[ but it's really more like semi-coherent rambling ]
Is this blog post really just an excuse to post aesthetic tea photos and Uncle Iroh quotes? ...Probably? Also, I like tea. For someone who isn't supposed to be consuming caffeine, I own an absolutely insane amount of tea, as shown here. This is just what I have on this shelf right now. There are … Continue reading Adagio’s Fandom Tea (feat. Fire Emblem: Three Houses and Uncle Iroh)
Yup. I'm back on my blog writing about Metroidvanias... again.... I've been trying to fill the Hollow Knight shaped hole in my heart and I'm only partially joking when I say that. Also, I got my hands on a copy of Circle of the Moon. Also, I am trash and a hopeless addict. This list … Continue reading Mini Reviews From My Metroidvania Binge
"At last the book was ready, complete with a short preface explaining that this was "a story my mother used to tell me at bedtime, when I was a girl. She said it was from a book that had come to her grandmother as a gift early in the last century. Although no copy has … Continue reading The Great Good Thing by Roderick Townley (not a review)
Note: This is a blog post primarily on Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and a little bit of Stardew Valley. The term min-maxing refers to a method of maximizing one's strength while minimizing weaknesses. Supposedly, this term originates from pen-and-paper RPGs such as Dungeons and Dragons, but I wasn't able … Continue reading A Discussion On Playing Games “Efficiently” (Min-Maxing)
Like many big Fallout: New Vegas fans, my first impression of Obsidian Entertainment's The Outer Worlds was that it seemed a bit like a spiritual successor to New Vegas. Like New Vegas, Outer Worlds is a RPG with FPS gameplay, but the primary focus is on role-playing stat checks, perks, quests, exploration, companions, and etc. … Continue reading The Landscapes of The Outer Worlds
This post as absolutely nothing to do with video games or anything else I've ever written about. This post is being written right now because StackExchange and Google have failed me on solving this problem, so maybe one day someone else can use this post to fix their USB (also for the future me, because … Continue reading Restoring an Etcher Flashed USB that isn’t showing up in Windows
For some reason, this morning I decided to look at my blog from an incognito browser. I wanted to see what this blog looks like to a random visitor on the internet. What did I see? Well, I saw a lot of ads. On my recent GNOG post, there were five ads scattered throughout the … Continue reading Blog Domain and Blog Icon Updates
A long and unnecessarily wordy version of this title could be something like "GNOG is a psychedelic and musical experience that involves opening up boxes with faces on them". Okay, let's back up a bit and break that into three categories: gameplay, visuals, and audio. As a side note, I think this is the first … Continue reading GNOG’s Vibrant Puzzle Boxes (Review)
Recently, one of my friends started playing Hollow Knight and a couple hours in, I realized that he didn't really know what a Metroidvania was. In that sense, me saying "Hollow Knight is a Metroidvania" is equivalent to saying "Hollow Knight is a game in that one genre I like". So what even is it? … Continue reading What is a “Metroidvania”?
Right now I feel the need to do something a little more "productive" than five more hours of Animal Crossing, so I figured it would finally be time to tackle two of the tag posts thrown my way by some amazing people I haven't properly thanked yet. Back in January, Emiko of Ramblings N' Scribbles … Continue reading A Filler Post on a Lazy Sunday – Blog Tags
