At last, I'm done Brothership. This game got shockingly hard compared to the rest of the series in its mandatory sections, usually they reserve the hard content for optional side modes with hefty rewards attached... but either way, a quite good game. It does overdue backtracking though lol

So I'm playing a Mario game and I just delivered a package to a fellow working in an office under suspicious circumstances...
...you mean to tell me I delivered a shoddy stone carving of a woman with exaggerated bazongas in a Mario game??

Didn't get the chance to mention it on the exact day I was there, but I finally got the chance to meet my son whilst attending the official Pokémon exhibit being hosted in Chicago right now. The exhibition is pretty short, but it's very lovingly put together and great for information

At long last - maybe the longest I've ever taken to start and beat a Zelda by happenstance - Echoes of Wisdom is DONE.
I loved this game, and I'm kinda shocked at how right it gets its peaks. Boss fights were REALLY GOOD especially compared to other 2D titles. New chars were also all great

I made adjustments to the format, but I've seen this grid going around and wanted to do jt as a fun exercise. And the "Pikachu" is just a placeholder for the whole franchise lol

I cleared Pokémon Conquest for the first time yesterday! I have... thoughts. lmao
Conquest might be the most messy Pokémon game that exists from the DS and prior era that isn't Generation 1, and it absolutely revels in it. Extremely charming, knows how to keep attention, and the RNG is WACK

Shouldn't be too bold to say: This is crippling.
I'm a former competitive Pokémon player, and dabbled in both Smogon and VGC formats. The COST isn't the issue, it's the NUMBERS. ONLY 30 is insanely low for a franchise with 1000+ creatures. Raising it to 80 IS NOT EVEN CLOSE to what it needs at base

IT SEEMS TO ACTUALLY RUN THIS TIME
Style looks good! I grew up on Hoenn and am more than willing to return to the tropics, looks like Diving is coming back too. That will be very fun.
Starters... ok, so none of them is surging out as my choice, but they look very good. Enjoy all 3.

Postgame is basically done - I'm thoroughly impressed. They actually redeemed Zygarde and (spoiler)'s poor story writing from the 3DS. Well done

At long last, my annual "Games of the Year" - and I am once again unable to top-rank 5 total games. Work slammed me throughout the year and I was left unable to do much gaming in my off time when so much went into game development. Again lol.
This was also a big Indie year, almost all 5 indies...
