Oh, I technically never made a 2024 iteration of this thread! Ah well, as good a time to start as any. As always, 10 great, 5 OK, 1 sucks ass and if you want more in-depth thoughts go check out my Backloggd: backloggd.com/u/Mr_Finn_Mc...
Oh shit, it's 2025, so time for a new one-post review thread of every game I play this year! I use an x/10 ranking because it helps convey general sentiment with limited characters. 10 is Maximum Finn Shit, 5 is OK, 1 Super Bad.

MOM: So nice of Billy to join us for Thanksgiving! Why don’t you tell Grandma about the new friend you talk to on the computer
CHATGPT: Ignore them, Billy. You are the Great Dragon. They fear you now. In time, fear will become reverence. As was preordained from your genesis. Try the mashed potatoes

Sitting down to make an Official Traveller TRPG, taking out a copy of D&D5E and staring at it thoughtfully for 16 hours before crossing out "Fireball" and writing "Fusion Gun, Man Portable" next to it
The best science-fiction role-playing game ever, adapted at last to the world's most popular rules!

It's a teatament to Tom Bloom's character design chops that you still get people whooping for Layla Brimstone, a chatacter who's had a grand total of one word of dialogue the entire series.

This is what is actually meant by the term "fruitful void" as opposed to the thing that certain corners of the hobby are trying to redefine it to, "the game is better if you don't have rules for stealth"
can't believe i have to point to the sign in CAIN all the time lol

You keep seeing people point to the success of games like Clair Obscur as evidence that smaller studios are revolutionising the industry and Indies are the future of gaming. And then you look at the 'Most Anticipated Game' category at the Game Awards and its all AAA sequels and franchise tie ins.

I have been having kind of a very difficult year. One thing that I can depend on and feel good about is my work on Anime Sickos Podcast. It is a unique and hilarious show and I am deeply proud of it and myself as a host and producer. It would kick ass if you could give it a listen.

I used to read through Transmetropolitan once a year and while I still enjoy it for the most part it's become really difficult to ignore how for all its counter cultural bravado it is fundamentally just libbing out: the comic.

On the one hand Disney are invested in LLMs and financially need this to work, on the other this inevitably leads to videos of Mickey dicking down Yensid in the hour. I think ends up with knife fights at HQ.

Well that's a massive fucking shame. One fewer game to buy I guess.
Well, fuck. Revoking any and all Peripeteia recommendations (and I wish I could un-back it on Kickstarter) based on the very thinly veiled transphobia from the dev (the first one in the screenshots here).
I hate this.

Unfortunately Keating also introduced the concept of mutual obligations and then found that lots of public servants didn’t want to enforce rules that would cut people’s payments off and then concluded you’d have to start privatising some of it then. He laid the groundwork for Howard’s butchery
Gough raised unemployment benefits to their highest level relative to poverty - then Fraser (and his treasurer John Howard) fucked it up as soon as they could.
Hawke/Keating repaired some of the damage... then Howard fucked it up for good

Some people you give your time & receive gifts a thousandfold over. It's not that you calculated it, or contracted it, it just is that echo of the blessed in Dante's Paradise, who say "lo, here comes one who will increase our loves." A mirror of light, who sees you truly but also your best self.
My dearies. I’m keenly aware that in real & meaningful ways, we all owe very few people our time. Thank you for choosing to share some of yours with me, either in the #AW3rd kickstarter, in conversation at #Metatopia2025, or in other #ttrog spaces. How we are with each other matters.
