What Video Game Did I Play Yesterday?

Zaccaria Pinball (Switch)

October 22nd, 2024

I couldn't get it together this morning, so my post today is really late! I did office work, had dinner with family, and then spent 40 minutes browsing a Humble Bundle of Disney cookbooks like a sophisticated adult, and am finally here. Luckily for me, I don't have a ton to write about tonight. I mostly played digital pinball last night, and finished up the achievements for the retro Farfalla table in Zaccaria Pinball. It was fun, and satisfying to see my high scores fall into place as I figured out how to play well!

After that, though, I tried a much lower scoring retro table, Time Traveler, that I think I'll struggle a bit with from last night's attempts. That's not a bad thing, but it feels super easy to not even hit 1,000 points, let alone 20,000.

I kept Merge Pixel running as I tried to get some stuff done last night, too. I made decent progress dragging and dropping this game's little guys, moving ever further away from the halfway point and closer to the end.

Last night, I did some stockpiling and exploration in Metro Quester, clearing the boss I was having trouble with and running into some issues with the next, possibly optional one. I'm pretty steadily able to beat the random battle monsters that gave me issues my last play session, though, so levelling up my party and their weapons does help. This is maybe just a matter of patience.

I tried another pinball table launcher last night, too, going with Zaccaria Pinball on Switch. It had a deal where you could get 40 "retro" tables, which seem very simplified, for 2 dollars, so I picked that up and proceeded to waste tons of time on one called Farfalla. These tables aren't super exciting, but they actually seem like they could be great for before-bed gaming. I'll see how it goes!
