Sounds like you made a tasty decision at least.

I was told I should play this before Rebirth. The story and dub are choppy, but it was actually decent? I think I prefer combat and music in this game to FF7 Remake's. I didn't do every repetitive mission with unworthwhile rewards. but I can see that structure fitting handheld play on the original.

But I'll admit it often feels frustrating to work hard on stuff like this and feel like it won't be acknowledged unless I can tag another person involved or reply to another person's post. I don't know how to fix the problem of my perceived invisibility on Bluesky, but I'll keep trying in 2026.

So in total, 2025 was not a bad year at all. I got to be involved in more events, did more collabs than ever before, and made new music. I should be eternally grateful for the amount of success that I've managed being as small and part-time in this space as I am.

Other friends on Bluesky not mentioned previously, but thanks for just being supportive: @mondu.bsky.social, @nickditto.bsky.social, @kutiekatelyn.bsky.social, @korshalvalent.bsky.social. And my Twitch mod who may or may not be on Bluesky, but would be weird not to mention them!

And the last thing I did in 2025 is only 2 days old, but it's also 3 hours long and deserves the attention. I played so many games in 2025 and talked about all of them. Please consider it for future background noise. (Also playing with a new thumbnail style for 2026.) youtu.be/PcM2Wvucoog?...

I did a full playthrough of MediEvil which started by losing a bet against @jessievil6.bsky.social but then turned into a Halloween special. I must also thank her for having me on for so many game debates and apologize for being on the right side of the debates so often. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

I still did a few VGM covers on piano this year outside of the conventions from earlier. Among those, I think the Clair Obscur Expedition 33 medley came out the strongest. Alicia is such a fun song to play. youtu.be/C0pOsgQTKr0?...

I finally put some of my MIDI music on an album. Digital Deluxe includes adaptations of my piano works (making them "digital") and some exclusive tracks (making it "deluxe.") The title's a play on Digital Deluxe Edition games. Search Azran127 on any music platform to find it. azran127.bandcamp.com

One of the few projects that my Bluesky friends seemed to take an interest in was my spreadsheet analysis of a Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase. Is this a format you'd like to see refined and repeated with Directs and such in 2026? youtu.be/Q9MB_1LS29o?...

Rewatching every single-game Direct to compare it to the DK Bananza Direct took a decent amount of work, so I feel obligated to include my video on that in this thread. It's a fun retrospective on some Direct oddities without you having to rewatch them all like I did. youtu.be/OgkRF-WN2-E?...

And then I somehow pulled a hat trick and got a concert accepted into @thepersonacon.bsky.social, with 2025 being my first time there. Doing these live events like this has become one of my favorite forms of content creation because the audience energy is unmatched. youtu.be/P3xHswlc_LI?...

Shortly after PAX East, I was invited to join @clarksmadness.com for some rounds of Mario Party Madness. I look forward to continuing to be a part of the occasional Madness moving into 2026. It's a great chance to keep working with many great people.

And a double thanks to Shellshock for also inviting me on the Nintendo Switch sendoff. It was my first time working directly with @sylverstonekhandr.com, @oneonetwo.bsky.social, @ricdesi.dpad.fm (who slayed the VOD editing btw.) I think we all made some salient points.. youtu.be/TV69yuDPIE8?...

Top 50 VGM of 2024: I spent too long making this due to the sheer volume of songs I heard (thanks to recommendations from my discord) and the effort I took to edit it into a proper countdown.
