đŽ Where's My Controller?
- I had to reinstall my computer this week and with that came my upgrade to the latest build of Windows 10 LTSC. I have not tried to play Spider-Man Remastered, but I will. In the meantime however, I've gotten into completing Xenoblade Chronicles. I've started with the first one, and I'm trying to get it completed before Bayonetta 3 comes out next month.
đI don't know what a pen looks like.
- Okay this was an eventful week. I was forced to reinstall my windows operating system this week. I backed up most of my stuff. However, I had to do a fresh install of my production software, so I decided to take some extra time to improve some parts of the upcoming video I'm doing for Blue Reflection.
