What Video Game Did I Play Yesterday?

King of Fighters XV (PS4)

July 12th, 2023

I am still not feeling amazing today, but that is ok. Last night, I turned on King of Fighters XV for a few minutes since I'd been reading the KOF XIV tie in manga, The King of Fighters: A New Beginning, and wanted to see Shun'ei's mismatched pant leg lengths in action. It's a very video game-y flourish, I respect it.

After a brief few minutes of that, I made a very minor dent in the Soul Chronicle mode in Soul Calibur 6, playing a few of Kilik's chapters. It was fine, but not super engaging. I got really sleepy and just went to bed from there.

Yesterday, the only thing I played was King of Fighters XV, for a few minutes before bed. I was just messing with 1P vs CPU to get back into the swing of the game and had a good time. I respect that Chizuru's fashion remains 90s soap opera, shoulder-pads and all, and was having a good time playing as her last night.

Last night, after a decent day at work, I remembered that I had a game, Headliner in one of my old itch.io bundles that I wanted to try. I'd played and enjoyed the sequel on Switch, so this was actually one of the games that drove me to pick up a cheapo Windows PC that could run indie and retro games. I got the game downloaded, started it up, and then could not get the language set to English from the traditional Chinese default, even though I found it in the options. Well, I'll give it another try today!

I ended up playing King of Fighters XV for a very few minutes and got destroyed playing the boss challenge. I picked a team that didn't play to my strengths and was out of practice to boot, so it was not a shock that I got destroyed. It was still fun, though.
