@MaxPlastic I see this with my wife. She doesn't even touch Sonic games, cause they're too fast and overwhelming. She can get by in a Mario game tho, so she plays those
I really like the tags such as "Low Pressure". Im mostly aiming for those right now, cause my career and small child mean that I don't get a lot of gaming time, and what I do get, I don't want to spend a bunch of time making no progress. Excellent addition!
This is my favourite Mario game. I have 355 moons, and I love that I still have so much to do! Been playing since 2018 off and on, and I'm still not ready to be fully done with it
Going to finish up Saints Row the Third this weekend I think! Love this game, good memories of beating it entirely co-op with my best friend back in 2011, and having a nice casual playthrough this time. After that, I'll probably boot up Legend of Dragoon, have a go at that
Working on my Pokedex in Pokémon Platinum, I'm at 140 now! So glad I could finally start on Gen 4, was burning out on Gen 3, but I persevered and finished that one too
In Superstar Saga, I got stuck at the part where you have to hammer Luigi into a surfboard shape. I just couldn't figure it out! However, one day, I saw a kid playing his GBA in the library, and he was further than me, so I asked how he did it. He showed me, and now 20 years later, he's still my best friend
