What Video Game Did I Play Yesterday?

Sunseed Island (Switch)

November 6th, 2025

Last night, I wasn't very focused on anything, so I played Sunseed Island for a bit before bed. I'm getting into the swing of the gameplay loop, and I don't feel like I can do much in an in-game day! It does let me fish infinitely, but I don't actually like the fishing in this, so that's not much of a plus. My cat's stamina keeps going up, though, so I think this is something that'll get better as I go. For now, I just want to be able to tend to my crops and cut down trees within the same game day.

Last night, I used Switch Online to play the N64 version of Mario Golf with one of my friends. I was surprised by how rough the lag was in spots, even on the Switch 2, but Mario Golf is wonderful and it was an extremely close, fun game. It was easy to get the game running, too. The button presses here are just exact enough that the lag really did sting, and I say that as the game's eventual winner. It would have been nice if it had worked at least a tiny bit better!

I played a few minutes of Sunseed Island before bed, too, watering plants and relaxing. It was nice!

I had some nice things happen with my job, so I got a Switch 2 tonight. I want to be responsible and organized about starting and finishing games on it, but it will be really difficult. I'll see how it goes.

Last night, I was super tired, so I only did low energy gaming. I started Incremental Epic Hero on Steam, which feels like it'll be a pleasant, low key idle game that'll take hundreds of hours to clear. I'm just going to let it run while I do other stuff and see if I can get all of the achievements.

I tried Aquapark.io, too, which I'm not sure if I'll play again. This was a cheap little stick figure game on Switch, about racing down waterslides, but the amazing sense of speed kind of made me nauseous. It's interesting, but maybe not worth it for me.

Right before bed, I played a little of Sunseed Island, too. Even though I only played a few minutes, I had a nice time and felt like I made ok progress. It was good!

My internet outage has not been so bad, but I'm still hoping it'll end tomorrow morning! If not, that's okay, but working alone in my job's giant office has been unexpectedly weird! No Youtube is fine, but motion activated lights flicking off all around me is not.

In terms of games, I tried a Switch farming game called Sunseed Island yesterday. It's very simple and cute, but the fishing is surprisingly difficult and reflex-based! I'm not sure what to make of it yet.

I also did some fairly bad runs in Deathsmiles and Deathsmiles II, but I was talking to people in a loud room while playing. Sometimes it's totally fine when I don't do my best.
