Another year of going is upon us! As I did last year I'll be tracking my game completions in a singular thread.

I wish you all a 2025 full of great games, healthy lives, and good news!

With that said, here's my games beat, starting with the first one beaten today!!!

Bring back wonderful, hand-drawn videogame manuals, full of additional lore and information.

There's no argument against it, at least for the consumer. Totally agree. It's annoying they haven't.

(And gifting in the eShop, IMO)

Fair point of consideration.

I've not started Deltarune because I've wanted the whole experience to be available. How long has each chapter been? Maybe playing all at once will feel overwhelming?

I'm not buying Kirby Air Riders. I wasn't planning to buy amiibo. However I might get this one.

I love Dedede's look.

Undertale was one of those titles which truly held up to the hype when I played it.

The Lost Crown is one I bought a while back and I plan to play it after I beat Age of Imprisonment and Prime 4.

I'm looking forward to it as I heard nothing but good things.

Oh and last comment, have fun with Bananza!!! Love that game!!

I definitely don't buy every game I'd want at launch though. I'm looking at you Mario Galaxy duo... 🌕

I buy games at launch, but I usually play them then also. Rarely have I bought a game at full price and didn't play it.

My backlog gets mad but it's about what I want to play, not just what I can play.

With these increases though, I'm scrutinizing myself more on this practice. Definitely.

It really doesn't help either that I gave multiple people details and tasks to cover. Nothing got done. Every can kicked down the road. So not only are things behind where they should be, but now I've got to work twice as fast to wrap things up. Some things I really shouldn't even be leading.

Banjo's Backpack @banjosbackpack.bsky.social · 1d

I went in blind but for my experience with The Walking Dead series.

I had a good time with this! I think there's still a second one coming.... But I could be a bit outdated on that.

Banjo's Backpack @banjosbackpack.bsky.social · 1d

Meeting tonight. Eight meetings tomorrow. Still well over 190 emails deep in the 'you took vacation, now you suffer' effect.

Hot damn. How does one get things done and find more than a few minutes to even consider one subject?

Ffs.

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask - Majora's Incarnation

So many tunes are memorable from 'The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask'. I figured I'd pick one from the late game this time. Not as frequently praised.

I'm probably going to drop current games to play this. It's not long and I haven't played since launch. I miss this classic.

Shantae and the Pirate's Curse - We Love Burning Town

I think that 'Shantae and the Pirate's Curse' will always be my favorite Shantae game. It was the first one I played and it was rock solid. Each one since has felt so derivative.

Probably, but I'll still just have fun doing my usual stuff at locations I might recognize from the show. I'm curious what gimmicky weapons and items might be there. I've loved the box of Scooby Snacks this season (and I'll miss the witch's broom when the season changes).

Banjo's Backpack @banjosbackpack.bsky.social · 2d

That'd be hilarious. I definitely don't care that much for The Simpsons but man sometimes stuff like this just gets me really excited as if I'm some long time huge fan.

This is really hilarious and exciting, if true. I don't presume 'leaks' as true until I see them or hear officially, but I'd be happy to play this.

New Fortnite leak reveals next season will get a Simpsons-themed map

Epic Games and Fortnite are going all in next season on the incredibly popular cult cartoon series, The Simpsons. The game will apparently feature a lifelike map of Springfield which will be animated in the cartoon's unique style and will be ready for players to duke it out on next Season. This Simpsons x Fortnite collaboration has been leaked by HypeX who has been fairly reliable this past few seasons with Fortnite leaks.

I don't think we should let it go that the president posted a video of himself shitting diarrhea on us. It should be on his wikipedia page

Super Mario Bros. Wonder - World 2: Fluff-Puff Peaks

It was pretty refreshing to get a new 2D Mario game two years ago today. I thought it was a solid good time and this tune from 'Super Mario Bros. Wonder' had me smiling away.

Your post is a good mix of me and my buddy's opinions. I'm still early in so I'm less annoyed by the lack of variety, but it's clear that it is incredibly samey. However, I'm still having a good time exploring the maze and catching the new Pokémon in each new area designated for them. Fun to be had.

Just had a week off... I'm not ready to go back to the daily grind and despite going to bed early last night... I very much want more sleep.
