"that was spesticular!"

I have woken up with a literal pain in my neck, so that's fun. I think I either tensed my left shoulder too hard yesterday, or slept on it funny, or some combination of both. I've taken some painkillers, and hopefully it will ease.

Anyway, in more exciting news, I beat Nocturne yesterday! I fully did not expect to, and it only took me two goes (as opposed to more for the previous boss) which was a nice surprise! I don't know where my ending ranked on a scale of good to bad, but I got the one where ( it is a spoiler! )

I didn't do much of the kalpas, as I get fed up with the bullshit in there (think teleport floors but magnified; also invisible walls because why not, I guess). So no True Demon Ending for me. I'm saving that for the next time.

And then I started on NEO: The World Ends With You! I will put everything about it under spoiler cuts, because obviously it's a very new game. My initial feeling is that I have very mixed feelings, but I'll explain more under the cut. I do like it being 3D, though, and I still love the art (which has had a glow up, and there's a nice little reference to it at one point)!

( more under here; beware spoilers )

I think I've said everything I want to say about that, for now.

In other other news: Johnny Chiodini streamed Untitled Goose Game on their channel yesterday afternoon, and it was delightful! (I didn't watch the whole thing because streams past two hours are a bit much for me, but I might go back to the rest of it later today).
