I'm not allowed to post this without writing a few words, but there's not really all that much to say.

Started working on a thing.

No idea if it's ever going to get finished (it's still mostly concepts at the moment) but I've been playing around with this idea in my head for a while now, so I felt like bringing it up.

Anyways, here's front facing Buckets.

The "Balance Update" is canceled. Here's a rough adaptation of the content aspect as compensation.

Not much of a gamechanger, but there's some extra fights here and there if you ever decide to replay this for whatever reason.

The Vega Route has begun actual development.

There's a new Wes Anderson movie coming out within the next two months, so I've got something to look forwards to for the immediate future.

Or at least a closer future than some of the other stuff I'm looking forwards to, anyways.

I'm actually pretty proud of this one. A few of the ideas I've implemented for this (including this update's name!) have been my plans for months now. Glad to see it all come together.

Hope you enjoy experiencing this as much as I've enjoyed creating it.

Here's a vaguely defined list of all the games I played in 2025.

I'd also like to mention Fool Time, the recent Jon Bois miniseries about the telegraph, as an honorary "Highlight of the Year."

It's an honorary mention since Fool Time isn't a video game.

Here's some games I played for the first time this year in a list.

And also some movies I watched in the last third of the year.

He's not in it.

Now the questionably enjoyable trial of will that is the Joyed Vega Ending is more consistently questionably enjoyable!

Also I changed my mind on how I wanted to handle Fatty's recruitment on the new route. It's the same method, but it's a bit easier now.
