Lots going on this last week! Time to do a little catch up :D

First of all, I got into some shmups! I'm following a list of beginner shmups I found online, and I started with attempting to get a 1cc on Super Easy on ESP Ra.De. Psi- And I got it on the first day!! I was extremely excited about it. It's an extremely easy 1cc but I'm still proud of myself and I'm happy that I got to experience it. I then went for Espgaluda 2 (not even knowing it's a spinoff of ESP Ra.De.) and I got both the Novice 1cc, but also the Novice 1cc for Espgaluda Black Label! So now I've got 3 1ccs under my belt! Which is just oh so exciting.

I've also been playing through Jak and Daxter! I've been making slow progress but that's part of the fun for me. A very enjoyable collectathon that's just an extremely pleasant game.

Last night I beat Metroid: Zero Mission!!! A very good game, a solid 8/10 for me personally. I didn't like the Mother Brain fight and there was some clunkiness but overall the level design, exploration, progression, abilities, Samus, music, and basically everything were on point. A great way to start with the series and I can't wait to try more (although I definitely need a break).

Some short but sweet updates: I'm dropping Final Fantasy 5 for now, I'm just not feeling it right now. I really want to play it eventually I just want to make sure I'm in the headspace to enjoy it. I think I just got burnt out on 4 and starting 5 so soon was not the right call. But never fear, I will be back and I'm excited. I also have been making my way still through Witch on the Holy Night and it keeps getting better. I wanna get a good sesh in of it tonight for sure.

Something non video game related: My partner and I have started watching Supernatural! I've already seen the first 4 seasons, my partner hasn't seen any of it. Holy shit, it's way better than I remember. It's such a competent show, and both Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki are legit great actors. They both embody their respective characters so god damn well. We are getting addicted to it and if it wasn't for my college work I have to do, we would be binging it non stop today. Basically, we're gonna non stop binge it as soon as I'm done with college work hahaha. (We're about halfway through season 1).

Anyway, that's all for now! Thanks for being here and giving me a creative outlet to process the media I consume. Too often I consume without producing and this blog I think is helping me balance that out. I love typing into the voidvoidvoid. Talk to you later! :D
