Happy new year ol' subspuffers! I hope 2025 will be great for you all

I went to Chicago for a conference a few months ago and it was my first time out of Europe (except the UK lol). I was incredibly stressed about it but ended up loving it, I'll bet you Japan will be similarly amazing

Moby, if you didn't like Superhot, you should try its sequel, mind control delete. I had the exact same experience you had with the first one, which I thought had a really interesting game mechanic and then does almost nothing with it (and the story is stuck up its own ass). The sequel does much more with the core concept.
 
As for my GOTY 2024, it has to be Balatro. I haven't been so addicted to a game in a long time

I spent the last three weeks of 2024 sick as a dog so 2025 is at least looking up on that front!
 
I'm also going on a trip to Japan in a few days and I'm absolutely fucking terrified oh god why did I decide to do this I just want to crawl into my bed and miss my flight and just pretend I never organized it

That's a really good question.. the most objective measure would probably be the state of the game itself, which would be briefly after the Pyromania update I'd say. Casual matchmaking worked like a charm, comp matchmaking was still kind of alive, and I have to give it to Valve that, although it sucks they abandoned TF2 after pyromania, at least they left it in the most balanced state it has ever been in, mostly because of the flamethrower and airblast overhauls. 
 
Subjectively speaking I have several ''eras'' of TF2 that I look back on very fondly, mostly because of the people I played with more than the balance of the game itself. The #1 without a doubt that way was very early on, when I played TF2 with a bunch of high school friends. We'd have LAN parties and play all night surviving on kitkats and pizza, it's the super stereotypical 'good old days' but it sure as hell was the best. I'm still in contact with most of them and after everyone dispersed to college we still occasionally played TF2 together. By now, only one of them still sometimes plays TF2, but we still play other things together, so considering we're all boring 30 year olds now I really lucked out with that gang.
 
I also played 6v6 for a while which I still highly recommend everyone to try, it's basically an entirely different game from pub TF2 but it's just so fun. I've played on several teams but the team I played on the longest really was a gang of guys I all liked, and it was a blast to play with them. I have this very vivid memory of playing scout vs soldier MGE on granary last while all hanging in mumble and someone from the team strutting on his guitar, it was the absolute best. The team eventually hit some drama and team members got replaced, and not much later I stopped because I had to focus on university.
 
Then there was when mann vs machine dropped, and cmndr hosted a server on which we could all do the missions together. That was short lived but it was a really cool way to experience that gamemode, especially considering how toxic the MvM community is if you've ever tried to play a game with randoms. So that definitely deserves a shoutout.
 
To round it out, as cheesy as it is, current TF2 on Uncletopia is just... kind of everything I want from the game? I like the ruleset, there's skilled players, and from where I live there are like 20 servers that I can access. It's a shame the servers were born out of the bot crisis, and I haven't really connected much with many of the players on Uncletopia, but I can say for sure that if it wasn't for those servers I would have dropped TF2 by now.
