Turns out I typed up the update for the 15th but forgot to actually post it. So here's that one before today's actual one:

Positive progress this week as I was able to stay ahead of a couple of surprise releases by playing through a couple of shorter games I'd been wanting to get to while also picking up some wish list games.

New Titles:
- Hatsumira: From the Undying Future (SwitchDL)
- Muse Dash (SwitchDL)*
- Glorious Savior (PS5)
- Re:Touring (PS5)*
- Cybertrash STATYX (PS4)*

Progress:
- Beat and 100%'d Paint by Pixel (PS5)
- Beat and 100%'d Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons (PS5)

Currently in a big Visual Novel mood so I've started both Witch on the Holy Night for my console focus and ONE. for handheld courtesy of its Switch port. I'll likely get through at least one of them this week.

Hard to believe it's time to say this, but the main new release for this week is Eiyuden Chronicles. I'll be seeing my copy as early as today.

A steady week this week as I picked up only one title and had positive progress.

New Titles:
- Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes (PS5)

Progress:
- Beat and 100%'d Witch on the Holy Night (PS4)
- Beat ONE. (SwitchDL)

Got 3 of the 7 routes cleared on ONE. so I'll be working to finish that up this week for handheld. Undecided on what console game to focus on next but the break should give time for some needed video recording.

Expecting Stellar Blade this week plus any other wish list titles that may go on sale when I get paid.

Quiet week with breaking even as I held back on wish list titles except for one in particular that was still on sale.

New Titles:
- Stellar Blade (PS5)
- Valis: The Fantasm Soldier Collection III (SwitchDL)*

Progress:
- 100%'d ONE. (SwitchDL)

Taking a break from casual gaming this week to try and get some offline recording done for a project. If I can finish that, I'll have less of a burden in recording for a while.

Nothing new on the radar for this week, either.

Quiet week this week as I opted to not pick up any new titles since they can wait until next pay day, but I did revisit a favorite visual novel for its 20th anniversary.

Progress:
- Beat and 100%'d CLANNAD (Steam)
- Beat and 100%'d CLANNAD Side Stories (Steam)

Revisiting CLANNAD reminded me that I have yet to read its Tomoyo After spin-off, so I'll likely begin that this week.

No new releases on the radar for this week, so I'll probably continue to hold back.

Took it easy with casual gaming this week and avoided temptation to pick up some new titles as they could all wait until when I get paid later today.

Progress:
- Beat and 100%'d Tomoyo After -It's a Wonderful Life- CS Edition (SwitchDL)

Holding off on starting something new until I get this week's pick-ups, which will include the new Neptunia as well as a handful of wish list titles that are currently on sale.

Quiet week this week as I picked up a few titles with only one counting against the backlog and played just enough for positive progress since I'm focused on other projects still.

New Titles:
- Neptunia Game Maker R:Evolution (PS5)
- Hi-Fi RUSH (PS5)*
- Horrific Xanatorium (PS5)*
- Paint by Pixel 2 (PS5)*

Progress:
- Beat and 100%'d Paint by Pixel 2

Expecting two releases this week, though they're remakes/ports so they likely won't count against the backlog. I'm more focused on writing and recording projects, so I'll also likely knock out a few quickies for progress again.

Even quieter this week as I was too busy with other projects for casual gaming, but I did get those done so I can resume this week. Thankfully, the new games aren't counting against the backlog.

New Titles:
- Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Switch)*
- Dragon Ball: Xenoverse 2 (PS5)*

This week will probably be a wish list sale purchase week once I get paid as I don't have any other new releases on the horizon.

Picked up plenty of wish list titles on sale this week as well as a few others. I actually missed out on a couple of sale items as well, but they'll go on sale again at some point.

With the recent changes to the Backloggery site, I'm still working out the best way to handle adding new games to the collection that don't count against the backlog or progress, so it's a tough call on this week's progress. At best, I'd say I broke even.

