Post yer shit, bishes.

This is what I bought myself because I am a bitchy reclusive hermit that keeps people at arms length so I don't really get presents. Also I hate this holiday but simultaneously love the dopamine rush of new toys, so, you know. #thedualities

Dad of War, a OnePlus 6T, and 3 pairs of Stance butter blend socks. Dog for scale. Not pictured: tickets to the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra performing Beethoven's 9th in April for a friend and I. Also not pictured: a book a friend got me, some money, and a Steam gift card that I'll use to mostly pay for RE2.

BORK YOU PLAY TOO MANY GAMEZ

I kinda want to get that Genesis classics for my Switch- lazy late night rpgs in bed on the Switch is the best. But I have Tales of Vesperia coming in a couple weeks and still have to finish I Am Setsuna and Lost Sphear before then, so.

BORK YOU PLAY TOO MANY GAMEZ

Still have a couple more games coming this week including GOTY Senran Kagura Peach Ball + Reflexions LE and Battle Princess Madelyn for Switch.
:stahp


Some of that stuff is just for le collection and will stay sealed in the hopes I can sell it off later for a profit.  I got lucky on some of those limited game production runs- one game I paid like $30 for, Gryphon Knight Epic, now sells for $300+.  :o

I kinda want to get that Genesis classics for my Switch- lazy late night rpgs in bed on the Switch is the best. But I have Tales of Vesperia coming in a couple weeks and still have to finish I Am Setsuna and Lost Sphear before then, so.

It's not too bad apart from the long-ish initial load time when you start it up.  I didn't play it until like a week after release and it got patched once or twice before I tried it- apparently it launched with some issues but the patch seems to have taken care of it.  If you're gonna get anything, try Monster Boy.  It's really good!

Me and my bro decided to arrange Christmas dinner this year so my parents don't have to.
Yesterday we decided to get some presents as well but two of them won't make it for the holidays.

The presents are as follows:
Mom: Rituals shower stuff gift pack
Dad: Retro style record player that also doubles as a radio
Me: Fire Emblem Warriors Limited Edition
Bro: 2 PS4 games

The ones that didn't make it:
The new Zelda BOTW book
A book about game development for my bro

Anyhow it feels nice to have some presents sitting under the tree. Hopefully my mom won't be too depressed or ill tommorow.

Spider-Man (PS4)

New shoes
A really cool Minoh Brewery tenugui (cloth print)  that my wife bought while we were in Japan last month
Check for $15,000 from my grandma's estate. That was nice.

My daughter got a ton of Harry Potter Legos and Pretty Cure stuff we bought for her in Japan. She's in heaven.

Got a Roku and some money. Roku is actually way better than I ever expected. Really slick UI and has great wireless reception on my projector setup in the living room. Installed Plex as well so can stream video files from the computer onto it. Good stuff. Also got a book and some wine.

Bought a bunch of games for myself as a present for myself  :lol
Got:

AC Origins $20
Samurai Showdown V Special PS4 $6
Hellblade $15 (my friend's been bugging me to play this for a year, so might as well)
Cuphead $15
Fist of the North Star Yakuza $20
And bought another month of Xbox Game Pass for $1 lol will play Forza Horizon 4 some more with it.

And probably gonna pull the trigger and just buy Tetris Effect & Monster Boy for full price $40/each since everyone is raving about them and it's xmas so whatever. I don't understand how Tetris can be worth $40 when it's just fucking Tetris, but I like Mizuguchi so I'll give it a shot.

This went better than expected. My parents even got some gift cards for everyone. Although they never expected to get the presents we got for them  :rejoice

I managed to snag Tetris Effect when it was $20 at Amazon earlier in the week. IT IS AMAZING.

I didn't know the Psikyo collections were a thing.  Now I bought them!  Thanks!

There may be a volume 3 coming out next year, too!  Play-Asia is starting to stock a lot of physical releases that I didn't know about either, including games developed in 'Murica like recent Ghouls N' Ghosts tribute game Battle Princess Madelyn.

Got a Roku and some money. Roku is actually way better than I ever expected. Really slick UI and has great wireless reception on my projector setup in the living room. Installed Plex as well so can stream video files from the computer onto it.

I picked up a couple of Roku Expresses on sale cheap a year or so back after getting tired of having performance problems with an Apple TV.  Wished I'd done it sooner- Roku is amazing.  I also have a Roku built into one of my TVs and it works equally as well, unlike the Samsung in our bedroom- their "Smart TV" interface and apps are slow and shitty as hell.  But that's what the other Express was for!

And probably gonna pull the trigger and just buy Tetris Effect & Monster Boy for full price $40/each since everyone is raving about them and it's xmas so whatever. I don't understand how Tetris can be worth $40 when it's just fucking Tetris, but I like Mizuguchi so I'll give it a shot.

Man, fuck those other games- those are the best two!  :lol  You missed a few chances to get Tetris Effect for $20 physical, although TBH it's the kind of game I'd rather have digitally so I can be lazy and boot it up whenever.  Hoping they make a PC version too.  Tetris Effect plays like...well, Tetris, and gameplay-wise it's what you'd expect.  What makes it stand out are the Mizuguchi-style HOLY FUCK I AM TRIPPING BALLS RIGHT NOW visuals and audio.  It's insane in a good way.  Note that it's single player only though. 

I've only played a little bit of Monster Boy, but it's super, super solid and I can see why it keeps making all these GOTY lists.  It's really good, but at the same time, I can see it going on sale pretty quickly.  Worth the full $40 easily,  however.

Tetris Effect is almost distracting because the music is so fucking good and I’m always waiting for Mizuguchi to melt my brain and boot up some unknown Rez level.

Yeah I probably would've bought the physical at $20 but I'll probably play it more often that I have it digital at $40. Especially since it's VR. I never touch any VR game that's on a disc because it's just easier to pop the VR headset on and play some Astrobot and Beat Saber and whatever VR, so digital probably worked out better.

Got Monster Boy physical since if it's really good will lend it around to friends who have a Switch.

I usually don't ask for things for Christmas (even though everybody always seems to ask every year), but I noticed my dad has like seven external hard drives now. And he said like he gets em off Target/Walmart clearance and stuff. :lol

So I said if he saw a good cheap one I could use it, dunno if it actually was a clearance deal but got me a 4TB one. :whoo

After backing up nearly ever piece of regular and totally non-pirated data (musak, old game magazines, comics, half of the entire PS1 and Saturn libraries, the entire N64 library, etc.) I had on my other drives and for the first time really seeing how fast USB 3.0 actually is, I have 2.7 TB left. I feel like I should fill it with porn or something just out of principle. Maybe the rest of the PS1 and Saturn libraries. (So I guess ideally any PS1 and Saturn porn games.)

How old is she? I been thinking of doing those with my daughter but not sure if she’s old enough. She’s 7, so it might be about right now.
