Did the Final Fantasy Resonance character designator for a laugh hoping to be read to filth, ended up being forced to face my mortality. ff-resonance.vercel.app
Gotta love how Hades II keeps getting new game modes, first official ones and now with this awesome mod! Was a bit finicky getting it to work on Steam Deck with both games downloaded from different stores, so I got some visual errors, but it was super fun to play!
Day 28: Favourite Title Card Artwork The FFXV one was already stunning and then this happened at the end and I sobbed.
Difficult to choose just 9, but I can say with certainty that these are all games that had a very strong before and after effect on me. Even the very recent ones!
Massive splurge to celebrate that I'll be going to the Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and Hades concerts this year! I can't wait! (Also @bbnomula.bsky.social is performing in Barcelona, but I haven't made plans for that yet!)
Day 21: Favourite Armour Design Balthier's vest is so attractive, totally designed for the female gaze, god bless.
Day 16: Favourite Summon / Spell I love how summons in FFXV affected surroundings, eg. vegetation charred by Ramuh, or Noctis violently shaking with cold when summoning Shiva. My favourite is how Shiva's animation (and Noctis' reaction) changes in the final Act of the game, espcially against Ifrit.
(Intermission) I visited the Eorzea Café in Osaka! Bless my friends for letting me drag them there, as the only Final Fantasy fan in the party XD

After combing every inch of the Continent, the last thing left for me to do in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 was to go back to the beginning for an encounter that I missed the first time round. Absolutely loved every bit of the game from beginning to end. #Expedition33
In case it helps anyone who's unaware, there is how google shows up for me when I search for something in the task bar, with no AI overview. On PC I use the Mozilla Firefox extension udm14. On mobile, I make the default search (also with Firefox) google.com/search?q=%s&..., which works the same.
So happy to have this brilliant Arcane fanart poster by @sydneyjones.bsky.social up by my work desk! It's so funny, clever and beautifully made, and while it focuses on the scientists Jayce and Viktor, I love that it features charming drawings of Jinx, Ekko, Vi and Caitlyn as well. #jayvik #arcane
The wire puzzles in Broken Age come to mind. Needed to break out the pen and paper for those!
15. Day of the Tentacle Remastered 2D point and click. Play as three characters that get stranded each in a different time period to save history from alien invasion. A colourful and zany cartoon adventure that has perhaps the cleverest, funniest and most well thought-out puzzles of them all.
14. Technobabylon 2D pixelart point and click, another of Wadjet Eye's many great ones. A fun cyberpunk story with a well-realised setting, interesting characters, an engaging story, and a good breadth of clever puzzles that feel part of the story-telling rather than a roadblock to it.
13. The Cave 3D side-scrolling platformer. Humorous and imaginative as you'd expect from Double Fine and Ron Gilbert, with an Edward Gorey-like dark twist. Choose 3 characters from a cast of 7 and use their unique abilities to make your way through their backstories to their nefarious ends.
12. Kathy Rain 2D pixel art point and click. A multi-faceted protagonist, a psychologically complex ,mature story with dark and unsettling turns. Well-achieved puzzles based around doing detective work and connecting clues. Full disclosure: I helped translate the game into Spanish.
11. Grim Fandango Remastered 3D point and click. One of the most stylish and best-written games ever made: based on mythology surrounding Dia de los Muertos, the characters, dialogue and music drip with noir atmosphere, but it's also full of wickedly smart humour that extends to its puzzles.
10. Call of the Sea In this 3D first person game, you play a woman exploring a beautiful desert island on the trail of her missing husband, and end up on an astonishing, magical journey with Lovecraftian themes. With puzzles that feel very tactile and satisfying to solve and lovely voice-acting.
8. Fran Bow A 2D point and click adventure where the lines between nightmare, fantasy and reality blur, yet the experience is authentic, memorable and gives a lot to ponder. Imaginative storybook art, sometimes spooky and gory. Despite the dreamworld logic the puzzles aren't difficult to figure out.
7. Monkey Island The point and click adventure series that has brought the most joy to the world 😃 Imaginative and hilarious, with a magical atmosphere thanks to its characters, art and music. Well-paced and ingenious puzzles. The protagonist's evolution makes him one of the best in video games.
6. Full Throttle Remastered 2D point and click adventure, optional classic pixel art. Tim Schafer's other games look quirkier, but this one's just as charming. The puzzles are clever and fun, the writing is great, and there isn't a moment that doesn't feel completely badass. Maureen is wonderful.
5. Stick it to the Man! 2D platformer. Takes place in a zany sticker / paper world. You can read people's minds and move stickers about to solve the puzzles. Hilarious dialogue written by Ryan North. Followed up by the game Flipping Death.
