time!

Hei everyone. Just dropping a quick intro post now that the move to is complete. I recently migrated over from @twop0intfive@corteximplant.com. There was absolutely no ill will or drama over there, I just felt like it was the right time for a change of scenery.

I work in IT governance to pay the bills, but family and creative projects take up the rest of my time. A big piece of that is being behind the camera and handling the editing for my wife's social media accounts.

When I get a rare quiet window to myself, I am usually tweaking Docker containers in the homelab, playing video games and silent streaming them, or just starting to mess around with making electronic music.

Diasporic Boricua, keeping connected to my roots and needing that occasional agua salá recharge when the machine gets too loud.

Good to connect with everyone here. Verification link is below.

      New year, new credits rolling on a game.

      This time the game is Roots of Pacha! I finally completed my second playthrough although I'm still trying to romance Vallah but seems like it's a known bug

      Into my "Finished in 2025" it goes questlog.app/u/ivozzo/playlist

        I'll post more screenshots on Pixelfed, properly CW'ed to avoid spoilers, because the game was a great journey with a simple but deep story.

        And at the end of that journey, you'll just be left with the credits rolling, your eyes watering up and nothing more to say except "Oh."

        I highly recommend playing this game.

          Somewhat longer than the games I'm used to, as a long FF 7 fan I quite enjoyed this new take on the series.

            Great indie adventure/platformer with a somewhat deep background story, all hand drawn.

            The game is quite easy, accessible and short; in case you have kids or you'd like to play light-heartedly to relieve some stress, I suggest to look into it,

                Finally completed my last journey to the everdoor in Spiritfarer.

                I definitely underestimated this game when I first picked it up; I thought it was just a pleasant and light game to play on the Deck.
                It was pleasant to play alright, but definitely not light at all. In fact, it hooked me right in the feels real hard and I didn't play anything else until the end.

                  I said goodbye to Arthur Morgan last night, officially closing my first playthrough of Red Dead Redemption 2.

                  What an amazing odyssey through the American history. It's undoubtably a great game, able to reach your feelings and making you completely involved in the story. In fact, after the 4th chapter I completely lost track of all the side quests and focused on the main story, because I wanted more of it every time!

                  I think I got the "good" ending, because I played my Arhur Morgan on his way to redemption.

                      And this means that I completed my playthrough of Mass Effect I (Legendary Edition).

                      I'll never forgive Ashley for shooting Wrex, but it is what it is and my squad has been able to defeat the reapers...for now.

                      I think I'll catch a break from ME before starting the second episode, playing something something different.

                      Although remastered, ME didn't age well in my opinion and the animations and the mechanics are...ew. Fortunately, it's one of those games where the story is a masterpiece and the technical part isn't too frustrating, so it can be played (and replayed) well.

                              It was fun and frustrating and if I'd have to pick a top 50 of the games I'd want to play again, this definitely won't be in the chart.

                              But hey, it is done and I don't see myself playing the second chapter any time soon, so I guess I'll be moving to complete FF VII Remake Intergrade (the DLC) and then off to Mass Effect 2 :)

Commander Shephard is left sitting on the bed in his own quarters remembering the last sweet hours with his beloved Tali'Zorah.

                                    I didn't expect ME2 to hit so hard on the feelings, definitely one of those good games that like a good book, makes you connect deeply with the characters. Bravo.

                                                      "Your torment has lasted long enough". With these words, Kena helped the last spirit finally passing through to the other realm.

                                                      I dunno why I never bothered playing it before, but after finishing Kena: Bridge of Spirits I can say that I missed so much.
                                                      (Yes, I know why I never bothered playing it before, Mountain Backlog, that's why.)

                                                              Today marks 25 years since the original release of Final Fantasy X in Japan back in 2001. An entry that marked several firsts for the series: it was the first Final Fantasy game for the PlayStation 2, the first with full voice acting and fully animated facial expressions, and the first to get a direct storyline sequel in Final Fantasy X-2. Also a game I should probably stop considering one of the "newer" FF titles, at this point.

                                                              Much like Final Fantasy VIII, a heavy focus was placed on the romance between the two main leads, Tidus and Yuna. However, the broader story can justifiably be called a critique of religious institutions, tackling the correlation between uncritical religious dogma and systemic prejudice.

                                                              Through the 'found family' dynamic between its characters, FFX explored themes of death, grief, purpose, and what it takes to challenge dated societal norms, and ultimately showed the beauty of finding yourself, being accepted, breaking cycles and carving out your own path in life, beyond the path you were told you should follow.

I know there’s more to explore since the wiki has some side quest info, but it felt good to finish a run.

Eventually I’ll get into DLCs but for now, I have enough to explore.
