Perfect score on a song.


Alternate Stage 4 on a Technical chart.

Also, I’ve, for the past month, been playing NetHack. I recently decided to play as a Wizard instead of a Knight, and I find the former to be more fun because I get to do more besides run into enemies to do battle with them. I’m still not very familiar or good with this game; it’s to RPGs of any kind as I Wanna Be The Guy is to 2D platformers. I keep skimping on armor and weapons because they often do little and in some cases are cursed, magically gluing themselves to my body to ensure that I don’t get such crappy equipment off. Being the assholish non-casual gamer that I am, there shall be no save-scumming or other such shenanigans in my years-long quest to ascend.

Just in time for the upcoming RayStorm HD, I’ve ordered a used copy of RayCrisis, which should be somewhere in transit in the general directon of Santa Clara, California as I type this. Having heard crappy things about this game (even moreso than RayStorm, and yes, I like RayStorm more than RayForce, shut up), I will employ the same tactic I used to enjoy Gradius ReBirth‘s 5 stages: use low expectations to crank out as much enjoyment out of it as possible.
