I have once again ended up starting lots of stuf, don't know why I do that.

Playing Yoshi and the Mysterious Book! Almost done with the second world, though I'll need to get back to 100% all the stages.

I try to explore as much as I can, and after reaching the end, go back again to see if I have missed anything. When I can't find anything new even after exploring for a bit, I finish the level, even if I have something obvious like the flowers missing. For now, I am not going back into the level, even when it shows me hints for missing stuff, will come back to do these all after finishing the game.

Also, some of the stuff is really well hidden, how are you all faring with it?


Played more of Fallout 4. Wanted to explore all the upper area before reaching Diamond City, but when I reached near eastern end of the map saw a Deathclaw moving around so ran away quickly.

Have finally reached the city and taking care of all the quests given by the people there, quite a change of pace after wandering around the wilderness for so many hours.


Finished the third chapter of Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc Anniversary Edition!

Chapter 3 spoilersA double murder!

Last week I replied to De_Narm saying I think Hori might be the spy, he feels too innocent, and it turns out he is the prime suspect this time around!

I figured out who the actual blackened is thoug, but only because Sakura explained the whole case again.

This chapter also put some more doubt on Kyoko, but I think it's too obvious, so I am not going to think she is the spy. Also going to rule out Hiro now.

I have played very little of Chapter 4, my thought until now:

Chapter 4 spoilersI think there are some other shenanigans going on. Like all the students are clone or something, and the real versions were all students of Hope's Peak Academy and knew each other.


Started Sackboy: A Big Adventure with my little one. I played a few of the starting levels some time back but couldn't get into it at a time. We have only played one level yet but it was fun playing in co-op. Let's see how long it holds her interest.


Also started Arc Raiders. I am not really a big multiplayer guy, but some of the friends were interested in the game so got it. It's my first extraction shooter, and we are mainly focusing on the PvE aspect, instead of PvP. Actually even PvE is only when we need specific resources or have missions regarding those.

It was going good, had some upgraded gear, met many friendly players, then in last game some raiders attacked and killed our team, lost everything. It was pretty annoying. I'll probably keep playing it with friends, but this is definitely not a genre that I like.


No Pokémon Pokopia this week. Will probably get back to it after finishing Yoshi.


What about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?

I'm pretty sure it doesn't hold up as a film per se, as it seemed like a bunch of set pieces loosely strung together. But... I don't care. Nintendo was my childhood, and this took me back to a simpler, happier time. I almost audibly squeed when one of the lumas referenced the Super Mario Bros Super Show theme song.

All the cameos from other Nintendo franchises make me want a Super Smash Bros movie so bad. Fox also doesn't look uncanny in this movie unlike the SF64 rereremake.

Always happy to see references to Mario Sunshine (Bowser Jr's paintbrush, the piantas in the gateway galaxy). I seem to be in the minority of people who really like that game.

Is it safe to charge the Switch 1 with through USB?

The #Switch uses a standard USB-C port, but I remember it being finicky, at constant risk of getting damaged, when being charged with the wrong energy source. But would it be safe to plug it to a PC's USB port to charge?

Thanks in advance!

Started Yoshi and the Mysterious Book! Just played first three levels before my kids stole the Switch 2, will play it a bit more over the weekend.

Each level is about investigating a specific creature, you have to try different actions that gives us more info about that creature, it is then noted in the book. These actions can be as simple as jumping on them, or complicated which requires series of actions. One thing better than Crafted world is that whole level remains explorable (at least for now, dunno if changes in later levels), so if you missed something, you can go back and try to do that. Though, there is no list of things that you need to do, when you clear the level once, it fills some pages with the things you did, and add some empty places for things you missed, but it doesn't cover everything, for instance if there are 10 pages of items to do, and you only did let's say 5 pages, it will only highlight missing items on that pages, and won't show the remaining 5 pages of things you missed.

Game is very relaxing and fun, but it is too early to give any final verdict.


Started King Oddball. It's another game by 10tons, the developers behind Sparkle 2 that I finished last week. You are a big weird alien head, who throws stones using his tongue to destroy tanks (and probably other stuff). You have 3 stones to clear all enemies. I'll be playing it slowly, clearing a level or two when deciding what to play, or just playing for a few mins. Probably won't mention it again until I finish it.


Finished Lords of the Fallen (2014). You get really OP near the end, so didn't have much trouble clearing rest of the bosses and areas. Only problem was figuring out where to go, which is a big problem in this game, had trouble finding out where to go next multiple times.

It is probably one of the easiest soulslike I have played, there were whole areas and bosses where I didn't die even once. This usually doesn't happen. Some of the mechanics feel a bit weak, like the timing of attack window. Also, it's not a very long game, it took somewhere around 10 hours for me to finish the game.

Overall, I don't think it's a must play game, but if you are interested in the series and want to play from the very first game, it's not bad game.


Started Fallout 4 once again. Got it on PS+ quite a while ago, and I played it back then, but for some reason I never finished it. So now taking my time and slowly exploring stuff. Looked up various builds online for some ideas and going with V.A.T.S based gunslinger, or well at least my own version of it, since I just skimmed the general idea and didn't pay much attention to required perks and S.P.E.C.I.A.L stats.


Finished the second chapter and reached the investigation part of third chapter of Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc Anniversary Edition!

Spoiler for Chapter 2The second trial felt very similar to the first one, the culprit was very obvious, there was just one point that could point it to another character, but other than that it was very straightforward.

Or that's what I thought. I was really surprised with the way things turned out in the end. Game really knows how to keep player on the toes.

At this point I don't think the victim and the umm.. "the person who does it" are dynamic. They are same for everyone. Anyways, for the small chance it isn't so, in my case the second victim was Chihiro and he was killed by Mondo


More Pokémon Pokopia. Slowly meeting more Pokémon, not much to say about it.


What about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?

In this high-octane hardcore top-down shooter you must smash, slash and shoot your way through a brutal urban jungle ruled by gunfire and corruption to save Haru — a girl fitted with a city-grade atomic weapon.

Release Date: 30 July 2026

You play as Jin, a skilled ex-soldier turned gun-for-hire, living in the heart of a city where the line between predator and prey has already been crossed. This isn’t just another job though, a mysterious girl with immense but uncontrollable power is linked to a violent conspiracy that threatens to shift the balance of power. As chaos erupts, Jin must save the girl, confront his past and the betrayal of a commander he once trusted without question.

Everyone in Kusan wants something and nobody plays fair.

For Jin, there is only one way forward: flawless planning, ruthless execution and saving the girl from criminals while relying only on his wit and unrelenting will to survive the battlefield.

Expect fast, unforgiving combat where one mistake means death. Master sharp gunplay, perfect your movement, and chain brutal combos using the Quantum Knife and War Hand. Smash the environment to uncover Bolts, then spend them on upgrades that change how you fight and how you survive.

Every moment is intensified by an adrenaline fuelled soundtrack from Loptimist, a heavyweight in Korean hip hop, packed with head bopping loops and deep 808s that push you forward without mercy.
