I worked far too many Black Fridays during my time at retail.
One Christmas I watched two people have a fistfight over a door buster they broke on the scuffle.
The next year someone camped out in front of the store for a week in a tent. Are thanksgiving dinner outside while we worked inside.

Hey everyone, early heads up, @50501oc.bsky.social is planning a boycott for Black Friday weekend through Cyber Monday, and I’ll be joining in. Feel free to participate and send a message to corporations who continue to bend the knee to fascism!

Kahless tells us that to face a new day, not knowing what challenges it may bring, is a fresh act of courage each morning. Arise tomorrow and raise your voice, tell the world a warrior has awoken, a true warrior who will bring this day honor and glory!

Ok I have one, inspired by an answer I gave.

You get transported to Eorzea for a day, and you meet you WoL in the flesh.
Are you friends? What do you do with them? Are they proud of you?

Day 25 - music that gets me pumped?
I play a mobile game called “NIKKE” - hot girls with guns in skimpy clothes. However, the game has a fantastic story and even better music. 10/10 recommend.
I really love this song, and it’s helped me hold on during this difficult year.

Alright, need to finish this. I mean, I guess not really, but quitting is for those AA types.
Day 24 is a fun one. “Ride the Rhythm” from FF 14.
I’ve been in the dance music scene since the 90s, when a DJ friend introduced me to other DJs.
Thoughts after the jump!

I’ve put off posting on this, but no more procrastinating!
Day 23 - underrated music.
My choice is the Dragon Quest theme. The series came to the West during the same period Final Fantasy did, but acheive the same popularity.
I really loved those games. 💕

Let me do, day 22!
I’m doing two bites of the apple here. The one I really want to use has heavy spoilers for FFXIV: Shadowbringers. I’ll put it after the jump.
So I chose Kakariko Village from Link to the Past for the spoiler minded. It’s nostalgic for me.

Day 20, I’m gonna do a doubleheader on this one.
My first choice is “Levitating” by Dua Lipa; I spent a lot of time in Forza Horizon 5, and the song plays pretty frequently.

Ok, because the thumbnail didn’t pop up on Day 19, it was Dr Wily from Mega Man 2 by the Consouls.
I love the original and the creativity of a funk remake while keeping the original vibe is just majic.

Back again with more music!
This cover first came to my attention through a different YouTuber, and I think it’s a brilliant adaptation of an amazing song. Have a listen!

Those who do not understand history are doomed to repeat it.
There are notable similarities between Germany 90 years ago and the United States today. I hope this resonates with some of you.

Day 18… I was trying to think of a good “Game Over” because they don’t really exist anymore.
But because of MGS: Delta, I immediately remember the hundreds of times I heard this theme. I chose MGS2 because I played it so many times the disc stopped reading 🤣

I’m pushing to 18, because the perfect songs popped into my head.
Day 17, Ezios Family.
I fell deeply in love with assassins creed, flawed as it was, and every year I was ready to 100% it. And then Ubisoft stuck their dick in it. The magic is gone.
The music remains.

Day 16.
This one took longer than I thought, the SNES is my “nostalgia console” where everything looks way better in my memory than it ever did on screen.
Now, an admission: I’ve never completed Chrono Trigger. I’ve played about an hour or so of it, and it didn’t hook me. But I know this song!

Doing Day 15 too in apology.
Also my ADHD brain plucked this from a corner of memory.
The best boss music? Why this one, of course.

If I’d kept up with it, I’d be finishing tomorrow.
Better late than never for Day 14!
Also the best time to finally pull out Final Fantasy 14. Friends, I could do this entire 30 day with just FF14 osts.
I’m picking my favorite song from Endwalker. The best song. The best version.
After jump.

Day 13, actually really difficult.
There aren’t many games I’ve disliked that I found memorable enough to remember their music.
I really do like this song. Too bad I get sick when I play FPS games.
