Done with my first run of Rogue Legacy 2. Better than the first in basically every way, and fairly flexible with difficulty options. Would recommend. Going to mess with the NG+ stuff on and off between other games.

Despite agreeing with basically every criticism it has gotten, I really enjoyed Rune Factory 5. I hope despite critical reception it has done well enough for the series to live on. I have too many fond memories of the games to want them gone for good.
Picked up Rune Factory 4 Special on a whim a week ago. Forgot how good this game is. Spent most of my play wearing a pumpkin on my head. Kinda want to get the sequel now, even if its reviewed pretty badly.
As of a while ago, done with my first plays of Elden Ring and Triangle Strategy. Far into NG+ on the former, and a little on the latter. Time well spent. Think I'm going to go on a visual novel kick for a while for a change of pace.
So excited for Shin Megami Tensei V in a few days. One of two releases this year I looked forward to for ages, and it's almost here. Nothing else attracted similar hype, so it feels nice to actually be excited for a game again.
Impressions on the DLC for Animal Crossing: -Design systems are fairly in-depth, if you want them to be. -Can't terraform your island with the DLC systems, unfortunately. -Getting a unique currency and not Bells for your work sucks. -Monkey.
Axiom Verge 2 was...odd. It wasn't as frustrating as the first could be at times, but it also didn't attract any strong emotion whatsoever during the ~10 hours or so it took to end it. In a word: "Neat", I guess?
22 minutes, 2 carts, and 2 failed previous attempts later, first clear of Magnamalo in Rise! Could have done a lot better, but eh, I'll take it.
Not sure I'll watch all of it, but I started the OG Gundam to kill time before MH:Rise. Honestly expected it to be much more jarring to watch such an old series. I'm liking it so far.
Took a while, but Kamen Rider Saber's theme song has grown on me. I don't generally skip it anymore. The series itself has been been steadily improving since the end of the first arc a while back. Hope the momentum keeps up.
I wasn't expecting much, but Monster Hunter Stories turned out to be ridiculously charming. There are some annoying / poorly explained aspects, but its good overall. I hope the sequel takes everythin it does right and improves on that base...
Since people here generally have good taste: Any lesser known 3DS (or even DS) games you'd recommend hunting down before they become impossible to find physically? Genre doesn't matter much, just quality.
Binding of Isaac: Repentance finally has a PC launch date! March 31st. I hope the switch port (if that's still a thing) happens this year, but I don't know if that's a realistic hope to have. Welp.
I like this song. It's strangely nostalgic hearing English anime opening covers, which helps a bit... Some of the ones I remember like it was yesterday are 10+ years old now. Welp.
Scoob and Shag was a fun read. Didn't expect the art to evolve quite that much as it progressed. Finished it and some of the other suggested comics, currently on Ava's Demon. The art is fantastic. Hopefully I can learn from it, at least a little.
Can anyone recommend some decent webcomics, preferably story-driven? Doesn't matter if they're game-related or not. (Yes, I could and will google it later, but that's not quite the same.)
Huh. Switch is getting a new monster hunter next year, along with a sequel to the "stories" spinoff. Not sure how to feel about the former. Will depend on what QoL changes, if any, are implemented from World. I suppose we'll see one way or the other.
For a song based on a game I have no interest in, this is pretty damn catchy. It's been a while since I posted on qtoid... Hope you're all doing as well as circumstances allow. Still working through a lot of things, but hanging in there.
I wanted to share this video. Keep on being your kick-ass selves. Even when I can't think of anything to say, I'm grateful for this site and its community. That is all.
Almost done with Kamen Rider Kuuga. Oldest series in the franchise I'd seen before was Blade. Neat to see what things did and didn't become traditional meta-series tropes. More relevant: Enter the Gungeon remains good. Try it out.
Finally beat Dead Cells with a boss cell active, after more runs than I care to know. Not sure if I have the patience or reflexes for 2BC and beyond, but I look forward to finding out... Eventually.
I'm starting to understand artists who call layers a crutch. They have their place and are certainly needed in specific contexts, but what I was doing (like a dozen or more layers for one drawing) didn't work in the slightest. Only made me anxious.
