Lets Play Dungeon Crawler Torchlight Part 19

 

Hey there, adventurers! Welcome back to part 19 of my Torchlight playthrough, aka the series where I repeatedly wander into dark dungeons, pick up way too much loot, and pretend I know what I’m doing. Torchlight is still one of my all-time favorite dungeon crawlers. It’s got everything: epic loot, endless dungeons, and the constant reminder that I have zero self-control when it comes to inventory management. Seriously, why do I always carry 47 swords instead of one good one?

In this episode, we’re going even deeper underground, because clearly, my hero has no sense of self preservation. Expect more monsters, more explosions, and probably me yelling “NOOOO!” when I forget to heal at the worst possible time. 

Oh, and my pet will continue to be the real MVP, hauling my junk back to town while I pretend it was totally part of my strategy.

So grab your potions, sharpen your weapons, and mentally prepare for some dungeon chaos. This is part 19, at this point I’m either becoming a legend or just really good at respawning.

Lets Play Gourdlets a Cute Cozy Game from AuntyGames

Hi friends! So today we’re diving into Gourdlets, a cozy city builder game from the delightful folks at AuntyGames and let me tell you… I think I might need an intervention, because I'm absolutely addicted, send help or snacks, preferably both.

If you don’t know what Gourdlets is, imagine this: a regular city builder game with roads, parks, buildings, the whole deal. Now, throw in some adorable little creatures that look like pumpkins crossed with marshmallows. These little guys just waddle around, living their best lives, judging my urban design skills. Seriously, every time I misplace a tree, I swear one of them gives me side-eye. Tiny, judgy, pumpkins.

And wanna know the best part? It’s a no-stress game. No timers, no enemies, no disasters. It’s just you, your creativity, and a bunch of little gourd folk who seem perfectly happy to hang out no matter how questionable your city planning choices are. Which is great for me, because I once built a town in Pharaoh that had twelve fire stations, and ten Architects and zero bazaars, priorities!

Now, I thought I’d just hop on for “five minutes” to test it out. and suddenly I’ve built a park that could rival Central Park, a waterfront promenade, and a suspiciously large number of benches. Do the Gourdlets even sit on benches? I don’t know. But you bet your cozy little pumpkin butt that they have the option.

So, come play Gourdlets with me, because it’s wholesome chaos in the best way just be prepared to lose hours of your life while these tiny veggie people steal your heart.

Lets Play Dungeon Crawler Torchlight Part 18

Hi friends! Grab your potions and stuff that backpack until it screams, because we’re heading into Part 18 of Torchlight, one of my favorite dungeon crawlers of all time. Eighteen parts. Yeah, we’ve been at this so long that if Torchlight were a Netflix series, we’d be waiting for the renewal announcement by now.

Torchlight is one of those games where you go in thinking, “Okay, I’ll just play for a little bit, kill a few goblins, maybe loot a chest or two.” Then suddenly, three hours later, your pet wolf is running back to town to sell off the 47 rusty swords you’ve hoarded because you swear you might need one of them someday. Spoiler: you won’t.

But here we are, still crawling through this endless labyrinth like IKEA customers looking for the exit. Except instead of meatballs at the end, we get fire breathing dragons, skeletons and questionable magical jewelry.

So buckle up, sharpen your axe, and don’t forget to feed your pet because if there’s one thing Torchlight teaches us, it’s that fighting hordes of monsters is cool, but having a dog who can run errands for you? That’s priceless.

Lets Play Twinkle Star Sprites From SNK (Retro Gaming)

Hi! Today we’re playing Twinkle Star Sprites, a retro fever dream SNK decided to relaunch just to test my reflexes and patience. This game looks all cute and glittery at first, like “aww, magical girls throwing sparkles”, but five seconds in, it’s pure chaos. It’s like Mario Kart if everyone ditched their karts and started firing rainbow death lasers.

