What Video Game Did I Play Yesterday?

Contrast (XBox Series S)

March 20th, 2024

My last 24 hours have gone somewhat poorly! I had a tire blowout on the way home last night, so I pushed my car to a local tire shop and parked it in the lot overnight, hoping for mercy. Then, I got up early this morning to call over for help, which I did get, and pretty fast, which was nice! Even the cheap and mid-range tires are expensive, though, so I'm salty about how much it cost. Things worked out, though, and I'm glad I can get to work hassle free now. Plus, I even have time to do this before leaving again!

Game-wise, though, I was just messing around with GamePass games I'd started and not finished again. I picked Contrast back up last night, and while I like the idea of this game, running through the shadows of 1920s Paris, it makes me a little woozy to play. I think I can get through it in short chunks, though, so I'm sticking with it now because the setting is neat. I'll see how it goes!

Today, I feel mildly better than I did yesterday. I tried a game on Game Pass last night, Contrast, and it's ok so far. I got motion sickness after just a few minutes, even though a lot of the platforming is 2D, so I didn't play for long. I might keep playing further away from my TV, though. It seems easy, and I read it was short, so it would be a shame to give up.

I played a normal amount of Disney Tsum Tsum, too, and am getting close to clearing the initial part of the flower event.
