What did you Accomplish in Gaming Today?

[hippy dave]

Yesterday, I cleared Planet Scrapheap in Super Bomberman R, with a 3 star rating (veteran difficulty). I didn't manage to get the three stars back when I played through the game years ago when I first got my Switch, so that was satisfying. Gotta do it for Planet Lalaland too next, and then get around to the additional Planet Bomber which I haven't cleared yet.

Technically yesterday, but I finally got Veteran status on FlashFlashRevolution after 3 billion overall points and 3.14 years of smashing arrows.

I just now unlocked Endless mode in Tetris Ultimate for 3DS. I am not very good at Tetris Ultimate for 3DS but it's a fun game.

I played through Baba Is You XTREME - a short, free, weird variation on the excellent block-pushing puzzle game Baba Is You, by the original author. It was a fun novelty, would recommend if you've enjoyed the original. Works well in Wine fwiw.

Not one darn thing. Been busy with doctors appointments. And then while there in the waiting room, I tried to play my PSP, and they called me in. What's up with that? Usually they take awhile to call you in.

Not sure it's an accomplishment but I learned that Metroid (the first game) is super frustrating and I'm in for a challenge. Apart from that I started Majora's Mask for the first time.

You need a guide (for Metroid).

I think I do. Would you also recommend a stiff drink?

I haven't fully taken this challenge on yet but I'm at least gonna have a go at doing it myself with no guides.
I'm stubborn as fuck tho.

See this is the problem I have. I kind of want to just forget it and save myself time but once I've started something it's almost impossible for me to leave it unresolved, just on principle.

I get that. I've got a number of games I've been stuck on for ages, I come back to some of them occasionally trying to make some progress, sometimes I even manage a bit. The temptation is there to use a guide to get some of them out of the way, but it doesn't feel right.

Once you progress a little into the game it'll get very confusing, since there's no map in-game to use. Going without one you'll waste alot of time going back and forth wondering what you've missed and where you should go.. If you still want to go with it, i tell you to atleast use save states.

Thanks for the advice, will see how I go