New Titles:
- AMANATSU ~Perfect Edition~ (Steam)
- Banner of the Maid + DLC (PS4)
- Blossom Tales: The Sleeping King (Switch)
- Blossom Tales II: The Minotaur Prince (Switch)
- Cthulhu Saves Christmas (PS5)
- Picross S Namco Legendary Edition (Switch)
- Puzzle by Nikoli S Numberlink (Switch)
- Terra Memoria (PS5)
- The Quintessential Quintuplets - Five Memories Spent With You (PS4)
- The Quintessential Quintuplets - Memories of a Quintessential Summer (PS4)
- Touhou Mystia's Izakaya (Switch)
- Violet Wisteria (PS5)

Progress:
- Beat Picross S Namco Legendary Edition
- Beat and 100%'d Secret of Mana (Vita)
- 100%'d Puzzle by Nikoli S Numberlink

Nothing on the radar for this week, so I can focus on finishing up more of Picross S Namco Legendary Edition while I aim to get started on my next game recording project.

Good week this week as I cleared out some quick double-dip titles while testing some things on the new Backloggery page while making steady progress on some unplayed/unfinished ones.

New Titles:
- TEVI (PS5)

Progress:
- Beat and 100%'d Sakura Nova (PS5)
- 100%'d Sakura Swim Club (PS5)
- Beat and 100%'d Habroxia (Vita)
- Beat and 100%'d Sakura Succubus 7 (PS5)
- Beat and 100%'d Habroxia (PS5)

So why replay Habroxia twice? For the Vita version, I thought it shared its trophy stack with the PS4 version for the longest time then, when I realized that wasn't the case, it was a quick and fun replay. Then I saw the PS5 version had an entirely different trophy stack that was a bit more challenging but still pretty fun.

I'm nearing my 420th Platinum trophy on PSN, and decided that the one for Undertale would be perfect for the meme, so I'm working on my first playthrough of that and should finish that in the next day or two. Also expecting to finish Picross S Namco Legendary Edition by mid-week.

No expected new releases this week either, but there are some wish list titles on sale for when I get paid that I'll likely pick up.

Good week this week as I picked up some wish list titles on sale that aren't counting against the backlog, so it was pure progress.

New Titles:
- Octopath Traveler (PS4&PS5)*
- Sunny Café (PS4&PS5)*
- Nephenthesys (PS4&PS5)*

Progress:
- 100%'d Picross S Namco Legendary Edition (Switch)
- Beat Undertale (PS4)
- Beat and 100%'d Nephenthesys (PS5)

Been heavily focused on playing through the PC version of Ys VI on stream for that project and hope to finish it up this week (after tons of grinding for the superboss) and am casually playing through Blossom Tales: The Sleeping King for "on-the-go." I'll aim to get the remaining endings on Undertale too.

Nothing on the horizon for this week, so we'll see what pops up.

Another good week as new titles were either duplicates or expansion packs, which don't count against the backlog while I was able to finish up several others.

New Titles:
- Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak (PS4&PS5)*
- Disney Illusion Island: The Mystery in Monoth (Switch)*
- Kanon (Steam)*

Progress:
- Beat and 100%'d Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim (Steam)
- Beat and 100%'d Blossom Tales: The Sleeping King (Switch)
- 100%'d Undertale (Switch)
- Beat and 100%'d Xenosaga Freaks (PS2)

Nothing on the horizon for this week in terms of new releases, but there are always wish list titles on sale to pick up once I get paid. Also taking some time to do a casual Four Job Fiesta run of Final Fantasy V for this year.

This week was simply crazy. I picked up a few titles, finished a few others, then just started going ham on one particular game's many DLC packs.

New Titles:
Paycheck + Wish List Sale time:
- Braid, Anniversary Edition (PS5)*
- Another World Mahjong Girl (PS4 & PS5)*
- Pretty Girls Escape (PS4 & PS5)*
- Astrune Academy (PS4 & PS5)
- QUALIA ~The Path of Promise~ (Switch)*
- Love Elysium: Secret of the Goddess (Switch)*
- planetarian: Snow Globe (Switch)
- Betty's Brawl (PS5)*
- Tsukihime: A Piece of Blue Glass Moon (Switch)*
- Tsukihime: A Piece of Blue Glass Moon (PS4)
- SPY x ANYA: Operation Memories (PS4&PS5)

