I beat Carrion on the Switch, so that's one game off of my backlog. I had to use a map and a guide to get the final containment units (optional power-ups that boost your energy, make you more resistant to fire, or give you an extra appendage), though I'm glad that I got them. Even if, by that point in the game, they didn't mean much (there weren't many enemies left), and the Switch version doesn't have achievements, it felt good to find everything.

By the end of the game, it felt great to rampage through a facility of shady Weyland-Yutani-style scientists (at least, that's how I interpreted them) as a near-unstoppable juggernaut, though the actual ending of the game was chilling.

It was a short game (it took me a little longer to beat than Mega Man 11 did, so somewhere around 5-7 hours, I think), but I enjoyed it. It's kind of weird for a Metroidvania game to not have any form of map, though.

Next up on my backlog is Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon. I'm terrible at the old-school Castlevania games, though thankfully, this one has options for more casual players.

There are to many limited run switch games being made. I do not have that much money for physical releases. This is getting annoying. Either buy it now or never.

Ikiruga
Grandia
Goose game

I missed shantee. Not paying 120 fora physical cart. I hate that is the standard now. Digital sucks.

I beat the final boss for Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon (I was already on level 6, and there were 8 levels), only to find out that it's more like the first half (or third?) of the game.

I assume that I'll have to replay stages with other characters, though I'll have to look into what Nightmare Mode is first. I'm terrible at the old-school Castlevania games, and it's kind of telling that even on Casual mode, I found the last two levels of this game to be frustrating. (particularly the last one - one segment reminded me of Quick Man's instant-death beams from Mega Man 2, which is never a good thing) If it's "the same stages, except enemies hit harder", I might just move on to Curse of the Moon 2.

I bought A Short Hike this morning after watching the Indie World presentation and reading some reviews. Took me about 2 hours to finish but there's still some things for me to do in it. It was a very relaxing game that encourages exploration and has some funny dialogue. It kind of reminds me of some flash games I'd play where the focus was on traversing and finding things.

I'd recommend if you're looking for something to relax for a couple hours with. Take advantage of the sale though since it is as the title suggests, short.

OK I should have not watched Public Freakout videos as the last thing before I get to bed. Just saying one thing. Some people really don't know humility, only exceptionalism and it's sad. It's gonna annoy me going to my local shopping centre where masks are mandatory and yet some aren't wearing them, it's a little wrecked in the head.

Just to finalise it off for me as I'm probably the only major fan of the series on the forum.

Hyperdimension Neptunia is now 10 years old! And so it comes up to four years since I got introduced to a series that means a lot to me.

So regardless of this. It's a goodnight from me and I'll speak in the morning to you all.
Letting you know you are not the only major fan of Neptunia here I have completed the original trilogy on PS3 and the Re;birth versions, I even got a vita for Persona 4 and Producing Perfection, I thought I was the only fan here i'm glad to know i'm not : )

I was wondering why one of my old posts criticizing the terribad ending of SvtFoE got liked all of the sudden..
I see this as a

and now with my stupid-ass plan done, I shall snooze until morning.

also this joke only works because of the shock factor so I can’t really do it again without pissing everyone off lol

Here's a fun game: name a Johto Pokemon that doesn't need another evolution (excluding already three-stage lines or Gen 1 evolutions).

I'm waiting.

Gligar. Gliscor is already a really solid competitive pokemon with a really cool design.

Skarmory
Wobbuffet

Heracross

Plenty of others that are totally cool visually and just have mediocre stats, like Ursaring, Octillery, Delibird, or Smeargle. Smeargle is dope.

I’m at the boss of the sea Tower in Origami King and can I just say:
This might be my favorite track in the game currently. It’s beautifully composed.

This would be an interesting Death Battle!
Bull Shark vs Carrion.jpg

Bull Shark vs The Monster
(Maneater vs Carrion)
The shark would be doing shark stuff like swimming and finding prey, but when it finds many of the wildlife assimilated. She knows that something isn't right as the shark goes in search of who is causing this, after several hours she finds the culprit: A large red tentacled amorphous blob who is devouring an alligator as it tries to get free but doesn't make it. The Monster notices the Bull Shark as it roars at the predatory fish as the two roar then charge at each other in a battle of teeth and tentacles.
