Well, unlike my plan to return to Dragon Quest XI, I wanted to play another action game, so started Nioh. The game is even more difficult than Demon’s Souls, but I am really enjoying it.

What about all of you? What have you been playing?

    Alright, weekly Baten Kaitos update. I left the final dungeon right after the penultimate boss became the true final boss because there’s a single unique card that was awkwardly placed in between them and I wanted it now. With it, I now have all weapon, armor and photo cards, which required having a guide nearby for the missables. So now I’m grinding out SP Combos, which isn’t hard, but takes patience. Especially because the list isn’t ordered in a logical way! Some recipes require cards you get from combos much further down the list, so I have to jump around a lot. And then there’s the combos that require cards that have aged to a certain point, but not too far, so I had to buy some grapes and wait for them to rot and become wine in six hours before I can do the combo that needs them. It would have been easier to do them throughout the game, but there’s ~140 of them and none of them just happen naturally. I would have had to spend a lot of time researching when to do all of them before I could even start playing the game. But it’s not like I’m pressed for time, the shampoo is still sitting there, waiting to age…

    Today, I beat the last regular world of Mario Bros. Wonder. I’m backtracking to all the Special World locations before continuing though.

      I am really impressed by your dedication to reaching 100% in Baiten Kaitos, makes me want to play it more.

      Congratulations on beating Wonder! Where to next?

        Completing Baten Kaitos is something I was never able to do when I tried back on the Gamecube and it got to the point where I didn’t even enjoy the game anymore. But with the HD Remaster and the New Game+ option, I knew that even if I miss something, it wouldn’t be the end of my entire save file. I ended up not needing it, but it removed the stress.

        Wonder isn’t quite beaten yet, but I also have no plans to start anything fancy, especially on the PC side. This is the month I plan on replacing my PC from 2016 in its entirety, so I’ll have to focus on that first.

          Heh, can’t imagine spending all that time on trying to 100% the game and then finding out you missed one thing.

          Oooh, that seems like a big project, good luck! Would wait to see what you play on your “new” machine.
