Xenosaga 2: Jenseits von Gut und Böse
If you're wondering, the subtitle is just the German name for the book "Beyond Good and Evil" (not related to the game "Beyond Good and Evil"). So, I was talking with Karo about me finishing off my PS3 digital purchase list, and Xenogears got brought up since it was one of the games I bought on that list a long while back, and we got to talking about the entire Xeno series and how absolutely weird it is from a development perspective. And for those that don't know, yes, Xenogears, Xenosaga and Xenoblade are all spiritually linked thanks to the man at the helm of them all: Tetsuya Takahashi. He is credited as either a director or author of all the games in the "series".
Anyway, it got me to searching on eBay for the two episodes of Xenosaga I do not have (I already have episode 1). While Episode three is pretty firmly outside of my price range right now ($200 MINIMUM!), I managed to snag a copy of 2 for only 50 bucks, which is a steal for a cult classic vintage game like Xenosaga. It even has a game manual and everything. ...sure, it was an impulse buy, but it's been on my list for a while, now.

Doom: The Dark Ages (PS5)
Decided to pre-order it from Amazon just now and forgot I had gift card balance left, so I only had to spend $40 instead of $70. Hopefully it comes on release day like it says it will so I don't have to worry too much about avoiding spoilers.

Sword of the Black Stone (PC)
So the almighty Algorithm has blessed me with content, once again. Randomly scrolling through my recommends on Youtube showed me this thumbnail:

Needless to say, I needed to know more. When I found out the game was 2 bucks, I immediately bought it. I have a folder on Steam filled with my questionable purchases of games. I named it "This Was Probably a Mistake...", and this game was a worthy addition to this folder. It is...nothing short of glorious, honestly.
In all seriousness, no hate on the dev, I loved what I saw. It has a sense of earnestness and sincerity in its jank that is adorable to see. Thank you for blessing the world with this game. I don't necessarily plan on playing it, tbh, but I did want to throw some money your way for your efforts.

Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time [Steam]: If you played the 3DS version the story is different, but so far what I've played I like of the game. But I also enjoyed the original game anyway, so seeing it return is a treat! 💜
