What Video Game Did I Play Yesterday?

Woody Woodpecker Racing (Miyoo Mini+)

August 5th, 2025

Last night, as I turned on my Miyoo Mini+ and decided to try the Game Boy Color port of Woody Woodpecker Racing, I said to myself, "If I cannot play as Chilly Willy, I am going to jump off a cliff." Chilly Willy, upsettingly, is an unlockable character, but I don't even know where any cliffs are and didn't have shoes on to go find one at that point. Instead, I played the game for a few minutes and vibed with it a lot more than I expected to. I'm not very used to isometric racers, and I lost every race I tried. It was easy to understand where I'd gone wrong, though, and it gave me that good "ah, I'm sure I'll get it if I can just tighten a turn here, and shave off a second here," feeling. Maybe I can't race as an excellent little penguin yet, but I will not mind getting to that point too much.

I also did a couple of puzzles in Picross S: Genesis & Master System. It was fine!
