Me: You got me the wrong beer

Annie: That's the one you asked for.

Me: I said in the text, Not This one.

Annie: reads my text to her out loud...

I had failed to include "NOT" in my text

Me: read what I mean and not what wrote 

This past two weeks I have been playing a few games, again, on the Nintendo Switch. The NS has become my gaming platform of choice, simply because it’s handheld and I can play under almost any situation, even when putting Luna to sleep.

Fire Emblem Warriors

I’m still playing the crap out off this game. I even purchased all three DLCs which no only add more characters to the rooster but more story gameplay. I have a few characters on level over a hundred. Yes, I am overpowered, yes, I am GOD.

Within the Blade

Within the Blade is an epic game in stealth, platforming, and RPG genres, in which the player takes on the role of a Ninja. Explore the scenic world of feudal Japan, using your stealth to complete missions.

This game is pretty wonderful, I’ll school pixel art, lots of blood, and you’re a ninja fighting demons. It has the elements of a platformer with RPG ones, and is like 10.99 USDs. It is worth both your time and monies.

SAMURAI WARRIORS 5

A new SAMURAI WARRIORS begins

After a 7-year wait, a new installment in the tactical action series “SAMURAI WARRIORS” is finally here!

Alright, if you know me, you should know I am a sucker for Musou games. I mean, Fire Emblem Warriors is a Musou game. I was watching a YouTube video for SW, and the guy was saying that it was almost impossible that anyone had played all the Dynasty Warriors or Samurai Warriors games. Pfft, little does he know!

I have been waiting for a Samurai Warriors game for a long time, and It’s finally here. As far as the gameplay goes, there’s not much new here. The characters, or at least most of them, have been redesigned compared to the previous games. The art, it’s so outstanding. It is probably my favorite thing, is the art style.

I can see myself putting over a hundred hours on this game.

Streets of Rage 4

Currently, my favorite beat ‘em up and of all times. This game has been out for a while, but they have recently released its Mr. X Nightmare DLC. Which adds 4 more playable characters and more moves. I love having a good excuse to play a fantastic game. If you haven’t played SoR4, you are missing out.

Gala: Creativity Welcomed by Brian Hariprashad

Remember when Instagram used to be about photos and not ads? When the discovery section of it was actual photos of people? Remember when Instagram used to be fun to use and browse?

That’s Gala. Or at least it does feel like it. The application is far from perfect, but it is nice to use, and I am happy that it is around.

This week has felt like it had already 8 days and is not even past today’s (Friday) midday. Working from home is one thing, but working from home, with the 2 girls and a busy workload with little fires everywhere to put out, it’s another thing entirely.

This means, I haven’t been able to catch-up with my favorite podcasts, or listen to music. I mean, I play music, in the background, when I can, but I’m not listening. It is all, again, putting fires out and being a dad, or at least trying, el-oh-el!

I am spent, more mentally than physically. I have lost my coolness a bit and get irritated easily.

The only fun activity I have been able to kind of squeeze in is playing Samurai Warriors 5 on the Switch. It actually helps that it is pretty much a jack and slash game and pretty mindless.

Need a break, and a beer.
