Thoughts on Theatrhythm Final Bar Line

May 16, 2023 ~ Larissa ~ Leave a comment

Fun fact: the first blog post I wrote on this blog back in 2019 was on a post on my favorite songs from each of the first nine Final Fantasy games. I am a huge fan of the Nobuo Uematsu's Final Fantasy soundtracks. Anyway, I was playing some karaoke in Yakuza Kiwami and had a … Continue reading Thoughts on Theatrhythm Final Bar Line

Murder By Numbers – aka my dive into Picross

March 17, 2023 ~ Larissa ~ Leave a comment

Murder By Numbers is a game with an interesting elevator pitch - it's murder mystery visual novel meets picross. In theory, it sounds quite intriguing, which is how it got onto my radar. In practice, the two did not mesh well together and it ended up being a very subpar visual novel with a very … Continue reading Murder By Numbers – aka my dive into Picross

3DS Exclusive Highlights (Part 2)

February 5, 2023 ~ Larissa ~ Leave a comment

This is the follow up to my first 3DS Exclusive Highlights posts - because the 3DS eShop is closing for good next month and we're going to lose a lot of great games into the void 😦 As mentioned, I'm really not a huge fan of how this is going to force a lot of … Continue reading 3DS Exclusive Highlights (Part 2)

My 5 Favorite Audiobooks I Listened to in 2022

January 6, 2023 ~ Larissa ~ 2 Comments

A bit of a break from my usual game related posts. I got really into audiobooks this last year. I had listened to some on/off in prior years, but early this year I hit issues with eye strain and got a Libro.fm subscription, an alternative to Audible that supports local bookstores. I hit a total … Continue reading My 5 Favorite Audiobooks I Listened to in 2022

My 5 Favorite Games I Played in 2022

December 23, 2022 ~ Larissa ~ Leave a comment

2022. What a year. I started off strong (/s) with some health scares then moved 500+ miles to the other side of the country, met a ton of new people and friends, picked up some new hobbies, got engaged, lost my job in a round of layoffs, and then joined a sub-20 person startup. Phew. … Continue reading My 5 Favorite Games I Played in 2022

Demos I Played at PAX West 2022

September 12, 2022 ~ Larissa ~ Leave a comment

I finally went to PAX for the first time! It was a lot of fun, definitely met my expectations and was also somehow even larger than I thought it would be. I went on Saturday, admittedly because Reggie Fils-Aimé was at a panel that day, but that also was likely the busiest day so unfortunately, … Continue reading Demos I Played at PAX West 2022

3DS Exclusive Highlights (Part 1)

July 4, 2022 ~ Larissa ~ Leave a comment

Part 1 because I'm still working my way through my backlog. As some may already know, the 3DS eShop is closing in March 2023 (which quite frankly sort of sucks and is not a very good thing in my opinion but that's a whole other conversation to be had). While it will still be possible … Continue reading 3DS Exclusive Highlights (Part 1)

Toronto Game Jam 2022 Experience

May 22, 2022 ~ Larissa ~ Leave a comment

I spent the weekend of the June 13th participating in the Toronto Game Jam! These are some notes on the experience I had. I joined the Game Jam as a part of a team with some friends (as opposed to a "floater" without a team). At first I wasn't going to attend because I don't … Continue reading Toronto Game Jam 2022 Experience

Thoughts on Pyre (Spoiler Free)

May 9, 2022 ~ Larissa ~ Leave a comment

I'm currently on a second playthrough of Pyre. I wasn't sure if I liked it in the beginning, but I think I can now more definitively say that I like it. It's quite an oddball and fairly experimental. I'm not sure how polarizing this game was when it was released, but I can imagine it … Continue reading Thoughts on Pyre (Spoiler Free)

Memorializing Hollow Knight (+ more) Art in r/Place 2022

April 10, 2022April 28, 2022 ~ Larissa ~ Leave a comment

I feel like I'm just a tad bit late on this post but oh well, better late than never I guess. For those that don't know of r/Place, it's a social experiment that took place for April Fools that involves a large canvas in which one user can change a pixel once every five minutes. … Continue reading Memorializing Hollow Knight (+ more) Art in r/Place 2022
