Happy Alternatives

Playing some old final fantasy games at the moment. Up to 8. I dunno why people were complaining about how they didn't explain the junction system very well... they have like 4 forced tutorials about it that seemed simple enough to me. Other than that, it might be the funniest game I've played all year. Highly recommended.

For a big online game, I'll likely play War Within. Looks pretty good and Dawntrail scratched zero itches so I actually don't mind playing another MMO in rapid succession.

WoW is a little too sweaty even for me at times in recent years as I like pushing M+, but the wheelbarrow of proper content will be fun and and I greatly appreciate the full fat, inspired design on the healers. Will never get over how silly the phony healing role they're trying to pass off in XIV is.

I've played all past Monster Hunter games so I'm just waiting for Wilds in regards to it. Will continue to blast indie and smaller games out on Steam Deck, too.
