I still need a good 100 hours or so. It's hard to say exactly, because menu times stop the timer, so the in-game time isn't anything to go by.

I was going to save Mario Wonder for in between Baten Kaitos 1 and 2 but I'm weak. It's now my B-game in place of Katamari, I'm sorry King of all Cosmos.

I'm in the endgame of Baten Kaitos now. Which means the big grind is cpming up to finish the collection and do all the SP Combos, which I always neglect because, like many things in the game, they are just so weirdly useless. Especially for how hard they can be to pull off naturally.

I'm through a big chunk of Beyond Good and Evil now, too. I'm not in as much love anymore and that's thanks to all the stealth sections. Though the fact that the camera controls on the Steam version just don't like controllers is the biggest contributor to that.
Edit: BG&E is beaten. The end really brought everything back to what I liked in the beginning! Now I'll join the others in waiting for the sequel. It'll be out soon, right? .........right?

Judging by what the people in this world are saying, being rolled up into a giant ball and lobbed into space isn't as bad as it sounds.

You can get really strong weapons really fast with Fusion, so I was able to take down black enemies with ease two hours after landing on the surface when in BotW, I was avoiding them for days. Other than that, I'd say the games are equal. The new enemies like Gleeok seem hard when you first run into them, but once you find a way that works, every enemy becomes a chump.

Shrines, on the other hand, I thought were harder but not in a good way. Where BotW asked you "Can you solve this puzzle?", TotK asks you "Can you get this to work?" and it's just annoying when you know what to do and still need to do it several times until it works.

I never noticed anything being wrong either. I don't think the idling would be related, but that's the only thing that's different now. And it stays on 100% for a few hours before doing it regardless.

My in-game time is ~115 hours now. It's more difficult because the Switch goes into Sleep-Mode and stops the timer and after a while, the battery starts draining while in the dock, so I try not to overdo it for the console's sake.

Still playing Baten Kaitos. Still having Baten Kaitos run in the background when I'm not playing it to grind out time.

I recently beat Assassin's Creed and started continuing my journey through gaming history I missed out on with Beyond Good and Evil. I'm only three hours in but I can already clearly see why this game is still such a fan favorite. This is a level of charming I haven't seen since Banjo-Kazooie!

Trying to think of some obscure, unknown games: Eien no Filena, a JRPG on the Super Nintendo. The protagonist is a woman pretending to be a man as a lower class citizen forced to be a gladiator. Awkwardness ensues when she is "assigned" a wife and the men around her start being very confused about their sexuality.

I started playing this for the first time earlier today. Only 3 hours in, but I can already tell why it has a very adamant fan base to this day.

I'll agree that Community hasn't had a single good episode in the last 8 years, but before that it was great.

My biggest pipe dream is an F-Zero with an extensive single player mode that's not even a racing game but plays like a Yakuza game instead. The series has such amazingly stupid characters that it would be a shame if nothing was ever done with them. I want Captain Falcon beating up people in Mute City in that over-the-top Yakuza style.

The achievement is to have all Magnus (cards) in your collection. Some cards evolve over time, like fresh green bananas that deal damage becoming regular bananas that heal and later spotty bananas that deal damage again. The shampoo card is one that, in its description, says you should try using it for two weeks. And they mean that literally. If you have that card for 336 hours, it transforms into a card called 'Splendid Hair'. It's not even a useful card, it just also unlocks the last few tracks in the music collection for some reason. It's legendary in how stupid it is.

And yes, there are 100% speedruns of the game that take slightly over two weeks!

Caligula was okay. I enjoyed the plot of the first one more, but the sequel was a lot easier to complete all sidequests in. For the record, the first game had over 500 NPCs each with a quest and most of them were roaming around certain areas, whereas the sequel has far less and you can easily look up where they are.
