Halfway through, I believe.

GoldenEye007 is pretty cool, though Natalya REALLY likes to follow the aim reticle around... 😅

12. Psychonauts 2

I really enjoyed this one! Everything I could want out of a sequel and then some. I had hard time if I preferred it over the first game or not with this one edging slightly over it just for the sheer QoL with the platforming. (I liked the humor in 1 more though!)

A windows dialog: the window title reads “Bunny” and the contents is a yellow triangle with a black exclamation mark with an image of a grey small bunny next to it. The available buttons below are “Ok” and “Exit”

Anyone remember the cheat code that disables DST from the US?

Been painting my first mini for my roommate’s birthday party. It’s neat! Though I don’t really have the hand stability for this kind of thing. 😅

Started playing Chocobo Mystery Dungeon and honestly? It's pretty interesting! A little weird having ATB in a game like this, but I'm sure I'll get used to it.

11. Izuna 1

It’s decent. The talismans were pretty neat and it feels nice to slap a bunch of talismans on your arm and barely take damage. On the other hand lanterns in this game are quite literally the worst thing ever.

I don’t regret my time with it. Maybe one day I’ll try the extra dungeon.

Yesterday, Yuvi preserved a Klonoa chara-den! This is an avatar you could use for videophone calls on i-mode keitai. Each number on the keypad corresponds to a different emotion!

A reminder in stream chat etiquette that foreshadowing is also spoilers. Someone last night said “get tissues” and it instantly gave away what was about to happen taking away the surprise and emotion from the moment. Please have self control and let people experience things 😑

Egg Thief in Molten Crater in Spyro 3.

I’m stuck on this and I ask my mom for help after chores. She also gets stumped, so then my dad decides to join and gets stuck. We pass the controller around for hours before I catch it. We all victory screech.

And then the turbocharged egg thief shows up. 🤣

Here’s some of my favs from the PS2!

The PS2’s library is filled with so much soul and I never grow tired playing games on it. There’s so much variety, too! Feels like everyone has their special PS2 game they love to death. It’s so good.

The only con for PS2 is the RSOD giving me nightmares. Lol

It really is one of those “Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the Future for the Sega Dreamcast” kind of days.

Wait, what do you mean Dragon's Dogma Online has private servers up?

Finally, FINALLY get to try it out after all these years! Honestly excited to jump into it when I have the time.

Going to add my voice to those asking not to support the way the SEGAGAGA translation was done, especially in the light of some additional food-for-thought from moots, and what we've seen with anime dubs/subbing lately and calling that out as awful and a risk to skilled translators.

If you feel that use of AI art assets at any stage of the process is an automatic out, but ChatGPT translations are fine if they're "checked" by people, it might be worth asking yourself why that is. Because it sounds a whole lot like valuing the work of translators less than other creatives to me.

Until Then is getting a DLC??? I don't know if my heart will ever be ready for it.

The Time for Judgement Has Come: Shadow Hearts!

The start of a new trilogy on PS2 in 2001, following on from the release of Koudelka. And as a fan of pre-rendered background graphics, I'm particularly fond of Shadow Hearts.

I love Steam NextFest, but it honestly feels like a coin flip on whether or not I see this.

It's legitimately depressing.

10. Helen's Mysterious Castle

A really cute RPGMaker game! The combat system is really simple, almost like Dragon Quest 1 with its 1v1 fights. However, the Wait mechanic really kept it fresh. It's cheap, and short, and ultimately, really sweet.

Only con is that now I crave steak. 😅
