No, I do not know why anyone would do that to themselves. My mods aren’t interesting enough for challenge runs.

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.

I have spent the last few weeks wondering on and off if putting these two in a room together would be a character design faux-pas for a thing I haven't even started working on yet (and it's possible, though unlikely, I never will).

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.

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.

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.

I played some video games this year. Here's a list of them.

Feel free to check a look if you want. Or don't.

He's not in it.

I've been trying to do this for literal years.

My hands were numb by the end (although part of that was because of some videos I was half watching at the same time)

Now I can play Nuclear Throne like a normal person! I NEVER have to do this again!
