What Video Game Did I Play Yesterday?

February 2025

February 6th, 2025

I half-heartedly played some normal games last night. I installed Sims 4 onto my Legion Go and threw together a random Sim to do some quick play. It wasn't very exciting, and I kind of want to optimize my control setup for this a bit this weekend. Plus, I missed playing as my own default disaster Sim! Still, having this ready to go on a portable system holds much promise.

After I was done with Sims 4, I tried Dragon Cliff, a very casual seeming idle RPG I'd snapped up for two dollars on Steam. The text felt a bit "off," but it had an interesting, if not slightly unintuitive, start. I might play this some more before bed tonight.

I went back to work after norovirus today and completely zoned out immediately after. I got it together enough to post now, but luckily, I only played a little bit of Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Complete to wind down last night. My head was pounding, and pretend fishing helped.

Thank you for the well-wishes yesterday! I was really sick from norovirus, so I had to skip posting here for the first time since starting this blog. I wasn't able to play much yesterday, since I barely had enough energy to pick up my tablet. On the 3rd, though, which is sadly booted from my historical record, I started a new mobile game, Limbus Company, and played three stages of that before going to sleep for 14 hours.

I still don't have a ton of energy, but I'm glad I can post again today.

Today is a low intensity day, which is nice. So was yesterday! I only played mobile games again, but spent the most time in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Complete. I kept running through tiny February events, racking up resources in amounts I'm not sure I can use, and dressing up in cute outfits. It's nice to get stuff done without worrying about microtransactions.

Before I fell asleep, I did some really awful play in Dragon Wings, too. I unlocked a new dragon girl, and was able to get quite a lot of the Valentine's event cookies, but just kind of got exploded over and over. Sometimes, that's just how it goes.

I played Galaxiga again, too, but it was even more merciless about ad watching and item buys than I expected, even folding them into daily and newbie quests. That's fine, but it's not for me, so this game got booted off of my tablet.

It's a late post tonight, but I'm excited to get February off to a good start! More than any game goals, I'd like to read 28 manga/manhwa/graphic novels this month, but I am going to keep playing stuff! I cleared 10 games last month, and would be happy to continue plowing through bargain games next month.

I only really spent any time with mobile shmups last night. I started a new one, Galaxiga, which was an okay time waster. The pixel art is nice, but it really focuses on having you level up your ships and drones. I don't really mind that, but kind of expect the level up requirements to get unreasonable fast.

I kept up with the Valentine's event in Dragon Wings, too, and am still having fun. I did pretty well in the game's league mode yesterday, too, but honestly don't think there are that many other players.
