Planning for the year to come is such an exciting opportunity.

But one of my 2025 resolutions has me looking back at the year before.

Look, this time I mean it.

A hunter from Bloodborne kneeling with a banner reading 2024 in the background. The 4 in 2024 has been crossed out and replaced with a 5.

They’re like Christmas candy on December 26th.

It still tastes the same, but has been relegated to the clearance bin for some reason.

The rest will be bigger time commitments.

The chill guy meme standing in a sea of 2025 games.

By attempting to finish games Ive already started, though, Im meeting myself halfway.

And when I finish gimmes like Uncharted 3, I get to feel like I accomplished something.

The line separating one year from another is arbitrary.

And if I don’t finish them all this year, hey, there’s always 2026.

New year, newish me.
