Wario living in his best possible castle, resting up until it's time to boot Master of Disguise.
Played through 100% of Wario World last week. Interesting game - was cool to move Wario in 3D, but the excessive combat (a Treasure staple) was definitely taxing at times. This week will be more Prin Prin, more KSS derust, and 1 or 2 more casuals (probably PSX?) #pastebinmonday #ClaudeGameReviews
There are two Goemon RPGs for Game Boy Color that have never been translated. I created tools that will be useful for translating these games (if anyone is ever interested in doing so). You can read more about it here:

Finished Island of Happiness last week - easily the worst Story of Seasons game I've ever played, and one of the worst games I've streamed period. Read more about it here: pastebin.com/8dZBmHTr
This week will be random stuff - prob Prin Prin RTA, some KSS derust, & a shorter casual #pastebinmonday
My speedrun tutorial for the Any% run of "The Mask" is officially up (has timestamps and other useful links): youtu.be/UXjctKPFhoM | This week will just be more Island of Happiness gaming (it finally got interesting after we built that 2nd bridge ! !) #pastebinmonday
Damn, hope things get better soon for you and your family.
Getting past the third door of Field 27 in Umihara Kawase Shun after 5+ hours and being rewarded with a "JACK POT".
I know the portable Harvest Moon games haven't been great, but this one? It'll fix everything...
Mask tutorial went well, will get it uploaded on my main YT this week. Umihara Kawase Shun has been very challenging, but we'll get through it (I hope). The next Harvest Moon game, Island of Happiness, will begin as soon as its finished - hopefully it's a succinct playthrough . . . #pastebinmonday
Saving Cameron Diaz in "The Mask" for the Super Nintendo in 6 minutes, 36 seconds.
I got 6:36 in The Mask last week! Final running for now - can def be improved, but just happy the last two bosses finally went well. Will do a live tutorial for the game tomorrow to explain all the tech. Local Record: youtu.be/GLQiiUdc6KM | Live VOD: youtu.be/tWqme4sMQDY #pastebinmonday
Very unexpectedly Konami has announced a Goemon collection, coming July 2nd 2026. Actually seeing them acknowledge Goemon in a serious way is pretty surprising to see. This release is even labeled as a 40th anniversary release. The Fami, SFC, and GB(C) games are included. www.konami.com/games/goemon
Nah, I didn't really mind much. When doing hundo, you're also forced into a bonus game each time to win extra lives (not a super meaningful reward), but it wasn't really a big deal. Prob one of those things you'd only notice in a race setting.
Getting 100% in Mario vs. Donkey Kong for the GBA. I did all the e-Reader levels afterwards, too!
Getting a 6:39 in The Mask for the Super Nintendo - but it's still not a 6:37 . . .
Mario vs. Donkey Kong was alright - had some okay puzzles & funny voice acting. Also PB'd 8 whole times in The Mask last week, ending with a 6:39... but, I still want to keep doing runs :) More of that this week, as well as a first play of a GBC game about a certain half-genie . . ๐งโโ๏ธ #pastebinmonday
I remembered my mantra and didn't have negative thoughts
No PBs in The Mask last week, but made a lot of progress on understanding more about the game. Also played through Croc 1, Faxanadu, and finished The Humans. Faxanadu was cool, the others not so much. This week is more Mask runs, as well as Mario fighting Donkey Kong on the GBA #pastebinmonday
Week 1 of Year of No Plans went great! Did a lot of Mask runs and made good progress on The Humans (a jank puzzle game). Here's my latest Mask PB, still want to improve it to around a 6:42 or so: www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1wL... This week will be a casual game or two + some more runs #pastebinmonday
Finished all the 2025 review stuff last week. This pastebin should cover the details of everything (too lazy for a sorted tier list this year): pastebin.com/XxdiwcC3 2026, The Year of No Plans, Good Games Only, and Getting More Sleep, can now finally begin ! ! #pastebinmonday #ClaudeGameReviews
Happy 2026! In 2025, I drew a picture during Melty Mondays every single week, which was a pretty fun challenge. You can find all of them here, to share with friends & family: photos.app.goo.gl/WYgthtA6aFMv... This week will be the speedrun & kuso reviews, oh boy . . . #pastebinmonday
Goemon DS is the last "real" Goemon game before they went full pachinko.
Holiday Sonics have concluded - enjoyed Sonic 1, Sonic Advance 3, and Sonic 3D Blast. Started Wario Land: Shake It! on Thursday, that game's fantastic. Should finish up the hundo tomorrow, then we'll journey through Goemon DS for New Year's Eve. #pastebinmonday #ClaudeGameReviews
New movie published! Go and see N64 Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine "all story levels" by Bovice in 45:23.500

Steam Recap 2025. There sure was a lot of late-night UNI2 with pant...
