Being A Total Diva

by

Today has been a sleep in kind of day, with an orange cat persuading me to lay in bed with him… that and feeling motion sick for most of the day. I cleared a little over 100GB of video footage and contemplated what to play, something that wouldn’t make me dizzy would be ideal. As I scanned my library of infinite entertainment I settled on being a Diva, or Divas. Luka, Miku, Rin, etc… In one form or another they were all on stage.

If you’ve ever played any of the Yakuza Karaoke games, then that’s basically the entirety of this game… only with Vocaloids in place of Yakuza. I mainly played in Rhythm Mode tonight, with the easier songs (which can sometimes go from easy to HOLY FUCK). Managed to get about five achievements tonight, not a bad start IMO. It was also nice to listen to some of the newer Vocaloid songs, as well as revisit some old ones that brought me back to my early 20’s… I felt old after listening to some of them. 😭 Still… it was a nice trip down memory lane, and I can now say I properly played a Hatsune Miku game!

Trading JRPGS for Indies

I guess I didn’t have much energy to post yesterday… I blame NieR’s musical score for lulling me to sleep. I did wake up this morning with some fine energy, made a good breakfast and did a few things around the house. Oh, and of course there was some 4K gaming shenanigans. 😛 But I gave the Japanese RPG games a rest, and focused on playing some Unreal Engine Indie Games like Overload, and BPM: Bullets Per Minute.

I still suck at it, but I did at least get an achievement for getting out of the first two levels! It’s an FPS Roguelike where you can only shoot to the beat of the music, all the while traversing a dungeon that changes each time you die, which makes the gameplay much less stale at least.

On this particular playthough I happened to find a bank! Handy for stashing extra coinage when I don’t have a use for it. As an added bonus if you find the bank again after you die you’ll be able to retrieve your coins. That came in handy this evening for buying some pricey powerups that can’t easily be obtained within one dungeon romp. As much as I keep dying it’s oddly addicting to play.
