Game Plans

Sundays:

A set of games I can play while watching the other streamers on the multistream and interacting with chat. Must fit the format of shorter (2-hour) streams.

 

  • Donkey Kong Bananza

  • Picross S (when I need a break: S2)

  • Power Wash Simulator (between games)

Choice Games:

A set of games I really want to play, whether by express choice or a sense of obligation. Twitch viewers can populate this with a points redemption. Presently, I am finishing series that I started earlier and then gained further access to series entries after finishing the set.

This set is on Mondays & Saturdays.

 

  • Final Fantasy

  • Hollow Knight: Silksong

  • Klonoa: Empire of Dreams

  • The Legend of Zelda

  • Metroid (current: Prime)

  • Pokemon
  • Wonder Boy

Event Games/Etc.:

Games and other streams voted on by the community for certain events. Most often, this is for annual events such as my Twitch Affiliate anniversary and my streaming anniversary, or as a break between finishing game series. There can be more of these if Twitch subscription milestones are hit.

 

  • Between Twitch series: model building
  • First Saturday monthly: Hollow Knight Randomizer
  • Affiliate Anniversary/Birthday: Poll

I really didn't expect having this much fun with it.


As much as I've enjoyed this game, I didn't expect I'd have a lot of fun doing a roguelite-type effort. I haven't exactly been thinking about how fast I was doing anything in the game, and though I've enjoyed many pure roguelite (that is, random with no carry-over except knowledge and some unlocks) games, I'm not exactly the sort of person who rushes all that well. There's even a Splatoon level called "Time Waits for No Squid", to which I replied, "I take that as a personal challenge." I think my time on that level was over double what the developers intended. It was thankfully timing challenges, not an overall timer.


Additionally, I knew next to nothing about the actual contents of the DLC. DK Island I suspected would have a ton of references, and it does. It actually has less than I thought it would, though it does include some obscure items I did not expect, like the giant bongos. Also, it gave me a goal: collect all the statues! I'll probably call the game done after I do that, if I've already gotten all of the unlocks for Emerald Rush. If I haven't, I'll do that, too. It might take a while if I'm doing the whole thing at difficulty 3 or lower, but I'm fine with that. The mode is fun.


And for another thing I didn't expect: I ran way past my normal finishing time! I actually ended up late for choir practice because I severely underestimated how long one instance of Emerald Rush would last. (I normally give myself half an hour of buffer but ran 45 minutes past the end.) You'd think 10x99 seconds (16.5 minutes) wouldn't take that long, but that doesn't account for pause time for every skill or perk upgrade and opening the map. I'm glad I don't have to do that on an in-game timer as well, but I do still have to keep in mind that it does take actual time out of the stream duration.
