Dear gaming diary, today I played Link's Awakening again. I went to the beach with Marin and spent a romantic moment with her. She wanted to make a wish to the windfish to become a seagull, so she could fly and make people happy with her songs. Ah, what a nice girl. Afterwards, we went to the Animal Village where she helped me pass the walrus. The villagers wanted to hear her sing. The ballad of the windfish is such a beautiful and magical song. Like the villagers, I could have just sat there and listened forever. Marin was so kind as to teach me the song. With the walrus gone, I was able to retrieve the key for the level 4 dungeon. On the way to the dungeon, on the mountain I met Papahl, who was starving, so I gave him a pineapple. Thankfully, I was there in time. Then I went to the dungeon, and what happens next, I will find out tomorrow. Until then, sweet dreams.

I am still tackling the Licence Tests in Gran Turismo 7, but I am afraid they are far beyond my skill level. On the bright side, I am really enjoying my relaxed replay of Link's Awakening. I finished level 4 today, learned to swim, and escorted the ghost back to its home. Hopefully, he can finally rest in peace.

I've done nothing but play Xenoblade 3 this month and will continue to do nothing except play Xenoblade 3 (with a few hours of the TTYD remake on occasion).

Got through playing a Tails in Sonic 1 run on Sonic Origins Plus on Switch. It's something how different the game is in some ways playing as Tails. Added Final Fantasy IX on Steam to my currently playing list. The old me tried FF4 and 7 in the past but never finish them. FF9 is turning out to be quite fun and better than expected and looks better than I thought for a PS1 game, so might be the game that gets me into the FF series. Also might play Tails Adventure soon.

I'm working my way through a game called Encased, which is pretty good but dragging on a bit. I recently picked TotK back up, and so I'm hoping to beat that in the next month or two

Working through the Witcher 3 remake. I never fully finished the story when I played ~10 years ago so it's been great to dive back in. Currently cleaning up my side quests in Novigrad before moving on to Skelige

Still chipping away at WRATH: Aeon of Ruin(PSVR2).

As for NS1(Still don't have an NS2 just yet. Sniffles*)
My HalloRad' line up for this Spooky October Halloween Season will be >

• Curse of the Moon 2
• Splatterhouse Arcade: HD Rumble Edition - (Featured in 'Namco Museum Collection')
• Ghosts n' Goblins Resurrection
• Cotton Reboot!
• Tenebris Somnia - (This one is a maybe. It's all going to come down to review scores. Admittedly, I'm more drawn to the 90's throw-back live action segments. The game itself is looking a bit clunky and cumbersome, similar to the likes of Clock Tower and maybe old school traditional Resident evil, but in sprite based form.)
