AND I'm interested in purchasing some vtech edutainment systems, such as V.Smile ... those come cheap but I didn't start collecting it yet ...

Out of curiosity, where does your interest in the VTech games come from? Are they games you'd consider fun enough to actually want to play?

Nah, not really, I just think the V.Smile system looks funky and as a 90s kid from Germany, Vtech actually is a well known and liked brand overall ... I got to learn that those Vtech consoles existed just a few months ago actually. It would probably become one of the parts of my collection that I just collect because it looks and feels exotic.

In terms of collecting gonna be focussing on jap exclusives more than previous years. and otherwise just gonna take it slow as usual.

I don't really try to "enjoy" this toy as a gamer ;D ;D ;D I'm just interested in the system. Cartridges look weird and are purple aging to grey ::) and the controllers look like they really suck ergonomicaly. I like such curiosities in my gaming room...

It could be interesting shelf candy I guess. well enjoy the hunt hope there aren't any grails for the system that cost an arm and a leg.
dhaabi:
As some may have noticed based on my limited games completed output this last quarter of the year, I have not been playing games as much for various reasons. As the beginning of the new year nears, I don't expect that to change for the foreseeable future either. It's not that I've grown tired of playing games, but I've been investing my free time in other activities lately that I don't think will change. In October, I devoted the majority of my free time toward watching one movie per day and then writing my thoughts for it; since November, I've been learning how to DM for D&D and planning for an upcoming campaign that's planned to begin proper early next month that I'm creating myself; and of course, there are other activities I devote free time toward. Having less time available for games may not be the case always, though. Although I will also mention that the amount of free time I have in general is also something I anticipate being more sparse going forward. Accordingly, I neither anticipate being able to complete 2026's 52 Game Challenge.
With that said, I still have gaming goals for 2026, all of which relate to playing habits:
• Continue playing the Resident Evil franchise
• Prioritize playing shorter games in general
• Play more short-length indie games on PC
• Play through one Yakuza game

• Finish Silent Hill franchise
• Begin Resident Evil franchise
• Play PlayStation VR
• Play through PlayStation major franchise entries
• Play one Final Fantasy game
• Play games for as many platforms as I can that are available to me
• Play an even greater variety of game genres than I did in 2024
• Play more short-length indie games on PC

After going back to look at my goals for 2025, I actually completed all but one (to play PlayStation VR) to some degree, although Final Fantasy ended up being substituted with other RPGs including Octopath Traveler and Persona 3 Reload. Besides Resident Evil, I did end up trying out other noteworthy PlayStation titles including Battle Arena Toshinden, Jumping Flash!, and Tekken, but I wasn't able to complete any of them. I really wanted to complete a prolific fighting genre game, but I just don't think I have the skill or the patience to hone such skills to be able to.
