Tried the A500 again and noticed that the floppy cable connection to motherboard was backward; whoever was in there before me was not careful, but I'd already kinda figured that from the assortment of random screws and what appears to be Rust-Oleum on the shielding... Anyway, the drive still couldn't read disks, so GoTek it is; fun experiment nonetheless!
Grabbed a few things in the last Steam Sale:
- Caravan SandWitch
- Shades of Beyond Good & Evil, ReCore, and Psychonauts - albeit without any combat. Loved it.
- Choo-Choo Charles
- Better than it looks, and it looks good! I recommend reading-up on its development story, too.
- Mirror's Edge Catalyst
- Might as well.
- The Mummy Demastered
- Metroidal Slugvania? Seriously, a WayForward Metroidvania that's styled akin to Metal Slug - I like it, so far.
- No Man's Sky
- Dangerous... I do not have time for this. Spent way too long messing around before I even left the second planet. Yet to try it in VR.
- Pacific Drive
- Good deal, wanted to support them, haven't installed it yet.
- Super Grave Snatchers
- Reminds me of Brutal Legend, but on a CGA 286. Really good.
- Super Woden GP
- Honestly, looked better in the trailers.
DOOM 64 Unseen Evil was a nice surprise.
SEGA AGES: Phantasy Star and Virtua Racing went on-sale and they're both stellar.
Played through the free trial of Diablo IV - hit level 25 as I completed The Magpie and the Knight. It's good; lots of systems I'll never touch, but more Diablo is always nice. Will buy it eventually.
Performed a clean installation of Android 15 on my Pixel 7, and it's slick; too many prompts, but nothing like Windows 11 24H2.
Grabbed Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League for under $5 and it's almost good? Traversal's clever but feels janky; combos don't feel particularly satisfying to me; story feels like a bit of a retread after the 2016 and 2021 games in addition to Injustice 2. I dunno... It's fine, but I think I'm just gonna burn through the campaign solo like I did with Anthem and Redfall.
Finally 100%'d Alan Wake II and all of its DLC - The Final Draft, all of the achievements, etc... It's really good and I'm ready for more... Still don't like the combat :)
