300 | ten games for 2025

Skipping day 3 of the snowflake_challenge (mostly because I couldn’t think of anything in particular to post for that prompt), and moving on to day 4!

Since this is the start of a new year, this challenge will be to set your own goals! Of course we can all make large or ambitious goals, remember that small and/or short goals are also good!

This is actually a pretty well-timed challenge prompt, in that it merges well with a post I’d been wanting to make soon anyway. I won’t actual be doing general goal-setting in this post, because I’ve already done that in other spaces—real life goals in my bujo, creative goals in a discord server I’m in, not to mention my usual vague writing thoughts in my 2024 fic writing wrap-up post—but there is an intention that I haven’t noted down anywhere yet, and wanted to.

Which is to say, gaming. ( self-indulgent rambling beneath the cut )

Anyways. The actual point of all of this is that I saw someone on my flist make a list of ten games from their backlog which they want to get through in the coming year, and I really liked that idea! So here’s my list of games that I already own and would like to prioritize this year, broken down in vague categories.
