3 for 2 deal at gamestop… For the family, I got: Mario Odyssey, Fire emblem, and The world ends with you… For friends’ kids: Portal Knight, Katamari, Scribblenauts… I’m always tempted to get something mildly inappropriate (or completely inappropriate) but I mess up my own kid enough. ---

I had a lot of accrued vacation days. Use it or lose it! 😁 It was a little over 100 hours for me. From playing previous SMT games, the Casual difficulty is too easy (exp higher and deal more damage). If you play on Normal, I think you can bump it up to Hard. ---

you mean that if you start on normal, you can increase it without starting the game over? ---

95+ hrs into Octopath Traveler and working on my main character’s 4th (and final) section of their story. The difficulty ramped up as it does in each tier. Even though I think I’m the proper level, the enemies are hitting harder than usual. Going to grind a bit. And I think I’ll spend the time to get the legendary job classes (or whatever they are called). Just grind those out and I bet the rest of the game will be easy. ---

Yes, you won’t have to start the game over. A caveat if you start on hard though, if you have to bump the difficulty down, you won’t be able to bump it back up to hard (from what I’ve read).

I grabbed Inscryption, probably my new favorite slay the spire clone, because it’s weird. ---

Epic (which gives away a lot of great games) recently gave away “Hunter, Call of the Wild”, a well rated-hunting simulator. I think hunting is stupid, but I’ve been curious anyway since it looks beautiful, and of course I love games where you shoot stuff-- either other humans in a combat simulation, or else lots of animals, zombies, dinosaurs, etc. in survival games. But, then I immediately pang of guilt in shooting Bambi, since I had no simulated need to shoot Bambi. ---

Ok I finished Octopath Traveler for my main character and think I’m going to call it there. 102 hrs and i think it’ll take another 20 to finish or maybe 30-40 to unlock the ultimate job classes. Not getting a huge payout from seeing their stories finish, and like to move on. I’m thinking Bravely Default 2, before SMT… just to change it up from the grinding. Probably focus a little more on a PS5 game or two though. I started Plague Tale (free from PS+) a few weeks back and like it enough to keep going. It’s mostly stealth and quick time events. Minor puzzle solving. ---

Going through a few of my PS+ games… played A Plague’s Tale: Innocence, which turned out to be mostly a stealth puzzle game. It was short enough and fun enough to get all the way through. I almost want to go back and finish off a few silver or gold trophies, but moving on to… Oddworld: Soulstone. Another puzzle-y action game. Pretty fun, and mostly true to the original game from back in the day. Slightly annoying how slowly Abe/NPCs talk in cutscenes. There’s a decent amount of secrets and collectibles. I still find the aesthetic of Oddworld uncomfortable. ---

I’d gotten dark souls 3 on my PC a few years ago but it would unceremoniously crash often which was painful, eventually quit playing. Recently got a new PC for Christmas after my more PC-savvy friends enlightened me that my ~7-8 year old GPU was old. Realized I’d never finished that so have restarted that again, no more crashing!
