63 games completed in 2025, I think that's the most I've done 😅 once I'm up and gaming again I'm hoping to finish one I started last year...
Happy New Year!

Time to track some game completions! I lost motivation to do this on the other side but figure here it could be fun! I won't divulge my thoughts on these games though as I'll save that for the future video!
