This is my first completed puzzle as an adult. For the longest time, I assumed I hated puzzles. Wrong! They rule 🤘🏻

Finally getting around to KILL KNIGHT - A frantic, responsive, science fantasy twin-stick shooter testing the limits of my reaction times... and it's a blast! Red-drenched, minimalist levels and a pounding soundtrack, what's not to love? #gaming #videogames #gamesky #twinstickshooter

Rereading #FellowshipoftheRing and had to fight back tears for poor Gimli. His heart hurts so badly 😭 Still to this day, I’ve never had another author paint pictures in my mind the way Tolkien does. So thankful to be alive in a time where his work exists ❤️ #lotr #tolkien #booksy 📚

Game #28, Outer Wilds. An impossible task, distilling this game into a paragraph. Outer Wilds is a masterpiece. Andrew Prahlow's score is perfect. The experience changed me in ways I'm still discovering. Thank you to the devs for an unforgettable adventure. #agameaday #gaming #outerwilds #gamesky 🎮

Game #27, Final Fantasy XI Online. It’s 2007, winter in Ohio, and I’m praying for a snow day. No school! Time to log on to FFXI and meet up with some IRL friends at Valkurm Dunes to help each other with the subjob quest. This game sincerely means the world to me. #agameaday #gaming #ffxi #gamesky 🎮

Game #26, The Lord of the Rings Online. Much has changed since its initial launch, but I put in around 20-30 hours, roaming western Middle-Earth, each year. Create a character, travel to Bree-Land and find Tom Bombadil's home in the Old Forest. You'll thank me. #agameaday #gaming #lotro #gamesky 🎮

Game #25, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. I wrote short stories set on Vvardenfell, developed a terrible 2d6 TTRPG using the strategy guide and dreamt of wandering Vivec. The original Xbox disc would, without a single doubt, be one of my seven horcruxes. #agameaday #gaming #morrowind #gamesky 🎮

Game #24, Bloodborne. Cosmic, eldritch horror paired with gothic architecture and a quick, responsive combat system? Nails it. A brain-boggling puzzle of a narrative that pieces together in the most satisfying way? Nails it. The only exclusive that matters. #agameaday #gaming #bloodborne #gamesky 🎮

Game #23, Final Fantasy XIV Online. Initially testing my patience with endless dialogue and a slow start, these qualms became what makes FFXIV such a unique experience. The story comes first and it is an investment that I found to be extraordinarily rewarding. #agameaday #gaming #ffxiv #gamesky 🎮

Game #22, What Remains of Edith Finch. Escapism, familial discord, loss, love and closure are central themes to this profoundly moving 2 1/2 hour experience. The setting is beautifully crafted and nostalgia seeps from every corner of the house. Please play this game. #agameaday #gaming #gamesky 🎮

Game #21, The Binding of Isaac. In both positive and negative ways, this game got me through one of the toughest years of my life. I'd self-sabotaged my way out of a job and spent hundreds (realistically thousands) of hours under Isaac's house. Thank you Ed. #agameaday #gaming #tboi #gamesky 🎮

Game #20, The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker. An expressive art style, wonderful dungeon design, bold innovations to the Hyrule lore/worldbuilding formula and a highly hummable soundtrack plant this TLOZ entry permanently in my top 10. #agameaday #gaming #videogames #windwaker #tloz #gamesky 🎮

Cairn SoloRPG Reboot: Session #1. Had a blast with this session! Removing the pressure to create content on the spot and instead just have fun was the key to success. First of (hopefully) a few actual plays starring Mannog Glass. #ttrpg #rpg #cairnrpg #osr #actualplay #soloroleplaying

Game #19, Fable. This Xbox exclusive was how my parents discovered the correlation of major video game releases and my multi-day maladies. I devoured this game upon its release, watching my devilish horns sprout as I terrorized Albion. Fable is a forever GOAT 👑 #agameaday #gaming #fable #gamesky 🎮

Game #18, Beyond Good & Evil (2003). Originally, I'd had no interest in the game, but a friend had recently finished it and forced me to take his copy home. The goofy sci-fi setting and the politically-driven plot were enough to hook me. What a ride! #agameaday #gaming #beyondgood&evil #gamesky 🎮

Game #17, The Witcher: Enhanced Edition. This was my introduction to mature, dark fantasy (sorry Fable, you were too goofy to be my first). A low-ish fantasy world brimming with Polish folklore horrors, I found myself entranced most by the excellent writing. #agameaday #gaming #thewitcher #gamesky 🎮

Game #16, Diablo 2. Before we had access to services like Discord and Skype, my friend and I would occupy our families' phone lines spending hours running through all five acts with our new characters. This game holds an incredibly special place in my heart. #agameaday #gaming #diablo2 #gamesky 🎮

Game #15, Max Payne 3. Despite Max's acceptance as an alcoholic edgelord incapable of refraining from mid-firefight metaphors and sad sack analogies, I LOVE this game. Hawaiian shirts, bullet time and excessive chromatic aberration? Yes, please. #agameaday #gaming #videogames #gamesky #maxpayne3 🎮

Game #14, Jade Empire. My first BioWare title and, my god, did it blow my mind. The locations were so different from your typical fantasy-fare and the the fighting styles were a blast. I started another playthrough immediately after beating it! #agameaday #gaming #videogames #jadeempire #gamesky 🎮

Game #13, The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX. I beat this game on the drive from Ohio to Arkansas for a family vacation. I didn't grow up with a SNES, so this game is my Link to the Past! One of the saddest TLOZ stories too. #agameaday #gaming #videogames #linksawakeningDX #tloz #gamesky 🎮

Game #12, The Punisher (2005). The movie? Trash. This game? The cover art for this game is found under the dictionary definition of "badass". Solid roster of weapons, brutal environmental kills and the original funeral scene. Sorry, Blood Money. #agameaday #gaming #videogames #thepunisher #gamesky 🎮

Game #11, Crash Bandicoot: Warped. Listen, I know it wasn't better than the previous two titles, but it was the first PS1 game I owned and I LOVED it! I remember feeling incredibly accomplished when I finally beat it. Fruit Bazooka 4 Eva <3 #agameaday #gaming #videogames #crashbandicoot #gamesky 🎮
