[KobaBeach]

VIP Mario 2 - I kept playing it instead of going to bed (and then I started listing out cool 2d boyfriends instead of going to bed) and I'm at the Jellyfish stage in World 4

MapleStory (MapleRoyals) - The Trading with Owner Yeo 1 & 2 quests from the Chinese server are done I think. Shanghai has some deranged fucking music I'm gonna post it on the Music thread. I'd have done more quests but

Deltarune Ch3 - Right before

Well. Today I beat LittleBigPlanet. All levels done, including a no death run of each. I still think it's a very fun and unique platformer. Tragic I can't play online levels (until I maybe mod my PS3) but I still enjoyed my time with it.
Also... I've been playing the South Park game, Stick of Truth, lately. Got it last week and I've been going through it with all the classes, while also trying to get a platinum trophy yet again. Thankfully, this is a game with NO MULTIPLAYER so having no extra controller can't stop me now! I'm actually only missing one trophy right now, and it's mainly because it requires you to play as a Jew, which is the only class I haven't played as yet. It's a very fun game, and I kind of like how short it is because it means I can go through it with all the different classes. Has a lot of crazy moments and fun references to the show. I'd say my favorite party members are Kyle and Butters, and my favorite class (so far) is the fighter. Though who knows maybe I'll change my mind after playing as a Jew!
Other than that, I have Lego Star Wars on PS3 coming through the mail, but I'm waiting on a friend to play that one with. And I also got... Skylanders...
IDK WHY but lately, I've been kind of wanting to play the Skylanders games again? or at the very least the first one. So I was at a store and... I got some figures and Spyro's Adventure (the first game) on the Wii. but no portal i need the portal still. SO I bought one online and it should be here SOON... like 1 or 2 days basically. Yeh idk why but ig im gonna play skylanders again ._.
That's all for now really. Maybe I'll give some updates on how the Jew playthrough and the Skylanders stuff goes. Alright I'm done. BYE BYE! :)

this with the konata avatar is giving such pure late 00s energy i kinda love it? and i mean this genuinely. have fun with skylanders

speaking of y2k naivete ("cringe", if you must)

MapleStory (MapleRoyals) - C-PTSD episode so I just zoned out on mushroom game to rest.

Did the following: Sick Snake Needs Food I, Clear the Rubbish, Learning the Culture of Ariant, Tigun the Guard at the Palace, Kenta's Research 1.

Sorta 8% 4% 6% (the MapleRoyals database counts questline quests separately) into the non-party non-event quests.

Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced - oh right I'm still playing this. Uhh... Marche finally learned DMG>MP so now I can properly switch to fighter. I've also got a Hunter/Soldier in the making (they've working on Stat-Break skills, then they'll switch over to Archer to build up to Hunter). Still need a couple more Viera (one that'll be on the Assassin track, one for a Fencer/Archer) and another Nu Mou (for Alchesage)

Might and Magic 7: someone said that Thief/Monk/Paladin/Cleric is a bad team (and it probably is because you only ever get minor access to elemental magic) and I took that personally. So now I'm stuck with it. Currently working on the easier promotion quests.

Nubby's Number Factory: unlocked the last Tony (Immortal Tony, who lets you keep cycling through without interruption at the cost of each cycle being "harder" but the real cost is that you're most likely to fail in the first six rounds anyway and Immortal Tony also removes your items on cycle-up so each cycle is basically a new game with bigger target numbers)

had to finagle sql a bit for the ghost online server but it's good. so far. a slight issue with default values but i imagine its probably some incompatibility thing with .NET, i feel like the dev probably didn't run into the same issue. had to set default values myself and make a storage row for my character (him name Jomby)

it's in chinese BUT i can pause the VM

[KobaBeach]

i lost my fallout 1 saves and i hate my life

EDIT: im literally doing what im doing with pc98 and 88 savestates and just doing backups

Started up Lunar 2 over the weekend. It's already looking like it'll be a better game than the original, but we'll see. Also got to play a little co-op in Mario Kart World on a not my Switch 2. Unsurprisingly, it's really good.

it really is tbh. lunar 1 gets a lot of attention due to nostalgia and probably having a bigger circulation back in the day in the US, but i feel lunar 2 even on the mega cd is the bee's knees (but get the unWD patch so the save system isn't gimped. nothing you can do about the cringy localization tho).