Progress:
- Beat and 100%'d FX Unit Yuki: The Henshin Engine (Switch)
- Beat and 100%'d Pretty Girls Escape (PS5)
- 100%'d Betty's Brawl
- Beat and 100%'d Sunny Cafe (PS5)
- 100%'d planetarian: Snow Globe
- Beat and 100%'d Another World Mahjong Girl (PS5)
- 100%'d Groove Coaster Wai Wai Party!!!! - Vocaloid Pack 1 (Switch)

Also Beat the following DLC packs from Groove Coaster Wai Wai Party!!!!:
- Original Pack
- Touhou Project Arrangements Pack 2
- Lanota Pack
- hololive Pack
- Original Pack 2
- Vocaloid Pack 6
- Touhou Project Arrangements Pack 3

For Groove Coaster's DLC, I'm counting each pack Beaten after clearing each song once, and Complete after finishing all of its Missions not related to Titles (much like I did with the main game). The packs with the Navigators I want to unlock first will be my "on the go" priority for a bit while I aim to knock out another quick console title of two before Thursday as that's when I aim to start recording my next main Let's Play.

Another week of crazy progress as I found a good system to play through and unlock the things that I want from each of the Groove Coaster DLC packs (Navigator, Avatar, and G Coin missions as the Title-related ones are not worth the time), so I finished up another bunch of those and would still be working on them if not for another project.

New Titles:
- The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak (PS5)

Progress:
- Beat and 100%'d Under Night In-Birth II Sys:Celes (PS5)

Beat and/or 100%'d the following DLC Packs for Groove Coaster Wai-Wai Party!!!!:
- Vocaloid Pack 6
- Undertale Pack
- Touhou Project Arrangements Pack 1
- Original Pack 2
- hololive Pack
- Dempagumi.inc Pack
- Original Pack
- Lanota Pack
- Touhou Project Arrangements Pack 2
- Vocaloid Pack 2
- Touhou Project Arrangements Pack 3
- Vocaloid Pack 3
- hololive Pack 2
- DJMAX Respect Pack
- Touhou Project Arrangements Pack 4
- Vocaloid Pack 4
- Hit Song + VTuber Pack
- Muse Dash + Misc Pack
- Touhou Project Arrangements Pack 5

Not even halfway done with all of those DLC packs either. But I'm taking a break from those to finally start and play through Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna - The Golden Country so it will be my 2,900th Complete on Backloggery. That also gives me time to focus on a couple of recording projects that are replays of previously-completed games.

Nothing on the horizon for new releases right now.

Made great progress this week as I played through what became my 2,900th Complete on Backloggery, then jumped right back into the ongoing project to play all of the DLC packs for Groove Coaster.

New Titles:
- Tohou: New World - Gensokyo Dreaming (PS4&PS5 DLC)*
- MEGATON MUSASHI W: WIRED (PS5)*

Progress:
- Beat and 100%'d Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna - The Golden Country (Switch)

Beat and 100%'d the following DLC Packs for Groove Coaster:
- WACCA+HARDCORE TANO*C Pack
- Vocaloid Pack 5
- Original Pack 3
- Hit Song + VTuber Pack 2
- Arcaea + Misc Pack
- Original Pack 4
- Touhou Project Arrangements Pack 6
- D4DJ Groovy Mix+Game Song Pack
- Original Pack 5
- Hit Song + VTuber Pack 3
- Original Pack 6
- Game Song Pack

Hoping to finish those DLC packs this week, especially if I can keep clearing them during doggo fetch sessions. Otherwise I've been making steady progress on Gensokyo Dreaming while doing behind-the-scenes work to continue recording Aurica's route events for my Ar tonelico Let's Play. Should finish both of those this week.

NES Championship is due out this week IIRC so I'll be looking forward to that while other wish list items that I didn't get last week will still be on sale when I get paid again so those can wait a bit longer.

A very productive gaming week as I finished up multiple projects.

