Still slowly making my way through Sparks of Hope. I'm almost done with the third world and it's been my favorite one yet. Having enemies that don't trigger reaction abilities finally forced me to switch up my party a bit. Mario and Luigi's hair trigger abilities have been really good in the first game, so I was really surprised to see them getting buffed to an absurd degree in the sequel! I don't think the game expected me to focus all my skill points into that tree, but I know what I want.

I recently completed Nier: Automata. I've beaten the game before, but didn't complete it. Granted, 'completion' refers to just the Steam achievements and 100% sub quest completion, I don't need every in-game metric to be maxed out, especially fishing.

So with that slot opened up, I will finally play Batman: Arkham Knight for the first time. It wasn't the game I planned to play next, but hearing about the failure of the Suicide Squad kinda put me in the mood for it. To be honest, I'm... kinda nervous. I love the other Arkham games (even Origins) and I didn't have a PC strong enough to run Arkham Knight until a few months ago, so I've always had an excuse not to play it. And now I can finally play it... I really can't describe why I'm nervous about it. It's like seeing an old friend again for the first time in many years. A good kind of nervous, I guess.
