Forgot why greyhound is awful. Bus is going to be two hours late to take me an hour away. Could have gotten a ride from my host but decided to make things "easy"
I am very surprised by today's direct. Yoko Taro tabletop card game RPG probably the highlight. But like, the everything else? And being able to play Aria of Sorrow without emulating it? Today? Aria of Sorrow, today?!
Not expecting anything new from this direct but a Smash character. One last hype push for Dread. Some more looks E3 stuff. Maybe a couple smaller titles. And something new that I already don't expect.
I can't access youtube or gmail but every other website I visit is A okay. Wassupwidat?

Super Metroid isn't a bad game, but it sure is packed with some annoying, finicky shit. I wish I had a chance to play through it when I was 10, would've really knocked my socks off. That Metroid Fusion, though...
Super Metroid on the Switch emulator feels kinda bad. Can't remap the controls, so activating missiles is done on the minus button, and it's super uncomfortable. Would be better on the pro controller, but that would mean getting out of bed.
Got my copy of Enter the Gungeon on Switch from eStarland. A little worried it's just a cellophaned used copy, but I'm not planning on opening it to inspect. Either way I'm glad to have one of my favorite games to display if I ever set down some roots
Found a new copy of a game I can't find anywhere else on a site called eStarland. Anyone ever buy from these guys before? A quick Google search says legit, with a couple of gripes sprinkled here and there.
Steam Deck is an okay name I guess, but from here on out you won't catch me calling it anything but Steamwich.
I'm planning on buying a laptop that can handle some more recent gaming this autumn, so no Steam Deck for me. Problem is, I don't know anything about computer or laptop specs. Help! Tell me how to live my life, Dtoid.
Hot take: People that buy from scalpers are worse than the scalpers themselves.
Playing Picross makes me feel like an elderly person, just content doing my puzzles while daytime television plays in the background.
Mega Man 9 is so freaking good. Going for a lemons only, no E box run for bosses and made it through the main 8. Not sure how I'll fare on the Wily levels.
Not sure about this, but curious. Currently working a seasonal hotel job in Alaska at the end(?) of the pandemic. AMA
My dad's birthday came and went, but I keep looking for interesting jigsaw puzzles, partly for future gift ideas and partly for fun. Today's find: Dr. Livingston's Anatomy series. There are 7 in total that create the human body, top to bottom.
Finished Cadence of Hyrule, wasn't too shabby! Was dissapointed the dungeons weren't proper Zelda dungeons, but it's a Crypt game first, according to the name. There is some interesting post game stuff that I'm not sure if I want to get into just yet.
The man on the left appears quite enlightened by his brothers johnson.
Who has two thumbs?
Did you all hear the news??? The last Metroid is in captivity! The galaxy is healing <3
I've never finished DKC 2, having another go at it through the Switches online thing. Reminded me of this classic
Made it through level 5 of Thumper and enjoyed it. It felt easier than level 4, but probably just a mood thing.
Think I found a new favorite novelty jigsaw, the Impossibles series from Bepuzzled. No defined edge, 5 extra pieces, and a repeating background that isn't shown completely on the box. Don't think they are still being made though.
Just noticed the BotW 2 trailer is titled "Sequel to The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild". Wonder what the eventual title will be.
Looking for interesting jigsaw puzzles for my Dad's birthday, he had a knee replacement last month and he's a fan of em. My favorite that I've found is a crime mystery. No reference, the image is the solution to the crime story included in the box.
It is kinda funny that Prime 4 was announced as a logo E3 2017 to get people hype for the Switch, and Samus Returns was also announced to release later that year. Now we are getting Dread this year from the same devs and we still only got that logo for P4
My highlight of E3 this year is easily Rabbids. The original is probably the most fun I've had on my Switch. Highlight for me from the Ninty direct is new/old Advance Wars. As for Prime 4, take your time Retro, we know you've got it where it counts.
Saw someone asking about Katana Zero dlc news, so I went looking myself. Found a pretty recent update from the devs tumblr, no release date but it's definitely coming along. https://blog.askiisoft.com/
Is anyone else having trouble commenting on articles? Like, not a disqus issue, but typing out a comment on mobile. I'll type in characters and they won't appear and it's just super laggy.
