I traditionally take the first of April off work so that I can hide in
my house and avoid April Fool's Day nonsense. That's less of an issue
now that my whole workplace is largely remote, but it's nice to have a
planned day all to yourself. So that your spouse can assign you work.

The Pinball: Simple 1500 Vol 11 (PSX) - Well, I bought it. I wish I
could say that I lovingly set up my JPN-region PS2 to play it, but I
just watched somebody else's Let's Play video of it first and never got
there. Disappointingly there's only two military-themed tables, but the physics seem nice and the rules seem to be pretty clear even if all the prompts and instructions are in Nihongo. I should go back to that game
store and pick up more of this stuff.

Lunar Remastered (PS5) - Are you kidding? In the States the PS5 disc is
a freaking Amazon exclusive. Worse, you can't pre-order it because they underallocated and will only let people order on release day. To quote
Engels, "Fuck that." I've gone and ordered the Asian-region version
which will present me with an English-language option and I don't care
if the English dub is there or not. Amazon gets no more business from
me.

Nothing game-related.

Yakuza: Like a Dragon (PC) - I think I'm increasingly being convinced
that (more overtly) RPG-ish Yakuza works for me. Though progress has
been quite slow due to the game tempting me by showing the side
missions on the map, so like with Yakuza 5, I can see this turning
into maybe a hundred-hour-plus job.

It doesn't help that I got completely sidetracked by wanting to max
out the management mode without using the DLC characters (despite
having bought a version which includes them). I suppose it's a fairly
basic business-themed puzzle game really, but I like the focus on
developing employees and juggling them around to fit the requirements,
and the way it features shareholder meetings as essentially boss
battles. The only problem is that it's like I just switched to playing
an entirely different game for a dozen hours.

It's always a blow when a pinball game fails to feature endless
military-themed tables. :-)

To play Psychonauts 2 (PC) somewhen, having bought that.
