What Video Game Did I Play Yesterday?

W.A.N.D. Project (Switch)

May 4th, 2025

I've been pushing for max productivity today, trying to finish at least 3 tasks on my weekly to-do list every hour, so I am doing this post right before I go buy chicken strips and collapse. I have gotten a ton of cleaning done since last night, which is great, but I need to learn how to spread chores out better!

Yesterday, I mostly just zoned out, but I did have a really fantastic run in Vampire Survivors before bed. I cleared the library level, which was cool, and then cleared a short level where there were just a bunch of flowers everywhere. It made me feel powerful, and I might use that flower level to grind for some levelling currency.

I tried W.A.N.D. Project again, too, but it hasn't clicked with me yet. The runs are short, though, so I'm not going to totally give up on this.

I'm having trouble focusing on posting today, but am working rather steadily to make a tiny diamond painting of Marian from the NES version of Double Dragon. It's a game related project, so it's fair game! I used to get the supplies for these at Jo-Ann's, and, luckily, have a decent amount on hand right now. When I was thinking about the background for this, though, I got so frustrated that I can't just go to the store and take a look at the available gem colors. These are still available to order online from the company that makes them, so it's not like I'm cut out, but I'll miss being able to try to eyeball things in person. It sucks!

Oh, this is a games blog, though, right? Last night, I played King of Fighters: Sky Stage for a little bit, and was still struggling with it. I'm struggling a little less now, though, especially playing as Kyo. I don't love this game, as it's somehow both boring and overwhelming at once, but I'll keep chipping away at it from time to time.

I tried W.A.N.D. Project on Switch last night, too, a wave-based survivors-like with magical girl vibes. It hasn't clicked with me yet, but it has a needlessly complicated power up system that I kind of like. The challenge level is pleasantly frustrating, too.

I also chipped away at the unlockables in Candivity, which was fine. I merged many sweets.
