Hello everyone. Sorry I didn't post this last week. I was overwhelmed by events and forgot. Anyway, I've been playing lots of balatro and Nightreign for the past 2 weeks. I hope everyone has had a relaxing weekend

Shockingly, I'm actually playing some games this week!

I finished Case of the Golden Idol and started on the DLC. Highly recommend to anyone who likes detective/logic puzzle games—just check out the demo now, and wait till it goes on sale again in a month or two (GOG has a better deal for the bundle with all the DLC). The pixel art is really charming, and it's so satisfying when you crack some of the tougher levels. Bit of advice: taking notes outside of the game will help you a lot when things get more complicated, and it can often be useful to refer to notes you took in earlier levels. Will definitely check out Return of the Obra Dinn when I'm done with the two DLCs.

Continuing with the detective theme, I also resumed my playthrough the first Gyakuten Saiban (Ace Attorney) game on DS in Japanese. I played through the intro case a while back, but since I've gotten back into studying Japanese again recently I wanted to take another crack at it. I'm pleasantly surprised at how much I'm understanding—sure, there's plenty of words I don't know, but I can usually figure things out from context. To be fair, I played through the first two or three cases in English even further back, so I'm operating with extra context. We'll see how I do when I get into uncharted territory.