Some rough 2D Sonic games on the 'ol stream last week, but looking to finish them up by Wednesday. On Thursday, I'll start a game that will save Christmas. Also, here's my Steam recap (Super Touhou RPG wasn't counted). Finally, it's a few days early, but - Merry Holidays!! ๐ #pastebinmonday
Wait a minute... cows can't fly... COWS CAN'T FLY ! !
Played through Milano's Odd Job Collection last week, an official localization of a 1999 PS1 game. It's cute for sure, but it suffers a lot from lack of content and replay value. This week will be more 2D Sonic 1st plays, and more Mask RTA. #ClaudeGameReviews #pastebinmonday
Twitch Recap 2025 (Viewer)
Twitch Recap 2025 (Streamer)
Twitch recap time. Viewer version was again dominated by who streams while I'm awake & not streaming. For streamer, my 3rd game was the fake one I set for FFXIII-2 & LR last year. Plans for this week are 2D Sonic first plays, The Mask RTA, and The Claude Awards on Thursday. #pastebinmonday
Star Ocean: The Second Story R and Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology will fix everything in 2026!
SO5's post-game sealed its fate as a wack game, sadly. The 2026 games will fix everything, though! For tri-Aces streamed, ranking is now VP2 > VP1 > SO4 > LR > [Power Gap] > FFXIII-2 > Radiata = SO1 FDR > SO5. Snatcher & Sonic 1 this week? #pastebinmonday #ResonanceOfFateNovember
A barney from "Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness" wishing you a happy Thanksgiving!
Star Ocean 5's been alright - seems like it has some cool ideas, but execution's been a little questionable. Might finish it this week? Oh, and since I usually only post on Mondays - happy Thanksgiving! (early) #pastebinmonday #ResonanceOfFateNovember
This was required for one of the achievables.
It will fix everything, bros.
Finished writing up my thoughts on running the FFT Remaster: pastebin.com/da1ke5FP Overall, wasn't a fan. SO1 FDR has been okay, should finish it tomorrow. Star Ocean 5 will be after that - it'll fix everything and be the perfect SO game #pastebinmonday #ResonanceOfFateNovember
It's good for a one time playthrough, but don't go for hundo (or if you do, use a guide).
Obtaining a time of 2 hours, 25 minutes, 56 seconds in the Any% Tactician difficulty of Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles without the use of the mouse or loading save files during the run.
I didn't have time to alter the image to be funny, but I love Resonance of Fate November.
Got a 2:25:56 in the Any% Tactician category of FFT Remaster - final running for now. Still writing up my thoughts, but don't think the game is good for speedruns. This week begins Star Ocean: First Departure R! www.twitch.tv/videos/26145... #pastebinmonday #ResonanceOfFateNovember
Beating the Final Fantasy Tactics Remaster on the hardest difficulty in less than 2 hours, 35 minutes.
Why did this guy get his own cutscene, tho
Got another huge PB in Any% Tactician last week. Will do one more FFTR exclusive week for sub 2:30 before starting Star Ocean First Departure R casual next week. Also, CV64 was a funny game. youtu.be/g1HY2sT4KaI youtu.be/kgQ9an3iU0I #pastebinmonday #ClaudeGameReviews #ResonanceOfFateNovember
Castlevania 64 race except you play as Reinhardt and it's a 1st playthrough.
PB'd by ~13 minutes last Thursday, bringing Any% Tactician down to a 2:50:01. I've already improved the route & will run it this week. On Halloween, however, Aria October returns for one day, for a Castlevania 64 1st play race with L C C. www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxOd... #pastebinmonday
Completed my first speedrun of the remaster last week (Any% Tactician) in a little over 3 hours. Still a lot of work to do, but having a lot of fun - might end up playing longer than expected, and delay Resonance of Fate November a bit. www.youtube.com/watch?v=11ty... #pastebinmonday
Matsuno did the funny ending
FFT Remaster routing has been going well - hoping to do my first run later this week. Will be odd running FFT without having any breaks, but Super Touhou RPG trained me for this. Pictured is the funniest scene from the four sound novels we did last week. #pastebinmonday #FFTIC
Just took a look at this - looks very cute! May check out the demo at some point.
Farlem.
Platinum Trophy in Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles!
Hundo'd the Remaster last week - it was okay. Obviously there were many changes I disliked, but it's always fun to have a new version of FFT to play. Wrote up my current thoughts here: pastebin.com/Yhk7FTTt Speedrun routing this week. #pastebinmonday #ClaudeGameReviews #FFTIC
