February 2024 Favorites

February... happened. I unfortunately had Covid for most of it. Valentine's Day hit me hard emotionally. And I've been feeling the need for expression and release. This has led to some writing, but also a lot of crying and self-reflection. These favorites helped to get me through.

Palia: Palia is a great game to play while deliriously sick. But also, I've gotten so attached to this world and these characters. Little things like: Nai'o spending time with his brother, Ashura talking about his tragic past, Chayne talking about memories with his dads, and Reth's reaction when I gave him a heartdrop lily. 🥲 You could easily miss some of the sweet moments if you skip though dialogue too quickly or neglect to read your letters, but if you invest a bit of yourself, there's depth to be found. And though it may sound cheesy, I actually feel welcomed in this little community in ways I've never felt in real life.

Persona 3 Reload: I never quite finished the original Persona 3. Well, P3 FES, which I was playing just before Persona 5 came out. And I ended up switching to that. Which I also didn't finish because then Final Fantasy XV came out. Yes, I have a bad habit of not finishing games. 😅 Anyhow, I am loving this visual upgrade to the game and the updates to the gameplay systems. Everything about the game is sleek and stylish. And I'm loving being back!

Sims: When I've felt up to being on the computer, my attention has been consumed by Sims again. I've been playing a lot. Posting to the Simblr. (Well, queueing to the Simblr.) And just really enjoying everything to do with the game again.

Dance Academy: I love this show so much. I've mentioned it a few times over the last year or so, and don't know if I have more to say than that. But yeah. One of my favorites, for sure. And I'm currently re-healing the heartbreak of the last few episodes of season 2. 💔
