What Video Game Did I Play Yesterday?

PriPara: All Idol Perfect Stage (Switch)

November 28th, 2022

I'm making a super fast post before work today, with my fingers crossed for a decent start to the week.

I started Sonic Frontiers last night. When it came out, I decided to wait until it was 30 or so dollars to pick it up, not expecting that would happen within the month. I'm not sure what I think about it yet, though, since I only played for an hour or so.

While the game and updates installed on Sonic Frontiers, I played PriPara: All Idol Perfect Stage for a few minutes, too. It's convenient to just have this in my Switch right now.

Yesterday was a decent day again, but I still wasn't in a very game-heavy mood, which is fine. Even playing something for just a few minutes is enough to calm down a lot of overthinking and nervousness, even if I did only mess with games I've already finished.

I played PriPara: All Idol Perfect Stage for a few minutes to take some reference screenshots of the idol team I made in game, so I changed their outfits, played a couple of songs, and went back to crafts. This will almost definitely happen again today.

Before bed, I played with the avatar creator in Sonic Forces for a few minutes, too. I want a pair of white boots for one of my characters, but having already gotten the "500 character parts" trophy, I do concede that they may not even be in the game. Still, I have this game practically memorized, so I got another set of character parts unlocked and turned it off.

Yesterday, I got off work without hassle ahead of a three-day weekend, putting me in a good mood to start playing games late and then stay up much longer than I should have.

First up, I wanted to play with the character creator in PriPara: All Idol Perfect Stage, a port of the PriPara arcade game and loading time simulator that, despite its inability to efficiently render a pair of pants, is a mainstay in my gaming library. I made my new idol unit, dressed them up, and then played some of the songs I like in it before popping the game back in the Ace Attorney Trilogy box. (I moved back to the US three years ago, I should really get on ordering some replacement Switch game cases.) It wasn't a long play session, nor did this fulfill any game completion goals, but who cares? It's shiny.

I kept going with music games after that, turning Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight back on. I got three social events unlocked last night, which I felt pretty good about, and had enough fun that I lost track of time playing. As I near the end of this game, I'm glad I have two more games in the series waiting in the wings for me.

Since I hit a point where I beat a song, looked at the time, and thought, "wow, it's later than I thought, I should go to bed," I naturally picked up my DS for a few minutes of My Sims. I am starting to sincerely doubt that there is a lot to this game, but I'm also not sure I care. Despite my disappointment that I likely will not be able to make a bacon couch like I could on the Wii, it is pleasant.
