I guess I can focus on being glad Level5 is still kicking. I’m really focused on Layton, though.
Finished FFVII Intergrade! That was much shorter than I expected, but I did put in a vintage one day, 10-hour shift into it. I also played on classic mode which made me enjoy the game a lot more. I loved not feeling the frustration of getting caught in the triangle exclamation point attacks because the game was taking care of that blocking for me.
Started Persona 5 Royal after reading the first few volumes of the manga adaptation. The presentation is so stylish that I felt I had to post again this weekend.
Finished Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade? The title is too much. Part one of the remake is done! Except I unlocked a hard mode I don’t want that is required to see certain parts of the story. I should have gone though it on easy; then I might have the interest in looking for more.
Started the Spring Season of my Microsoft Excel and Kahoot powered baseball game for my students. I printed box scores for the first four games and posted them on the lockers outside of my classroom. I am getting so much joy from the programming involved in transforming mostly random numbers into a baseball game with a story. One of these weeks, I’ll block out the names and post a box score.
Regarding Ticket to Ride Legacy: @slimerancher@lemmy.world asked about the difference between this and the original game, so I wanted to share with y’all what makes it so special. The idea of a legacy game is that choices made in the first (of twelve or so) game you play leads to different outcomes in future games. We are all railroaders looking to make money in the late 1800s but because of the time, in the first three games of the legacy, we are limited to routes from the Atlantic to the Mississippi. Over time, you expand the map as the story develops.
Tap for spoiler
There is a story line and which color you play as for the legacy affects things as well (current, if I claim a red line, I get two dollars income the red player).
When I won the third game and fourth game, one of the things I got to decide was where the story expands to next: Florida, Texas-area, or the Great Plains. As a Floridian for most of my life, I avoided it. When we bring the game out next time, we will assemble the starting pieces of the map (like a big puzzle) and add in the Great Plains and Texas.
There’s a lot more to say, but I’ll just add one thing: when you complete a route, at the end of the game, you punch the ticket. Some routes unlock a special power or scoring opportunity for a later game. Some routes require the same player to complete it twice in order to “retire” the route.
Writing about it this much makes me itchy to play more. I don’t want to spoil any more of it, but for those of you just wondering, there’s nothing earth-shattering behind the spoiler tag. If you are already planning on playing, don’t read it!
I think I’ll start the FFVII Interlude with Yuffie tonight!
I’ve completed the first Palace in Persona 5 Royal. This game is really great! Unfortunately for me, the local library had Kirby and the Forgotten Land for Switch 2 available for checkout, so my Persona playing machine is in the hands of my youngest.
