As someone with a enormous Steam library collecting dust because I can’t be bothered to sit at my PC at night after sitting at a computer all day for work, I’m so excited for the Steam Machine. Though at some point, I just need to get a dock for my deck to solve the problem for now.

I can’t believe we got a new Katamari game in 2025…and that it’s actually really good!

It’s just cruel for Slime Rancher 2 and Hades 2 to come out of early access so close to one another. I can’t play them both simultaneously!

I like to periodically update my Backloggd with reviews of what I played recently. Been putting this batch off because I’m doing a re-review of Pokemon Violet and a review of Baldur’s Gate 3. One is getting a 10…and one is getting…much lower. Which is which is…going to be unpopular 🤣

I’ve been on a reading kick lately so I haven’t posted in a while since I mostly talk games here. Coming back just to say: DANGANRONPA 2x2. That is all.

I’m finally into chapter 4 of Xenoblade 3. I think I’m starting to get into it, but I’ve been struggling compared to how immediately I loved 1 and X. At least it’s better than 2, though that’s a…pretty low bar for me.

It’s been a rough year for me as a person prone to motion sickness in games with particularly flashy cameras. Clair Obscur is basically unplayable, and I don’t think I’ll be able to get through DK Bonanza, either.

Probably a good sign for how well character designs are done in Jack Jeanne, but I’m just staring at the training screen because I can’t decide which route to take 😭. I think Suzu seems like a good fit for a first playthrough, but I’m way more interested in Fumi or Kai’s backstories.

I thought I’d give Jack Jeanne a try next in my otome adventures. This way, I can alternate routes with other games if it’s too exhausting to play all at once. This art style is GORGEOUS 😍

I finished Code:Realize! What a journey. I loved every route and it’s definitely one of my favorite VNs, if not favorite games, period.

Saint-Germain’s route in Code Realize…didn’t have any part of that on my bingo card. Favorite route from a plot perspective, didn’t really buy the romance part at any point. But! Onto the final route!

Frankensteins’s route in Code: Realize is done, too. I don’t think I’ve ever played a VN this quickly. Picking a favorite at the end of this is going to be really difficult.

Every time the anniversary of this game rolls around, I am reminded that I am ancient and getting ancient-er. This was the childhood game that made me a lifelong gamer and I’ll love it forever for that.
Happy 24th anniversary to Final Fantasy X! Even though it wasn't my first FF, I played it when I was getting that age (around 9 or 10) to start appreciating that video games are an art form. It's essentially the first game that showed me how magical video games could be. They can tell a great story.

I finally got around to ranking my 9RIP love interests!
Ranking the 9R.I.P. Love Interests
I am proud to say that, after many years of thinking I should probably try playing an otome game in full, I have finally done it by rolling credits on 9R.I.P. after completing every route and achieving all endings. When I heard that there was an entire game dedicated to dating ghosts, demons, and spirits, I knew I had to give it a try.

My top 4 anime (though I have more like a top 10 that could move around at any moment).

I FLEW through Van Helsing’s route in Code:Realize. It was so good, one of my favorite VN routes I’ve ever played. I really hope I get a little more fluff from the sequels with him because he deserves it after what he went through 🥺

Impey’s route is done! I wasn’t super excited for his route, but I was absolutely blown away by it. So adorable! This game is definitely on track to be a new favorite for me if all the routes are this good.

I finished Baldur’s Gate 3. I’m freeeeeee! This is also a good reminder that when I eventually rank games this year, I really do rankings/ratings mostly on subjective experience. And subjectively, I believe Baldur’s Gate 3 forgot that games are generally played for the purpose of having fun.

Baldur’s Gate 3 is the most frustrating gaming experience. The game gives me just enough epic highs that I convince myself playing it is worth it, only to then spend the next ten hours absolutely miserable lol. I’m 100 hrs in and yet, I don’t actually think I like playing it.

I wasn’t terribly excited about Impey’s route in Code: Realize and was worried starting with him would sour my opinion of the game. It definitely is not soured, he’s such a sweetie and his route is amazing so far.

I can already feel that Code:Realize is about to become my personality for a while. It’s so good.

I hope to write a post expanding on my thoughts, but in case I don’t, my initial Code:Realize predictions regarding ranking of guys (just based off vibes and their character model) is:
5. Saint-Germain
4. Impey
3. Lupin
2. Van Helsing
1. Frankenstein
5. Saint-Germain
4. Impey

I finished 9RIP! So now I can officially say I’ve played an Otome. Now to just…figure out which one I want to play next…

I bought Code:Realize in the Switch sale, so that means it’s really time to go all-in on finishing 9RIP so I can start it. 2.5 more routes to go!

I’m amazed at how much I’m loving Tears of the Kingdom. I almost didn’t pick it up since Breath of the Wild didn’t really hit that hard for me, but this is amazing.
