What Video Game Did I Play Yesterday?

Hissatsu Pachinko Station Now 9: Dirty Pair (Anbernic)

December 31st, 2025

Limiting my exposure to Luck Be A Landlord last night did not help my sleep situation at all. I did play two rounds, but that didn't make me more productive or relaxed.

During the day, I ran Hissatsu Pachinko Station Now 9: Dirty Pair for a while, getting quite a few jackpots yesterday! It was sparkly.

This is my last post of the year, so happy new year, everyone!

Last night, I slept really poorly, so this might not be so coherent. I played Mario Party online after work yesterday, just to make sure I could swear at my coworkers one last time before the year ended. I am not the biggest Mario Party fan on earth, but it was an ok time! The graphics and music were good vibes. Plus, unlike when I was a kid, I was not playing to win, which made it more fun. Embracing the futility of the game was nice!

I spent way more time than I should have playing Luck Be A Landlord, too. I cleared another floor, but am limiting my time with this game tonight.

For my pachinko time, I ran Hissatsu Pachinko Station Now 9: Dirty Pair for a few minutes. The sound and graphics in this are not as sharp as in Dolphin Ring, but I still don't dislike it as a background game. It's garish, shiny, and amusing.

A couple days ago, I got a cute new retro gaming advice to drag along with me on vacation. I am using this as an excuse to experience the pure idle gaming experience of virtual pachinko. Last night, I played a little of Hissatsu Pachinko Station Now 9: Dirty Pair before bed, chosen because Kei and Yuri have all-timer anime girl character designs. It got me to sleep, so it was a ten out of ten experience. I'm sure any company would love having that as a pull quote.
