Haven't been able to play much this past month due to some personal issues, but I started up NGU Idle and It's been a blast.
Favorite genres have to be city-builders/sims, and strategic or turn-based combat games.
Didn't watch TGA since it's super bloated, but I did see and enjoy the BG3 director's comments about the industry.
The thing I enjoyed most this year is personal, but I started playing a lot more of the silly co-op games with friends and it's a great way to spend time with them when they don't live close.
Man, that Flag Smasher 180 really pissed me off. They were 100% in the right and then randomly blow up the building for no reason.
