Thinking to add photos to my website
But not exactly sure how I’m going to do that
2026
Nintendo Online doesn’t allow its users to exchange text messages
I think mostly to protect young kids
BUT, Nintendo allows you to change your nickname whenever you want without limitation
So, what do my son and his friends do to communicate? Yeah that’s right…
They change their nicknames constantly to tell others they’re opened to game
Or it’d be like “jump in my private session” or “going to my dad’s hometown, can’t play” (it’s shorter in Japanese)
Neat but since they also change their avatar picture constantly, it’s hard to track who’s who if you have a lot of friends on
People always find a way so why make their life so hard to begin with…
Ok I wrote my last text before the Zelda OoT was presented
Between the OoT remake (game of my childhood)
The 2D, turn based FF
Millienials are eating good this fall
Hi website,
We need to talk about Final Fantasy
FF Resonance more specifically
The demo is out and it is so damn beautiful
GTA6 is going to be huge but a new turn based FF is bound to be bigger in my home
I’m 40 today.
Woof…
I got a new job
But I’m taking a break right now
10 days in Hokkaido
I’ll write again when I’m back
Stay hydrated
It’s just one bar for now because I DON’T GO OUT bar hopping that often.
But I can think of one or two more I’d like to add later.
Gamers,
Mina the Hollower is incredible.
The world is filled with secrets and fun, unexpected interactions.
The attention to details is remarkable.
And the sprites are gorgeous.
Get it now!
I started playing Saros.
I’m not sure what to think yet about the structure of the game compared to what Housemarque did with Returnal a few years which I thought was mesmerizing.
First, if you never played before, this is a roguelite type game.
When you die, you start over from the start.
Saros does offer checkpoints though, so it’s a little more manageable than Returnal.
But the moment to moment gameplay is superb.
This game feels like all the good parts of video games.
Beautiful art direction, extremely crisp 3D sound effects, uber tight gameplay.
It feels new and it feels old.
It feels new because of the haptic feedback in the controller.
The beautiful graphics of course.
The cinematography of the bosses.
It feels old because it reminds me games from the amiga era almost.
It can be part action, part platforming, part bullet hell.
The difficulty makes it go from extremely frustrating to immensely satisfying.
Finally killing a boss after X failed runs feels so so good. Liberating almost.
It’s the simply joy of playing good ol’ video games.
My plan to improve my Japanese
(which has been stuck at the same level for 10 years)
1/ watch and read more stuff in JP every day (easy)
2/ take an online class weekly (doable, small budget)
3/ homework on app or book (hard routine to maintain, still got to find the right app or book anyways)
