Maybe it’s because XCOM 2 isn’t freaking good!!!

Oh hey, I started this up two Megadrive Mondays ago and I’ve been enjoying it. I’m playing the Purist version of the Gen 4 retranslation via the miracle of AliExpress overdrive, and it’s such a fun breezy time. And God, the soundtrack is so good, damn.

Is it Phantasy Star season on SB…
PSIV is maybe not the greatest 16bit JRPG but I think it’s by far the most replayable. Very brisk, decent length but not too long. Best desert world and techno dungeon music. I like the weird spell names because they sort of follow a naming convention although not consistently.
I was intending to try out the easy mode on PSII on the Mega Drive Mini 2, but I wasn’t really able to commit to it. Maybe I’ll get back to it someday

Phantasy Star IV is bad ass but Chaz looks like a fuckin’ loser putz and that knocks it down a few notches for me…he looks like baby!!

Phantasy Star 4 is very cool and it’s by far the most approachable one, being a more modern sort of JRPG, but I’ll always favour the first two. They’re such neat little dungeon crawlers trying out all sorts of weird things, they just make me happy.

feeling kind of Jeff Minter-ish r/n, for whatever reason
might play some Tempest 4000. that, or- anyone know if I, Robot 2000 or w/e they’re calling it is any good?
Edit: i keep forgetting i actually kind of hate Llamasoft’s stuff. Minter may claim he just wants to make games that make players happy (or something along those lines), but he’s evidently one of those people who just doesn’t get upset, ever
in a don’t care about videogames phase. Maybe it’s time to finally play FF9
can not see this helping

I got that puzzle eventually after someone sorta nudged me towards it (asking if I remember how the first loop ended), although I still went past it a few times.
I put a good hour or so into it today and was the first second loop (really I’ve hopped around so much that I’ve probably played those first 25 puzzles 5 or so times by now) session where I felt I actually accomplished something. I felt clever for seeing what floor 000 was, replenished my locusts a few times only to give them all away, and I got a good 5 or so crystals. That said it feels like I’m still mostly just solving the same puzzles the same way most of the time which is still slowly sapping my enthusiasm away.
I think I found the puzzle that is the sequel to the one you posted, but I quit at said floor as while I get what the clue is suggesting I am unsure how to tie the two together.

Rune constantly calls home Shortstacks in this version and it’s pretty amusing.
I beat Zio tonight and crashed on a snow planet. Game still rules

Broken or inaccessible frescos present a much higher difficulty than the intact ones. For most of the endings, leaving them behind is acceptable. You need to do something either in the fresco’s room itself, or use a hint told to you in the room plus clues in subsequent rooms to fill in what’s missing.

I met Zelda in The Legend of Zelda today, who immediately explained everything that is going to happen for the rest of the game.
