Hello everyone!

Another very busy week, didn't really play much at all. And recently my DualSense (PS5 controller) started drifting and options button stopped working, so sent it for repairs, which means no PS5 games for few days. Which leaves:

  • New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe Still in water level, I paused the game and left it in sleep mode, which one of my kid closed, so I lost all progress since last castle. Had to replay all that. Now at the final castle of Water level.
  • Dragon Quest XI Played some more, killed a boss, and finished all the open available side quests. Now to next main quest.

What about you all? What are all of you playing? Or planning to play next?

I was playing a Link to the Past for the first time but I lost a lot of progress by forgetting to save including a whole dungeon and the ocarina mini-quest :( I want to keep going but it'll be hard to get me motivated to redo a bunch of stuff. I enjoy the game but it can be tedious just due to its age

Ah yeah, that's the issue with these older games. When playing A Link to the Past, I would just save before and after every dungeon, and when I am closing the game. Kept me safe enough.

It's a fun game , so you may end up enjoying rest of the game if you can get yourself to replay that bit again.
