Finished playing Split Fiction and the ending was amazing, this is one of the best experiences I've ever had, the best thing is that I can't even think of what genre of game I would classify it as. It has a little bit of everything, and everything plays really well. Definitely my GOTY.

Playing 999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors: So far, no strong opinion of it, it's ok, it's neither easy nor hard, the characters are OK, and the biggest impression I have had of the game is when the puzzles make me go "huh".
I read it has multiple endings. I'm playing it blindly, so if I happen to like whatever ending I get, I'll go try to see the rest of them, but we'll see. -
Playing Donkey Kong Country for the Super Famicom, I've never finished any DK game, and I'm trying to play the ones I own in release order. Even back then, I thought the SNES games looked way better than the N64 ones, and time has confirmed this to me. It's amazing how this game looks and plays. And yeah, it's tough as nails, but not in a BS way.

My gf convinced me to play Hollow Knight, and while it plays smoothly and feels incredibly polished, I honestly can’t stand metroidvanias. I find the constant backtracking and lack of clear direction frustrating. That said, the visuals are stunning and the controls are tight and responsive. I just wish a game this well-crafted had a more linear structure, something that maintained the pacing better, because when you're in the flow, it’s genuinely enjoyable to play.

herson (edited )Link Parenttbf if people were able to identify the store that sells the floor tiles, there's a high chance they will identify if it was IA on the first place. But I think it's natural to believe such videos...Heck, with AI, the actual video itself is unreliable

The only thing that the patch changed from the items is that you don't have to blow into the mic to use the fan or the pan flute, so instead you just press A.

But anyways, everything about the gameplay is great, it has some difficult parts but you have infinite continues and well distributed respawn point, so in reality the only difficult part is find a friend with enough free time to play with.
Playing Zelda: Spirit Tracks on the DS: a few months ago I found some patches to play the DS Zeldas with the d-pad, I played Phantom Hourglass first but didn't like the repetitive main dungeon visits and sailing the sea was not fun at all, but Spirit Tracks took the same formula and fixed all those issues and because of that is vastly superior and way more fun, the only downside of course was having to use the stylus for everything, but the patch I found fixes that. So far I've enjoyed the game (I'm around the middle of the story), and I think I would place it on third place my list of the best 2d Zeldas.

I got most of the legendaries through the Global Trade System, I bred a lot of pseudo legendaries to get the most common legendaries that could be traded for the most difficult ones. For example: Breeding a Dragonair and trading it for a Lugia, and the Lugia for a Mew, and Mew for a Cresselia. I found out you could trade a Mew for almost any Legendary.
But there were still a few mythical Pokémon you couldn't get through GTS, like Keldeo and Meloetta, so for them I had to ask around in Reddit for people who wanted to trade.
After finishing all of that, I didn't feel any sense of achievement. I was just glad I finally finished because I was sick of listening the same song while using the bike to hatch the eggs. Then I got sick of playing Pokémon, and haven't played any of the newer Pokémon games since then and I hope I never do. (I have played some of the side series like PMD which I love, though).
Just sorting the full dex numerically took me around 3 or 4 hours.

Metal Gear (MSX2): Surprisingly good, it might be on my top 3 of 8bits games, it took me a while to understand how the save game mechanic worked but once I understood that I enjoyed it a lot.
For this game in particular it was a whole odyssey for me, at first I was playing it on my MGS Legacy Collection for the PS3 but some weeks before I dropped my console while cleaning, and didn't check for damages, because of that the hard drive was faulty and 2 hours in or so it crashed and didn't booth again.
Then I remembered I already have Metal Gear on NES but to my surprise the game is completely different there, and since I was already enjoying the original version, I didn't want to play that other one.
After that I downloaded the MGS3 remake on my PS Vita (which contains the original Metal Gear as extra content), but some weird glitch corrupted my game and it crashed around half of the story and the savefiles were also corrupted because of the glitch.
So I had to emulate the original MSX2 rom on my Nintendo 3ds (after a few hours searching for the original bios) and that was the way I played it.

Replayed the original Bioshock: Still a perfect game, I think I like it more now watching how well it has aged, I played the original version, I don't know if the remaster is still as good.
-
Expedition 33: (spoilers) I quite didn't like the act 3 of the game, the Paintress boss fight was way too epic in comparison to anything that comes after, I also didn't care that much for the story so the reveal at the end didn't move me or anything, is not that I hated the epilogue, just that it dragged too much the game for me.
Now playing Okami HD: I remember playing it when it game on the Wii but I didn't get far enough, I'm enjoying it a lot now, it is so pretty, it literally makes me cry of how beautiful it is. Not much to say beside that, I love this game.

herson LinkBrain Out for short sessions. Balatro for not so short ones.- Brain Out for short sessions.

There's a local brand here in my country that's basically habanero with maracuya, I don't think it's exported outside the country, but I found a video on Youtube showing how to prepare it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFxyrcs4TQ8
I love the combination of flavors since I like the spiciness of habanero but I found them too sour for my taste, so the maracuya's sweetness balances things off.
Since it's home made it has to be refrigirated, but it goes well with most foods.
