  • I’ll be that guy. I do think the Tetris: The Grand Master series built on it in really good ways (shame this style was then discarded in favor of Guideline, but that’s a rant for another day), but classic Tetris kind of just falls apart as soon as you start to get good at it.

    It’s a product of its time, but I honestly feel there’s an entire genre worth of better puzzle games that came after it, and I have a small chip on my shoulder at the fact that Tetris is the only one that gets any recognition while every other IP lies dead and buried.













    • Kura5: Bonds of the Undying - Boktai is extremely near and dear to my childhood, so much so that when the third game didn’t get localized I convinced my parents to sign me up for Japanese lessons on the weekend (and then didn’t get far in it because I had too much actual schoolwork to keep up with, but I’ve started studying on my own again as an adult now just for fun). I’ve been following this fangame since the first demo came out several years back. Full game finally came out last year… and sat on my backlog for a year. Finally got around to it, and wow, demo was already great but I’m really in love with the finished product. Story is fantastic, does a great job building on the original series’ lore.

    • King of Fighters XIII - Dusted this off for some casual sets with a friend. I still have no real combos for anyone but Kula, I’m bad at confirming in games that don’t let me just do LMH -> BnB.

    • Balatro - Only three decks left to Gold Stake. I’m telling myself I will not go for the stickers, I shouldn’t do it, I won’t do it.

    • Chunithm, Wacca, Maimai - New arcade opened up last month and is threatening to drain my wallet.

    • While I was at the arcade at the mall, I also stopped by the Lego store.
