This is what Internet message boards were made for

I grabbed Transistor since it is heavily discounted on the eShop right now. (Tempted to snag Bastion and play it again too... ) So far I'm not in love with the Turn() system but maybe it will grow on me as I get better at the game.

Yeesh, took you forever to add another song. I was tempted to just finish this myself Lemme listen and think for a while and I'll get back with another track...

I thought the season started pretty good, up until they found the shelter. It's been really random since they had to flee the shelter though. Having not read the manga, it doesn't really bother me that I'm missing parts. If the anime is still good despite being different from the manga then that's fine. But the last couple episodes were not great and then they do this terrible clip-show Hopefully the anime redeems itself over the second half of the season.

Recap episodes always suck but this is especially bad timing for a recap. Ugh.

RIP Chick Corea He was an incredible player and composer

1) Taiko??? no Tatsujin Rhythmic Adventure Pack #1 2) Final ?Fantasy?? ???V 3) Chasm 4) Cosmic Star Heroine I'm on a roll this week! This was a very fun little RPG. Not too long, another "just right" sort of game for me. In the end it was a bit too easy (I assume I was on normal difficulty), but I'm OK with that and I don't feel the need to play it again for a greater challenge. There were a few tedious moments, but otherwise I really liked. I just don't have much patience for parts in RPGs where it's like you gotta talk to this NPC, then this NPC who will give you some item, then you give that item to another NPC who does something with it, and then you can advance to the next part of the story. Running around a town for half an hour talking to every NPC to figure out what the heck to do next just ain't fun. At least build a mini dungeon or boss battle into it if I have to go on some wild goose chase to advance the story Fortunately that silliness only came up once or twice. Zeboyd Games have done some cool stuff. I also like Cthulu Saves the World when I played it years ago.

Yeah I'm enjoying all of the shows you listed there a lot as well. Haven't watched this week's episode of Wonder Egg Priority yet, probably gonna get to that tonight.

Getting back into Cosmic Star Heroine after I got lazy a long time ago. Took me a stupid long time this morning to figure out what to do next from where I left off, but now I'm back on track I enjoyed Chasm so much. Gonna have to keep my eye out for deals on similar games on the eShop.

1) Taiko??? no Tatsujin Rhythmic Adventure Pack #1 2) Final ?Fantasy?? ???V 3) Chasm I really enjoyed this one! Couldn't put it down since I downloaded it last week. If it's still on sale, it's definitely worth the $10 (CAD) it was going for. My completion time was 8:18:05 and I apparently rescued 100% of the NPCs and explored 99.9% of the game. Not exactly sure what tiny thing I missed. Not a super long game, but just right for me.

Attack on Titan

I've also been playing a lot of NBA 2K Playgrounds 2 this week. The games are short and fun. I'll never unlock all the players unless I pay for it (not happening!) but I am trying to get a few more of my favourites.

Grabbed Chasm from the eShop since it's on sale, I'm about 90 minutes into it and having fun. Seems like a fairly basic Metroidvania sort of thing. I like.

I guess that depends on what Price has left in the tank. They've also got Urias who had potential to be quite good I think. Bauer's career numbers are remarkably similar to that of Tanner Roark, just one or two good seasons and the rest OK/mediocre. I doubt he'll be as good this summer as he appeared to be last summer but only time will tell.

Today is Opening Day, let's get ready to play ball! Since all the sports went away in March, I almost completely stopped caring about or consuming sports media. Haven't listened to a podcast or read a blog post; I think I've only used my Athletic account like two or three times in the last 3-4 months. And I'm definitely not sitting around at home watching archived games, old highlights, etc. But this morning I read a primer on the Jays' roster for this summer, and all of a sudden I'm feeling kinda excited and hopeful to see what these kids can do. I guess tomorrow I will officially end my sports diet to start watching Jays games. Who else is going to be watching Opening Day? Did you check out the Opening Night games last night? What teams / players are you looking forward to seeing this summer?

Happy birthday!

Bauer going to the Dodgers Earlier in the winter people tried to link him to the Jays... I don't want my favourite team to have anything to do with this guy. Phew. Forget the off-the-field stuff, I'm not convinced he's that good of a pitcher.

When I watch Promised Neverland it sometimes makes me think of the Walking Dead. I feel like there are some parallels there. Add the disconnect between the show and the source material to the list of similarities. (I'm about 4 years behind and probably won't ever catch up on TWD though so maybe I'm way off)

Fun episodes of Neverland and Dr. Stone this week. I liked the little time skip in Neverland. It's cool to see the demon town and of course the surprise at the end was great.

I solid my Vita and PS TV ( ) well over a year ago so my wrap-up would be a big zero Gonna go look at my Switch year in review now though... (if I can find it / if it's still there)

Sunday evening when I ran out of booze, I gave a second thought to the whole dry January idea. Sure it was already Jan. 4th, but whatever. Going dry for 27/31 days would still be quite the achievement. Also it was after 6pm and liquor stores closer early on Sundays I was doing quite well this week but when I got home from work today my darling wife said she'd but me a bottle of wine. She's real nice like that It would be inappropriate to say no, right? I gotta be a good husband here. So my first crack at dry January has ended after 4 days. Maybe I'll see if I can double that the next time I run out What are you trying and failing at so far in 2021?

My Dry January in a nutshell All January there were TV ads for Dry Feb so I have been convinced to give dryness another shot. I didn't officially sign up for Dry Feb 'cause I cannot be bothered to do fundraising, but the goal is to be dry all February. I may have to give myself one cheat day though because T?t is next week and you can't celebrate T?t without some good rice wine (or a nice bottle of vodka since I can't get the good stuff in Canada).

I haven't been following the Leafs but I guess they're doing OK because my Leafs-fan-friends aren't crying everyday Just took a quick look at the standings and despite being in second place it doesn't look they're scoring a ton (eg compared to Edmonton, Vancouver, and Montreal). I kinda thought they were supposed to be a more powerful offensive team. Their goal differential is positive and they're winning games though. My Jets are right behind them

I'm kinda interested to get into Black Clover now. Not really sure why I didn't in the first place. It's nice to know I've got time now to watch the first 170 episodes before it eventually comes back. Or I may just read the manga
