This week I started playing this niche little game called Super Metroid (you may have heard of it) on the NSO SNES library. I was only going to play for a few minutes but here I am, a few days later, preparing to face Ridley. I’ve never beaten the game before so everything is new to me at this point and I have to say (hot warning) it really is, really? good.
If I manage to finish that one I will most likely continue with The Last of Us Remastered. Again, this is my first time playing this game ever small indie titleand I wanted to at least get some fun time before the series started.

This weekend I STILL watch my partner play Outer wildernessI’m STILL perfecting my headers in MGSV, and I just discovered the incredible Stacklands on the Steam Deck. Unfortunately, that means my Switch is on a hiatus—even though I just finished (and highly recommend) Signal tree and south of the circle, both available on Switch. Busy weekend!

I beat two games this year, that’s not bad at all! Sure, I started a year ago, but shhhh. Next on my list to tackle is something I’ve been wanting to play for ages – Elysium Discotheque: The Final Cut. I got a physical copy on Switch for a bargain price and I couldn’t transfer it, and I’m delighted to finally discover the content of that hype.
I’ll also be juggling some smaller things on the side – I’ll be back ghost song and rush into some Final Fantasy XIV before I unsubscribe a bit – but I’ll mostly be reading a book or following some AGDQ activity, such as White Neon, Celeste, Ocarina of timeand Fashion police team. I promise the last one is one real video games.

I won’t be playing games too much this weekend, as Saturday will be my daughter’s first birthday, so all my attention will be on her! We will play a lot oooh, This beautiful little pigand Tummy timebut maybe no Switch games… not yet anyway.
However, on Sunday, I can dive into Vengeful Guardian: Moonrider and offer a few ways to play. It’s been a fun, short experience, so I’m confident I can take a couple of 10-minute sessions here and there!

Lately, I’ve been feeling a bit nostalgic for some classics Pokémon the game after the fun experience that is Scarlet and Violet. I missed Game Freak’s heyday when it came to creating clean, detailed, and well thought out games – and that led me to pull out some of my favorites: Yellow Pokémon (thanks for helping me find a good deal on manuals, Zion!), Crystal, Emerald, Alpha Sapphire, silver Souland Black – to name a few. And those games still fascinate me, to this day. Highly recommend going back to the Pokémon archive, especially if you’re also a bit disappointed with the latest entries in the series. Now you will appreciate the classics even more.
