What Video Game Did I Play Yesterday?

Farm Kitten: Puzzle Pipes (Lenovo Legion Go)

January 5th, 2025

Yesterday, I didn't start any new games, but I did finish Farm Kitten: Puzzle Pipes. The pipe puzzles in this game were just okay, and it took me a while to get used to the camera. I am very charmed that this was a game about doing farm work for the world's most demanding and oddly specific kitten, though. No people are in sight, but I got them a car, a house, a tractor, some utility buildings, and even their very own windmill! They're a great little CG bug-cat, and they deserved all of it. I hope that the little cutie was somehow a cog in an elaborate money laundering scheme.

With uncharacteristic determination, I also left Jujutsu Kaisen: Phantom Parade running for most of the morning and a good chunk of the afternoon, determined to get a good start on the long term goals in the current story event so I'd have a better chance at getting Nanami's new SSR in the long run. I then got him in my second pull of the day, gracelessly gloated about it to a family member I play with, and didn't touch the game for the rest of the day.

As for my ill-advised adventures in fitness gaming, I popped a bunch of Ricolas and pieced together 30 minutes of exercise in Fitness Boxing feat. Hatsune Miku. In hindsight, it would have been a lot less effort to just do the longer daily workout session, but my brain wasn't there yesterday.

Though I considered starting a new cat game last night, I just ended up playing a bit of Hole io to put myself to sleep. It's a long grind, but the destruction makes me feel powerful.

Much like a boss battle, my current cold has many stages, so I am bereft of pep today. I kept going with some game stuff yesterday, though. I did a longer workout in Fitness Boxing feat. Hatsune Miku, which actually gave me enough energy to press on for a couple more hours.

That didn't quite take a full half hour, though, so I played a couple of songs in Just Dance 2014 after that. I hadn't played any Just Dance games for a while, but I have somewhat conflicting feelings on them. They're fun, and I think they're a decent way to get a spot of exercise, but they also kind of barely feel like games to me. I'm not good enough to be confident in saying so, but the controls feel very loose and imprecise to me, and even with the "next move" bar at the bottom, I feel a bit like what you need to do isn't telegraphed well. I like pop music, though, and it's enjoyable to flail around like a dingbat. It's a good placeholder game.

I did a few more puzzles in Farm Kitten: Puzzle Pipes, too. I'd like to finish this tonight, but if I don't, that's fine, too.

I'm so sleepy today I almost forgot to post here today! I played some games yesterday, though. I did a couple exercises in Fitness Boxing feat. Hatsune Miku, long live my streak!

I played Walk It Out! more, and the little girl announcer in it was really rude that I played less time than I had the day before! I love this game, and it's really relaxing, but the announcer in it is so irritating! Being mean in a fitness game is not encouraging.

As for normal gaming, I started a new cat game called Farm Kitten: Puzzle Pipes. The kitten is pretty incidental to the game itself, but it's a decent little pipe connecting puzzle. I'm hoping to finish it in the next couple days!
