There's nothing basic about that challenge. Congrats.

It took me a bit but it felt so good when I finally did it. Like being a kid hitting 100 lines in NES Tetris again.

3) RE2

Leon A/Claire B

people always say this is the gold standard of the series but saying that when REmake exists seems dumb. I like though how they seem to give you enough ammo to actually use your weapons and go a bit wild if you want. Also they're extremely generous with the ribbons, i finished both scenarios with 20 to spare, which for a first time player seems way too high. Died twice on Leon, and once on Claire, too, which is potatoes compared to how much i ate poo poo on REmake. Also the police station is pretty good but its over real fast, and each key unlocks like 2 doors, making it so deciding which key to carry is a bit less of a gamble, because you just exhaust their uses before getting the next one

REmake is absolutely On it's own tier but RE2 is still a great time, and a really tremendous improvement over original RE1. If you've never played the first I would recommend checking it out, so many rooms are just white cubes with the one thing you can inspect, which really makes the incredibly detailed spaces of RE2 that much more impressive

it was insanely easy. which i mean, pokemon, i know. but I literally didnt die except on the final battle. and i wasnt doing anything but beelining the main story so nobody was overleveled or anything. and if you are just doing the main story then it's a sequence of gym battles with very very little in the way of plot or anything interesting. maybe these games arent for me. like i know you're supposed to catch em all and stuff but i feel like the main story should drive that a little more

the main story is literally for 5 year olds you gotta either be chill with that or go all out beyond that

Shovel Knight - King Knight

Really good. I loved the shorter levels, though as stated I suck rear end at Joustus. Overall I would probably say Spectre > King > Shovel > Plague.

First game of 2020: Saints Row 2. It was my favorite game for a long time but it�s been the better part of a decade since I last played it so I was worried it wouldn�t hold up, but I think it was actually even better than I remembered. It was my first time playing the DLC though and that was pretty lame.

I enjoyed but the PC version on win7 was a buggy softlocking mess on my machine. Like it would just stop loading dialog mid conversation and I'd have to save and quit to keep going. I finished it despite that so I must have liked it

It's not even close to as long winded and insane as the zero escape games but they do overuse the AI sight flashbacks a bit much for my taste.

Now I did it with the Silent. I thought I wasn't really enjoying it but then I went to bed and it was all I could think about.

Slay the Spire - Ascension 0 Defect

Used the Snecko Eye and Hello World, making a deck where I just get 10 random loving cards every turn. Then, I chose the best one. Things were looking grim at the Time Eater until I noticed my next orb was a dark that had 106 damage stored, and Dualcast was in my hand.
