Celebrating Lunar New Year with decorations and gifts from @arknightsglobal.bsky.social, love all the small design details they put in 🤩 Thank you so much and happy new year friends!

Fractured Blooms: plant crops, cook meals, is a cozy farming sim 🌱 Also Fractured Blooms:
Thought it’d be cool if she always knew where you were, but she took it personally. #FracturedBlooms
Mouthwashing kind of robbed my list this year because I literally played it Jan 1st 2025 on new years day (and it was a great way to start the year). Silent Hill f almost made the list but I wanted to finish it before making a judgement. Maybe next year's list. Happy new year!
