What Video Game Did I Play Yesterday?

October 2025

This morning, I was really delighted to get an extremely low quality fake Labubu at the gas stations. Her name is Joanie and she loves Nascar and doing shots. Her diet used to be mainly roller hot dogs and pizza by the slice, but since the gas station rebranded, she's getting a little healthier with some pre-made deli sandwiches. It's likely she won't be thrilled to come into such a soup and salad heavy home, but I think it'll be good for her in the long run. All the seams in her fluff seem like evidence of a health issue.

Cut-rate pop culture ephmera aside, I had some decent game time last night. I picked up Unfair Flips after seeing a few seconds of it on Youtube, which is just a game about struggling against probability. The goal is to flip 10 heads in a row, but you're playing with a coin that's rigged against you. You can level up to improve your odds, but nothing is guaranteed. It's the perfect get-sleepy game, and I look forward to playing it until I pass out many more times.

I scored some more unlocks in Vampire Survivors, too, which was fun. I'm loading Charlotte from the Castlevania DLC up with stat boosting eggs because I did a nice perler bead of her once. I've made moves in games for dumber reasons than this.

Last night, I was set on playing spooky games for October, so I worked on the Castlevania DLC in Vampire Survivors. It was fun and I got a lot of unlocks. Plus, this DLC seems like an insane deal for the price right now. It might take me the whole month, and that would be great.

I tried to get through Cotton 100%, too, and had a good time. This is super petty on my end, but I don't think I'm going to try to one credit clear this because I don't like the music in it. I do want to scum my way through it on easy, though, and think that's extremely possible. I got up to level 4 before quitting last night, and'll probably try again soon.

I'm doing a quick lunch break post today, which was easy considering that I didn't play much last night. I did three or four puzzles to press on in Hidden Shapes: Lovely Cats, which I should have done in the next few days.

From there, I just wanted to relax enough to get some sleep, so I played a couple rounds of Meteora's Mystic Merge. I got a couple more of this game's achievements, which was satisfying!

Last night, I didn't do much gaming, but it's because I went to see the 4k restoration of The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, not because my mood was bad. I know it's very elder millenial to say stuff like this, but it's so cool I can just go to the theater to see anime movies nowadays! It's fun to have anime be accessible and affordable like it is right now, and it put me in a decent mood.

The movie did eat up a lot of my time, though, so I just played a few rounds of Horses.io after uninstalling a few more Steam games I had installed. This is a weird little game with screaming horses, but it was completely fine to kill ten minutes before bed.
