What Video Game Did I Play Yesterday?

Dungeon Village 2 (PS4)

August 28th, 2023

Today I have to deal with the fallout of Friday's problems, and feel sick to my stomach worried. I went to see the 4k restoration of Oldboy last night, which was quite a distraction, but unfortunately, did not last until today. My vibes are bad.

last night, I tried to play Dungeon Village 2 for a few minutes but bounced off it hard. I shut the PS4 off after 5 or so minutes.

I finished the second card in the Disney Tsum Tsum sticker book event, too.

I'm still solidly not having a good time, so it's another short post today. I played Dungeon Village 2 for a few minutes last night, while I tried to do some other stuff.

I built a couple of super easy Pokemon model kits, too, which was the highlight of my day. Skorbunny came out so cute!

I got destroyed yesterday, and am still really under the weather today, so this'll be a short post. I played Dungeon Village 2 a bit more while doing crafts last night. I didn't make any real progress, but still chipped away at my five star village rating.

To decompress after work, I built a cute little model of Kirby, too! I used the blue in the eyes, mouth, and cheeks for some paint testing, and learned how not to use a flourescent Gundam Marker. Still, I'm really satisfied with the cuteness level here.

I didn't play any long set aside games last night because I was too tired. Tonight might not be any better.

My nervousness is sky high this morning, for no real reason, but I am doing a short post now to get going and hopefully do my best today. Dungeon Village 2 was my most played game yesterday, since I had it running while I did some crafts, allowing me to enjoyably half-focus on each. I got my village up to for stars and started chipping away at five. It looks like getting that last star for my first village will be a little grindy, but that's how games go sometimes.

My "abandoned" game for yesterday was Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins, which I played for one level and went to sleep. It's a fun game while I'm playing, but I'm having trouble getting into it.

I also played a little more Disney Tsum Tsum, chipping away at the monthly event. I got one of the month's special characters in the gacha, and even though she's not great, skill-wise, she'll be helpful to get character bonuses if I get stuck in the event.

For August here, I want to revisit some of the games I tried and abandoned, just to check in and see if I can get on a roll with any of them. This isn't an August post, but when I came up with the idea, it sounded fun enough to try early. Therefore, I did, in fact, start early.

The first game I retried was My Sims on 3DS, which is fine, but maybe slightly too slow paced for all occassions. I did enjoy playing last night, paragliding and doing little dress designs. Some of the characters had things they were going to launch in the next in-game day, too, or at least the flower shop girl did, so the sense of progression wasn't bad, either. I might check in again soon.

I set a hard time limit for myself to play Dungeon Village 2 before bed, too, and was surprisingly ok sticking to it. I got my village up to 3 stars and feel like a 4-star village is extremely within reach. Having more than one map will stretch this further, though.

With this being the last post of July, I finished no games and generally felt pretty rubbish this month. My taking Friday off means that today'll probably be a pretty bad close to the month, too, and since I had food poisoning yesterday afternoon, I didn't make any leftovers to keep things easier for myself. Oh, well. Hopefully, I have a good August ahead.

I didn't feel like I could string a sentence together when I got up this morning, so I stalled out for ages before doing this post. I've got a newly crocheted dishcloth and had a lovely home lunch, so it wasn't too bad, but I still feel kind of ridiculous about it.

My most played game yesterday by a longshot was Dungeon Village 2, which I spent a good chunk of the afternoon on. Once I cleared my village's first star, I got set on making it a 2-star village, pictured below, and then felt too "in the middle of things" to just pack it up immediately after that. It's not likely that I'll play it today, since I'm bad at limiting my play sessions with it. If I can dodge overtime well this week, though, I might give it an evening after work.

At night, I went to see Barbie in a completely full theater, which was fun. I got back pretty late, though, so rather than doing anything too intense while I waited to get tired, I started River City Girls. I haven't played it long enough to pass much judgement yet, but it seems neat so far.

This post being done, I still feel pretty rubbish about my ability to accomplish anything, so I don't know what I'll do today. Oh, well! I think that's basically fine.

Yesterday had kind of a strange feeling to it. There was a big storm last night, and it took out my internet until this morning, which I think gives me an off-balance feeling thinking about it. Today will be pretty laid back, though. After seeing Oppenheimer yesterday, I'm going to a late show of Barbie tonight, and I also plan to get a takeout lunch and pay my bills. The thrills are never ending.

I started the story mode in Sonic Origins Plus last night, since I had a few minutes to kill before going out for dinner. The cutscenes are super cute so far, and I think the game being switched into HD might make Marble Zone mildly less miserable. Placing all the games straight in a row, though, is going to lead to some weird ups and downs in difficulty, I think. It's a neat idea, but will probably be something I play on and off when I have small chunks of spare time.

After my internet outage kicked in, though, I started Dungeon Village 2, one of the digital sale games I picked up recently. It had been so long since I'd last played a Kairosoft game, but I jumped right in without missing a beat! I used to play Game Dev Story and Pocket Academy like crazy, and spent quite a lot of time on The Sushi Spinnery and Pocket Clothier, too. I'd played others a tiny bit, too, due to bad luck with phones and devices dying after my downloads, one of which was the first Dungeon Village. This was really fun to start up again, and I played until I got too exhausted to sit upright. Even though a lot of the Kairosoft sims are same-y, they hit the "oh, I love watching numbers go up!" part of my brain hard, so I'll probably carry on with this until I get a five-star village. I'm looking forward to it, and also trying to stop myself from redownloading the Switch port of Game Dev Story.
