What Video Game Did I Play Yesterday?

Super Mario Bros 3 (Nintendo Switch Online)

July 30th, 2025

I dozed off when I should have been posting, so this will be a short post tonight. Going to Wal-Mart for groceries was too much for my delicate heart, but my slow cooked pork and veggie stew tomorrow will be worth it.

I played a couple more levels of Super Mario Bros 3 yesterday in the name of trying to make progress at something. It was 10 minutes well spent.

I also played two runs in Vampire Survivors, which was okay. I got a couple unlocks cleared, which is always nice.

I kind of treated yesterday like a fluff day, playing lots of games and going to the movies. I kept going with Lego Indiana Jones, which ruled because I went back to the Raiders of the Lost Ark stages and made Lego Marion chuck glass bottles at people. It's immensely satisfying to break glass on a Nazi's head in such a cutesy little game, and I had a great time with this level.

I need to watch Last Crusade, the only movie in the series I haven't seen, before I get to that set of levels in this, so I'm just going to be in Raiders of the Lost Ark and Temple of Doom for now. I know this part of my planning is just super important to everyone reading, so I'm just passing that info on.

I've been feeling inspired by my time with Lego Indiana Jones to do more level based games, so I started Super Mario Bros 3 yesterday. I'd maybe only played the Super Mario All-Stars version of this in the past, and when I was a little kid at that. It's very fun, though! The jump felt a little slippery at first, but I got used to it fast and made it to the second world last night. My progress will be slower during the work week, but I'm really looking forward to playing this more!

I want a shmup in the mix, too, so I played Akai Katana Shin for a bit last night. This is a cool game, but it is not my vibe right now.
