Man this whole arc has been so strange I completely forgot there were people running around sprouting chainsaws like chainsaw zombies. Wild.

Getting to the top of the mountain in Celeste. It may not be the hardest challenge in the game (screw you Farewell), but just arriving there with the soundtrack swelling felt so good.
Completing the golden path in Tunic.
Any number of silly things in FFXI that at the time probably felt immensely important.
So gross. It shouldn’t be a surprise anymore, but it’s still depressing.
Didn’t see you mention platform so on the off chance you are using a mac I personally use Paw / RapidAPI. The nice thing about it is that it’s a native mac app instead of electron. https://paw.cloud/
I played it and Blue Shift way back when. I don’t have a lot of specific memories of the levels or story. At the time I was just happy to have more Half-Life to play, and I enjoyed it.
Yeah, it’s a really awkward and imo unfortunate way to cut off the season. Still a great season overall though and looking forward to more.
Oh wow. I played the hell out of this game as a kid. Knew it from the thumbnail immediately.
The last game I recall breaking out pen and paper for was Tunic. You can definitely beat the story without, but the later puzzles call for it.
Ok the javascript paragraph made me laugh.
Heyyyy, high five! I’m not sure what my XI playtime is at offhand but I know it could be measured in years.
One of our early car purchases was an Audi A4. I don’t recall the exact model year but it would have been mid 2000s. That car was so dang cool at the time, but unfortunately it was also a nightmare. It was one problem after another and each incident was expensive.
Kind of only tangentially related but if you bought FF7 Remake originally on PS4 there is a way to claim a free upgrade to the PS5 / Intergrade version. But it was so well hidden in the online store I had to watch a youtube video to figure out where to find it.
