What Video Game Did I Play Yesterday?

Super Mario World (Super Famicom Classic)

January 14th, 2024

The weather has not really improved in my location, so I played games a lot yesterday. My biggest game yesterday was Super Mario World, which I played bundled up in fleece blankets on my living room floor after hooking up my Super Famicom Classic. I started playing it to keep my hands busy while chatting with a friend, since I've played the first bit of the game a thousand times. Shockingly, though, I am better at video games than I was at age 6, so I got to the third world's castle, which I've never cleared before, and then went back to the first world to scum 50 lives. I'd forgotten how fun this game was.

Since it's super cold outside, I had to give up on Super Mario World before I was tired enough to sleep, since my nose was cold and it was irritating. From there, I kept going with About An Elf, and feel like I might be getting close to the end. That's fine, since I don't know that this game could sustain itself for a ton longer. I keep losing battles because I click on the yellow attack when the pre-battle hint shows me light, when the yellow one is for electric magic, but that is truly my own fault. Playing games after midnight has a certain risk level.

Despite my temptation not to wear myself out, I also buckled down and played Fitness Circuit again. It was still very difficult, but I feel like I can improve. Plus, I went to the outfit change menu and realized I could pick which legally distinct from Evangelion outfit I wanted on my trainer. I went with the not-at-all Kaworu set yesterday, because blue is nice and the pink not-at-all-Mari one had some weird design stuff going on in the boob area, but my amusement level that the game lets me do something with such a high dork-fluff-level right off the bat is very high.

I'm off to make a frozen pizza for the excuse to turn my oven on, and for anyone else caught in nasty weather, stay warm, or cool, depending on your location, and safe!
