Finished Sparkle 2, it’s a throw-a-ball-to-match-3 kind of puzzle. Very similar to older Zuma game, if someone here remembers that. This was free on PS+ a while back and I have been playing since early 2025. It has around 90 or so levels and I’ll usually play 2-3 here and there. Finally reached the end after about a year and half.

Fun game, if you like this kind of action puzzle games, this was an enjoyable experience.


Most of the time this weekend was spent on Lords of the Fallen (2014). There was objective, but it didn’t say how to get there, so was a bit lost, but beat another another boss and reached the next one, so hopefully I am going in the right direction. This game is much easier than usual soulslikes, I cleared two areas without dying even once, even beat a boss without dying, that never happens for me.

There’s a trophy for each boss, and from that it seems I only have 2 or 3 bosses left. Shouldn’t be too long. Maybe 1 or 2 weekends more. Want to finish this before Yoshi’s release.


Just started the second chapter of Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc Anniversary Edition. Things were fine for a little bit, but something seems to be up now, going to see if we can figure it out…


Played a bit more of Pokémon Pokopia nothing major here.


What about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?

    Went back and played a bit of Star Fox 64 after seeing the announcement of the re-re-remake. It’s fun, but I think only if I play it like I did when I was a kid, by completely blowing off my allies and doing my own thing. Having to babysit my teammates while dealing with my own problems, as I think is intended, is significantly less fun.

        Not sure. I’ll probably wait for a review. The character models are really off-putting. They remind me of the book The Island of Doctor Moreau. It may be one of the first works to feature physically anthropomorphic animals, as opposed to regular animals with human behavior, and they’re written to be somewhere between terrifying and uncanny.

          Interesting. As someone who hasn’t played any previous Starfox game (other than Super Smash Bros. Ultimate), I actually liked the character model. You aren’t alone in this though, I have seen many people say similar things about the character design, so maybe I am the one in the minority.
