What Video Game Did I Play Yesterday?

September 10th, 2024

This is a pretty sleepy morning, but that's ok. Yesterday, I decided to try moving my exercise gaming to the morning, with a light workout in Fitness Boxing: Fist of the North Star. It was not what I would consider an enjoyable choice, but I was happy with myself for not getting back in bed to push silently dreading the day as close as possible to the start of my work shift.

Other than that, though, it was just a mobile game day. I tried another Instant Plays game on my phone, Pixelint, which is just a simple "match your pixels to the example" game. The ads aren't too intrusive in this one, with one five second one playing every three or four levels. Plus, it seems relaxing so far.

I put some time into Wixoss Multiverse again, too, feeling satisfied that levelling my party had concrete results in battle. It was not a good focus tool yesterday, though. I ended up totally putting aside the stuff I was supposed to be doing to feed my tiny anime girls.... maybe batteries, I don't know, I'm actually not paying so much attention. That's fine, though! Games are for fun and relaxation, not productivity, so that was maybe a healthier way to enjoy it.

I'm trying to get the week off to a good start this morning, but do not feel like I'm approaching the task well. Yesterday, though, I did have a successful productivity aid in Wixoss Multiverse, which I left running for hours as I ran through my daily tasks. It was too play-intensive to use during a work day, since I'd finish a set amount of tasks every hour before letting myself play, but it helped me get through 31 tasks on my weekly to-do list, which is a new record! Plus, my tiny card girls have all sorts of fancy weapons and it makes me feel powerful.

I'm trying to get back to fitness games more regularly, too, since I'm somewhat getting out of whatever dreadful "curl up in a ball and nap" funk I'd been in. Last night, that meant I did a 12 minute exercise in Fitness Boxing 2 while I waited to go pick up Indian food, but it wasn't nothing.

I played another run of Balatro after my internet went out, too. It was bad again.

I'm still spacy today, but having a decently productive morning regardless. It required a lot of work last night, since I'd managed my time badly during the week, but I did finish another round of cat-crafts and girl-crafts for last week! The cat was a surprisingly tricky (for me at least!) origami model, from instructions at this link on Instructables. I kept having to bounce between the written instructions and the video, but I'm pleased that I finally got it!

The cross stitch is of Miwa from Jujutsu Kaisen, which I remain too zoomed in on. The pattern is by DiscoveringArdna on Etsy, and after loading up last week, I still have a lot of her little anime patterns to make!

As for games, I scored a Wii balance board yesterday, which is good in that it allows me to exercise in increasingly outdated and dumb ways! It actually worked a lot better than I thought, though. Walk It Out! is the only game I have for it so far, and once I figured out that the balance board prefers the tile part of my floor to the carpeted part, it worked extremely well. I'm looking forward to seeing how it goes with more traditional fitness games.

I kept flailing at the event that's running in Magical Circle Guru-Guru: Stardust Adventure, too. I do not believe for a second that I am going to get the event-exclusive character, but I am getting a better grip on the game's systems and how they match up to pieces of the G123 games that make more sense to me. Leveling up just seems so much slower than this one in the others, and I can't figure out if it's just nastier about its pay to win bits or just scaled differently.

I also played two extremely bad runs of Balatro. It wasn't bad luck. I was just tired.

I slept well last night, but feel kind of wiped out and disoriented this morning. I don't have much I have to get done today, so I guess that's fine. It would be nice to have a more functional brain, though.

Games-wise, I played a lot of Fitness Boxing feat. Hatsune Miku last night, which was a lot of fun. The rhythm game mode is integrated into the daily workouts, which is a nice way to mix things up. I ended up popping back in to play more and more of the rhythm game after my daily workout, though. It was fun!

Other than that, I just had a mobile game day. I did work on the current event in Magical Circle Guru-Guru: Stardust Adventure, but my progress is a little plodding so far. I might switch up my party some and see if that helps at all. My guess, though, is that refusing to pay in an event that seems very pay to win isn't going to work out for me in the end.

I did my weekly run at progress in Merge Pixel, too, and my numbers do seem to be going up at quite an impressive rate.

Today, I have no ambition, but do want to do crafts and play mobile games. I think I'll easily manage to live this extravagant dream.

It's finally Friday, and even though it's been a short work week, I'm looking forward to having it over and done with tonight!

Yesterday, Fitness Boxing feat. Hatsune Miku came out in the US, so I was really excited to try it. There's a "Miku Exercise" mode that does a lot to bridge the gap between this as a fitness game series and a proper music game that seems very fun so far! Mostly, though, having more music and trainer options makes it easier to stick with these games and get exercise. It's a bit of a boring conclusion, maybe, but I'm happy for it.

Over in mobile game fluff land, I turned on Magical Circle Guru-Guru: Stardust Adventure last night to see that it's having a proper event. I only scratched the surface of the tasks for it last night, but I'm going to try to tackle it over the next week. It's going to involve copious amounts of level grinding.

I also left King of Prism Sparkling running for a lot of the day, speaking of level grinding. It's taking longer than expected to burn through the resources I've gathered, which is fine by me.

I messed around with Prison Noctis for a decent amount of time, too, meandering through a tile match puzzle before deciding that I'll have an easier time of it if I go grind for gems in the merge mode for a couple of days. This, too, feels like a boring conclusion.

I crashed super hard last night, so I only played mobile games. I continued my quest for ultimate power in King of Prism Sparkling, but past that, was too drowsy to accurately describe what I did during this play session today.

I also ran through a couple batches of free energy in Prison Noctis, trying to get tickets for a Mastermind style fruit sorting game. I didn't get enough to make any headway, and that is fine.

September 4th, 2024

I felt empowered by clearing Catlord last night, so I decided to tackle the free expansion to Super Kiwi 64, Doomsday. I only did one level so far, but it's more Super Kiwi 64, so I enjoyed it. It feels good to control, the level designs are neat, and it's both cute and vaguely unsettling! It looks like this is only two levels, so I'll probably try to finish this tonight.
