Now, after finishing Dawn of Sorrow like a week ago, went into Bloodstained, which is the non-Castlevania Castlevania, and which i started but never finished due to distractions and computer issues followed by procrastination after it was Kickstarter delivered. It's 3D but that's very much not an obstacle, playability is very good. And man, i think this might be IGA's biggest game, the castle is bigger than those in all the other games. Heard they're already working on a sequel, hope it comes soon.

Yeah, there's important issues described in the blogpost, but this is the one that always has left me annoyed when I've worked with it.

The main character is by far the nicest person you'd ever encounter and is also the innocent type that's absolutely clueless about life and people, but has a terribly scary looking face that is typically said to look like a demon. This leads to a host of misunderstandings where in the first day of his high school he accidentally ends up taking over as the boss of the main delinquent gang in the school (which of course he never realizes), and it just escalates from there. This kind of comedy is probably not for everybody but if you enjoy silly misunderstanding-powered comedy this might be for you. This has a bonus of being completed, 15 volumes.
There is an incomplete anime adaptation out there that can be ignored, go straight for the manga.

This is nothing more than empty posturing, and is in fact a declaration, "We WANT to continue being the Nazi bar, they're some of our best customers!"

Some highlights from somebody who's now firmly a casual (long past are my days of hardcore gamer):
- A Hat in Time is super charming, although the platforming can be rather hard at some points, i wish any super-hard parts in games were set as optional behind achievements or whatever, just for us casuals. Need to get to the DLCs although i understand they're less fun, no idea
- The Shantae games are all fun in their own ways, and i fully thank them for creating a dedicated casual difficulty level on the latest one, would have been thankful for that on the previous ones
- Cloudpunk is just great, need to play it more
- Currently tackling all the Castlevania games post Symphony (all Metroidvanias i believe). Will have to resort to emulation past the Advance Collection because Konami is ruled by idiots, but oh well. There's also the Lords of Shadow games that are almost a completely different franchise, will get to them in time.
I'm going very slow since i only play when i can, so i guess in a few years i'll be done with my backlog! Yay!

I understand they recently got 15 million from a freaking blockchain company in 2024, so it's unavoidable
