I have put that Story of Seasons picross game in my wishlist! It sounds real good. We'll see what's on sale when I need one next lol

The move did go well, thanks! But I have had significantly less game time lately 

Yeah, I have a little group of friends I always play with. It keeps us busy!

I do like Picross games! And that one sounds neat. I'll have to look it up and wish list it. I like when devs have fun with a genre like this. There's a murder mystery Picross game called Murder by Numbers that I've thought about getting a few times.

You should! I would suggest having a goal in mind when you play Vampire Survivors. For instance, when selecting a level, it will show you if there is a relic to collect in that level. So on that run, try to collect the relic. It should show up on the map. Speaking of the map, a lot of levels have a question mark on the map. That denotes a coffin and if you kill all the coffin guards, you can make a new character available to unlock. And if you're trying to do something specific and can't figure it out, just google it. The game can be a little obtuse.

Yeah! It's Patreon-funded now but you can get most of the podcasts free still.

I'm looking forward to that new Contra game! That's all WayForward as far as I know. Retronauts had an interview with one of the main devs. It's sounding good.

Bloodstained was not developed by WayForward, though maybe they assisted in some way. I saw that the game is still getting the occasional update, which is crazy to me. I wonder if they finally fulfilled all the Kickstarter stretch goals. It's been five years since the game came out! I want a proper sequel!

I'm not familiar with Gaplus but that sounds pretty cool.

I bought Mario Vs. Donkey Kong before a band trip in high school. I have a lot of good memories of working through the levels while in the back of a 15-passenger van. Later I played Donkey Kong '94 and playing them in that order really worked out since the original Game Boy game is the better game. I never did play any of the sequels because I was annoyed that they changed the gameplay so much to focus on the minis. I just wanted more puzzle platformer levels with Mario!
