What Video Game Did I Play Yesterday?

Demonizer (Lenovo Legion Go)

January 21st, 2025

It was extremely cold this morning, so I didn't want to get up and be useful before work, putting me in a position where I am now doing my daily post with 39 minutes left in the day. It is my own fault, so I can't complain very seriously.

I traded to a different shmup for the week yesterday, picking Demonizer, a bullet hell game I had in my itch.io library. I am horrible at it, and was feeling very discouraged last night, since I got stuck on level 2. It is definitely a skill issue, and I did just barely get incrementally better in my 45 minutes of trying over and over again. I'll keep trying for the week, though, and if I can't do it this week, I'll come back when I've got more skills.

In a more delightful session of gaming, I used one of the DLC characters and misplaced levels of effort to slow Sweet Survivors down to less than one frame a second as I rode my exercise bike. I was very excited and bragged about it to my friends, who have dealt with me for long enough to take my pride in this achievement in stride.

I also played Dragon Wings really badly while I was half asleep, so tired and chilly that I was having trouble with my dailies. Usually, I don't talk about my mobile game daily tasks here, since it's boring, but I spent enough time failing last night that it seemed worth noting today.
