January 2024
I never made it past 1 Boss Cell, so we're back.
Recently watched a streamer play it for the first time and it inspired me to play more of Dead Cells. It's a fun game, even though I suck at it.
+10 hours in January.
[No idea how many new achievements, but there's a few.]
I was supposed to finish this in January but picking up Dead Cells again distracted me.
I should be really close to ending the main story, though.
+8 hours in January.
Technically I finished this game by beating it & its DLC this month, but I'm aiming for 100% achievements, which is taking some time. It requires to daily log in and do a short puzzle for 100 days, so it won't be marked as completed for a bit longer.
+6 hours in January.

New Games:
2023 Assassinations
This year I only completed 4 games, and 3 of them in December. Maybe 2024 will be much better in terms of completions or gaming hours.
I wanted to do a long “year in review” kind of post, but there’s really not much reviewing I can do. 2023 was busy, stressful, and tiring - hopefully 2024 will be better!
Does anyone have any New Year’s resolutions?
I have a few things that need to be done (such as finishing my master’s and finding a job), but those barely count as resolutions. I think the main thing I’d like in 2024 is to establish a weekly/daily routine. I need stability in my life, and that might do the trick until I get a job. It’s insane how much space and energy day-to-day chores and thinking takes. If I can stop thinking so much about what to cook/eat, and also stop procrastinating putting clean laundry away, my life might be easier.
I also would love to do more gaming, and maybe watch a few shows/movies every few weeks. Not much of that happened in 2023.
Anyway. Happy new year, everyone!

mid-november to mid-december is a tough time to be a graduate student. i hope i’ll survive to see the new year. i’m back to gaming, it seems. i was very irresponsible this month and played a lot. oh well. no assassinations, though.
the star of this month: apico.
once i started playing i couldn't stop. 50 hours, all of them in november.
it's actually "beaten" as i've finished the "main story" and saw the credits, but i'm aiming to 100% achievements, so for the time being i'll stay as "unfinished". i'll mark it only after i'm done with it.
+2 hours
unfortunately ooblets didn't get much screen time this month. maybe in december i'll finish it.
+1 hour
+5 images completed (all very small)
haven't been feeling like playing this game lately, even though i really wanted to. maybe i'll do one of the Advent packs, starting tomorrow.

New Games:
October 2023
Some gaming happened in October!
+7 hours since January 2023, and
+8 completed images
very slowly chipping away at it.
The Turkish Steam store will be using USD starting from November 20th, and so I bought a few games just in case. They were on sale or rather affordable at their current prices, which I don’t expect to be the case once the prices are converted to USD (even thought they will be regional still, from what I understand).
I bought Dawn of a Soul to support to developer, since they announced that their game will be going free and I had enjoyed their other game, Move n Bloom.
Wandering Village was a gift from a friend.

New Games of 2023 (3)
July-October 2023
The Rewinder & Puzzle Pelago are gifts from friends. The rest I’ve purchased over the months.
Still very little gaming is happening, except this week where I’ve been obsessively playing Ooblets. I’ve been waiting for that game to release since 2018, and I’m glad to be finally playing it. I kind of forgot about its existence for a while since I rarely open Epic Games anymore … not that I have anything against it, I just don’t remember to check the launcher.
If anyone has cute/wholesome game recommendations, I’d love to take a look at them. Especially if they’re farming/life simulators - I miss playing those.

New Games of 2023 (2)
January-June 2023
I’ve completely fallen off from the face of the (gaming) earth but I’m alive! Doing my master’s and trying to settle in a new country is still taking a toll on me and so I rarely have time, energy, or the motivation to play games. Hopefully this will change once I finish my program next summer and start a full-time job; that should give me more time and energy to get back into gaming. Until then, this account will be rarely active, but it happens.
Instead of doing empty monthly posts, I decided to split the year into two. So far, I haven’t finished a single game in 2023, so this one’s just an “additions” post. The backlog is slowly starting to get bigger, but it’s okay.
How is everyone? Did I miss anything important?

New Games of 2023 (1)
January 2023
Not much happened in terms of gaming, but I don’t mind.
Another 18 hours logged into the game. I'm finally up to date on the Bonus book, and I made some progress in the Community 5 book.
Coloring Pixels - Advent 4 Pack
December 2022
I can't believe the year is already over. I didn't get much gaming done in 2022 sadly, but maybe 2023 will be a better year.
Steam Library 2022:
Cute little puzzle game that I enjoyed playing, but since it's so short, probably it's better to buy it on sale.
Another 15 hours of this game . . . I wasn't able to finish the Advent 4 DLC, sadly. I got really close though.
More games from the sales . . .

Bought:
November 2022
Hi everyone.
I still have virtually no time to play games but I still ended up buying . . . a lot, from this year’s autumn sale. I did this mainly because I was warned of the price raise that’s going to happen soon, and also because, eh, why not? Maybe this will make me prioritize gaming a bit, we’ll see.
Who knew moving to a completely new country for grad school would be so intense? (Ha ha . . ha . . . I’m dying, send help.)
