Yesterday, with 2.5 hours to spare, I finished @revenantkioku.letsplaying.com’s Trials of Mana event. It was my first time completing the game! The time pressure of an especially busy month is really what made it challenging.

"If you hate GenAI you're going to have to stop playing new games when they all start using it"
My brother in Christ, my backlog is literally thousands of games long. I have lifetimes worth of earlier titles to play, & I will gladly do that instead of boiling the oceans for a new CoD or whatever

New games weren't scarce in the 90s, but you could've easily played most of the hits. Now there's so many masterpieces that everyone has their personal endless backlog of amazing content.

Huh. That feels odd. I played this entire game end-to-end on Switch 2 and it was great. The one time I switched to Switch (1) briefly was terrible.