New Titles:
- Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition (Switch)
- Jeanne d'Arc (PS4&PS5)*

Progress:
- Beat and 100%'d Touhou: New World - Gensokyo Dreaming (PS5)
- Beat and 100%'d the 14 remaining DLC packs on Groove Coaster Wai-Wai Party!!! (Switch)

Also finished up another FF5 Four Job Fiesta Run and recording for Aurica's route on Ar tonelico. As such, I actually have no clue what I'm going to play through next. No planned pickups or new releases this week either as I'm waiting until I get paid. So I may return to Xenoblade 2's New Game Plus and/or work on recording for Ys: The Oath in Felghana if I don't make progress on some planned writing arcs.

A full, eventful gaming week as I took the time to clean up a long-standing project I should have done years ago.

New Titles:
- Tokyo Xanadu eX+ (Switch)*

Progress:
- Beat and 100%'d Sakura Alien (PS4 & PS5)
- Beat and 100%'d Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Challenge Mode/DLC/New Game Plus Content (Switch)
- Beat and 100%'d Sakura Alien 2 (PS5)
- Beat and 100%'d Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition (Switch)

Going to have a big influx of wish list sale games once I get paid later on this morning, but I'm currently unaware of new releases for this week off the top of my head. As a means of passing time this weekend due to being too sick to record, I started Vampire Survivors on Switch and will likely continue with that for my "on-the-go."

I ended up being sick for a good chunk of last week and wasn't able to get to all of my planned projects, but I did pick up wish list titles on sale and made positive progress.

New Titles:
- Ancient Phantasma (PS4&PS5)
- Crypt of the NecroDancer + DLC (PS4)*
- Koi-Koi: Love Blossoms (PS5)*
- Pretty Girls Escape PLUS (PS4&PS5)*
- Rainbow Cotton (PS4&PS5)
- SaGa Emerald Beyond (PS4&PS5)
- Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy (PS4)*
- Muv-Luv Remastered (Switch)*
- Muv-Luv Alternative Remastered (Switch)*
- Popful Mail (Switch)*
- Golf With Your Friends (Steam)*

Progress:
- Beat and 100%'d Pretty Girls Escape PLUS (PS5)
- Beat and 100%'d Vampire Survivors (Switch)

Currently continuing with the DLC for Vampire Survivors so I can finish that up. On a whim, I decided to try and get back to Ys Origin on PS4 to finish grinding out its Platinum, including completing Boss Rush on Nightmare, but potential game crashes when selecting Retry have affected the incentive for that again.

Expecting a couple of new releases this week, so I'll take them as they come.

Will go ahead and mark this is a typical week as I picked up a few titles with not all of them counting against the backlog and made some good casual progress.

New Titles:
- Fate/Stay Night Remastered (Steam)*
- Fate/Stay Night Remastered (Switch)
- Ys (Switch)*
- Ys II (Switch)*
- Sixtar Gate: STARTAIL - Oshiribeat Pack (Switch)*

Progress:
- Beat Vampire Survivors - Legacy of the Moonspell (Switch)
- Beat and 100%'d Ys: The Oath in Felghana (Steam)

Was hoping my copy of Cat Quest III would arrive this past week, but it should arrive today. Otherwise I'm in a very chill gaming mood in once again replaying Dragon Quest Builders (Steam version) while replaying Ar nosurge Plus on Vita to record a Let's Play for it. I'll likely continue working on the Vampire Survivors DLC for "on-the-go" as well.

Light gaming week this week as I broke even while focusing on some other projects.

New Titles:
- Cat Quest III (PS5)
- Katawa Shoujo (Steam)

Progress:
- Beat and 100%'d Dragon Quest Builders (Steam)

Aiming to focus on recording my current main Let's Play over the next couple of weeks as I want to have it done before my annual birthday vacation next month. So casual gaming will likely be limited to "on-the-go" during doggo time or some cleanup games while videos render.

Nothing on the radar for new releases this week, but I may pick up some wish list titles that are on sale and will also end before I get paid again.

An even lighter gaming week this week as I neither obtained anything new nor did I beat anything. I took it easy and messed around on some Rando seeds and the free build mode in Dragon Quest Builders while focusing on writing and making some progress on recording my main Let's Play. That will remain my focus when time permits as I just have to survive a long week at work first.

But I do get paid later this week and have some wish list items on sale as well as expecting Visions of Mana, so I may well end up with negative progress for the first time in a while unless I knock out a quickie or two.
