michifuguOrz, sorry for not updating—I’ve been busy these past few weeks and had to help my family with a lot of stuff. Man, lately, my motivation for writing has just disappeared... I feel like I’m not motivated to do anything.
Also, I just finished playing Ace Attorney: Investigations! It was such a good game, however, I feel like the final case dragged on too long. I certainly didn't expect the twist that Shih-na was actually Calisto Yew, lol. Also, I totally ship Lang x Edgeworth. Tbh, I prefer their dynamic over Narumitsu.
I also replayed Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance because it’s been 10 years since I last played it. I was in the mood for a medieval JRPG with political intrigue. Reyson is used heron goods lol.
As for Avemuji, the last episode was a great closure, though I felt like episode 12 was already a solid ending. Still, I’m glad they got a sequel in production. I do wonder how the story will turn out, though, since the lead writer, Yuniko Ayana, left Bandori… I’m a little worried after reading the director’s comments. It feels like he’s just changing things on a whim. Hope he doesn’t ruin UiSaki.
Also, I’m disappointed with the Switch 2 Direct. No Monolith Soft games, and most of the new releases didn’t really interest me. I’ve always been indifferent to FromSoft games in general, but seeing the Switch 2 game prices is just ridiculous. What the hell is Nintendo thinking, pricing games at $80–90?! Nobody likes that, especially when the Switch 2 itself is already quite expensive by their standards. Also, I hate the whole Game Card situation—it combines the worst aspects of digital and physical gaming. Seriously, if this becomes normalized, I might just quit gaming or resort to pirating. Anyway, I feel like I should invest in a PC for emulation and Steam discounts…
I also hate seeing people asking for an Xenoblade 2 remake. XB2 has aged like fine wine and still looks great! Even when it reaches its 10-year anniversary, its graphics and visuals will still hold up. All it needs is a patch for a better tutorial, no need for a full-blown remake. I’d rather Monolith create a new game instead of remaking XB2. Besides, Xenoblade Chronicles X and XB1 actually need remakes since they’re stuck on inaccessible consoles, and their graphics still feel outdated (XCX especially since it was unfinished). Anyway, I hope we get XB4 in the Fall Direct or a new IP from Monolith Soft.

Date: Friday, 4 April 2025 13:22 (UTC)As someone just coming out of their own couple-week-long grind, I definitely empathize. That said, I think I’m just now starting to come out of my own slump—wanting to strangle some people through the internet aside—so I hope a second wind also comes along for you soon, at least.
Yeah, those price points likewise would’ve been a wet towel for me if there was much I was seriously invested in for this first (half-)year in the first place. It’s good to see DK getting some love again, I guess—but considering all of the AA and indie titles
in my backlogthat I somehow doubt I’ll get less mileage-per-moolah out of than Monke Odyssey™ over there, I think I’ll just keep an ear out for the OST instead. At most, I’ll take advantage of the MKWorld bundle and hold out for Legends Z-A (while wondering whether I actually want to play more Deltarune on Steam or just watch somebody else fight the secret bosses instead)—but hey, I never even bothered with MK8(Deluxe), so…(no subject)
