#putty squad

Ten putty filled screenshots from the 1993 System 3 Super Nintendo platformer:

Putty Squad

Xenoblade Chronicles 2: The outer box is super flimsy, but otherwise has good stuff inside. Holographic coating on the front box, a large proper hard cover art book, soundtrack sampler and a steel case for the cartridge. I still haven't got too far in it, the combat I hear opens up, but right now it plays out as lifeless as MMO combat.

Cursed Castilla EX: Another Eastasiasoft title. Came with an art book, limited number card, sound track and a full color manual. Play Asia also included a sticker seen at the top right.

La Mulana EX: a Limited Run Games LE. Comes with a poster, manual and 4 (!) CD's of soundtrack. I got the silver card. I've left the game sealed as I already have it digitally... If I remember right, the jumping felt awkward to me in the game, but I haven't played it for quite a few years.

Bubsy - The Woolies Strike Back: Look, I had zero intention of getting this. I have some fond memories of the first Bubsy game back in the day, but I'd be hard pressed to call it good. This was so dirt cheap on Amazon on one of their lightning deals though, I think it was $9 or $10. I'll fux wit dat. Came with a soundtrack disc, a post card and a business card.

Games: Picked up Freedom Wars and Touch My Katamari. Freedom Wars I had digitally, and my copy of Katamari didn't have a case, so now I do. Later on, grabbed Putty Squad and finally found Supremacy MMA at a decent price. Already had Putty Squad, but it was cart only, so it's an upgrade.

LRG: Another stack of these. Steamworld Heist & Dig, Rock Boshers DX and the developers variant of Mecho Tales (came with both card variants).

Upcoming: I have some more games on the way in the future. Windjammers LE, Claire Extended Cut, The Count Lucanor LE, Skullgirls 2nd Encore LE, UnEpic (not the LE due to Play Asia not notifying me when it went up for sale), and Skull Pirates LE (not 'til at least October though). Also, Rainbow Moon & Rainbow Skies LE's (already have the LRG variant of Rainbow Moon). Plan on picking up Sky Force Anniversary and Croixleur Sigma when they're made available this week. Oh, and Velocity 2X FINALLY has a set release date of March 6th. I have other stuff ordered, but it's not Vita related so I don't feel like documenting it here ahead of time.

I'm alive and doing decent. We're treating my stuff as panic attacks, so I'm on prozac. Hasn't altered my mental state (I'm still me) and I'm able to work and sleep and everything. I moved back into my bedroom a while ago.

I still occasionally feel some craziness in my stomach, so whatever's going on is still happening, but the prozac seems to keep it easy enough to work with. If it gets bad at any point, I still have some Klonopin, but haven't really had to take it for many weeks and hope that keeps up. The nausea is doing much better as well, but still rears it's ugly head from time to time. Mostly when I'm traveling, but not very often.

My diet has changed quite a bit in trying to deal with high cholesterol. Breakfast is now some form of oatmeal or muesli with yogurt. Lunch is fairly similar to what I was eating before, but using more chicken breast instead of thighs, replacing a bag of chips with an apple and not drinking a can of soda. Dinner most nights is a tortilla, a slice or two of good sandwich meat and a fat pile of salad greens with a drizzle of a vinaigrette and a couple of small mandarin/oranges. As far as soda, I've found that I like the fizzy feeling, but don't really care about the flavor all that much. When I want one, I have a La Croix or other sparkling water. Also started drinking a lot of tea as a replacement for coffee in the morning. Mostly earl grey, but I have a lot of different types to keep it interesting.
