What Video Game Did I Play Yesterday?

Final Fantasy VII (Switch 2)

November 30th, 2025

My focus was horrible yesterday, so today's post is skipping a lot of shmups that I waffled between for five minutes at a time. Some days are like that. I did, however, beat Silly Bandz, which I guess is technically an accomplishment. After clearing the final stage, I realized I had more little bracelets to unlock. I don't want to spend a lot more time playing Angry Birds without the good bits, though. It was enough to clear all the levels and roll the credits.

Past that, I actually did spend a decent amount of time on Final Fantasy VII. I got through Wall Market and got dropped through a floor into a dungeon zone, which was satisfying. It's cool to play things I've heard about for years and get better context for them.

After doing my aforementioned skipping from shooter to shooter, I settled on spending time on a Steam port of Deathsmiles. I didn't pull off any fantastic feats last night, but I wasn't having to continue until late in stage 5. It gave me unfounded confidence.

I did a stack of puzzles in Picross S: SNK Classics & NeoGeo, too, which was a pleasant way to get myself to sleep.

I have no zip today and regret the amount of games I played yesterday. For a lot of the day, I let a very cute tower defense clicker called Slimeow Game run on my tablet. It runs in browsers, so you can click to play it here! I lost my first couple of runs, but I took things slowly and carefully and cleared it on my third. It was really pleasant, and the graphics were cute. I'm glad I stumbled across this!

I played a little more than I have been of Final Fantasy VII, too. I finally met Aerith, who seems lovely. I hope nothing tragic or catastrophic happens to her!

Other than that, I was in games for five to ten minutes. I got and tried Kirby Air Riders, which was fun, but also crashed! I don't know if I've had a console game crash for over a year, so I was pretty surprised by that, especially in such a big release.

After that, I wandered around Fortnite islands trying to find a Vampire Survivors knockoff until I got bored and wandered off to do something else.

I also kept playing Mario Kart World before bed. It remains perfect for this purpose.

I am almost to the end of the week and appreciative of this fact. Yesterday, I zoned out for longer than I should have with Unfair Flips, in which I still have not flipped 10 heads in a row. I'll get it someday, though, probably!

I kept up with my nightly brief dalliances with Final Fantasy VII, moving forward towards the sector 5 Shinra reactor. I hadn't realized I'd forgotten to equip everyone with materia, so I had a very rough random battle, but I'm in better shape now.

Before bed, I played a little more Mario Kart World again. I mostly just did open world stuff last night, which was fun. It's a pleasant sleepy-time game.

I didn't do much game playin' last night. I played to my next save point in Final Fantasy VII, which was surprisingly brief. Progress is progress, though.

I did a couple of Knockout Tours and open world missions in Mario Kart World, too, which was okay. I just needed to play something laid back for a little bit, and this fit the bill.

I had a very early doctor's appointment today, and am now so tired I almost didn't post here. Yesterday wasn't a very hardcore gaming day, though, so I've got this. I played another 15 or so minutes of Final Fantasy VII, which wasn't super eventful. I got a lot of tutorial content.

For some reason, I got really set on going back to and finishing Unfair Flips yesterday. I did two full runs, but didn't get ten heads in a row in either of them. The bad endings are too goofy to be frustrating, so this was fine. I'm still kind of determined to win that 10th coin flip straight, though.

Like yesterday, I played a very small amount of Fitness Boxing feat. Hatsune Miku. I'm taking a break from this today.

Last night, I started playing Final Fantasy VII, which I've only played the first hour of before. One of my friends was doing a replay of it and made it seem super fun, so this seemed like an ok time to tackle it. I only played for 30 minutes last night, so I'm still pretty well in the opening. It'll be cool to play this for myself, though.

Before bed, I played some of the save-point-free Vampire Survivors, properly getting into the Balatro DLC. I'm not sure if I like the new stage yet, but Jimbo is a fun new character to use, and I like the new stat boost pickups, too.

I did some minimal play in Fitness Boxing feat. Hatsune Miku, too. It was nice, and I got a few achievements taken out, too.
