84. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Master Mode)
What a game. My second playthrough on Master Mode was just as good as my original back in 2017. Don't think it really added much more than tougher combat, so I wouldn't necessarily recommend it over the normal, but glad I can say I beat it.

82. PowerWash Simulator 2 (100%)
Been dealing with a ton of stress lately after 7 months of job searching and no luck and my savings being emptied. That said, this was nice to listen to D&D too while playing like the first. Very enjoyable and makes quite a few improvements over the first.

81. Keeper
I really like Double Fine, but I thought this game was incredibly boring. Had to fight myself not to fall asleep multiple times. I like the art but hate the boring puzzles and exploration.

76. Klonoa: Empire of Dreams
I love this series, and this game is great! At least, until the last few levels that randomly throw in some bullshit that really annoyed me. Regardless, Klonoa deserves more!

Having never played Skate before, I really like crashing and just leaving my character sitting in that spot, dead, for a long time.

74. Donkey Kong Bananza
Took me a while to work through this. Probably won't make my GotY list, but it's enjoyable. Rock version of gang plank galleon is awesome, though! Big fan of elephant form, snake form sucks.

70. Lego Batman 2 (100%)
The first game is much better than this, in my opinion. This one is more buggy and just doesn't work. Regardless, I'm in such a Batman mood right now i decided to focus on it lol

68. Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance (100%)
I still maintain that this game has the worst combat in the series, but it actually wasn't too bad to get the full completion on. Next, I will be finishing Aqua's .2 journey, and then it's time for another break from KH lol

I made a Mario in Mario Paint today on stream and totally forgot in the moment that his mustache is black instead of brown like his hair

65. Assassin's Creed Odyssey (100%)
Been working at this on and off for about 5 years, so I'm glad to have it done. This is my favorite AC game. It's so damn good (except for Layla because present-day AC stories always suuuuuck)

Dayseeker and Ice Nine Kills concert done. I'm a sweaty, sticky mess but so happy I got to see Dayseeker! They've quickly become one of my favorite bands this year!

61. Dead by Daylight (100% on Windows)
Did I need to get all the achievements in DbD on the Windows version after getting Xbox last year? No, but sometimes I set stupid goals for myself and can't stop until I see it through (i.e., Kingdom Hearts earlier this year)

My daughter turned 13 yesterday. Here's some photos of her when she was not that age. My baby girl is growing up!

58. Super Mario RPG
If I wasn't streaming this, there was no way I would have finished it. The mini-games, combat, and other little annoyances started to eat at me. There's a lot about this game I don't like. Paper Mario over this any day.

54. Rayman 3 HD
Not my favorite Rayman game. It is quite janky to play today, and I really dont like the reliance on score in a platformer. It's not a bad game by any means, but not that great. Also, sound mixing so you can understand what characters are saying? Never heard of it.

Hey, did you guys know that Mario Kart is fun? Probably not my favorite in the series, but it's enjoyable. Love the music, knockout tour is fun, who cares about the free roam, so many lame character selections. Hoping they have some good additions to this game coming.

42. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
As much as I love this game and think it deserves to be celebrated (especially the classic mode), I was never a big fan of World of Light and Spirits. What a grind and gauntlet. That said, it was a very epic finish. I'm glad I pushed through to finally see the end.
