"Omarchy should not matter. But sadly it does. As a power grab." I wrote about why we have to care about Omarchy. As a fascist power grab within the FLOSS ecosystem.

I switched to a vertical mouse in an attempt to preempt any potential wrist health issues, but in doing so, I think I've injured my wrist. What am I doing wrong?

November was my month of Hades 2. I still haven't got the epilogue, but I did get the true ending, so I'm counting it as done, even though I'm going to continue playing it. In December I'm hoping to finally get to Expedition 33.

Ok so October was a very busy month. I was very productive. Shipped a few new features for Wheel of Names and made huge backend changes. That does mean that I didn't finish many games, though. Only one, in fact. BALL x PIT was a great little Breakout-meets-Vampire Survivors game.

In September I played a *lot* of Silksong. But that's not all! I also played Planet of Lana and Granblue Fantasy: Relink. Going to finish up my sub 30h 100% steel soul run, then move on to Hades 2!

Having completed the true ending of Silksong, I've gotta say that it's an absolute masterpiece. Team Cherry cooked, once again. The wait was so worth it.

OK so *technically* I didn't finish any games in July, but I'm so far through Octopath Traveler 2 that I'm gonna count it anyway. This is all my friends' fault for making me prepare for and then play the Destiny contest raid. Now I've re-uninstalled it and I am free once more.

I've spent all month trying to work my way through Octopath Traveler 2. Now that I'm near the end, they go and announce Octopath Traveler 0. Can we chill for a bit? I need to catch up on all the other great games from the past couple years.

Friends have convinced me to do one last Destiny day-one raid with them. They sherpa'd me through the most recent dungeon today and I got the exotic twice. Bungie really does reserve the best luck for returning players.

June was great. I didn't play many games, but among them were some bangers. - Nine Sols - Peace, Death! - OneShot (and World Machine Edition) - Tower Wizard I also completed my first Hollow Knight randomizer run, which was fun.

Why are there so many great-looking games releasing in September? I can't keep up as-is.

Wow, OneShot: World Machine Edition is such an incredible game. Instantly in my top 5 of all time.

On the bright side, at least I have time to play Expedition 33 before Silksong releases.

May went well, relatively speaking, with 6 games completed. The Room Three The Room 4: Old Sins Bastion Cyberpunk 2077 It Takes Two Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart The next few months will probably be for high priority games that I want to play before Silksong.

April has mostly been a puzzle game month. Boxes, the Room 1 & 2, and most of all, Blue Prince. Also played Haste and Split Fiction to spice it up a bit. This has also been the month that I moved over to Linux for 90% of my daily computer use, including gaming.

HASTE: Broken Worlds is fantastic

Only finished Assassin's Creed Shadows in March, but I put over 20 hours into Two Point Museum, so I'm counting it as two games. Man, my momentum has completely halted, huh.

Sometimes I get the urge to start a blog, but then I remember that I barely post anything here. What makes me think I would write blog posts? and ones worth reading??

Between work and travel, I only finished 4 games in February, down from 11 last month. - LEGO Lord of the Rings - Metal Unit - Neva - The Star Named EOS My backlog is definitely longer now than it was a month ago. Hoping to turn the tide in March.

Apparently wheelofnames.com has over 300 active users on the Playstation 4, but I want to give a special shout out to our one user on the Wii U.

I love Firefox, but I'm starting to get real sick of how long it takes for CSS standards to be implemented. Feels like a bit of a sinking ship now that the Google search deal is dead (?), and I'm sad about it.

I hate it when I see an awesome badass character design, then find out it's from a gacha game. Such a waste...

My favourite every-day tragedy is that I can never explain 95% of the cool things I do to improve my app to its users.

In January, I played 11 games start to finish. - Firewatch - LEGO Bricktales - The Beginner's Guide - Behind the Frame: The Finest Scenery - GRIS - Beacon Pines - Ghostrunner - Tiny Tina's Wonderlands - Prince of Persia The Lost Crown - Hi-Fi Rush - Terra Nil Let's see how February goes!

I'm finally doing the thing I've been procrastinating for weeks that I need to have done by tomorrow. Please clap.

2025 will be the year of the backlog. So far, I've already started and finished 7 games that I've had laying in my Steam library for ages. Firewatch, LEGO Bricktales, The Beginner's Guide, Behind the Frame: The Perfect Scenery, GRIS, Beacon Pines, and Ghostrunner.

I got sick from a family gathering on Dec 20th, and somehow, almost 3 weeks later, I'm still coughing like crazy and going through 2+ packs of tissues a day. What the hell.

I wish Discord would support embedding other animated image formats than just GIF. AVIF, WebP, and PNG are all very standard formats that support animation, but show only the first frame in Discord, or don't embed at all.
