Greetings folks! Hey hello there, hope you’re all doing good out there. Honestly, I don’t think I’ll ever write something again on here for whatever reason behind it. The truth is, I still have a will to make an AOTY list kind of thing by the end of 2024, yet I failed to do it. I did post my squa...
