What Video Game Did I Play Yesterday?

Sephirothic Stories (Switch)

June 2nd, 2025

I'm late posting today just because I'm feeling lazy. Since I'm getting this post done on time anyway, I think that's okay.

I played another half hour or so of Sephirothic Stories last night, pushing the story a little further while completely destroying the enemies that had given me trouble the night before. It's always satisfying when levelling up worked, and I was able to take out a reasonably tough boss, too.

I also played quite a few rounds of Meteora's Mystic Merge, as it was Sunday and I didn't have any reason to hurry through the day. It was repetitive, but soothing, and helped me out of a minor, inexplicable panic.

I'm really sleepy today, but it's Sunday, so that's fine. I had a short tabletop RPG session with friends to get started on a new game, Draw Steel. It seems like it could be fun, and since we're just doing a test session, it's low stress, too.

As far as yesterday goes, I wanted to play a Suika Game-ish thing on my Legion Go, so I landed on Meteora's Mystic Merge. It's based on V-Tubers, which I don't know so much about, but the game itself is 100% what I wanted! It's relaxing, cute, and totally infuriating. Plus, it was free. I might try to get all 46 achievements in this.

I kept going in Sephirothic Stories stories, too, which I'm still enjoying. It's extremely low key, and a cute little fairy made me run through a hallway of swinging blades during last night's play sessions. I died and had to backtrack to level grind, so I tried some sidequests.

Last, but not least, I did another chunk of my Jujutsu Kaisen puzzle. I don't want to sit on the floor tonight, though, so I probably won't work on it tonight.

I kept getting distracted from posting today, by everything from reading manga to documentaries about the 1904 World's Fair, so this is a very late post. Luckily for me, it will also be a short one! I kept playing Sephirothic Stories last night, not at all dissuaded from my thought that it's kind of charming by getting a tiny fairy party member. I'm quite happy to play a game that's content to show me a lot of cute stuff while I level grind.

I continued my Jujutsu Kaisen puzzle, too, getting the logo on the board! This was big progress, and, yet again, I'm going to follow this post with more puzzle time. It's really exciting stuff.

It's Friday night, and I'm very sleepy! I am somewhat relieved that I didn't do too much last night. I went back to work on my 1000 piece Jujutsu Kaisen puzzle, getting the edge nearly completed. I'm going to go back to this after this post is done. It's satisfying!

I played a little more of Sephirothic Stories, too, delighted by the weird little monsters I'm fighting. The cactus king was my favorite one last night, but there were some weird googly eyed onions and off-brand storybook mushrooms, too. It's a very by-the-numbers RPG so far, which I did expect, but I like how bright and weird this world is.

I made too many jokes to friends and family about making a complete ranking of all JRPGs a few weeks ago when IGN made a list, so now I feel slightly honor-bound to at least play a few of the RPGs I have so I can yell that some of them are better than some of the others. Last night, I started in on this by playing 15 minutes of Sephirothic Stories, a Kemco RPG I picked up for a few dollars on the Switch eShop. It is cute, but since I wasn't feeling great last night, I didn't think about it a whole lot harder than that.

I'm glad I only had one game to post about today, because I have a super-basic kielbasa and bell pepper stew on the stove and it smells really excellent. Low effort home cooking with some vegetables is going to be better for my guts in the long run than giving up and going to Taco Bell, so I am glad I got up the energy to make something.
