Finished my Final Fantasy XIII playthrough. Solidified it is one of my favorites in the franchise. Incredible visuals, great battle system, leveling through the Crystarium, etc. So well done.

Now to grind through the end game, max out everything and then move on to FF XIII-2.

Nosferatu is one of the best movies I have seen in the past few years. Well directed, great performances and imagery.

Best part is my daughter told us afterwards that she had no idea what it was and thought it was going to be like Hotel Transylvania. 🤣

Yet another sign that your kids are getting older.

Filling out FAFSA forms for college is now a new New Years tradition.

Not sure I like this as much as others.

I started a fresh run of FF XIII today and I forgot how much I enjoyed this universe.

The opening chapters' visuals continues to be one of the best. The Paradigm Shift and ATB system still feels great and fun to play.
