Games Beaten in 2026:
Nine Sols. I started this in 2024 and then fell off and restarted on a different platform. It's fantastic. Hollow Knight meets Sekiro. Lovely art. Really tight controls. Couple of those bosses were rough.
Last achivement required a partial playthrough because binary thing!

Book 1 of 2026: On the Calculation of Volume I. Time fell apart. Tara Selter experienced November 18th again. Proust meets Groundhog Day.
I did not keep up with posting books in 2025. Maybe this is the year.
This was fantastic. Book IV comes out in April so I’ll read one a month.

It’s getting really hard not to be depressed about the horrors and it’s January 3rd.
I can only sequester in blankets to read books about time loops so much.

I know it’s only like day 2 of 2026 but I’ve kept up with my goal of reading more and I can say that Solvej Balle’s On the Calculation of Volume Volume I is amazing.

Usually I make a “top nine” albums collage at the end of the year, but I was unemployed for 90 days and had a lot of time to listen to albums this year. Also, after I was re-employed, I had 2-3 hours of time in a car a day to listen to albums.

Somehow I beat Constance with only 59% completion and I’m not quite sure how. I thought it was a false end (like Silksong actually 2). I don’t have all 8 moves yet!
Anyway loved it.

After a long September at work, I sat down and “beat” Hollow Knight: Silksong.
I got the credits anyway.
Didn’t struggle too much with pre-credits.
Act 3?
Different story.
