It's fine, but I would have preferred Super Nintendo Switch.

I'm still plugging away at Metaphor ReFantazio, near the end of September.

Oh hey that's the same keyboard I have, I really like it.

My cheap ones had a lot of sound leakage too, the Shokz seem better, the material they're made of is less rigid so I think it that helps because the body of the headphones isn't vibrating as much.

Until Then is officially the first addition to my backlog in 2025!

TIL there was DLC for Origins. *Edit - Wait, never mind, I was thinking of Mirage, I knew about Origins.

Goddamn, you started the year off with some bangers. I love P5 so so much but I bounced off Strikers at like the second world.

Game of the Year: Final Fantasy VII Rebirth What can I say? It's the next epic installment in the FF7R series. It's got a little bit of open world busy-work, but overall it's a lot of fun, the characters are great, the adaptation is fantastic, it's everything I could have wanted. Runner-Up: Astro Bot Asobi did it again, with a full-sized 3D platformer good enough to challenge Mario. This game is such a delight, I'm sure I had a stupid grin on my face like 90% of the time I was playing it. Everything about it, from the way movement feels, to the visual style, to the love of Playstation's history, it's just such a delight. Honorable Mention: Helldivers II Like Sea of Stars last year, this game was totally not on my radar, and I don't generally go into multiplayer games, but this one is fun enough that it actually pulled me away from Persona 3 Reload, and I spent basically the entire month of February playing it. The only thing that broke its spell was the release of Rebirth.

End of the year wrap-up time! I beat 31 games this year, down from 54 last year. As always I only count games I beat for the first time this year. PC was far and away my most-played platform last year, with a whopping 87% of my games and 78% of my playtime. For the first time at least since the Switch released, I had no Nintendo games whatsoever. Xbox barely got in, because I was replaying the old Splinter Cell games and discovered I'd never played the Kola Cell DLC. Playstation won for longest average game because of the 3 games I played on the platform, one was FF7 Rebirth. All in all I'd say 2024 was a pretty decent year for games for me. Bring on 2025!

Gothic surf rock has a name, gothabilly, and it is my favorite genre name of all time.

Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes is $1.50 on Steam right now.

Even side by side I'd be a little surprised.

I don't think it'll be in my top 3, but I can't quite rule it out yet. Right now I have it at number 4 but I'm only like 6 hours in.

I need to finish Metaphor (or at least make more progress, cause let's be real I'm not finishing it before the end of the year) before I can make my list.

lol, I also bought the same GMG deal.
