Thanks for the response! Good to see yourself occupied with stuff, presumably to get your mind off things.

Me, I'm still feeling a little isolated in terms of the current goings-on this year so far. But I got back to playing my favorite MMO that is pretty much keeping me going. I remembered the States are getting hit hard by recent events, but look at me - It's less chaotic but I'm still pressured by the environment here in Canada. Yet I should keep recalling what my former manager at work said... "Ride the wave"

Hi Chris - how are you doing as of now? I thought I'd drop by to see how things have been with you and the others. I haven't got in touch with most of you for quite a while. But PokemonMaster still comes by my page occasionally.

How is the state you're currently in? I hope you're still safe considering the current situations going down in the states. But I certainly hope your Summer was good enough so far.

I still haven't done Journey! yikes, but I'm well overdue. I just remember all the brilliant colors and everything in that sequence in AbzÛ, an experience well-worth the time spent in the end tho, I'm with you on that.

Dunno if you're still in the discord most mornings but I'll come say hey again, hope to catch you sooner | later!

Hey Chris! Even though I haven't been active on the BL discord I've still enjoyed seeing what you're playing and enjoying here on Backloggery.

Saw you Abzu recently; what'd you think overall? It's been a while but I remember especially the ending sequence quite fondly. Hope you've been well otherwise!!!

Yeah, about those themes. I said this on Discord but I was burned out of monthly themes. Don't mind my drastic page changes when I say I'm going to stay with a single theme for several months or so. I might improve it at one point to make it look as great as yours. Really, it's inspiration from your ideas.

But, what can I say about The Darkest Faerie? Other than it being a Neopets game which appealed to my decision to get it? Without spoiling the major part of the game, I would say it's a pretty calm game when you're out and about, exploring places to fight stuff and collect treasure. There are even side dungeons which you can raid at your convenience.

If you're going for , I suggest taking on the side quests and dungeons as you're proceeding through the main story. Mind you, not all sidequests can be finished. There were a few which I thought the devs forgot to finish in tune with the story events, since they simply were impossible to finish. Just do all there is possible, so I say.

Don't mind me Chris, I was meaning to say this earlier on Discord but I can't stop feasting my eyes on this new banner. It's inspiring. I want to try something like that if I wasn't roped to monthly page theming. Maybe I could try some workaround to my currently-generating ideas... maybe.

Also, you've probably remembered me pointing out Tor from The Darkest Faerie, right? My favorite childhood PS2 game, but I was curious to look into your PS2 library and you just so happen have the game too? No way! PLAY THIS GAME IT'S NICE (Albeit a little broken, as per my Youtube playthrough of it). Perhaps if you set up some recommendation station down the road or something, I'd pick it for you.
