I built a Magic deck based around only including cards related to Final Fantasy villains and it won me my first four person game

A magic board with a lot of cards, Kefka is the commander, the three creatures on the board are Hades, Fandaniel, and Black Waltz

#29: Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker I can absolutely see how some people rolled credits and said "alright that's enough I'm good!" Good ending, it's gonna be very weird to keep going from here.

The article mentions this as being a "new character" but is this not supposed to be Zoe Saldana's character from Black Pearl? Or did they actually just make a new black woman character and basically name her the same thing?

A black woman pirate with two daggers, the description lists her as "a new character named Ana-Marie"

Anamaria from Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl played by Zoe Saldana

#26: Dredge Very good! A very lowkey kind of horror I don't feel like I see very often. Fishing felt good, sailing felt good, atmosphere was great. Solid game!

#25: Rhythm Heaven Groove Very good, I don't know if I have it in me to perfect everything in this one but I did at least medal everything. Remix 20 felt tame in comparison to past final remix levels?

#22: Moving Houses One of those games that makes me wish I still had an avenue through which to provide it as a punishment game. Neat game though kinda gets a bit eh at the very end.

Very foreboding text reading "WELCOME HOME" over a one story house with a red vignette

While I was hoping for a sick remix of Oblivion when I got here, this song is so good on its own that I shall forgive not giving me what I was looking for

The song "Return to Oblivion" from FF14 Shadowbringers

Started the EDEN raids in 14 tonight and was told "there is a scene that is a shot for shot recreation of a scene from 8" and if it's not this one I don't wanna see it

#19: The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood I'm overall bad at making cool divination cards, but I will admit that I think a few of my designs were really cool. Interesting narrative system, well written story, had a good time.

A card in Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood titles "Violent Bouqet". The picture shows a man sitting in a chair outside on a battlefield, the corpse of a horse on the ground next to him. Candles are arranged around the horse and flowers are sprouting from its body.

Card Legend: War distorts all feeling. The florist guards the scent of jealousy. The red flame from the candle leads to disgusting discoveries. The overstimulated Fire energy becomes a cleansing power, death and rebirth.

Meanings: Sabotage, Adversity, Rejection, Bad Omen, Change, Rebirth

I just find this scene genuinely meaningful and emotional. I will not be taking questions.

#17: Clock Tower (PS1) Kinda just a worse version of the SNES game... And also wild just how much of a direct sequel it is considering we got this one but not the original.

A very interesting listen if you feel you or anybody needs a reminder of why we have and need food safety laws. Especially now when the people in charge of the FDA seem dead set on getting rid of as many as possible.
