The NOexistenceN of you AND me on Steam

Use "game" as a medium to showcase the world of "you/girl". Explore the truth of "you/girl/world" through the form of a "visual novel".

And with Trails in the Sky finished, here's my updated top 10 games I've played this year! Pokemon Legends Arceus gets kicked out and Trails in the Sky slides in at #3.

Next up, my first visual novel in a very long while!

Do I have criticisms? You bet. Was it boring sometimes? Sure. Annoying? Occasionally. But you know what? I don't care. Because all I want to do is adventure around a world with goofy adventures like they did.

And that's the kind of escapism that makes video games so freaking great.

I cannot express how "comfortable" Sky 1st Chapter made me feel. Not exactly "cozy" because it's not a game like that, but it's the type of experience that you just like - love, even - and you really just can't explain why apart from that you just... do.

Game #17 of 2025 completed: Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter!

As a relatively new fan to Trails, if my first game made me understand the appeal, my second made me completely hooked. While i isn't my favorite game that I -played- this year, Sky 1st Chapter is my favorite game release of 2025.

My favorite thing is when a truck’s hood is taller than my entire car.

Sandbag is in Kirby Air Riders. My life is complete.

Andrew @ajreiffdesign.bsky.social · 1d

Agreed. I always liked to play with HP on and I was super-happy when it was revealed in the first direct that Air Riders will have that option too.

Such grace! What form!

Andrew @ajreiffdesign.bsky.social · 1d

Same. And while I do really like it, I think it was the discourse around how much I was -supposed- to like it soured me on it a bit.

Today in my mailbox: The iam8bit release of Another Crab’s Treasure for PS5! This quirky “Baby’s First Soulslike” is filled with what has become Aggro Crab’s signature topical, on-the-nose type humor.
