Alright this year I'm striving to document what games I beat.

AND I GET TO START ON JANUARY 1ST

1st game of 2025- Dark Souls 3 on PC

My current 2025 top 10

Game 88- Borderlands 4

I enjoyed my time with BL4- but BL3 is better. BL4 feels more generic in some ways and the open world doesn’t do it for me with Borderlands. Still- very good game.

My buddy @sisyphusfell.bsky.social wrote an article about this game previously

Game 87- Inmost

Another short game really you play for the art, music, and story. Not my cup of tea but if you like games like Gris you should check it out

Brandon Sanderson gets a weird amount of hate for an author, probably because he’s popular. He’s not a perfect writer but damn there’s so many amazing characters and events in his books I just don’t get the hate.

Oh hey I had like 7 golden keys left for Borderlands 4 and for some reason SHIFT deleted them. That's fun.

I thought “maybe I was being too harsh”

Nah, muting is the right choice

And yea, if you wanna promote veganism then being effective matters. You care enough about animals to not eat them but apparently not enough to not be an asshat to people about it

Potato Jolson @thejolson.bsky.social · 2d

I mean given how you handle it? Yes. 100%

But hey go on being the least effective Vegan ever

Althir the Wizard @althir.bsky.social · 2d

compassion and respect for living beings is framed as a "progressive purity test" by troglodytes who can't accept their own shortcomings, gotta love 'em

Potato Jolson @thejolson.bsky.social · 2d

I realized why these insufferable responses from vegans bother me. It’s not about actually trying to engage with the topic it’s just yet another stupid progressive purity test. You can’t care about [x] if you don’t care about [y] the right way

Just dumb

So anyway I muted the guy 😂

It’s definitely the buggiest BL game I’ve played but in fairness it hasn’t affected my enjoyment. The worst I’ve experienced was a door should have been blown open but wasn’t so I quit and re-entered and it was fine

AC Shadows was way buggier for me for instance

Hey in terms of skill I have no problem admitting it. I’ll match in terms of love of the game though 😂

Game 86- Powerwash Simulator

There’s a sequel coming soon, you think I wasn’t gonna do a replay? 😂 Goes a lot faster if you have all the upgrades.

Writing is better in 4 and gameplay is excellent in both, I just don’t care for the open world in 4. I think the biomes in 3 led to better variety, more interesting locations, and far better pacing
