It’s been almost exactly a year since I’ve posted on this site and that’s all on me. My idea about randomizing games didn’t really really help me because I was still worried if I was wasting time playing whatever game was on the list.<\/p>\n

Since then I was given a Minecraft edition Xbox 1 for Christmas so now I’ve got a PS3, PS4, XB1, SNES Classic, 2 Vitas, a 2DS XL, a GBA SP, my custom GBA and my desktop PC. So the choices just keep growing, it’s great lol<\/p>\n

My custom GBA has been broken for a couple of months from me screwing up an amp installation but a kind stranger on Reddit sent me a spare GBA he had for free so i was able to transplant it to my shell and get it working again. Since then I’ve actually beat a couple games! I’m very torn on it because as per the rules of rose colored glasses, I remember these games being a lot harder and were unable to beat them when I was younger.<\/p>\n

The first game I beat on my GBA since fixing it was a colorized ROM hack of Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I managed to beat it fairly “easily”. And by easily I mean I may have used a couple game state saves. It was challenging but I remember it being a lot harder when I was younger.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Last night I decided to try starting Kirby for the Game Boy and……..beat it in an hour. It was a regular game cart so there was no save-state shenanigans.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I think I need to reevaluate how I approach games as far as what I consider a good game. Kirby was fun but when I beat it I was honestly shocked because I’m used to the current fetishised “if the game isn’t punishing you it’s not a good game” a la Darksouls etc. The game does have a NewGame+ option so I think I will give that a go.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So for now.<\/p>\n
