Fav 25 of 2023
Same deal as the year prior, these are my personal top 25 games I've played in da current annum. Will leave out replays for this one. For an annotated list of EVERYTHING I played this year, I put one together here if curious π
A little gutting to look at the bio of last year's list to see that things in my personal life haven't improved none. It's been tough going out there. 2023 in particular was such a vortex of despair, I rather desperately hope I can put it completely behind me as well. This was a year where my support network almost completely fizzled away and I had to thug it out through mental health flatline after mental health flatline without anyone in arm's reach. It's hard to claw myself into the position where I feel any of the effort is particularly worth it, or that things even have the capacity or chance to get better. I've come off of two separate A&E visits after unaliving attempts and it honestly has never felt like I've returned home from them. Ain't easy to do it on my own is all I'm saying. I appreciate the warm reception my selfish projects I post online appear to generate, it's nice to know that i can still be of some use - even when it's just me writing shite wetbrained reviews for the media I cling to for inspiration & emotional support. I hope 2024 is kind to everyone, expecially u, dear reader ππ«

Thank you, Your words mean a lot to me, and I'm genuinely touched by your encouragement. It's heartwarming to hear that my work has been inspiring and enjoyable for you.

Deemon already said it but I genuinely treasure your presence, both on this site and the contact we've had elsewhere. The way you describe the things you love hasn't just changed the way I draft my own reviews but has also pushed me to appreciate things more deeply when I'm on my own. In that way you've made my own world a little brighter, and I'm thankful for it.
(I'm deadly serious by the way, I think about your Anno 1800 review in some capacity like... once a week.)
I appreciate you Beach, please be kind to yourself - I hope 2024 is kind to you as well.
