Nick Quest! Why? Because I made it and I am oh so proud of it.

Day 17: Favorite Cinematic

While not a CGI "cinematic" scene... the events that Zidane goes through in Terra, as well as the party rallying to support him, gets me everytime. The music, the dialogue. I just love it.

Emotional post incoming. I transferred to my original server, Bahamut. My old character name is unavailable due to being hacked over a decade ago.
I lost my mom in 2010 and decided to try her old character name out of curiosity and it worked. So now I'm fully going to carry the legacy with me.

Also crude D&D memes are my love language.

My dog has been resting in my arm for about the last hour. So yeah I won't be moving until she is ready, this may be my last will and testament.

Day 15: Overrated Game

I'm gonna catch heat for this one I'm sure. Ivalice was an amazing setting, the game was beautiful, the gameplay was fun... But by far and large, the overall story and cast were complete duds for me. What about all of you?

Cursed Christmas meme dump from my Discord. I love my group of degenerates. Happy Holidays!

How do I choose one. 😭

I'll go with my current listening obsession. I loved the original back in the day and was pumped at the stealth release. It was a flawed title but the music is SO good.

I've played countless titles like Harvest Moon/Rune Factory over the years. My farm has always been function over form. Stardew Valley changed that. I'm proud of my setup and wanted to share it.

Four Corners Farm, lots of love and effort put into it. Vanilla game, no mods.

Day 14: Favorite Class or Fighting Style

Red Mage (RDM) has the best drip of all time! But also I love playing support or tank. A truly good support is like the grease that makes the machine run perfectly. You barely even notice it with how smooth everything goes.

Day 13: Best Voice Acting

Far and away has to be FFXVI. Ben Starr's work as Clive Rosfield was out of this world. The emotion he was able to evoke in those lines was nothing short of powerful. I think this was the most times I've cried throughout a game ever

Day 12: Most Annoying Character

This was an easy one. Nelsha from Thousand Arms. Every moment that she speaks is like nails on a chalkboard for me. I tried using her once and immediately regretted it.

Day 11: Comfort Game

I mean, can you do any better than Stardew Valley? I can live comfortably from farming, function off 4 hours of sleep, fight monsters in caves, make friends, help my community, pet my dog, and oust corporations. What's not to love?

Day 10: Underrated Game

Well hot damn I just posted about this! Bugsnax was an incredible experience, just finished it last night. Solid 9/10--amazing writing, solid music, and fun/unique gameplay mechanics. Short game with high replayability, which is exactly my jam. A criminally underrated title!
December 20, 2024 at 3:44 PM
My GOD. I finished Bugsnax for the first time and what a wild ride. The sheer whiplash I feel from the twists is the biggest I've felt from a game in years.

9/10, incredible experience. Fun, unique gameplay, great writing, great music. Exactly what I want when I try a totally new game or IP.

Day 9: Favorite Antagonist

Ardyn, hands down. He had constant presence from early in the story, and his reveal was a great slow-burn. As a villain he had solid motivation, and is one of the few baddies to damn near follow through on his plans. The fight was also rough when underleveled.

Morning D&D Opinion:

I love custom mechanics. Experienced players can often meta some little things here or there and pick up on what you're doing. But if I throw in something I made up, I get 'em thinking.

A game everyone should play at lesat once in their lifetime?

Final Fantasy Tactics had such a profound impact on me. Its story is such a journey, and pulled off such great layers of intrigue and politics. Though buggy with rough localization, it was an incredible title in its own right.

Day 8: Favorite Protagonist

... I admit to some personal bias here. Nick Quest is a game I made with RPG Maker MV in 2019; I did heavy revisions in 2022-23 when my vision for the game changed. It's a quirky old-school RPG with a lot of heart, engaging combat, and some bang-up dialogue (per reviews)
December 18, 2024 at 3:59 PM
Day 7: Favorite Multiplayer or MMO

I already used FFXI so I'll go with another. Secret of Mana is a game I played since my youth, and I love it to this day. I used to haul my SNES to a friend's house on weekends and we would sit down and marathon it together. Great music and gameplay, classic story

Day 6: Best World Building

By far and away Gaia is one of my favorite settings in a game. I love how unique each region is, the cool twist with Terra late-game, airships, Eidolons... just about everything in this setting ticks a box for me. It has a castle with a giant sword in it. Need I say more?

Day 5: Game That Deserves a Remake

I have played--and got The World ending--on Ogre Battle last year, settling a 27 year gaming vendetta. Loved it as a kid. But a remake with some QoL changes, and better explanation of systems like Morality and Charisma, would enhance its already great replay value
