We have a wider assortment of Steam games.

So I got Bub a whole bunch of games off of Steam, to include many of his favorites, since we have a functioning USB controller (con? joystick? well, it’s not really a joystick). Right now, we’ve been playing Final Fantasy VI. We just got to the point where Sabin separates from the party and you can choose which group of characters you want to do the quests for in whatever order you’d like. I have Fioricet on hand to be able to give myself as needed, although I do wish that I had more doses of it… I’m supposed to make ten doses two pills apiece last for thirty days — either that or twenty doses one pill apiece, but I always need two pills. Two capsules. Whatever. It’s a lot better than none, but this here is a prime example of the War on Pain Patients.

As always, I am down for the Celes Chere life, but I also do like Terra Branford, so… there’s that.

After this, I think we’ll circle back around and play Final Fantasy V… I mean, we have that now on Steam.

I finally got around to actually doing this.

Let me preface this post by mentioning the fact that i am so glad Onision was banned from Patreon and permanently barred from making any (more) money off of his YouTube videos. This was a long time coming.

In other news, I mapped our gaming controller using Sonic 2 as the… guinea pig for it, and I am pleased with the results so far. With any luck, this will hold for all of the other computer games we have that require, or at least strongly suggest using, a controller. I got Bub Sonic — we actually got Sonic 2 free during a promotion — Sonic 3 & Knuckles, Sonic CD, and Sonic Spinball. I’m thinking about getting Toejam & Earl and the other assorted games for Bub as well. I grew up on these, they’re nostalgic, and I feel like they are the perfect games to introduce to Bub. Since he already likes Sonic games, this is a major plus and will not go wrong.

Origin and Steam are a lot more fun than I had originally thought they were going to be. Seriously.
