The month of October was a very productive month for my backlog assassination. I’m moving soon and my PC has been packed so I was only able to play on my Steam Deck for nearly the entire month. This prevented me from streaming on Twitch and playing certain games, but also forced me to play some games that I otherwise wouldn’t have. I’m writing this post on mobile so I will not be as detailed as I have been before.

I was able to beat 11 games in October, and I managed to get 100% achievements in 7 of those games. All of the games except for one of them, Lil Gator Game, were part of the October PAGYWOSG event.

Games I beat in October: LEGO® DC Super-Villains, Costume Quest, Maid of Sker, and Terror of Hemasaurus

Games I 100% completed in October: Void Scrappers, Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair, Human Resource Machine, Lil Gator Game, There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension, Pinball Spire, and Machinarium

I enjoyed most of them but I didn’t really care for Costume Quest, Maid of Sker, or Terror of Hemasaurus. I still finished them but I had no interest in cleaning up remaining achievements. Pinball Spire and Void Scrappers were better than I expected.

So far in November I have completed two games with 100% achievements but I will cover those in a separate post at/after the end of the month. By then I will have moved from Massachusetts to Connecticut and I’ll be back on my PC. Take care, assassins!

Mostly just played Rocket League and BattleBit Remastered this month which is nothing new, but I did play some new stuff and revisited some older games for extra achievements. I also replayed Sonic Mania, and did some speedruns of the first level. It would have been nice to do more but I am preparing to move so not as much time for gaming.

Who Muted Uncle Marcus? is a FMV game where you need to solve the mystery of who poisoned Uncle Marcus. I expected it to be cringe but it’s actually pretty funny. I wouldn’t call it a “fun” game but it was a nice experience. I had beaten it before but I revisited the game to get the many achievements I was missing.

I don’t care for visual novels, but at least the achievements are easy to get. I used a guide to get 100% in Magi Trials. Visuals suck, story sucks.

Tried the new skate. game, but it seemed to interfere with my streaming software so I ended up uninstalling it. Then it was included in this week’s Alienware Arena Steam Quests so I just idled the game for an extra hour. I do want to play it some more, but if it keeps messing with my streams I am going to uninstall again.

Tried Luck be a Landlord and it felt like I did pretty good for my first attempt. It’s a decent slot machine-based roguelike. I really enjoyed Balatro (got 100% on mobile) and when I heard this game was an inspiration for the Balatro developer I knew I had to try it. Will most likely be revisiting it, but probably not going to go for 100%.

Pinball Spire seems good, but I got interrupted while playing it so I don’t have much to say about it.

Umamusume: Pretty Derby has a good art style but I didn’t enjoy the gameplay. Maybe it gets good eventually but I’ll probably never play it again.

I guess I should make my first post since I started using this site in 2018. I will just recap my BLAEO activities for last month, which was August 2025.

• I got 100% achievements in Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Dry Twice as my PAGYWOSG game for the month, after getting 100% in Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Don’t Die for PAGYWOSG in July. I tried to avoid using guides as much as possible but I did get a little bit of help from time to time.
• I beat Refunct which was kinda mid. It was short so I decided to try 100% but I ended up giving up. There were 2 speedrun achievements and the second one was too difficult for me. I could have done it with more planning and practice but I didn’t enjoy the game enough to put in that effort.
• I also started a game called Boti: Byteland Overclocked and beat the first level. The voice acting was okay but the movement was slow and I didn’t really care for it. Disappointing, probably not gonna beat this one.

This past month I revisited many games with varying levels of success. Here are their stories.

• Mail Mole is a game I started back in 2022 and nearly beat, but I lost interest and moved on with my life. Last month I went back to this game and started a new save file. I managed to 100% the game, which would have been pretty easy if not for the speedrun achievements. Some levels were easy to get gold medal times on but a few were quite difficult.
• Another game I revisited after giving up in 2022 is de Blob but I unfortunately did not beat 100% it like the other games I mentioned. In fact, I still haven’t beaten the game at all. I am still working on it and I am determined to beat it this month, but I will not be going for 100% on this one.
• Super Sami Roll is another one I revisited from, you guessed it, 2022! I didn’t beat it then, and I didn’t beat it now. I continued from my previous save file this time and beat a few extra levels. The physics kinda suck and I only have enough patience to play for short periods at a time. Will I eventually beat the game? Maybe. Will I get 100% achievements? Unlikely. Either way, I am not giving up on this game just yet.
• Come on Baby! is a weird minigame game that I first played in 2023. I managed to get one more achievement but I think I am finally going to give up for good. I beat most of the Summer minigames except for one that I don’t think I will be able to overcome. Unfortunately the Winter games are locked until you beat the Summer ones so I am stuck.
• Finally we have Smushi Come Home, a wholesome 3D Platformer that I 100% completed in 2023. But if I already got all the cheevos, why did I load it up again? Well, it’s because the devs updated the game and added 3 more achievements, stealing away one of my completed games! I ran into a glitch when talking to NPCs that made things a bit more difficult than they should’ve been. The text boxes were being automatically skipped so I was unable to read what they wanted me to do! Despite this I was able to figure out where to go and what to do, reclaiming my 100%
