    1) Goldeneye 007 :xsx: (100% Achievements) 2) NASCAR Heat 4 (Platinum) 3) Pokemon Scarlet (80ish hours) 4) Wolfenstein 3D :xsx: (100% Achievements) 5) Mario Wonder (100%) 6) Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Pass Wave 3 (everything triple starred) 7 Metal Gear (100% Trophies) 8 ) Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake (100% Trophies/Platinum) 9) Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Pass Final Wave (everything triple starred) 10) Mario RPG Remake UWAAAAA THE COAT OF PRETTY PAINT The game was easier than the original due to the splash damage from perfectly timed hits, though I also played the original so much that I already had decent muscle memory for some of it. Also felt like some of it was slightly off on the timing but it's not a hard game. I was max level partway through the Smithy factory and IIRC I'd usually be around level 25 or 26 by then when I played the OG game and that was with fighting every enemy I came across. Did not 100%, never have been able to do 100 Super Jumps (can barely break 10) and I don't care about the mini games. 100%ed the monster list with thoughts, found all the hidden treasures and beat all the post-game boss rematches. I think the Punchinello and Booster rematches were the ones I had the most problems with (Punchinello because the timing felt off compared to my muscle memory, Booster because I was just didn't equip correctly for it), even managed to beat the Culex rematch on the first try once I got the rhythm down. Most of the soundtrack was decent to great (they knew what they were doing when they played the Forest Maze theme in the trailer), the only song I really didn't like was the map song compared to the OG map song. Love this remake.

    Had to stop MGS1 for Mario RPG Remake. Very well done so far. Just beat the Forest Maze. Music is mostly good, the new play mechanics make things interesting (I'm probably healing a lot more than I did on the original game due to the special enemies).

Rome Avanti was okay for a twisty-turny course that runs back in on itself, and Rainbow Road Wii and SNES Bowser Castle 3 are effing awesome. The rest are so-so. I also kinda wonder if 150cc difficulty was nerfed, I got bombed by four blue shells in one race and still won with a heavy lead. Had no real trouble that wasn't self-inflicted when I went to triple star anything

This is another one I feel like I'd want to try bumble through myself at some point.

Used a quickie/speedrun guide for it. I've watched a playthrough before and it's always seemed pretty obtuse in the english-version Castlevania II way. Feels like a game I want to try to bumble through but at the same time, I was getting annoyed with the repeating save system while I was playing the guide, so I dunno if I'd last. Series spoiler ahead

Pretty good game. Best 2D Mario in years. I think it tried to do for 2D Mario what Odyssey for 3D Mario but didn't quite get there. The new coat of paint was needed, the focus on Wonder weirdness was cool, but it did start to feel like it was losing steam around 3/4s of my playthrough through. With the caveat that a) I played the secret world levels as soon as I found them rather than leaving them all for the end, so that may have played a hand in it and b) when it gave the option to choose which world you wanted to play, I went for the hardest world first, so again, I might've seen all the coolest shit earlier than I theoretically should've. The Last Boss might've been the most disappointing thing in the game to me It's like an 8.8/10 all together but sometimes feels like a 9.5/10. Oh, and 6) Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Pass Wave 3 (everything triple starred) Never did get around to triple starring everything, wanted to do it before Mario Wonder came out but didn't quite have the time. Athens Dash, Squeaky Clean Spring, and Vacouver Velocity are pretty fucking cool. Koopa Cape and Moonview Highway continue to be solid.

    What listen ?

    Huh, I listened to a lot more System of a Down than I remember listening to. I mostly only remembered the big three and then something like Ego Brain, but it turns out I probably recognize/like about two albums worth of their music But yeah, I've probably listened about twice as much as all the others combined lately. A+ music video where watching the band play makes you want to mosh with them, big three are obvious GOAT songs from the band and I think this is the one ring to rule them all

    One of my support managers didn't know what a waifu was so I got him to google it on his phone, and now the algorithms know and theoretically the store wifi knows too

    I have yet to be demoted because our system doesn't seem like it's designed properly for it. So far I've: 1) Been notified that myself, who reports to myself, is applying for a new role on my team and that I should do everything I can to support myself in making the transition easier for myself. 2) I've had an interview scheduled with myself to see if I'm up for the job. 3) Currently I'm negotiating with myself. The system sees me in the role I am in now and me in the role I want to demote to on my team as two separate people. This is a third party system provided for us by the way.

    For the starting salary with the way things are right now, yes, though not counting the annual bonus. Went into it knowing that. After a few years with the way the raises are handled, no, but tbh I was already at a point where there wasn't a dollar amount you could put next to the position and have it be worth it. Maybe in the future, but definitely not at the moment.

    Was an overnight assistant manager for walmart for a few months. But somewhere between a new inventory system that doesn't work, an inability to hire reliable people (we may luck into something eventually but I don't think this can ultimately be fixed, calling in is too ingrained into the local people), losing days off when the support managers don't show up and not making overtime for the 10-11 hours per day, I decided that I should probably drop back down to an hourly support manager instead I haven't watched anime in two season now 😢

    1) Goldeneye 007 :xsx: (100% Achievements) 2) NASCAR Heat 4 (Platinum) 3) Pokemon Scarlet (80ish hours) 4) Wolfenstein 3D :xsx: (100% Achievements) I know I've tried to 100% this game before but I think I got discouraged after finding out the Aardwolf maze in Episode 2 was incomplete and it makes it impossible to 100% everything because a few secrets automatically get blocked off and a few treasures are stuck in inaccessible areas. But yeah, the achievements demanded beating the game on Bring It On mode, 100%ing kills and treasure on one level, finding one secret and beating one floor on I Am Death Incarnate mode. Episodes 1 flows the best and feels the best to play, Episode 2 is fun because it's satisfying to kill mutants and Episode 5 is a good time because there's a lot of open areas filled Nazis to mow down. The others were not so fun, too constricted or too maze-like. Episode 6 in particular suuucked to play, not fun at all. I did use maps for a few areas, mostly the Aardwolf maze and any other area where secrets get blocked off if you don't push them the right way, and an area or two in Episode 6 that were awful mazes.

    I've asked for and have been (probably) granted a demotion. It may or may not free up more time for me, but at least I won't be on-call salary with no time to do anything
