Happy new year, everyone! Did you all have fun these holidays? I can’t believe work resumes on Monday already and school from Tuesday onwards. Normally I would say “Where did the time go?” but the older I grow, the faster the time moves and the more I get used to it. Make the most of each day, is technically my new year’s resolution, but I already spent most of today grinding hunts and runes in Epic Seven, so that’s out of the window already.
As for video game resolutions, I’ve given up on making those. If anything, it seems just resolving to play something these days makes me less likely to play it than not. Besides, I genuinely won’t have the time for most games this year, because I have a lot of personal admin to do such as considering whether to change jobs/go back to school etc etc. Video games aren’t going anywhere, but my peak earning years are dwindling. For the sake of a comfortable retirement, it’s go time! As long as I manage to finish Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and reach the end of Episode 4 in Epic Seven, that will be enough for me in 2023.
I do feel like I neglected this blog a lot in 2022, so I’ll try to post a little more often, at least once every 10 days. First up will be a roundup of all the gacha games I tried and dropped this year. My big “thing” at this time last year was sorting out my gacha games, dropping most of them and pledging not to start any more… but as I already said, I often do the opposite of what I said I would so instead I tried several other new games. I would try even more, but the majority of mobile games just don’t appeal to me. The gameplay is too simplistic, the characters are boring, similar-looking waifus, the story is meandering, neverending nonsense and the gacha is downright unfair. But never say never.
In the meantime, I’m off to bed. No more late nights for me from 2023 onwards… and I just jinxed it by writing it out. Happy New Year again!
