So this is the new monthly games post.
At this point I've captured two things. Which games I've played and which games I've played "intentionally". I'll probably expand this as I go, but I wanted to do something a little different and give myself a bit of an interesting look. I'm not quite sure I've achieved a look I like either, but again here's a starting point.
Which games I played is self explanatory. Which games I've played "intentionally" is a thing I'm not that clear on myself, but Sea of Stars and Final Fantasy XII are the two games I made time in the evenings to sit down and play. Other games on this list, I didn't choose as an intentional activity, so much as thing to do to rest for a short or long moment. That's a thought I'm still working on and I'll see what makes sense as we go. Games are more-or-less in order of when I started playing them from top to bottom.
I finished and "completed" Sea of Stars, so I tried to add some iconic indicators; an end dot (from sequence diagrams) to signify hitting credits and a "golden" glow to show "complete".
(Complete goes in quotes because I could probably do more, but in this case I found the "true ending". True Ending goes in quotes because what is truth in a video game.Golden goes in quotes because I'm not great at finding colours and faders in Omnigraffle (which I used to make this).)
The Games I Played in 2024
As I mentioned, I finished Sea of Stars and wrote up some things about it. I've played quite a bit of Into the Breach especially as a background thinking game. It's (sort of) easy to dip into and out of, especially while I'm working on a project. I've really picked up the rhythm of it and I'm really having fun with it. As always Mario Kart is great to sit down and quickly jump into something to redirect your brain and your hands. ... Also "Vroom".
Like I said, this is evolving, but I kinda like the shape. Does it make sense? Is it interesting? Is there something else that would be good to know? Feedback is appreciated.
