What Video Game Did I Play Yesterday?

Dragon Cliff (Lenovo Legion Go)

June 12th, 2025

I'm cutting my post close again, just of laziness today. I let Dragon Cliff run while I was working on some other stuff, making brilliant levelling progress while getting a little bored.

I tried Castle of Shikigami right before bed, too, and was bad enough even at Very Easy mode to feel motivated to improve. I kind of want to tackle the Steam achievement list here, but it'll be quite a long road. I'm getting better at shmups every time I play, though, so there's no harm in trying!

I'm running late tonight because I did an oddly timed grocery run after waiting around to avoid a storm that never happened. This will be a quick post! I tried a Survivors-like I had stashed called Carrot Survivors because one of my friends saw the words "carrot quest" at work. It just felt like I was fated to give this game a try after that. It's really fun, and silly! You can make a pixel version of the Initial D car run over eggplants, and I like that in a game.

I did a few runs through the forest in Dragon Cliff, too, but was extremely sleepy and didn't finish any quests. Even though this is an auto-battler, it takes enough grinding that it's not exactly fast.

I worked a bit on my Bubsy puzzle, too! I'm hoping to finish this over the weekend and get back to the Jujutsu Kaisen puzzle.

I'm really sleepy for no reason tonight, but last night, I cleared 100 Korea Cats before bed, another Steam cat finding game. It was very all right. I always like when these games let me switch between color and lineart, since the new perspective makes it easier to find some cats when I get stuck.

I played a very short session of Dragon Cliff, too, clearing a few little quests before falling asleep. I want to farm some gold for an item I couldn't quite afford last night if I play it at all tonight.

After I tossed the bad Strawberry Shortcake puzzle back in the box, I got out a much nicer Jujutsu Kaisen one. This'll be the first 1000 piece puzzle I tackle on my own, but even from the 10 minutes I spent on this last night, I can tell I'm in for a better time already.

Today is my birthday, and I am very sleepy because of wind and storms keeping me awake last night. I stalled out on this as long as possible so I could zone out for a bit. Last night, though, I just played Dragon Cliff, an idle-ish RPG I'd gotten cheaply in a sale. I'm starting to get the hang of this and have a nice time. If I continue playing it once every other month, I should have it done in a few years!

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.
