I don't plan on gaming. I was out of town for work all week. I just want to hike or fish

I prefer hiking, but feeling very lazy this week, so my vote is for fishing!
Very busy work week so not too much gaming this time.
Playing the Super Robot Wars Y - Expansion Pack!
I knew there was a SRW stream this week and it would likely be about new DLC... but I was not expecting the new pack to release one day later. And of course I bough it immediately. 🙂
It's a big expansion, including Ideon, Star Driver, Eureka Seven Movies, Beltorchika's Children, Idolmaster Xenoglossia, Cross Ange and 26 new missions. For me the biggest highlight is Ideon, an iconic series that hasn't been in a SRW game since Alpha 3 - more than 20 years ago!
And I'm glad Ideon is getting a lot of love here, the Sword and Gun attacks look great (and as broken as ever), they brought back the "Ide Gauge" mechanic, and it even gets a unique "death" animation for a stage where he's on the enemy side. Biggest complaint so far is that they didn't get the rights to the original OST for Ideon and I was really expecting to see iconic tracks like Overwhelming Power again.
They aso included a few new free stages for the base game, and even unlocked the previous preorder-only DLC with Soji/Vangnex and Chitose/Granvang for all players.
And of course I bough it immediately. 🙂
All the VNs in your backlog are crying!
Been working through Octopath Traveler II.
I've done all chapter 1 and most chapter 2 stories for all 8 characters. I've come to accept that any attempt to prevent overlevelling for the main story is fruitless as my Ochette just cuts through any boss. Instead I've done some optional high level stuff to get challanging boss fights, which were great.
Also watched my partner play a ridiculous amount of Tomodachi Life. It seems like a lot of fun, but the pool of random events seems quite small. Also, a few things from the original game were cut, like the option to create custom songs.
This is where I was in Octopath Traveler when I just gave up. The game started feeling too repetitive.
Hopefully they will add more stuff in Tomodachi Life.
I am happily working my way through Persona 5 Royal. I don’t save much since I’m the only one who is using the Switch 2 this month, so I was shocked to see I’m approaching the fifty hour mark already. Time well spent, I feel.
50 hours, nice!
