I've been mulling it over for a bit. Time for at least a six month break from what little Social Media I use. Maybe I make it until 2027? Scrolling's bad for me anyway.
I've always been radicaldefect on any platform you can think of (Discord, LINE, etc).
Answer despair with kindness. Take care.

Maybe 2026 is the year I finally beat Majora’s Mask on N64.

The perfect GIF to describe my mental health since the start of the new year:
a dog is standing under a blue blanket
Alt: A black dog walks face-first into its crate carrying the blue blanket that was on top of the crate with it. It lays down at the right end of the crate, completely submerged in the blanket it took with it.

…and every single one of us just gets to wake up and keep trying to live some semblance of our normal lives, despite everything.
All we have is each other. Keep pushing forward; don’t give into despair.
Empathy must prevail.

I've crunched the numbers wrt my video game habits since 2016. I can tell you what percentage of stuff I play that's new, old, abandoned, or otherwise for almost 10 years of my life now. I KNOW my tastes have changed.
Whoever's following me cuz I'm a giant goober, I hope you still enjoy the ride.

HERE THEY ARE, FRIENDS! My gaming maths of 2025:
I rolled credits on 94 games in 2025, and 60% of them were replays. 12 of the games I played actually *released* in 2025, and 2 of those were remasters.
I bought but didn't beat 26 games. 15 were bought on sale, 7 are retro games to be beaten later.

someone, SOMEWHERE needs to tell me why a literal Ocarina of Time replica—complete with Triforce engravings—is just hanging out to be played AT THE TASKMASTER HOUSE.

kind of wild that in the span of like 20 years we've circled all the way back around to "get a film camera and never post any photos of yourself or anyone else really online ever" being the most reasonable position

I’ve played every Mario Kart ever, and I have mixed opinions. I love some old & newer Sonic racing games, too.
Now that I’ve played through the game for the first time since ~1997, and I’m super close to the end, I’ll say this: For me, no racing game is better than Diddy Kong Racing on Nintendo 64.

On paper, 2025 was one of the worst years for me. But I also think about like...when I was a teen and genuinely felt subhuman, felt like I deserved nothing. Or worse.
I could spend the last few minutes of this year relieved that it's over. But I think I'm gonna spend them proud of who I am instead.

I've called them "the holidaze", because...I've worked in grocery for 17 years, and my relationship with my blood-relatives either does not exist or is tenuous.
Still grateful for everything I have & to be exactly where I am right now. But if you're struggling, I wish you comfort & self-compassion.

Rickmas is saved, thanks to one of my favorite YouTube channels. I would’ve waited patiently, but I was ONE RACE AWAY from earning the “holiday hat” when the event was pulled offline. 😂🥳
