I've been enjoying the new Disney Dreamlight Valley update. As with most updates at the beginning, I did feel a bit overwhelmed yesterday. It's always hard to figure out what to start with. I ended up unlocking Aladdin and Jasmine's realm, doing the quests there, and inviting Aladdin and Jasmine to the valley. Once I was done with that, I switched my focus to the new star path. I really like some of the items from the new star path, but overall it isn't my favorite. For the bonus items, I feel like some of the recolors are too close to the regular versions. I'd prefer recolors with more distinct differences in coloring. The new cooking menu updates are amazing, and I also love being able to see that an item is a character's favorite for the day. I haven't messed around with changing room sizes yet, but I might change my first room into a little entryway

I never knew Pokemon had so many mobile games. I only touched the cafe one and Pokemon Go once. Pokemon Home to rescue my Pokemon (the ones I wanted) from my 3DS.

I played that Magikarp one around when it came out. I think.

999 felt relatively short, but going from 10 hours to 30 is also very extreme. You are a visual novel with escape rooms.

The fishing tasks for the current star path in Dreamlight Valley have been so much easier than usual so far! In previous star paths you'd have to catch a certain amount of a specific type of fish in a specific biome, and sometimes it could take forever. This time the fishing tasks have just been to catch ten of any fish in a specific biome. I also noticed the boutique challenges have only taken two days rather than three like last time, so that's an improvement as well.

Also, I said before that I wanted to make my main room into a little entryway, but...

Yeah, might want to wait to start on that


On another note, the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct is only one month away now, so that's exciting! I'm looking forward to it~

It wasn’t until I played Unicorn Overlord that I realized that I’m the type that needs story progression road blockers. The urge to fill up the map and get into random skirmishes gives me the same feeling like when I’m playing Civilization. Just one more turn.

I’m at a point in Echoes of Wisdom where I’m putting off fighting the final boss in favor of helping a cranky old inventor build automatons. This could be a separate game itself.
