Just a new dad that is finding less and less time to actually game haha. Oh, and I'm not a big social media person, but I'm definitely anti-corruption and anti-nimwit. Cheers!

Day 18, Fave Spinoff/Sequel/Remake
FFVII Remake Intergrade
I haven't played a huge swath of FF spinoffs etc. (heck, I've missed out on a lot of mainline entries too 😅). With that being said FFVII Remake Intergrade was such a crazy glow up. It's the remake that all remakes should aspire to be. 😊

So another rocky start in 2026 😅. Baby has been up since 1am and I'm having a new parent experience of her dealing with a stomach bug 🤮 (first time she's ever had anything like this)
Seems like today is going to be a big laundry day. Rip my sleep. 😭

Yes, your eyes did not deceive you - this was "on brand" in my looping through answers in A-Z order 😂. I did have some intentional/unintentional letter skips. 😅
Also the goal this time was speed. So forgive me if my ramblings are incoherent (was just trying to get out answers fast).

Day 17, Favorite Soundtrack
Soundtrack, schmoundtrack. For someone who overlooks music in most games 😅, well I have two songs I like.
1) Man With The Machine Gun (Laguna's theme from FFVIII)
2) Let The Battles Begin (main battle them from FFVII)
I like those tracks. 😊

World events made me look for a good game to stick my entire face into for a while, and Nightreign fit the bill. It's also more interesting of a thing than its silly premise might lead you to believe, so I wrote about why it succeeds, what I find fascinating about it and why that matters. My review:

If you couldn't tell from my snow posts yesterday, I like wintery weather. 😊 Ice has always been one of my favorite elements in games, and Shiva is the Ice Queen.
Also I'm a big fan of big heals. Almost picked a blue mage spell, but nah, Curaga. 👍
