Coming here way earlier than usual because the free time on my hands has allowed me to complete Majora's Mask rather quickly. It indeed is a massive game and I loved every second of it, but probably I won't replay it since it takes so much of my time to do and I already covered all the important stuff. I wonder if I'll get my hands on any game that, like this one, I didn't get back in time but would be an amazing experience, we'll see if life has anything in store for me.

The rest stays like usual. Progress being made with unlocking things in CTR, portals being revisited and completed in Master Duel (I'm currently tackling those that are more of a pain, leaving the best for last as well as the new portal I haven't yet tried) and new things being tested and approved/discarded in Assetto Corsa.

I must say, though, that this past week I haven't seen many new things for Assetto Corsa, which makes me wonder if people is already turning to the new game two months after its early-access release. I still think it might be just a slow week, but we'll see if things return to normal or stay like this because I could probably be done with searching new things for it (or at least I'd search less often, knowing the load isn't as big as it used to be).

I also used some of my free time to start tackling seriously the guide for Assetto Corsa, because I think writing is going to be a fun hobby to have knowing how life is going and can probably go in the near future. Motivation is high right now and I feel my productivity increasing, so basically so far so good. Gonna take a lot of time to complete, and even more to find the time to actually lap all of the mods I have, but I'm not going to leave this project anytime soon.

Those were the news. I don't know how April will unfold, but I don't see myself making any big progress on any game because all my unfinished business either takes a lot to complete or is regarding a guide I won't tackle soon. If anything changes, I'll come back here and provide the necessary updates, until then I'll crawl back to my dungeon.

I'm back here again because recent events have made me reconsider a thing or two I want to share.

The main news is with Assetto Corsa, because it's official now that less and less mods are appearing for the last weeks. I'm wondering if this is really because modders are now focused on upgrading to the sequel, which I haven't seen more news of as of late, or because they're waiting to see if this sequel flops or not to dedicate their time to the game that truly deserves it. Depending on my free time the coming weeks I'll start a search for this, I'm intrigued to see how EVO is faring and if it will live to our expectations.

On my Switch progress, I'm wondering if I should continue with this CTR/Master Duel duality. I don't have much to do in the latter, and in the former it's just the daily challenges that can be done in some 20 minutes at most. I don't have much to do in other games either, but I could have a better pastime in those as I wait to get anything new in the summer. I'll decide over it in the coming days, because I could need the boost of something new or refreshing in my routine.

I've also been giving a look or two at my stash of potential guides I could write. That could also be something new and refreshing that replenishes my energy and motivation for life in general, so I could be booting up certain games to see which one will get off that list first. Nothing on the short term, though, it will be more like a push for the summer and attempt to maintain it all year long if my job allows me to do it.

One month later, and juicy news to share here.

My Switch progress is as steady as usual. More and more skins being unlocked in CTR, and slowly completing all portals in Master Duel. The latter got an update not long ago which added two very short portals, which were a nice refresher and also interesting archetypes, hopefully next time we get fully fledged portals to properly explore archetypes and their lore.

Things are as dead as usual in Assetto Corsa. Most of the mods appearing now are for already popular tracks, very few new faces appearing. Still, I managed to get my hands on a special mod I've been searching for years, so it was definitely worth the wait. Other than that, I've been doing some proper cleaning both on all the mods I had and also my special guide, which I should get back to soon.

In other news, I was playing Super Mario Sunshine for fun to kill some time this past weekend. My girlfriend arrived home and when she saw me playing she wanted to get in the fun too. Turns out she knew a lot more of the game than me and remembers it much better, so this many years later I'm exploring new levels and unlockables in this game. I won't get to clear it, I've already seen a few levels I definitely don't have time or energy for them, but maybe I could properly complete the story which would be enough for me.

Once I'm done with (trying to complete) Sunshine I'll maybe go back to writing. I need to retake this hobby or work is gonna kill me. Anyway, I guess I'll see you in mid to late June with more news to share, and hopefully with one or two secret surprises like happened this time.

With the summer heat having kicked in heavily, bringing an update here despite not having much to say.

The progress in CTR continues its usual pace in the pursuit of skins. Bigger news come from Master Duel, new portals have been added and I'm also trying to create two new decks to spice things up a bit more.

The progress of Assetto Corsa is barely unexistent now. I keep searching for things but barely any results come back. This means I can fully focus on my guide (which is boosted with updates on my sources about certain tracks, something that has also increased my list of mods I wish existed) and with summertime coming soon I could progress an awful lot with it.

Navigating through my old games, I suddenly regained access to three of them which I've been testing and playing a bit. I may even attempt to complete them just to have something new to aim for, even though I'm not confident in one of them for reasons. If these three end up being something serious, I'll make sure to report about them in the next post nearing the end of July.

I've also booted up again Digimon Rumble Arena and its sequel. I've been aiming to make a guide for both of them so I'm doing them more or less at the same time. They share so many mechanics and elements that the skeleton of the guide is roughly the same for both, and that allows me to do two for the price of one. We'll see if I can post them both before August comes, I don't have much free time these days because of overwhelming work and thus I decide to use my free time on disconnecting with everything and just playing for fun.

Maybe it could be time to get my hands on new material, but I don't think I'll do that before August, so for now I'll focus on all these open fronts and see where I go. Additionally, by then I'll start looking to get a new computer, which could open access to more demanding emulators and systems and games, which means we could get juicy updates in the next two months. We'll see how things go, maybe the heat ends up melting me any day now.
