What Video Game Did I Play Yesterday?

Samba de Amigo: Party Central (Switch)

July 8th, 2024

Today, I am trying to stay cheerful and optimistic that a good week is ahead.

Yesterday, I definitely spent the most game time on Honkai Star Rail, even if I played for a bit less than an hour. I liked seeing how retrofuturistic a lot of the interior design on the train itself is and went to a very story heavy ice planet for my next set of quests. In fact, I got caught up in some story events that made it hard to quit right when I wanted to, but that's just how JRPGs go. Even a gacha game can fall prey to the curse of cutscenes!

I tried the last of the gacha games I downloaded while getting my new tablet, too, The Tale of Food. I don't know a lot about Chinese folklore, so I'm interested in that part of the story in and of itself. It seems fine other than that, too, and like progressing without spending might not be too bad here. Now that I've started all three of the new-ish gatcha games I downloaded, my next goal is going to be getting to a spot where I can spend out my energy in one play session in all of them, rather than having it topped up with constant levelling bonuses.

I played Samba de Amigo: Party Central as my workout game again, too, and really did wear myself out again. The "story mode" missions are fun, but I played too long and really wore out my arms. I might do something with a more traditional workout structure tonight.

Yesterday, I relaxed and took it easy as soon as I could, which was great for my brain, but maybe not the best for blogging.

As far as playing a workout game goes, I tried Samba de Amigo: Party Central on Switch and felt like that fit the bill decently. I was feeling worn down before even starting, so three songs in arcade mode did me in, but I might start the story mode today. It was really fun, and there's no reason why a workout shouldn't be a good time!

As far as mobile games go, I played Assault Lily Last Bullet W for a few minutes before falling asleep. There's still too many events going on at once in this game, and it's a little ridiculous, but I'm starting to get a handle on the game systems and how I want to manage my party. It was an okay choice to zone out with.

Today, I'm so sleepy I can barely stand it, but I'm trying to take it easy again. I'd like to be productive, too, but it'll be fine if I'm not.
