Turns out Hitman 2 has a level with an aquarium section and it's about all I could have asked for. Game's really cool, enjoy it a lot.

I did it, I finished FF1. I went Warrior/Monk/White Mage/Black Mage. Warrior is extremely balanced in that he deals massive damage and also literally cannot die, and Black Mage is a nuke. White Mage's heals are great, but kind of overkill, so I'd probably use Red Mage instead for extra physical and extra black magic.
I knew Monk was supposed to be the hardest hitter in the game, but I was getting passable to mediocre damage at best with the shitty nunchucks. Then I found out you're supposed to have the Monk fight barehanded to get that damage. I did not find this out until the final dungeon of the game, outside Garland's room. The twist with Garland's time loop is pretty cool for a 1987 JRPG, though I gotta wonder what his endgame was here. Get killed in the future so the fiends can send him to the past so he can send the fiends to the future so the fiends can send him to the past when he gets killed. I'm not really sure if he just really liked kidnapping the princess that one time prior to his death, or if this is all just Garland's Excellent Shitpost.

I too have decided to pick up Perfect Dark again in an attempt to right the wrong of having never finished the game on Perfect Agent. I got as far as three steps off the elevator on the ground floor of Datadyne before giving up and going back to Special Agent to practice. Once getting the hang of the control nuances again and murdering all the scientists on Investigation, I think what I need to do for Perfect Agent is run at everyone with the trigger held down on the CMP150 and to just run out of the room any time I miss. I refuse to play the game on emulator with mouse aiming because that's cheating.
I'm still playing Animal Crossing: The New One On the Switch on and off. Here's my dream address in case anyone wants to check out my sick dab plaza: DA-4884-4016-1639 100% Orange Juice also added mod support, which I proceeded to abuse for sick degenerative purposes. I can add that to my list of lifetime accolades.

Has anyone messed about with Cadence of Hyrule? It has been one of the most enjoyable and charming zelda experiences I've had in such a long time. It is on the short side but I've done multiple playthroughs and been satisfied each time. Really excited to get the season pass, get more tunes and a whole new campaign with the Skull Kid and transforming masks yaass.

Played the first hour of Mother 3 and really loved it this time! You wouldn't expect the handheld form factor to be that much of a difference, but the game never clicked with me on emulators.

I've been playing Death Stranding, it's the first 'AAA' game I've picked up in years and refreshing to play one without microtransactions, it's just a packaged experience. Good fun as well, very cathartic to play. I also started playing Ark: Survival Evolved again on a private PvE server with boosted rates so it's less 'grindy'. If people want to join hit me up and I'll send a link.

I beat Defection. Once I beat Investigation, I'll be as far as I've ever got on Perfect Agent. I'm getting used to aiming on N64 again little by little. Anyways, after having completed only the first level of the game, I decided to take a well deserved break by loading up my favorite combat simulator preset. It's G5 Building, 8 meat sims, all weapons set to remote mines, and a 100 score goal. Highly recommend it if you pick up Perfect Dark again.

Update: I'm now officially further than I ever have been on Perfect Agent. This level gets a lot easier once you realize you can just leave Dr. Carol at the start where he can't comically glide in front of you in the middle of a firefight. I've been using these replacement parts from kitschbent for this mission, by the way. They needed a little bit of sanding down and greasing at the contact points, and they still get stuck a bit in the deadzone which can cause a tiny bit of drift, but that should hopefully go away when it gets a bit more worked in. I've tested a lot of N64 stick replacements over the years, and so far this one has been the best solution. I'd still love to get my hands on a steelstick one day.

Having fully beat Hitman 2, I decided to check out all the challenge objectives and extra missions associated with each level. Thankfully you can play all the Himan (2016) levels in the second game. So I've now fully completed the ICA Training Facility and Paris and, it's actually really neat how each objective changes up the level completely. Plus how fun it is once you know where everything is and who's going to be where. Sometimes it feels good to go super stealthily and get in and out without a trace, and other times running in guns blazing, hiding none of the bodies, and still being quick enough on the draw that everyone around you is just confused.
Plus all the little conversations and attention to detail on nearly every object in the game, keeps you from being bored, even if you've already spent near 20 hours in this same level. I also snagged The Witcher 3 on Steam because it was on sale and I've been playing through it. Interesting little characters and world, love the stormy weather, and sorta' just sitting in the world watching all the NPC's go about their day. I haven't run into any of the 'crazy side quests' that get so often touted about the game, but just existing has been nice.

I played some of Saints Row IV last night because I was stressed and wanted something dumb and low stakes. It was dumb and low stakes.

I would do the Gamecube stick replacement on anything with a broken stick, but I've found that the GCN-style sticks are more sensitive than the standard one. Makes the shooting gallery in OOT waaaay harder.

Turns out Control is real ****ing good.
It seems that my not knowing absolutely anything about this game, outside of being developed by Remedy, is because it's not a game you can look at and immediately tell what it's about. Quote:
