The only real kick in the pants I need is to finish Super Metroid. I got to the 2nd Ridley fight and couldn't figure it out. Now it's been several months and I'm anxious that I've forgotten the controls and will only ever fail.

youre 90% of the way through the game at minimum, finish the fight

I started playing La Mulana 2 in the gap between the Spelunky 2 console launch and PC launch in hopes it would satisfy some of the craving, even though the only similarity between them is the hat the main character wears. Turns out I didn't like Spelunky 2 that much (it's pretty good, don't get me wrong) but I totally forgot to go back to La Mulana 2, which I was really enjoying a lot. Thanks for the reminder, definitely bumped it up my to-do list.

Also, Disco Elysium isn't a short game, but there's very little friction/parts to potentially get stuck on, so if the writing and setting clicks for you you'll probably burn through it in a few days. At this point though it's probably worth postponing until the big (free) update comes in March which adds a shitload of new voice acting among other stuff

the la-mulana games are so fuckin good, psycho solo japanese game devs ftw. if you havent played 1 you should do it after 2, it's basically a perfect metroidvania and its got a god-tier soundtrack

i've bounced off disco elysium twice now, once a game-breaking bug ate my save at the end of the first day and the second time i died of a heart attack and hadn't saved in like three hours. the world and writing are kick-rear end, i just need to get past the first day

END OF Q1 CHECK-IN

  • all the yakuza games 3-7 (beat 3, halfway through 4)
  • la-mulana 2
  • SMT5 and the nocturne remaster
  • saga frontier remastered
  • two other saga or saga-adjacent games i haven't played (saga frontier 2, unlimited, last remnant, treasure of the rudras, legend of mana)
  • bravely default 2 (have a save literally at the final boss for when i'm done with monster hunter)
  • gagharv trilogy
  • disco elysium
  • monster hunter rise
  • stardew valley 1.5

feeling good about my goals so far, i feel like i'm gonna rip rear end through yakuza 4 next time i play and then probably 5 too out of excitement for six. smt5 and nocturne aren't out yet but that's going to be some strong summer gaming. bd2 is basically done, just playing monster hunter for now. i think that ultimately this list is pretty doable, although i'm gonna have to hustle to get through. i'm shooting to get any six of these done, i think, wth the rest as extra credit

e: forgot to include stardew 1.5 too, shoudl be some nice cozy gaming at some point

killin' it. i pulled the gagharv trilogy off the list because it couldnt steal it easily. sorry nene. otherwise i just need to beat nocturne, grind some saga frontier endings, beat treasure of the rudras or sf2, and wait for smt5 to come out. my original post said that i wanted to cross off six things from the list and i already did that, so honestly everythin else is gravy
