What Video Game Did I Play Yesterday?

Vampire Survivors (XBox Series S)

July 14th, 2023

This is not a great morning. I'm trying to eat well for breakfast, since I have a long meeting scheduled right at my lunch break, but everything just keeps going wrong in minor, irritating ways.

There's no screenshots today, due to some technical difficulties and frustrations, but I started playing a new mobile game, Kemono Friends Kingdom last night. It seemed a little basic, but cute, though I might have to quit due to my phone being upset that I dare play a game from this decade on it. I watched the anime with my friends when I lived overseas, so it would be nice if it worked out, but if it doesn't, it doesn't.

I also played Vampire Survivors for a few minutes, which I'll probably drop and go back to PowerWash Simulator as an exhaustion game. The vibes just aren't lining up right for me.

I just remembered I need to be logged on for work a few minutes early today on top of everything, so short, bad post today. Tomorrow will be better.

Today I got out of bed wanting to feel more positive, but then instantly got a text that my apartment building was shutting off my water for the day. I went over to Starbucks and used my "fancy treats" balance with them to get a much more extravagant than normal morning coffee, though, and am hoping I can brute force things into balancing out a bit.

Last night, I played Vampire Survivors for a while again, and am still not sure if I like it or not. The constant unlocks and levelling are nice, but I feel like the game itself is maybe mildly tedious. That's fine for playing super late at night, and the pixel art is so nifty, but I don't know if I share a lot of the enthusiasm about it.

I kept chipping away at the event in Disney Tsum Tsum for a while, too, truly kicking some butt last night. I'm trying to complete a character set for the lower gacha while I'm earning a lot of coins, as a point boost, but even with even odds, being down to the last two characters is slightly frustrating. It'll pay off for my scores in the long run, though, so I don't mind that much.

Last night, I played Vampire Survivors for maybe 45 minutes or so, and I didn't really have a lot of fun along the way. I think that's more of a mood issue than anything, though, so I'm not counting the game out just yet. I feel kind of down, so that's it for today's post! There's probably not going to be much time for games tonight, but I'll have at least a tiny update tomorrow morning.

I'm really sleepy this morning, but doing my best to be cheery. Last night, I wanted to play something new when I was pretty tired, so I tried Vampire Survivors on Game Pass. I love levelling up, so I played this a bit longer than I meant to and'll probably try again soon.

I did ten quick rounds of Disney Tsum Tsum, too, making sure to keep my login bonuses going while continuing to chip away at the current in-game event.