You’ve got fireballs, you’ve got counter-attacks, you’ve got screen-filling explosions that make you question whether you’re actually winning or just slowly ascending into another dimension and the best part? You can get totally annihilated by a character who looks like they belong on a third grader’s sticker sheet. Humiliating and yet also adorable.

Grab your snacks, don’t blink, and watch me get turned into sparkling retro rubble.

Lets Play Torchlight Dungeon Crawler Part 17

Hi there, adventurers, loot-goblins, and people who accidentally sell their best gear to the shopkeeper! Guess what time it is? That’s right its part 17 of one of the most fun dungeon crawler games ever: Torchlight

Now, before you roll your eyes and say, “Seventeen? Isn’t that excessive?” let me stop you right there. Torchlight isn’t a game, it’s a lifestyle. At this point, I’m practically paying rent to these dungeons. I go in, fight off a small army of monsters, hoard loot like a dragon with commitment issues, and then do it all over again. If that’s not dedication I don’t know what is.

Torchlight is basically:


Step 1: Enter dungeon.

Step 2: Smash monsters until you forget what daylight feels like.

Step 3: Collect loot shiny enough to blind your neighbors.

Step 4: Realize your inventory is full and cry.


And with 17 parts in, you’d think I’d be some kind of legendary master but nope. I’m still getting ambushed by skeletons, walking straight into traps like I’m auditioning for a “fails” compilation, and drinking health potions like they’re pumpkin spice lattes in October and let’s not even talk about the barrels. Oh no. You think they’re harmless? Surprise! Half of them explode, and the other half are empty. I swear, Torchlight’s barrels have a personal vendetta against me.

But that’s the magic of it, every dungeon feels like a new episode of “How Many Ways Can I Accidentally Almost Die?” Spoiler: a lot.

So buckle up, grab your favorite snack, and let’s crawl back into the madness together.

Lets Play Cat Cafe Manager A Cozy Chill Game Part 4

Hi guys, welcome back! We’re jumping into part four of Cat Cafe Manager, the only game where my employees are cats, my customers are picky, and somehow I’m still allowed to run a business. It’s cozy, it’s cute, and also mildly stressful because if one more cat gives me side eye while I serve lattes, I might have to start paying them in tuna just to keep the peace. Anyway, let’s dive in and see if my cafe thrives… or if it turns into a hairball filled disaster.

Lets Play Grim Dawn Dungeon Crawler Part 8

Hi guys! Welcome back! It’s time for the eighth part of Grim Dawn. That’s right, I’ve spent so long in these dungeons I’m basically paying rent to the skeletons at this point. Grim Dawn is a fun dungeon crawler, which is just a polite way of saying: “You’re going to fight 10,000 zombies, loot 12,000 pairs of identical pants, and still somehow forget to upgrade your weapon.” But hey, it’s addictive! Nothing says “fun” like getting ambushed by an army of demons while you’re still trying to figure out if your new armor makes you look more “heroic warrior” or “confused tin can.” So grab your snacks, grab your potions, and let’s crawl through another dungeon together, because apparently I didn’t learn my lesson the first seven times.

Lets Play Cat Cafe Manager A Cozy Chill Game Part 3

Hi, welcome back! Today we’re playing the third part of Cat Cafe Manager, a cozy little game where you get to run a cafe full of cats. Basically, it’s like Starbucks, but with more purring and fewer corporate overlords. Now, running a cat cafe sounds wholesome, right? Warm drinks, happy customers, soft music. Except in reality it’s me desperately trying to balance making soup while a cat named Pickles decides the countertop is his new personal kingdom. Customers are like, “Excuse me, there’s fur in my sandwich,” and I’m like, “Yes, that’s called extra love, please leave a five-star review.” The best part is you can actually expand your cafe because nothing says cozy gaming like building an empire run entirely by creatures who ignore you 90% of the time. It’s like The Sims, but instead of watching people set the kitchen on fire, you’re watching cats knock things off shelves. So, grab something cozy to drink, maybe snuggle your own pet while we play.
