All done with FFX and FFX-2!! I thought I would be playing Hades 2 next, but turns out I’m still in the mood for more final fantasy, so I’ve moved onto FFIX instead. Really vibing with it so far

Had to jump on the bandwagon and play Clair Obscur before continuing with my backlog. I think everyone’s already said everything that needs to be said about this game, but I’ll definitely add in my voice to say this was one of the best RPGs I’ve played.

Ori and the Will of the Wisps, Baldur's Gate 3, Spiritfarer, I Was a Teenage Exocolonist. Honorable mentions to Elden Ring and Cyberpunk 2077, but they didn't emotionally affect me as much as the others.

Officially done now 💕
Excited to eventually play Octopath 2 since I've heard it's even better than the first, but for now, Final Fantasy X-2 is next up (then probably Clair Obscur after that). I'm in my turn-based era I guess

done with the next big step on my final fantasy journey! I liked 6 a lot, can see why it’s such a classic in the series. Not a contender for my favorite, but was definitely worth my time.

Annnnd finally I can rest. Easily one of the most fun and interesting games I've ever played, well worth every hour I spent in it.
Thanks so much to @dogubomb.bsky.social for making this game!! #BluePrince

This was one of my most satisfying gaming accomplishments in a hot minute. it felt so good to get these after 10+ hours of attempts, especially since the run wasn’t even going that well… until suddenly everything clicked together right at the end. I LOVE THIS GAME #BluePrince

My latest gaming win! I decided I couldn't wait for remake part 3 to find out how this ends. It ended up being a really charming game even though it's obviously very dated. Definitely worth my time (although I did use mods to bypass a lot of the painful grinds)

And done! I expected that I would only be playing FF7R for the story and not 100%ing it, but once I got into it, it was so fun that I didn't want to put it down.
On to Rebirth now! I've been told that 100%ing this one would be significantly more painful than it was for Remake, but we'll see...

yeah yeah, I know healing parses are cringe and all that, but on the other hand... making my logs page look like this is still really satisfying lol

Now that 2024 is over, here is a list of my personal favorite albums from each year going back to the first album I ever owned. 2024 was a close call between Deeper Well and Yesterwynde (Nightwish), but something about Deeper Well made me keep coming back to it over and over (40+ full listens).

currently giving Rain World another try… this game has not been good at keeping my attention span, but I so badly want to understand why it’s such a cult classic. The people that love it, LOVE it, and I wish to be one of them tbh

Random accomplishment of the day: completed one of my favorite games (Ori and the Blind Forest) on hard mode. I've been meaning to do that for a long time. Only died 535 times in the process 🫣

Someone commissioned this art of my Final Fantasy XIV character as part of a Secret Santa gift exchange, and I love it so much

2024 was absolute peak gaming for me, probably one of my favorite years of all time. I'm SO happy that I've finally branched out from only playing MMOs. There are so many other amazing games out there that I've been missing out on

In love with this art of Shallan that I bought at Dragonsteel Nexus. She’s been my favorite character thoughout all of Stormlight (although Renarin has come close now)

Another game 100%'d! Heavy Rain showed its age in a lot of ways, but I'm glad I finally got around to playing it. Really neat story.
