I finally beaten The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. I’ll be honest with you guys, there have been times I’ve played this game on the Wii without buying it but rather borrowing it from friends, but I never got too far in the game that much. Maybe because of the motion controls I was using. But regardless, I finally got to not only buy this game on the Switch, but played more than the first dungeon and eventually finished the game. It was definitely better than what I thought. The experience would be now that I was able to just use the controller. I’m sure there are people out there that would have fun with the motion controls and good on them. Overall, great game

I've beaten my 15th game of 2025 today. (I forgot to post about Sonic the Fighters which is my 14th but whatever)

Thats quit a lot tbh, i usually beat a phew games a year, its just been the last 2 years i reach 20+ 

Been jumping between games for a bit, ended up doing a Final Fantasy 12 run, counting as completed as only thing left is final boss, which is kinda dull. About the game though, trophies are so silly.

Thought, might as well see if there are some trophies I don't have, saw the All Technicks and all Magicks. Easy, just buy them job done.

No, so, I was missing 4 technicks. Said technicks spawn in chests in certain locations, I'd been to one of those locations, why didn't I have it (basically the hardest area of the game). Turns out it spawns in a specific location 10% of the time. Which means I was running in and out of the area to get it to spawn, 10% ended up about 5% the amount of times I left and re-entered the area. Job done, success.

On to magicks.... *looks at list and the RNG chances of them in weird locations*

I went back to Tekken 8.

FF trophies are a joke, SquEnix need to calm down.

I've beaten my 16th game of 2025 today.
