What Video Game Did I Play Yesterday?

Fire Emblem Heroes (Android)

April 6th, 2025

I don't feel very creative today, so it was hard to get myself hyped up for a post here! I tried inZOI last night, though. It was my birthday present to myself! It feels way more fishbowl-ish to me than Sims, which I'm completely okay with. My character, a trainee K-pop idol who chain eats bowls of yellow soup in her studio apartment, is very self-directed, and I kind of like that. I feel like I could run this game while I did crafts or even worked on this site without all hell breaking loose. It was peaceful and slow-paced.

I'm still sticking to the "100 games in 100 days" concept, too, so I played Where Birds yesterday. It wasn't nearly as good as Where Ghost Cats, which I'm not just saying as a joke. The art is a little less cute, but as far as the side objects, go, the humans are too easy to find while hiding a balloon in a coconut tree just feels a little unfair. It was okay, but pretty mid-tier for a Steam 100-hidden-whatever game.

I kept going with Pretty Girls 2048 Strike, too, hitting some higher difficulty battles and merging numbers until my eyes lost their power to focus. I'm maybe not responsible enough to have 2048 with a battle mechanic on hand, so I am taking a break from this today.

Other than that, I did a few battles in Fire Emblem Heroes. It was fine!

Yesterday was another uneventful gaming day, as I just kept up with the newbie style missions in Fire Emblem Heroes. They're throwing so many good characters and materials at me as a returning player right now that I feel like it's going to be a harsh come-down when they cut me off. I kind of suspect I'll just be able to finish the story content with everyone I've been given, though. It doesn't feel like a rough setup to me at all, so I'm waiting for the catch.

I was too sleepy for much gaming yesterday, but I did play a little bit of Fire Emblem Heroes. I come back to this mobile game every few years, but upon this return, I'd totally forgotten how to play! Luckily, it gave me a returning player sort of questline, with some five-star characters to balance the power creep that had gone on while I was gone. I am not proud, so I will do the beginner-style quests to get my bearings again.
