🎮 Because I know you were on tenterhooks waiting to hear what Dreamlight Valley Belle’s book preservation advice was: she gave me a tube of super glue.

🎮 My character in Disney Dreamlight Valley: Belle likes reading, so surely she can repair this damaged rare book!
Me, a librarian, in real life: No. No no no. Enjoying reading does not automatically confer preservation expertise.

🎮 Had a breakthrough in Blue Prince and I’m so excited about it it’s hard to sleep.

🎮 Playing the first Final Fantasy pixel remaster and it makes me so happy. The music especially. I have played this video game more than any other. It’s very soothing.

🎮 Downloading the Final Fantasy I - VI pixel remasters. Very excited!

I played Spyro the Dragon (Reignited Trilogy version) and had fun but 3D games mostly give me motion sickness so now I feel gross. Uninstalled and will try Kirby Super Star tomorrow. 🎮

🎮 Finished The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom last night. Super fun! I love puzzles, I love getting to be Zelda without her having to be disguised, and I love that the world is still making new games I can play now that 3D games seem to give me motion sickness.

🎮 I got Metroid: Samus Returns. I’m really enjoying it. I know there will be parts that are super difficult, but I am happy to use walkthroughs or whatever. I’m also finding that I don’t mind having to repeatedly try a fight in this game as much as I sometimes do, so that’s nice.

🎮 Finished Metroid: Zero Mission.

This is a remake of the original NES Metroid with a lengthy epilogue. I mostly enjoy Metroidvanias for the exploration.

I think my thumbs need a rest after this. It might be time to play an RPG or puzzle game. But eventually, I’ll move on to Super Metroid.

🎮 Played Assemble with Care.

I’m really feeling wholesome games lately, especially those with a warm pastel color palette and soothing music. In this game, you fix people’s stuff and inspire them to fix their relationships.

On sale on Steam for $3.19 through June 11, iOS & Android for $3.99.
