So, as is tradition, I present the list of games I finished playing in 2025. Looking forward to more backlog clearing in 2026, though it'll probably just get bigger as more games come out. *sigh*

Just came back to wish a Merry Christmas to anyone who might stumble across this. You know, since I hardly post on social media anymore.

Just got a new pair of glasses. Trying progressive lenses for the first time and they’re gonna take some getting used to. I feel hopeful, though. God, I hate getting old.

There’s something ironic about cars labeled “parking enforcement” being parked in a double-lined divide.

Big? Really? It’s like “fun size” but now they’re just straight up lying to me.

I told you we’d be back

This is a boring ass post. Sorry.

They’re not even being subtle about it now

Got a new soprano saxophone for my birthday. It’s been a long time since I played a reed instrument, but it’ll be fun to get back into it. Might dig out my trumpet as well, just so I can de-rust my skills there, too.

So, I'm 45 now. That's a thing that happened today.

Am I weird for imagining preparing to order dessert at the Cheesecake Factory and, instead of my usual server, Eddie Izzard comes up to my table, dressed in a Cheesecake Factory uniform, and demands, "You! Cheesecake or death!"

And now it's gone. Tried to log in for the first time since the takeover and now TikTok says my email address isn't registered. Oh, well. I didn't really want it anyway.

It's that time of year again. Time to go over the games I completed (or just finished playing) in 2024. Here's to completing more of the backlog in 2025!

I did it. Mega Man X8 is done and that's the entire Mega Man X franchise before the year's end.

@AshPaulsen How it's going so far: "Burn to the ground! Burn to the-! BURN! BURN! Burn to th-! BURN! BURN! WHOOO! Burn to the ground! Burn to th-! BURN! BURN! Triangle formation! WHOO!" Yeah, I can see why it's so hated.

I’ve decided that I’m going to finish the entire Mega Man X series before the year ends. I’ve already finished X1 through X6. Wish me luck, @AshPaulsen. You know what’s coming next.

Finished Xenoblade Chronicles: Future Connected today. It is done. Finally going back to Octopath Traveler, but I’ll be sprinkling in some Actraiser Renaissance as well. Maybe start playing Okami for the first time while I’m at it.

I’ve got a fever, but it’s alright ‘cause I got one of these.

And here's my 2024 Steam Replay while I'm at it.

Doesn't look like a lot of hours, but for me, this is a lot considering that I spread my gaming across a lot of platforms.
