I wanted a #dragonage tattoo for years. Something not instantly recognizable though & the red lyrium dagger from #veilguard "spoke" to me. I'm corrupted myself 🤪 so I decided it's a good fit for my first tattoo. And yes, I'm already planning for a few more 🤣 I'm extremely happy with the result
With 2025 coming to a close I can look back at what was a pretty good gaming year for me personally.
My #1 GOTY definitely is #Anno117, with both #ACShadows & #Battlefield6 rounding out my personal top 3.
The only thing missing was a strong narrative-driven title resonating with me.

And in case you haven't played it, go play Lost Odyssey. One of the best and most underappreciated games of that console generation in my opinion

While I'm not 100% anti AI as it does have sensible uses, I hate that it's bleeding into creative work done by artists. This, unfortunately, is the new norm. 😑

It's a shame Anno 117 didn't end up bagging any nominations at the game awards. I hope they get the recognition they deserve somewhere else.

I can safely say that #Anno117 is my personal game of the year 2025.
For a while I figured it would be Assassin's Creed Shadows or Battlefield 6 (had/having a great time with them), but Anno is exactly what I need now. ❤️

Maybe it's an unpopular opinion, but I feel like with the current success of Battlefield the match quality suffers hard. The lobbies are full of CoD-people that don't know how to play the objective 😩 I also play CoD (& love it) but it's a whole different world. It's so annoying 😩😩😩