legit one of my favorite games and i do appreciate tales of destiny 2 (the ps2 one) as well which has a concerning amount of parallels due to it also involving kei shigema's writing studio (not kei shigema himself though)

i think silver star story is one of the few working designs published games that legit broke even but. vic made it go out of circulation early bc it was "too good for the bargain bin" (read: white boy wanted as much money as possible, remember he cockblocked the genesis mini 2 from getting lunar 1&2 bc he wanted extra money for the scripts)

[KobaBeach]

Fallout - katrina tutorials, radscorps, making antidote, giving jarvis the antidote, crop rotation, vault 15 raiding, helping sinthia, killing gizmo, recruiting dogmeat done.

im not paid enough for this!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111

[KobaBeach]

VIP Mario 2 - more of world 4 done, did lake of the jellyfish which. i kinda like how tricky dicky the secret exit is. i did gj (Z) which i will defend the shitpost softlock bc its funny (the walkthrough page has a cheat for an instakill on the item box). and i did forest of insanity which i also like the fake out secret exit.

Fallout - wrapped up junk tiown the other day but i just didn't open it again after reaching the hub bc im stupid

shout outs to tycho and ian blocking my way when i wanted to get back to town, bc i can't leave when it's night time, and thus triggering the guard going aggro. we love wrpgs

Wonder Boy in Monster Land - some nonserious sessions but im weirdly getting better at them?? got to the sphinx

[KobaBeach]

Fallout 1 - Money Making Game done, murderhobo'd first screen of Necropolis. At the sewers

i wanna play maplestory bc wonder boy is peak video games but i do not wanna deal with Other People Existing

[KobaBeach]

Bubble Bobble (NES) - Made it to Stage 23 bc I needed to rest after devrotting

[BurntTenda]

Final Fantasy 13 is peak actually (currently up to Chapter 6)

Really enjoying the character interactions overall, especially.
My poor boy Hope and his misplaced blame towards Snow...

hope goes through a lot from what i heard, really his issue is just that he's a kid character in a jrpg and you need to have an immunity to shonen manga writing to handle that. like i love yuffie she's a complete idiot goober

please enjoy funny hallway game 2 (funny hallway game 1 is ff10 which is also good)

i was born in the shonen manga writing, molded by it....

I do really need to play 10 at some point too, I know I would enjoy it
The FFs I've played and finished have been 1, 2, 3, 5, and 15 so I am missing a lot in the middle

I have played up to half of 6 but I lost my original save file so. someday

mood. shoujo slop too

i will fight for ff5's honor and i see the appeal in 8's jank. i also respect 9 a ton for just being a strong game even if some parts of the plot do fall by the way side (the secondary party members) and 10 is Art.

ironically i do prefer SaGa bc i love the mechanics crunching

[BurntTenda]

I do really love 5 its one of my favorites so far
For FF8 I've played up to the end of Disc 1 but accidentally dropped playing it for years

I also need to get around to 10 I know I would enjoy it too

ironically i do prefer SaGa bc i love the mechanics crunching

I've tried a lot of the SaGa games to varying degrees of success
I admire the series a lot for its ambitions

The ones I've gotten the furthest in are RS2 remake (Wagnas beloved) and the adjacent Alliance Alive

SaGa requires following a guide for your first go and. Man i need to play alliance alive and legend of legacy

also yeah wagnas was fucking right for going "yeah im gonna be a fucked up butterfly woman" when making their body as a demon. i legit named my dog after noel from rs2 (and noel from blazblue) because of how cool he is (same with noel from blazblue, she's a total goober)

the recent remake of rs2 is the most user friendly the game has been in a while which, considering its been starting to be more transparent with scarlet grace onwards

Mario Kart World has kicked Lunar 2 to the "when I have a few hours and want to play an RPG again" bin for the moment. Also keeping the world theme going by slowly progressing through Wario World, a Gamecube game developed by Treasure. It's interesting. Flawed, but interesting.

[raekuul]

pokemon yellow - let's catch some zubats!

deltarune - stuck at the tail end of 3.

[KobaBeach]

im kinda in that "i cannot deal with backlog shenanigans" mode bc it was just piling on to the stress i already had so im taking a break from fallout bc necropolis is so slow and long and starting some games to break the monotony

i also played some MapleStory yesterday but on the HeavenMS emulator rather than on MapleRoyals bc i'm too shy to go online. no thailand sadly but that's just how it be
