I cheated. Infinite health. And save states. No way I have the skill to beat that legit.
Or the patience.

I've actually been going through my NES collection and cheating on all of them. Batman, Blaster Master, and this. I don't care I'm cheating, I got nothing to prove. But it is kinda depressing to be so bad at these games lol.

I can't believe a game as obscure as Alisia Dragoon is now in the handsa so many people thanks to the Genesis Mini. It's pretty crazy.

If only some other Game Arts can get rereleased now. I'm lookin' at you, Lunar 2.

Happy ring day

Here's to another year, my friend! And another after that, and so on and on and on~

Saaaaame. You probably know all about my year so far, but I definitely have plenty of that, and then some with some really acute anxiety attacks. I haven't even felt like gaming that much recently.

At least I have Backloggery and a few smaller Discords to fall back to.

As my 10th Backloggiversary arrives, I'd be lying if I said the last 5 years have been all that great for my mental health. Midlife crisis, dwelling on what could've been instead of what could be, etc... it's so easy to take stuff for granted in this modern age, but I'd like to try and make life less about stuff and more about living outside of past regrets.

There's plenty to be thankful for besides the things I obsess over that my mind assumes I need to have acquired or accomplished in order to be considered a decent person, not the least of which is you lot here at the Backloggery for always making me feel welcome despite my sub-par social skills. As well as my relatives who keep on living the positive life no matter what hand life deals them: I'd feel terrible if I just gave up now and didn't let a bit of that inspirado rub off on me.

Everyone cannot be everything or please everybody, but I'd like to think that everyone can still be themselves and that this can be the year I turn things around in my life, even if just a little.
Thanks again for your support these past 10 years, and here's to at least another 10

Happy ringamajig like 2 weeks in advance because I will 100% forget two weeks from now.

Hey thanks!

I've actually never tried when it comes to installing mods, and I was curious if it affects the base game at all? I still have all of my Diablo II: Lord of Destruction accounts active after all these years, and I wouldn't want to not be able to login to old school Battle.net to keep them alive. Do you have any idea if it's going to stop me from being able to do that? Is it accessed through the Diablo II shortcut, or does it have it's own?

I've been genuinely curious about Median XL, would you mind telling me your thoughts on it?

Dragon Quest XI has a subtitle, you know! I had to remind Lordy, now there's just you who needs to fix it!

Unlocking the 3rd game mode on Curse of the Moon requires getting the "other" solo ending.

Oh yes. There are a surprisingly high number of ways you can approach the start of the game before going to Elinee's castle.

For example, if you don't talk to Dyluck, Randi won't get caught by the goblins and the scene in Pandora with Primm plays out differently.

It's also possible to skip talking to Luka entirely and head straight to Gaia's Navel (though you risk not getting the Spear).
