    I'm curious about Luigi's Mansion 3 on the basis of only ever playing LM1 once waaaaaay back on Christmas Day 2001, but I 100%ed that game on the very first day because it was short.

    3 seems like a meatier game, but I do think I'd wait to see if it gets discounted some months down the road (also because it's wedged between Outer Worlds, Afterparty, and Pokemon).

    Dark moon is considerably longer and 3 seems to be following its lead in that regard

    I'd have thought it would be a no-brainer to throw the first Luigi's Mansion up on the digital store ahead of the release. Maybe timed so that people aren't mansion'd out when the new one drops, but still.

    I loved Luigi's Mansion 1 way back when, did not like Dark Moon, but I am looking forward to the third one since it seems like a return to form and also traditional controllers

    It's on 3DS so that is very unlikely

    Playing Astral Chain now. I would be playing on Casual as the default but I need to be playing on PT Normal in order to be ranked so I can unlock various achievements for Fashion Souls, which is really the true goal of any game with swappable gear. Still getting the hang of the controls and sometimes the Legion does not move how I want it to which makes things interesting when trying to do things like Chain Jump.

    Up to File 3 now, I'll play more tomorrow.

    Do you have the flick movement skill equipped on your Legion? I forget its name, but it makes the Legion charge in a direction when you hold L2 and flick the right stick. I found that it's way too sensitive on what it considers to be a flick, and often had my Legion going way the hell away from a platform when I'm chain jumping. I unequipped that and it solved all my movement problems.

    Haven't gotten far enough to unlock abilities on the Legion. Was mostly just trying to maneuver it onto the platforms when you learn how to chain jump. Kept pushing the stick to move it above the platform and it just wanted to circle it instead

    A quick tap of L2 will either send it straight ahead or call it back, useful for setting up jumps.

    Dark moon was meatier but also blander so I'm glad that it seems like 3 is keeping the increased length and depth while dialing up the charm and variety similar to the first one.

    also man that sounds like i'm talking about dicks.

Or I started replaying Link’s Awakening on GBC when the remake was announced and boy it’s no wonder they sold lights to clamp onto these things cause I can’t see a thing unless I sit under a desk lamp.

    I used to have one of these way back in the day. Worked pretty good too. Before that I remember the many evenings sitting under a lamp in the living room. The magnifier was a nice bonus too.

    Ring Fit Adventure is shockingly intense on the higher difficulty settings! I've been doing mostly weightlifting for a while so I was expecting the cardio to do me in a bit, which it did, but I was surprised at how much the silly tension ring does a solid job of forcing you to really work at it if it knows you're already pretty strong. Also legit works to make me want to keep playing with the magic of leveling up. I crapped out at the first boss fight and I want to try again tomorrow!

    Yeah, I really wanted to like the combat in Astral Chain, but there was so much shit going on that I never felt like I ever had as good a grasp on it than I had with, say, Bayonetta or Revengeance
