The Gaming Diary: Chapter 3

I am playing Injustice 2 on the PC.

And probably cheating at it.

If by cheating you mean using the in-game AI loadout to do the Multiverse fights for me you are correct.

You are incorrect in calling it cheating though.

Yes, and cheating.

Yes, and cheating. 

So a feature in the game you consider cheating?

Do you use jump in Super Mario Bros you cheater?

Subnautica PC - making an effort to finish it

Is it any good?

A bit delayed in replying - but yeah it's an incredible game, it's really impressive how its an open world while having a clean narrative.  Also it has a bit of a metrovania vibe, as your able to explore more of the world as your gather tech and build new equipment.

After only 8 or so years, I finally managed to catch the Power Base Mini FM in stock at Stone Age Gamer.  I was testing out its snazzy FM sound with Rastan.  Rastan is fun and looks great, but it feels primitive compared to most NES hack and slashers.  I'll be returning to it, though, as it has its charms.

Yeah, SMS Rastan is a neat game, though fairly tough like the arcade original. I do like that the regions that didn't get the FM hardware still have the FM sound embedded in the ROM of each game, so you can still take advantage of that feature.

Still grinding in Final Fantasy NES. I've reached Level 32 and have maxed out my gold at 999,999.

Now if only Rastan was fully compatible with Genesis controllers... The SMS controller's weird d-pad is doing me no favors.

I remember learning that non-JP region SMS games and trying to track down a Japanese Master System, just to hear this locked away sound.  Let's just say I'm glad I have the Power Base Mini FM, instead, even if it took a long while.

Playing Tanglewood and The Messenger.

Still grinding away at this. I've reached Level 34 and have almost maxed out purchases to get my gold down. Has anyone else seen Final Fantasy NES get glitchy after you save with gold maxed out and restart the game? The battle menu freaks out and gets real fast and the enemies run away within seconds of selecting your battle actions. All the menus are extremely fast and you don't have to push a button and wait for a few seconds. It's instantaneous and makes the game a mess to play.

Dungeons of Hinterberg (PC) - only an hour really liking it (zelda style ARPG)
Balatro (PC) - roguelike deckbuilder poker

Beat Tanglewood and Hello Neighbor 2.  Still working on The Messenger.

I played Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 on a PAL Xbox 360 last night and some Age of Empires 2.

I take it all of the Xbox systems are region locked?

The xbox 360 is. Going forward they are not. Some xbox 360 imports will play on a NTSC box.

I have 2 PAL 360's and 2 NTSC-J 360's.
