Played Where In the World Is Carmen Sandiego? via the Internet Archive with M. this morning & explained that Moscow is no longer the capital of the USSR bc the USSR is not a thing. Get the World Almanac from the Internet Archive if you’re going to play. 🎮

🎮 Currently playing Hades on Nintendo Switch.

Been coveting this for a while, so when W. suggested getting it today, I squeed. Love the art & vibe so far. Button mashing & playing in God Mode.

🎮 I finished playing Final Fantasy VII Remake yesterday. I had fun with the game and I adore Tifa, Aerith, and Jessie, more than I did when I originally played Final Fantasy VII about 20 years ago. Marlene is the best part because she looks kind of like my kid. FFVII is in a weird spot for me because it was the first console game I really played, and I played it at a time when I really needed it, emotionally. I’ve tried replays in the past but never made it through. My understanding of the plot has always been… fragmented? And wasn’t made better by watching Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. I deliberately halted a replay before going into the remake so I wouldn’t be constantly comparing them, and I’m happy with that decision. Anyway, I was confused by the ending but didn’t dislike it, and once I talked with W. about it, I found that I actually wished they’d gone bigger in the same direction. I’m now doing a playthrough of the original, and after that I may dig into some of the Final Fantasy VII Compilation titles before going back and doing a plus game replay of FFVIIR.

I have bangs for the first time in 30 years and it’s Tifa’s fault. 🎮

🎮 I think Tifa is my fave now? I always liked her, but now I like her best?

🎮 It’s happening.
