Game Plans

Sundays:

A set of games I can play while watching the other streamers on the multistream and interacting with chat. Must fit the format of shorter (2-hour) streams.

 

  • Donkey Kong Bananza

  • Picross S (when I need a break: S2)

  • Power Wash Simulator (between games)

Choice Games:

A set of games I really want to play, whether by express choice or a sense of obligation. Twitch viewers can populate this with a points redemption. Presently, I am finishing series that I started earlier and then gained further access to series entries after finishing the set.

This set is on Mondays & Saturdays.

 

  • Final Fantasy

  • The Legend of Zelda (on deck: Twilight Princess)

  • Metroid

  • Pokemon
  • Wonder Boy
  • Xenoblade Chronicles (current: X Definitive Edition)

Event Games/Etc.:

Games and other streams voted on by the community for certain events. Most often, this is for annual events such as my Twitch Affiliate anniversary and my streaming anniversary, or as a break between finishing game series. There can be more of these if Twitch subscription milestones are hit.

 

  • 5-year Stream Anniversary: Breath of the Wild 100%-ish
  • Between Twitch series: model building
  • First Saturday monthly: Hollow Knight Randomizer

 

CREDITS ROLL, BUT IT'S NOT OVER YET

 

Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition - https://youtu.be/ey89pMQ2PSU

 

It's almost like the entire game never happened.

 

The post-credits scene basically says that Mira is an MMO and everything resets when you look away. This is why I said that the side missions with Professor B matter so much. We finally found the Lifehold Core, and it was in the state it would have been in immediately upon landing. Going back later, we get to see the state it's actually in because months have passed. Professor B, a time traveler, is entirely unable to travel through time because the perception of time passing is independent of time actually passing on Mira. Time… doesn't really pass here, is how I read it. The planet, and everything on it, exists perpetually.

 

This also makes L's postgame affinity mission critical to the plot. The Ruler of Fates, the level 99 Telethia, lets us know whether or not Mira accepts us as another lifeform upon it. Which it does. What that means, then, is that the existing form of humans as mimeosomes will continue to function regardless of the fact that their life support has expired. Mira itself is the backup life support for all life it accepts. This is my interpretation of the ending. It's also why I don't like this game. The other games actually make some degree of sense.

 

Now they've added another chapter to the game. It seems the chapter comes in multiple parts (at least 3) based on what I've seen so far. I also have totally avoided spoilers on what this chapter involves, so I have no idea if it'll rectify the issues I detail above. I hope it does, but I don't expect that. At the very least, I do enjoy many of the side missions, and just the gameplay in general, even if I don't like the main story.
