ABC Challenge modifier card at round one for kicks (gain bonus points if your next word contains the next letter in the alphabet), and miraculously made it all the way to Z on my first attempt. God bless refresh-heavy upgrades.

We didn't win the Arima Kinen, but we made up for it by sweeping the URA Finale on our first attempt.

So Mabinogi added this webpage popup that tells you how many hours you've played the game (a stat that's never been fully accessible before), and uh...yeah, that makes sense.

Now I just need MapleStory to do this too so I calculate exactly how much of my life Nexon has taken from me over the years.

We made it to the URA Finals after blowing all my retries in the semifinals, and Vodka decides that using her skills during the race is BORING and that it would be COOLER if she just wasted them at the last second.

I guess she was right, though, because she still won and got me my third Finals win.

Pictured: the Umamusume subreddit being very normal about the upcoming Kitasan Black support card banner, which is apparently a very good card.

I laugh now, but I'm probably going to dump all my free carats into it and get nothing as payback, lol.

Let it be known that the game really did not want her to win this career. I had to redo the qualifiers because of this, but thankfully she got first place in the runback and made it all the way through the finals. Clearly the Winning Equation cannot be stopped.

Biwa Hayahide's Winning Equation turns the eighth favorite into a first place winner and nets me my second URA Finals gold.
