About Kenneth Rasmussen
I've been playing video games since roughly around the time I developed the cognitive function to do so.
I do not claim to know everything about every game, but I am always willing to learn.
Proudest Gaming Achievement
Whenever I find a game that I can 100% over and over again. It's not the biggest achievement in the grand scheme of things, and doing it too often can become dull. Still, I take pleasure coming back to them every now and again.
So far, the only games I have experienced this with are the Wii-based Poképark duology, and South Park: The Stick of Truth. Coincidentally, both of these games place an emphasis on getting as many friends as possible.
Favorite Games
Anything with a cast of characters I like. Genres of game that tend to emphasize the various characters, like fighting games and RPGs, can find me among their fans.
Examples of recent favorites include Hades, Unicorn Overlord, and the greater Ace Attorney franchise as a whole.
Hades is a roguelike, but does such a fun job of implementing the various characters you encounter. While Zagreus continually tries to escape the underworld, you see the cast grow and develop, and they become essential to showcasing how things change with each escape.
Unicorn Overlord is a bit more compact with its characterization, but the cast is decently varied. It's fun to mix and match party members, and watch them grow a rapport with one another.
While I am not as into mystery novels, Ace Attorney won me over in part because of how entertaining the characters can be. Whether we're talking about entertaining leads like Phoenix and Maya, or the various supporting casts in each game, there are always a lot of entertaining figures to go along with the series' brand of humor.
Favorite Console
The Steam Deck. It is essentially a prebuilt gaming PC with the controls designed to resemble a console.
This sort of console is a great investment for someone who wants to play steam games without punishing a previously utilized computer.
I wish it had better functionality when it comes to certain games the platform hosts, but with its versatility and alleviation of most hangups PC gamers would have, it is probably the best console I can think of.
The Nintendo Switch is pretty great too.
