I can't believe today was a good play (Games you played today)

Yo! I started FFVII under similar circumstances!

I have also been working from home, and I happen to have been listening to the FF8 soundtrack a lot over the past few days. I think Balamb Garden is my current favorite song from it.

I haven’t been playing any video games, though, other than Dreams for a few minutes each night. Last night, I decided to take a look at some of those Wario games that are always “trending.” I’ve always ignored them in the past. They generally fall into two categories:

  • A cut scene that lasts less than a minute in which Wario dies.
  • A game using a standard template in which an oddly-shaped Wario fights an impossible boss.

And I guess I have to admit that some of them are amusing.

I love FFVIII. It’s my favorite of the PS1 games.

give me the 24hz extra I paid for Square, you cheap fuckers

I dig that instead of doing the normal “hey orchestrate the entire soundtrack” they went “hey let’s get some dudes to make a cool remix album and shove those songs in the game”. some tracks get full suite arrangements, others are like the arranger took the original samples or melody wholesale and messed with the instrumentation a bit. it’s nice enough to the point where it makes having the (nice) option for having the original OST kind of redundant (which probably speaks to the sound producer thinking that the original OST was good enough to begin with so don’t muck with it too much)

BUT ALSO what the hell is wrong with the graphics in this game. it’s not even the visual design, which is strong, but just the allotment of resources; characters look nice but environments are kinda flat and low-poly, the textures are mixed between a nice painterly look and holy shit materials and there’s constant clipping and everyone’s hair is like a bone and never moves

it’s still probably the best Square remake coming out in April

dozens of hours and levels later, I’ve reached Super Hard difficulty in PSO2

it is at this point that PSO2 stops being a mostly braindead murder simulator and turns into Character Action Game Online (at least until my weapon situation gets up to speed)

it’s a good thing I’ve built my hunter around perfect guards in a game that seems to be designed around a bunch of guys repeating “lol what is damage, how is that shit even real, just don’t get hit lol” to each other endlessly

Started a Stellaris game with some friends. We seem to play it in bursts, usually around when the DLCs/patches come out.

I have a fantastic start that’s looking to set me up as the dominant player empire in the galaxy, perhaps empire period, but as per usual any time I’m actually doing well, my one friend in particular has only found two neighboring empires so far, both of which hate her and have superior military strength, and they allied, so most likely, she’ll just die and then the game will end and I’ll be annoyed.

Apparently what with the ongoing plague, Rebecca Sugar and IanJQ are currently having their honeymoon in Animal Crossing.
