It’s been a while since I last posted but after a while I decided to come back and post! Anyways, what have you all been playing lately? I’ve gotten into Fallout 4 (sucks that they got rid of the mods and 99.9% of creation club) and Nba 2k26, I know that it’s the same game every year but I buy it once every 5 years and just try to get a kick out of beating the Dallas Mavericks (owned by Miriam Adleson)

I booted up the powkiddy again last night and found this GBA game called Magical Vacation. RPG type that starts off in the thick of it but it's chill. Looks gorgeous too, the GBA was capable of some pretty good graphics if you were able to put in the effort. There were even proto-3D games.

(looks even nicer animated)

The technical limitations meant you had to be pretty creative and frankly why did we ever move past this era of gaming? (spoiler: it's because even back then we were excited for more realistic graphics). Wonder how long a GBA game can be in terms of gameplay considering the limitation, will know if I ever finish that one lol.

also replayed half life 1, forgot how confusing and frustrating that game could get sometimes but it doesn't go too far for a game of that era. Part of the fun was definitely running around at mach speed so adding puzzles and other blockers kinda felt like a miss. But I also remember playing it as a kid that I couldn't wait for more realistic graphics to come so we wouldn't have the 2D health station texture but actual depth lol.
