New Ecco the Dolphin games happening and all I see from Bluesky is "Nobody wants this!" / "Who asked for this?!" / "We didn't need this!"

Meanwhile, I linked my partner to an article and she's like:

So, I did finally beat Galaxy Princess Zorana last night! Afterwards, I tried looking at Steam guides to see how difficult it would be to rack up some trophies and I think I'll just casually knock out excess paths in the future, because that's gonna take A LOT of saves/pathing to do!

Thoughts:

Well, I made it significantly further in Galaxy Princess Zorana today before I inevitably failed to survive multiple assassination attempts on my life. My girl just cannot catch a break!💀🪦

I'm pretty sure my Switch summary would say something like, "1 Game, 50 hours, Pokemon Legends Z-A", so I'll just save myself the trouble of checking to find out and we'll go with that.😅

Figured I may as well get my ranked games list up for 2025 for stuff I played/replayed through last year. Feel free to raise your pitchforks in anger because (insert game) isn't #1 but Clair Obscur is!💜🪦

Me, playing Galaxy Princess Zorana: *I'm going to make her like me!*

(fails Etiquette checks x100)
(fails Galactic Relations checks x100)
(fails Imperial History checks x100)
(passes basic Empathy checks -> nobody likes her)
(dies because she sucks at Science)

MOST ACCURATE GAME EVER.🪦

Also, hi!

I've added some people on Steam since I got home, but if I missed you or you have an overwhelming desire to add me and then never message me, I'm totally down!💜

I was trying to knock out short games on my backlog, but then I settled for Umamusume the last several days while I wait for Wednesday before I participate in the Ni no Kuni event for the Backlog Haters Club.

I got my first A-rank (Maruzensky) and I randomly pulled Cleric version of Grass Wonder!💜

Games released in 2025 that I've played, possibly ranked highest to lowest (and not counting Deltarune because I didn't want to grade each chapter while ignoring chapters 1 and 2).

(non-spoiler: they'd be near the top of my list)

Shadow is easily the best character in Sonic Crossworlds.

My partner drove off an edge as Shadow gained invincibility and he goes, "FAREWELL."

She hits Charmy (she knocks Charmy to last) and Shadow goes, "Do better, Charmy."

And of course, when she's doing Race Park Extreme Match Mode, she ---

Played through Fear the Spotlight and aced the stealth sections until the final boss, where things got a little...janky.😅

Unsure if the game is really easy, so I'm just going to pretend I was really good at playing it!

Only a few more days until the Ni no Kuni adventure begins!💜

Beat Nubby's Number Factory on my first go yesterday, then kept playing it in Endless Mode until my brain melted around Stage 300. I think my brain finds it difficult to stop playing "Numbers Go Up" games that just drop ridiculous values.😅

Well, did a couple more runs between last night and today and got to the "end" of the available game and crushed the final boss...only to be rewarded with stuff that would have made the fight not even be a struggle.😜

Two of the three mons on my team are from the first three monsters I recruited!💜

Frieren is excellent and I'm glad there are numerous gifs of her giving head pats to other characters. I look forward to S2 when it inevitably happens.💜

My Aethermancer thoughts after several hours of gameplay:

-- It's a fun roguelike that takes the combat aspects of Monster Sanctuary and focuses on those in the usual "pick your path" scenarios with superbosses at the end of each area!

-- It's also very limited because it's still in Early Access.

Quote this with your reaction to getting left behind during The Rapture!

Trust me, that's me in the gif and I just keep doing that all day on repeat. I might stop for a moment just to high-five somebody.💜

If you'd like, QTP with a gif of an under appreciated Pokémon.

How about four?💜

-- Dhelmise
-- Palossand (love the shiny!)

Rolled credits on Silksong with a couple days to go before Aethermancer drops, yay!

Since Aethermancer is from the devs responsible for Monster Sanctuary (which was awesome!), it's worth noting that Monster Sanctuary is 75% off right now!💜
