I set up my Xbox One again just below my Hyperkin 3. Retro first. I played some Genesis, got caught up with Xbox sales and rewards by playing NBA 2k20, and then went back into retro with a wealth of collections that are now on Xbox One. 

I played some RPGs today on NES, Game Boy and Genesis. I'm still at it, but I'm setting up my Xbox One again alongside the Hyperkin 3 so I can keep up with rewards and some new releases.

I'm playing both right now. Wizardry on NES via Hyperkin 3 and Dragon Warrior on Game Boy Color via the Gamecube's Game Boy Player.

It's such a grind, this game, and also full of catastrophy. You try and play it safe but the odds get you eventually. I'm still at it though. I usually have some principal I follow that makes it a kind of story, even if it is usually a tragic one. I enjoy it somehow. 

And Game Boy. I put all my current gen consoles away, stopped my subscriptions, and went full on retronaut. I got my Hyperkin 3 and Game Boy Player set up. I'm playing nothing but NES and Game Boy the rest of the month. Here's a pic of my rig now. 

What did Mark and I play today? Here's the skinny. 

Games, games, games. It's like my job right now. I get paid about 10 cents an hour via MS rewards points. Not exactly a living wage and no benefits, other than my pleasant state of mind. 

Just a couple games today. I tried to stick with them as long as I could.

Two things I disliked in games the last few days were niggly piggly exact platforming and stealth. Two things I liked in games this week were tough melee fighting and exploration. 

I'm playing a lot of games from 1985-89 this month but also some new stuff that came up, older stuff, and old but not so old stuff too. I'm playing everything, but I'm thinking about '85-'89 mainly and what it all means to me, music, games, books, film, you name it. So here are a few screen shots and a list of stuff I've been playing, if that's interesting to anybody.
