It's going to be a couple of very interesting days for Mastodon.

There's this cycle with me and online communities. Join -> feel at home -> enjoy yourself -> get insulted -> wondering whether to stay or leave.

Played a lot of Kirby Triple Deluxe. It's a very strong entry with some very varied leveldesign, neat little puzzles and challenging bossfights. Collectibles can be well hidden, so I missed a couple. That makes returning to the game later on more interesting though.

I'm not a completionist by any measure, but giving me a good reason to revisit a stage is always a good thing in my book.

I'll probably finish this one for my 30 days of 3DS challenge!

I decided to challenge myself and only play my 3DS for 30 days.

So today I gave Resident Evil Mercenaries 3D a first and last try. While the game is decent fun, it's way too intense for me thanks to the time limits. Still, it's very impressive what they managed to cram in here, even if animations frames at 5 meters get super choppy so the framerate overall is able to keep up.

The end of the year is getting close. Maybe now is a good time to look back on the games I completed this year and what I thought of them

This will be a pretty long thread I guess and I'll add to it over the next couple of hours or even days. I don't do awards or "the best gaem of the year" because honestly I find that to be a silly idea and in retrosprect you might consider your favorite game of the year from 2007 to be an entirely different one than the one you picked while stuffing yourself with christmas cookies because time is a flat circle and your existence is more finite then you ever will realize.

Bleak.

Just looking at the prices for used DS or 3DS games is a good way to feel sick.

I love it when randos reply to a toot with passive agressive remarks. Makes me feel right at home!

Day 3 of my 30 days of 3DS challenge: Space Invaders Extreme is very fun. Also crushingly difficult, completely nuking me in stage 4. I doubt I'll give that one another go.

Kirby Mouse Attack is quite fun though. Might play that one more.

I just officially DNFed This is how you loose the time war. I found it to be tedious, boring and irritating. I don't like the characters, the voices, the plot or the letters. I know many people really like it, but after 80 pages, I had to give up.

I need to follow more people on here who are into #manga and #anime.

Any suggestions?

I have begun to take my 3DS with me for my walks. Not just to collect playcoins but also in the hope of maybe, just maybe getting a streetpass. Chances are slim, granted. Very few people these days still use their 3DSes... and even less people put the wifi on. However, I am missing a single puzzle piece and I really want to get that one!

Writing a horror novella with a romance subplot made me realize... I haven't read any modern romance novels! Need to expand my horizon so I am super open to recommendations!

Be it Bookwyrm or storygraph: both tools are worthless if you read books in any language but English. Since I read books in four languages, even goodreads fails to be able to track all of them. Guess I go back to just keeping notes on my smartphone.

I don't get people using mastodon and having zero infos on their profile and then trying to follow me. Why should I let you follow me? What kind of replies could I get from you? Feels unsafe and bad. Do not try to follow me if you think it unnecessary to give me any kind of info about yourself, your vibes etc.

All of a sudden I lost interest in gaming again and I'm reading more again. I think it definitely has something to do with work related stress. The urge to read jus increases the more time I spend in front of bright screens (eReaders are fine)....

Played my first game of ticket to ride in a while. It's a great game after a stressfull and intense day. Not too taxing but interesting enough to play it every two or three months.

Wondering whether I should get the Japan addon...

The Solarpunk short story collection I'm part of has been released yesterday at the biggest bookfair of Luxembourg. It has been a surprising success and I think the first edition will be sold out by the end of today. It's only 100 copies, but it was very hard to gage how big interest would be.

I'm very proud to be part of that first issue and hope I make it into the second one as well...

If you want to check out what the Science-Fiction and Fantasy writers of this small country can produce, go to https://anerwelten.lu

It's completely free and a lot of stories are in English.

Looking back on april, I barely have watched any Anime or read any manga.

It's fine. You can't do everything at the same time.

Ok, a Link Between Worlds starts off interesting enough to keep me going for the rest of the day. This might be the third Zelda game I enjoy.

Won my second run yesterday in Slay the Spire. I really enjoy the game and I'm learning a lot about deckbuilders at the same time. It gives me plenty ideas for my own deckbuilding game.

I just had this very bad thought: Why should I continue writing and putting things on the internet, if it's only used to later feed an AI?

March is nearing its end, so it's time to look back at what I have done!

Let's start with gaming: I started and completed Stray this month and it was a fascinating little game that was short and very enjoyable. You play as a cat and that by itself is jusr wonderful.

I played a lot of Balatro and it gave me the idea for my own cardgame, which I am actively working on.

Civ 6 is another mainstay. I managed to beat a game with Elizabeth in my fourth attempt!

Sorting through my manga collection, looking at which stuff I could get rid off and get the digital version of.

There are no digital versions of Kosuke Fujishima's You're under Arrest??

Also, nobody seems to have heard of a manga series called GachaGacha...

Going digital is tough...

I just noticed that I have been on urusai for a little over a year. I really enjoy this instance and the people on it. It has led to my best social media experience ever. Thank you all and thanks to @neatchee for keeping this up!
