I'm not sure if this thread is meant strictly for video games, because I haven't done anything special there today.

But if I can just take a moment to talk about a tabletop session I had today. I play a character with disadvantages, making his disgusting too look at and lives a life of poverty. However one of your players didn't make it so we had no one to roll our social checks. I had the next highest likely hood of success, a very very low chance though. So I bit the bullet and started rolling dice. 5 times in a row I rolled perfect scores and was able to convince people to assist us regardless of my physical deformities scaring them. It was inspiring and probably the single luckiest streak I've ever had in my life.

Hey now, I'm still being quoted in the OP. That's kinda cool. :rofl:

I beat Iconoclasts (PS Vita) a few days ago. This is a big deal for me because I've been stressed out and depressed this year, and it's bled into my gaming hobby, sadly. I've barely been able to convince myself to play games this year aside from occasionally replaying some old ones, and dabbling aimlessly in a couple roguelites. Iconoclasts is the first all-new game this year that I've beaten, blazing through it in less than two weeks (that's pretty fast for me) and it really reinvigorated the fire in me to not give up my favorite hobby. It was something I desperately needed.

Iconoclasts is a great game, btw. I strongly recommend it, especially if you love Metroidvania action platformers.

I honestly can't remember if I did this legit, or just used cheat mode. I definitely did it legit in Sonic 3 & Knuckles, though. Good work!

I save scummed and abused save states for sure, so it's up to the individual if they think it's cheating. Gray area for sure but I still did it. I think I'll do Sonic 1 next, and then move on to the holy duelology of Sonic 3 + Sonic & Knuckles.

I mean, there was a time when I would judge someone for that, but no so much anymore. I generally don't find fulfillment in save states myself, but it's up to you to decide what makes you have fun and feel accomplished in your gaming hobby.

I am playing a lot of different games right now.
Mighty Number 9: I beat 3 bosses so far. God this game is so lack luster. Its like armature hour.
Dragon Quest Heroes 2: I made it through the forest and I am fighting the Queen of whatever land opposes us. This game is so much better than DQH1 and I honestly loved that one too.
Tales of the Borderlands. Lets be honest, I like Borderlands and I am kinda playing this for an easy plat.

Finished The Legend of Heroes - Trails in the Sky SC. Even with a hacked save file it took me 36 hours to beat this long game.
