You'll immediately notice the many Game Boy games in there---that's because of this year's Hardware Toy Of The Year, namely the [Analogue Pocket](/post/2022/04/analogue-pocket). I love that thing. It's been completely worth it to cough up even the extra taxes. They're shipping the Q4 2022 pre-orders as I type this, I hope you all get to enjoy the Pocket during the holidays! diff --git a/content/post/2023/12/2023-in-video-games.md b/content/post/2023/12/2023-in-video-games.md index b8820730..9312b86a 100644 --- a/content/post/2023/12/2023-in-video-games.md +++ b/content/post/2023/12/2023-in-video-games.md @@ -14,9 +14,13 @@ It's that time of the year---the time to publish the [yearly notes](/tags/yearno If you're interested in hearing what I have to say about each game, consult my dedicated gaming blog where the reviews reside, at https://jefklakscodex.com/games/. -I present to you a collage of the 39 games I (re)played this year: +I present to you a collage of the 39 games I (re)played this year in chronological order: -![](../collage-2023.jpg "The GOTY contestants.

Handheld bite-size gaming suits my needs very well, especially since we have our daughter. This year, I did play a few (3)DS games---and for 2024, I'm finally planning to tackle the _Dragon Quest VIII_ 3DS port. Hopefully. Also, too little time was spent in DOS mode on my beloved 486! diff --git a/static/post/2022/12/gamecollage.jpg b/static/post/2022/12/gamecollage.jpg index 8b015b7d..6a5bc5ae 100644 Binary files a/static/post/2022/12/gamecollage.jpg and b/static/post/2022/12/gamecollage.jpg differ diff --git a/static/post/2023/12/collage-2023.jpg b/static/post/2023/12/collage-2023.jpg index ea81558a..92ba40a9 100644 Binary files a/static/post/2023/12/collage-2023.jpg and b/static/post/2023/12/collage-2023.jpg differ
