This game is genuinely cool. It’s a bizarre, entertaining time—especially with a friend. My brother and I played it for the first time, and it was both strange and delightful and loved it. If you’re unfamiliar, the levels are procedurally generated, so every run is different. It’s a bit slow-paced and definitely not for everyone, and sometimes the enemies can feel downright overwhelming. Reaching the end takes a bit of luck, but it adds to the excitement. And the funk soundtrack is hot fire. The game has a unique vibe, for sure, and it left a lasting impression.

Frankly, it's been excellent so far. I like it a bunch and look forward to the years of fun and memories. Hmm, I guess that wasn't very vicious. The critiques are certainly fair enough, but darn if I'm not having a good time. Been playing:
And next I plan to get Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army, but only if they somehow give it a longer title. Three colons? Those are rookie numbers. And yeah, I'm one of the dopes who bought Welcome Tour. Super charming "game" with lots of interesting factoids about the system, though as a game it is a bit dry. Anyway, wishing all the best to the folks who bought a Switch 2, and the same best to those who didn't. No console wars in this neighborhood, pardner.
Also wooden hippo. Also shiny things. Also Wendy. Also why am I in the floor.

I'm just working on my little arcade game setup and having lots of fun. Yes, I'm using MAME to run a smattering of ROMs that I probably don't own, but so be it. The arcade stick I'm using is from 8BitDo, and it's fantastic. They always make good stuff. It works on Switch and Windows, and it just feels right. My experience with golden age arcade games is limited to a laundromat I used to go to as a kid and the odd cabinet here and there in movie theater lobbies. None of the actual arcades I went to had anything like Galaxian or Street Fighter II. I wanted to get into arcade games, so I made a roughly chronological list of popular arcade games, and I've slowly been going through each one. And I've got a handy journal for logging my highscores. That does make things more enjoyable.
Don't laugh at my horrendous highscore. Gotta start somewhere.
My list is mostly based on best-selling games from 1978 through the 1990s. I know Missile Command would need a trackball, so I may need to hold off on some of these.
Yes yes, it's been lovely so far. My heart is happy.
