FF Hyperfixation is having me go through the pixel remasters for platinums and was able to finish FF6 tonight

I was only mildly crashing out over getting Setzer's 777 trophy for a few hours

immediately working on 3 of the commanders i wanted to build, garnet is mostly complete while the other two are half cards i just had lying around for now

some additional pics/pulls from prereleases and collector pack, i think this release has been some of the happiest ive been playing tcgs, so much love and nostalgia for these cards man

even went 3-0 in one of the events playing dimir artifacts and flipping ultimecia twice

Awesome.

immediately read through the sequel and loved it more than the first book, definitely meant to be read as a pair

Also want to keep up with more movies this year

Watched Ne Zha 2 after the first was recommended to me on XHS and it was absolutely amazing

Followed through with finally watching Look Back and while it was short was really heartful

Ive been able to recover alot of free time lately and want to spend this year being a bit less brain rotted

Getting back into reading (this year for sure) with Days at the Morisaki Bookclub, incredibly cozy and short, will be starting the second book right away
