Here's a very long, very interesting report on "the fuck happened to the games industry over the past few years" that is worth a look. Lots of graphs and data points for the sickos out there. www.matthewball.co/all/stateofv...

Can't wait for Musk to acquire it and rename it XX

Finally back from competing in the North American Digimon Finals. Finished 33rd, just missing top cut. RIP, but I feel like for my first nats I performed really well. One of my losses, though, I feel like was totally winnable, so I just need to focus up for next season and try to qualify again

It's weird to say my GOTY because I basically only played one (video) game this year and that was TFT. I started playing in Aug and played 503 games. If each game is an avg of 35 minutes, I've played almost 300 hours of TFT in that span and aside from Digimon CG, I haven't played anything else.

Sigh, I spent the last two hours trying to find a card I could've sworn I bought, but couldn't find it anywhere. I ordered the same card from two places, but can only find 1 and don't remember which place I didn't get it from so I can't even email and ask...sigh, there goes that money.

I scored 121 on the RAADS-R test 😂

Post your first RPG

Digimon nats is coming in two weeks and I still haven't 100% decided on a deck yet. I have a backup choice of what to pick if I'm still unsure, but I started cooking something new last night...always a bad idea right before big tournaments.

In one of the most shocking events of the year, the entire staff of Annapurna Interactive resigned. The mass resignations followed a failed bid by publisher head Nathan Gary and his colleagues to spin the publisher out into an independent company. #GDBestof2024

HUH my twitch recap. I know other people have definitely watched more than me, but this feels like a lot to me. This is basically I'm watching twitch almost every day of the year (year's not over), and at least 1.5hrs each of those days. Crazy

I kid you not, @itch.io has been taken down by Funko of "Funko Pop" because they use some trash "AI Powered" Brand Protection Software called Brand Shield that created some bogus Phishing report to our registrar, iwantmyname, who ignored our response and just disabled the domain

That community note though. Pot something something kettle.

day 1 of TFT set 13. Trying not to rely too much on guides to begin with, but pretty fun so far. I really enjoy playing Scrap right now and Rumble is a really neat 5 cost. Am up too late playing 😂 I'm definitely gonna suffer tomorrow...

man, I haven't played any of these. I really wanted to play FF7, Elden Ring DLC, and Metaphor, but this year the only games I've been playing are TFT and the Digimon Card Game 😂
