more palia with my lovely fiancée, still a nice cozy mmo

we both started playing pokemon legends z-a too, it's been pretty fun, but it is a thoroughly modern pokemon game for both good and bad (lots of clothing options and quality of life but extreme hand-holding that would feel patronizing to a 7 year old etc.)

also tried out some more decomps/recomps/source ports, the pokemon snap one is pretty good, and the lord of the rings two towers one is also pretty sick
my benchmark for quality for these things is the OoT and starfox ones from the harbour masters team and they come pretty close tbh
