Evening Status:


 
 
 

I’ve got a retro gaming book on Kickstarter & I want to spread the word. It’s a hardcover focused on every title Konami produced on the original PS1. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/darrenhupke/32-bit-library-volume-3-konamis-playstation

 
 
 

Still alive, just work devouring my free time. So much I'm still in act 1 of BG3. So far my proudest moments are using a cat familiar to lure enemies to a powder keg, stealing Shadowheart's underwear and kissing Karlach.


 
 
 

Finally got around to Hypnospace Outlaw. Best episode of Liquid Television I’ve ever played.

 
 
 

Tonight on Fortune Roulette: YEAH! YOU WANT "THOSE GAMES," RIGHT? SO HERE YOU GO! NOW, LET'S SEE YOU CLEAR THEM! That's literally the name of the game we're playing. https://twitch.tv/virtuakazama


 
 
 
 

Current Status:



 
 
 

This year I resumed watching movies that are not releasing right now, but that I once thought of watching and couldn't. Napoleon Dynamite is one of those. My social circle knows that I like independent films a lot, so this was recommended and: amazing.


 
 
 

Present status:


 
 
 

It took forever, but I'm glad Scott Pilgrim is finally getting an animated series that looks pretty good!



 
 
 

I thought everyone had left Qtoid.

 
 
 

I'm still not happy about the last stream due to that boss battle that took me 43 minutes to beat. Let's talk about it on tonight's session of Virtua Fighter Takeover! https://twitch.tv/virtuakazama


 
 
 

I'm mad at the fact that the boss battle in Virtua Quest took me at least 42 minutes to beat. What's with the difficulty spike out of nowhere?!


 
 
 

Just finished low rank in Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate. Ceadeus is such a formidable gentle giant, an epic battle with a simple premise: It's horn is too big and you have to help it shave it off with an oversized sword. I hope MH6 goes back to water battles.


 
 
 

Average Tuesday Status:


 
 
 

#21 Movie of 2023: Spider-Man Across The Spider-Verse. Marvel is not my thing, but Spiderman is an exception. Had to watch the first one to remind myself of the story, and I liked that one better. However, this is animation done right. 3/5.


 
 
 

First day as a Hunter and Sei is already getting into some crazy stuff. We go live as we look for the missing Hunters on tonight's session of Virtua Quest! https://twitch.tv/virtuakazama


 
 
 

I've been having issues uploading a profile photo for the past week or so, so there's a bunch of site features I can't access. I tried contacting support, but never heard back. Does anybody else have this issue or a possible solution?

 
 
 
 
 

Edgy Sunday Status:



 
 
 

Lazy Sunday status:



 
 
 

55+ hours of GetsuFumaDen: Undying Moon behind me, I've beaten all difficulty levels up to Devotee (except the easiest). Kinda annoyed that there's room for at least two more difficulty level "flames", and the ending was still the same as on easier levels

 
 
 
 

#45 Game beaten in 2023 is: Resistance 2. The first one ended well, and while this began decently strong, something went off after a few hours. Why treat the protagonist in such a way? Have an antagonist that doesn't cut it? 3/5 because I like the series.
