So, I've seen other folks list their completed games, so I figured I may as well join in. Systems and replays will be marked accordingly.
Games I've Beaten in 2025:
1) Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles (Switch 2)
My first time with this strategy masterpiece. Relevant as it is deep.

So I'm getting back into the habit of penning Backloggd reviews for games I'm playing. You can read my latest in #LilGatorGame (★★★★☆)

Trump's constant degradation of female reporters is unsurprising but the press corps' collective decision to treat it as background noise is actually kind of sickening

Ain't no way Bluesky moderation banned dril over an Epstein shitpost.
This is pre-Musk Twitter levels of inept moderation, and even that hellsite's out-of-touch staff never displayed contempt for its userbase as seen with the Singal saga. Pathetic.

bezos and the post is yet another reminder that it's impossible to have billions of dollars and operate in the public interest at the same time. nobody with that kind of money got it by looking out for other people or putting the common good first. that's why it's so antithetical to journalism

If you’re a billionaire why are you paying professionals money to make people believe you are good at a videogame? How the fuck did that seem like a good idea? Take a hundred mil and buy the rights to Thief and Deus Ex and make sequels, you can do that, have a fucking dream dumdum create something

You know how you drop off games for a while and, upon returning, you find yourself wondering who's who?
Case in point: who is this middle-aged weirdo and why is he trapezing around in a student outfit? #PokemonScarlet

You now get to add pedophile to the list, isn't that wild.
People cried on camera about getting rude comments for playing the transphobic pedophile wizard game.
It became the offramp to fascism for many streamers.

Good morning!
February marks the 10th anniversary of Stardew Valley. I had the great pleasure of speaking to ConcernedApe ahead of the occasion about the last ten years and his plans for the future. It's a nice long one, please enjoy:

maybe this time we can finally internalize that anyone who whines about stuff like “sjws” or “wokeness” is either doing so because they have fucked up motives or because they listen to too many people who do
crazy that basically every person complaining about "woke overreach" over the last 12 years is also in the epstein emails being like "thanks for the pussy, jeff ;)"

Been reading the reviews and...yeah, not feeling how they've sanded off DQ7's friction. I don't mind full-restore level ups, but after-battle revivals? Truncated dungeons? Huh?
I'll still play it, of course, but I think the 3DS remake will remain the definitive version.

I've been playing the Dragon Quest VII remake and while it's lovely to look at, the lack of challenge is a problem. Dead party members revive after battles, there are healing statues before every boss, and you restore HP on level-ups (unlike DQ1-3 HD, you can't toggle this off). No friction at all
