2023 Play List
List of titles I played in 2023. Includes returning and replaying titles. I played a lot of indie games though, so it's not hard to see why my numbers are high. Many of the games Iβve played were on PC (Windows OS and Linux), but a very few were console exclusives on my list.

Replay; 1CC attempt - Hard difficulty
UPDATE:
πͺ I finally got 1CC on hard (starting from stage 1-1)! I am very pleased with my run despite some mess ups. I didn't record the footage due to running the game on Steam Deck w/ 64GB internal SSD. I always thought recording a high quality replay would require a lot of space, thus why I didn't feel like doing it on Steam Deck. I have plans to replay it on desktop PC once I resurrected successfully.
Old Post:
Used to hate the PC version when I was running it on Windows OS. However, thanks to Linux OS and ProtonDB reports, I was able to enjoy playing it without crashing in fifteen minutes. Now, I can do a proper 1CC attempt!
