What Video Game Did I Play Yesterday?

Disney Speedstorm (XBox Series S)

March 2nd, 2026

Yesterday, my only gaming was a couple mindless, relaxing hours in Disney Speedstorm. I had no goals and no focus, but I made some characters who seem very nonviolent bomb each other off the track.

I played games quite a bit last night, but wasn't having a great time. I got an actual household going in Tiny Life, but I felt like I couldn't get anyone to do anything. Achievement hunting in this'll be a chore if I can't even get any of my tinies to drink a glass of water. At least one of my tinies is a chaotic party boy, though, so there's plenty of fun ahead.

Before bed, I felt kind of overwhelmed by all the stuff in front of me in Disney Speedstorm and just jumped into races at random. It did help me relax, but I felt so scattered as I played.

I am trying to clear some of the games I already have to save money right now, so last night, I tried Tiny Life, a pixel art life sim that I got in a bundle a couple of years ago. I only played for ten minutes or so, so I don't have much of an impression so far. It seems ok, though. I'd kind of like to get all of the achievements in this, but if I do, it won't be on the little file I started last night.

Later, before bed, I played a few races in Disney Speedstorm. I was excited to have unlocked Megara as a driver not due to any great fondness for Hercules, but because I have held tight to a McDonalds plate with her on it since I was in grade school. It's an amazingly long lived plate! I had a decent time playing, but playing as a character from my dish cupboard was definitely the most interesting part of the session.

Last night, despite last week's Tony Hawk connection failures making me think it wouldn't go well, I played the start of A Way Out with one of my friends from work. It's a co-op prison escape game, and it was really enjoyable! I was kind of a wandering dolt, but everything is well synced and orchestrated enough that even my dippiest moments didn't cause a ton of trouble. Our guys still aren't out of the prison, but I'm looking forward to playing more next week.

I played some more of Disney Speedstorm, too, during my lunch break and before bed. It was something nice and mindless to play before bed, and I unlocked a new racer I'm interested in trying tonight.

I didn't want to think at all yesterday, so I enjoyed some spacey driving with Disney Speedstorm. I didn't do well at all, but the game still chucked XP and prizes at me, which I appreciated. It made me want to play something non-gacha, though, which I have achieved and will have more about tomorrow. I don't hate that it does have free to play bits, but bouncing between events and online and offline just feels so unfocused.
