Because&#8230; I just don&#8217;t care enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Resident Evil 3<\/strong> (PS4) &#8211; Fantastic remake. I never really got into the original RE3, but this one is just made for me. Yeah, it&#8217;s a little linear, and yeah, it&#8217;s a little more action-oriented, but those are things I like! At least, they make for less of a headache when you&#8217;re trying to route out your S-rank runs.  Anyway, my first run was far from S-rank, and I died a spectacular number of times because this game is ROUGH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pikmin 2<\/strong> (GC) &#8211; The debt is absolved, but Louie is lost! Will I finally rescue him for the first time ever? We just don&#8217;t know! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Resident Evil 3<\/strong> (PS4) &#8211; Second run was on assisted (easy) mode, because I just wanted to rack up some bonus points and get a good feel for the route. I actually ended up coming in just 5 minutes over the S-rank cutoff time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Resident Evil 3<\/strong> (PS4) &#8211; So then I played it (on assisted) again, and shaved 40 minutes off my time! Turns out you can completely ignore Jill&#8217;s visit to the hospital. All you lose is the magnum, but on the plus side, you get to avoid a bunch of stupid hunters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Resident Evil 3<\/strong> (PS4) &#8211; Back to standard mode to attempt the S-rank. It was a rough run, but I still managed to claim a 1:54. The difficulty gap between assisted and standard is staggering. There&#8217;s so much less ammo around and the monsters move <em>way<\/em> faster. I promise I&#8217;ll stop doing an entry for every replay after this month \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ring Fit Adventure<\/strong> (Switch) &#8211; I finally &#8211;<em>finally<\/em>&#8211; made it to the end! 23 worlds and 34-ish hours and gallons of sweat later, it&#8217;s over. Oh, but then there&#8217;s the hard mode NG+. I guess that&#8217;s good, because I need to keep exercising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Final Fantasy VII Remake<\/strong> (PS4) &#8211; Holy heck, another really excellent remake. There are tons of things that I like about it, and a couple things that make me look down and mutter &#8220;well, yeah, that&#8217;s not so great&#8230;&#8221; Far too many musings to fit in a single paragraph, at any rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Final Fantasy VII Remake<\/strong> (PS4) &#8211; Oh yeah, and then I played it all again, because apparently that&#8217;s what I do now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">~ Progress Notes ~<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Piczle Lines DX <\/strong>(Switch) &#8211; Hammering away at the millions of puzzles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance<\/strong> (3DS) &#8211; Three Musketeers&#8217; world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Secret of Mana<\/strong> (SNES) &#8211; At the Mana Fortress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Resident Evil 4<\/strong> (PS4) &#8211; On Chapter 4-2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Piczle Cross Adventures<\/strong> (Switch) &#8211; 100\/300 puzzles complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ocarina of Time Randomizer<\/strong> (Wii) &#8211; 2\/6 medallions<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pixel Puzzle Collection<\/strong> (iOS) &#8211; 165%<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>~ Game Over ~ Mega Man Zero 2 (GBA) &#8211; I played it again, this time using cyber elves to blow through the game like it weren&#8217;t nothing.
