    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.

    Taking over the portal

    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

    Gundam Thread

    >2021 >Not having a Gundam thread What in the shit Anyways, just finished simul-watching Hathaway's Flash Movie 1. Very Tomino. Intense politics while being bombarded with whacko names like "boozlecau" and "quikiram" and you think you caught the important words and their meanings but you might not've. Mecha battle animation was cool (though a bit dark) and the food-eating animation was also top-notch

    1) Goldeneye 007 :xsx: (100% Achievements) 2) NASCAR Heat 4 (Platinum) 3) Pokemon Scarlet (80ish hours) I caught every Pokemon possible in the normal game without involving trading. Beat all the storylines and tournaments. I picked Quaxly but it eventually hit the PC and Pawmot became my go-to Pokemon. Was a fan of the open-world exploration and most of the storyline. Minor complaint was that the chugging graphics were way too noticeable, a semi-major complaint was that I miss when gyms and the Team bases revolved around battling a gauntlet of trainers instead of mini-games. Not gonna bother with the 5-star and further Tera Raid battles, I don't enjoy that aspect of Pokemon. Craziest moment I've ever experienced in Pokemon was when I went to the entrance of Area Zero and bumped into two Shiny Pokemon within the same half hour or so (Raichu and Venomoth). Was assuming there was a higher percentage chance of bumping into them there but nope, just got crazy lucky.

    Last Movie Watched

    Loved the shit out of the Mario movie. Loved the references, easter eggs, IRL old music choices, the philosophical Luma, Jack Black as Bowser (those fucking songs), how they made you not care in like 2 minutes that Charles Martinet wasn't the voice, and how it was only 90ish minutes so by the end you wanted more. Favourite Easter Eggs

    1) Goldeneye 007 :xsx: (100% Achievements) 2) NASCAR Heat 4 (Platinum) Late-platty glitches aside (had to win an extra race to activate the 200 wins trophy and had to delete my career and jumpstart a Cup series career to buy 6 truck series trucks and pop the 6 cars platinum), I think this was mostly a good game. It veers a bit too much towards simulation where you need to have good set-ups to be able to realistically compete but since it's an old game there's mostly good setups already on the internet. I love the career mode, NASCAR games where you can race up from dirt to trucks to late models to cup always hits the right way. I did avoid racing multiple series at the same time because the trophies apparently glitch if you do, but I figure I'll buy the Switch NASCAR Heat Ultimate and use that as my prime NASCAR multi-series NASCAR game

    1) Goldeneye 007 :xsx: (100% Achievements) Game's still pretty fun tbh, though the Switch version without a modern control scheme was pretty rough to play even with the tricks to mimic a more modern control scheme. Series X controls fix it about as well as it can, very playable by modern retro standards. Some of those cheat unlocks are still absolute bullshit (despite the reputation, Facility wasn't the hardest one) . Train, Facility and Silo are probably my favourite levels still. I think the thing I still enjoy the most about the game is a) all the gadget related mission objectives and b) how you could continue playing the mission even after it's failed.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Pass Wave 3 Triple starred 150cc, Mirror Mode and 200cc mode of the Stone and Moon Cups, didn't realize it auto triple starred 50 and 100cc automatically if you did one of those. Both new cups are really good. The mobile game tracks are fun, Boo Lake is the coolest to race, Rainbow Road 3DS looks so fucking cool, Rock Rock Mountain, Maple Treeway and Peach Gardens are classic. Moon Cup in particular will rip your ass apart, Berlin Byways and Peach Gardens are really confined with a lot of corners so it's massive item chaos and Merry Mountain and Rainbow Road are very straight with a lot of jumps and boosts, which makes it easy to make fast headway if you happen to spin out.

Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest (68:26, Normal/Casual) Couldn't play this with perma-death and on the harder difficulty. Rather enjoyed this one. Fire Emblem combat was solid as expected. I got all of the regular interactions and a lot of them were enjoyable (though if felt like a lot of them seemed phoned in, like the writing couldn't figure out how to make a few characters bounce off each other in a semi-natural way). Xander and Ryoma were favourite characters, Camilla was best waifu (but so is Charlotte, Mozu and Midori for different reasons). I didn't get all of the children because I saved without realizing it expected certain conditions in some of the paralogues to be met before they could be recruited. I loved the hidden connection to Awakening with Odin, Selena and Laslow. The ending has me pretty interested in playing Revelations, but Birthright shall come first.

    The Witch From Mercury My Gundam Academia E1 Kinda hoping the setting changes in the near future or this is just a seasonal arc or something, Gay Highschool isn't really the first, second or fourth thing when I think Gundam (definitely the third thing because of Wing and 00 though, SO NOT ENTIRELY OUT OF POCKET)
