"Powerscaling is vital to stories, unless there's no fights. That's the amendment. That doesn't work either, because what happens is the characters have to figure out why they're in conflict in the first place. Why go out of their feats? And when you say "Nono, it's just themes" it's lazy writing"

Last night I was thinking of starting some kind of dream journal and right after I had a dream so bizarre that at least this should be jotted down for future keep
John Goodman Crisps - Endorsed by Jeremy Clarkson in the UK, John Goodman Crisps was a limited run crisp brand run by Kettle Foods in 202X featuring ~6 flavours with packets labeled with the titular actors iconic roles. However, the crisps marketing campaign was caught under fire after release oddly not due to containing the actors more adult roles like Walter Sobchak from The Big Lebowski, but due to it's sinister descriptions for some of the flavours. The "Gloucester Chicken" crisps in particular, branded with the iconic Monsters Inc character Sully, taglined itself with "the scariest crisp flavour you will ever eat", and described itself with it's unpleasantries underneath, describing features more attributed to rotten flesh. The campaign also had a brief failed collab with Fortnite's Rocket Racing, but needed to switch over once the mode merge into Battle Royale happened.

And finally, Until Then. What finally got me to make this thread in the first place. Beautiful fucking game despite it all. Haven't fallen for a game's world and story like this in a while and I can feel it's already taken a stranglehold on my brain heavy. Powerful stuff. Love this game.

Andor (Season 2) Jesus Christ thank GOD this show mostly stuck the landing. Maybe not overall as good as S1 but the highs are just as high, and still the best thing to come out of this franchise since the original trilogy. Amazing, ready to leave the franchise in the water forever now.

Nobody Knows Try not to cry challenge fucking failed holy shit. This film REALLY gets to you, will get the most stoic of people teary-eyed. Especially considering its partially inspired by real events. God. I think I will always fall for these kinds of movies. Harrowing.

Close-Up Watched a few all-time great films last year, this one particularly resonated with me as a true "power of fiction" enjoyer. A bunch of people get together to decide that sometimes art really is that serious. Beautifully life affirming. Fuck America forever.

Hollow Knight Silksong A game so good and so big it tired me out of gaming for months lol. So we'll moveo n after this. But yeah this game's great. Plays amazingly, so much shit to do, rich, interesting, so fun. Sometimes I still see Flea Juggle when I close my eyes.

Boku No Natsuyasumi 2 Did the thing where I played this game for one real day every month of August, and god does it take you somewhere. Really appreciated the understatedness of this game, super relaxing but not without meaning, just straight up beautiful.

Riven God I can't describe how this game feels/what makes it feel unique but it sure is something special. Super tight puzzle designs too, aside from one towards the end that felt like it didn't work for me. Great space to get lost in and appreciate the prerendered art. Speaking of...

Fallout New Vegas Finally finished after years of it rotting in my library and yeah. It's Fallout New Vegas. It's as good as everyone says it is. So captivated by this game and it's world. Great stuff. Dead Money DLC if you have no defenders I am dead.

Thief Gold Not a boomshooter!!! imsim!! This is some of the most fun I've had in a game for a while, just doing stupid shit in order to progress the level and get past enemies. Some levels do drag, and it loses creativity towards the end but I'll never not love funny sneak wack game.

Before I go into my real favourites, I'll mention another thing that took up my year, Sonic. Modding these games has been a ton of fun, and with fan fixes allowed me to enjoy these games in ways that I just straight up wouldn't before. Also Shadow Generations is gooooood. Like Real Good. That's all

Quake Arcane Dimensions This gets its own section idc. Fantastic mod. So many insane good levels with interesting unique design. The most I've cared about secrets in one of these games since at least Doom 1. REALLY good. If you like these games and don't mind super long levels do give it a try.

Other boomy shootys I played included Duke Nukem 3D, which I honestly didn't enjoy that much, Blood, which is super fun difficulty warts and all, even if it does tire me out, and Quake + Quake II which are great despite both game's troubled developments. Got a lot from both games, including...

Also gonna include some of the WADs here, you can check the alt text for my further thoughts on each if you want as I definitely couldn't finish them here lmao
Master Levels of Doom II box art - miserable dogshit. theres like two levels worth playing in this and the rest are all challenges to either bore you to death or make you think dark thoughtsScythe - Liked the bite-sized approach of this WAD, but its a very mixed bag. Some fun levels but a lot of teeth pullers, especially towards the end where they start extending the level length a ton.Going Down Turbo - A lot of fun, humorous and very entertaining! Pretty good, although I will say it did feel fairly one-note. With the concept it would've been hard to change the style too much but I would've loved a bit more variety here.Alien Vendetta - I couldn't finish this one, I'm sorry, some of these levels became too miserable at the end. first 23 is still pretty entertaining though, still a mixed bag of going from some of the most interesting large DOOM levels to miserable dogshit, but I got enough  out of this "most influential DOOM wad" here.

Might as well start with whats been consuming my past year, boomer shooters. Doom being the main one, played all the old official ones. It's been kinda a comfort food for me idk, especially wanting to play more action games/fps games and falling into the well of WADs here, official and fanmade.
Doom box art - Easily my favourite still. Even if its the most "incomplete" I love the level design here so much, they really had it all here.Doom II box art - love the guns and roster of this game but a lot of these levels are a draaaaaaaaaaaaaggggg, a few highlights here and there dont save this game for me unfortunatelyFinal Doom box art - TNT Evilution was kind of a drag, especially at the end, even if there were times I appreciated its longer approach. Plutonia is pretty fun though, insanely evil and frustrating but enough funny shit is thrown in there that made it worthwhile.Doom 64 - Felt breezier, sure, but I think the design here is more solid for it. Won't blow anyone away but its a good enough time, probably one of my more enjoyed games in the series.
