[ a blog in which i pretend like i know how to write ]
Like many people on the internet, I spent my entire life reading manga from random scanlations scattered across various sites (some sketchier than others). However, since the start of this year, I've realized that I now have the means to support the creators, so I've moved to reading manga on my Kindle. I do try … Continue reading Reading Manga on a Kindle – a size comparison
I actually did it. I actually got all the achievements in Hades, and these are some of my random thoughts. Very rarely do I ever go for 100%. Usually there's a handful of achievements that I just don't care about and my backlog also keeps growing, but Hades was just so stupidly addicting that I … Continue reading Hades 100% Completion
This blog is relatively new, but it grew a lot in 2020 which I'm pretty happy about. I don't remember how many followers I had in 2019, but I think it was less than 10. Today while writing this post, this blog has 56 followers. That's wild. I really really appreciate it. I think the … Continue reading This Blog in 2021
Another year, another blog, another end of the year top 5 post. Unlike last year, I actually kept a list of everything I played. Also unlike last year, picking my top 5 this year was incredibly difficult. I think I spent all of 10 minutes making a top 5 of 2019 list because I had … Continue reading My 5 Favorite Games I Played in 2020
As the internet sinks into Cyberpunk 2077 hype, I settled on a different RPG released last week: Monster Sanctuary (it’s also a Metroidvania so of course I’m playing it). It's actually been in early access for quite a while but the full release dropped on Dec 8th and that’s when I started playing. I had … Continue reading Monster Sanctuary – tips for the last couple bosses
We've entered the new console generation this week with the release of the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, and this generation seems to be one of subscription services like Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Now. At the very least, Microsoft seems to be pushing Game Pass hard, especially right now in which Halo Infinite has … Continue reading My Xbox Game Pass (PC) Experience and Backlog – 11/12/2020
To be honest, I don't often play games with a keyboard and mouse because I tend to prefer using a controller. Dishonored 2 happens to be the only one I've played recently and it's a pretty fun game, so I figured I'd also use this opportunity to write a little bit about it. (This post … Continue reading ErgoDox EZ Struggles – Part 2 – Dishonored 2
As much as I loved the rainbow LED lights and the super obnoxious click-clacks of blue switches on my previous keyboard, I decided the pick up and try out the ErgoDox EZ. My primary motive here was that I seem to often have pain and discomfort in my pinkies. I dislocated my right pinky back … Continue reading ErgoDox EZ Struggles – Part 1
Saying goodbye to Spiritfarer feels like saying goodbye to one of the spirits. I feel fulfilled and ready to move on and yet, I have a strong longing for more. Okay let's back up a little bit. What is Spiritfarer? It's described as a "cozy management game about dying". You play as Stella, a young … Continue reading Spiritfarer – Saying Goodbye (Spoiler Free)
Baba is You is a puzzle game with an interesting concept that I've been playing on-off since early this year. The entire game is based around a clever mechanic of pushing rules apart and together: manipulating the rules and objects of each level. Here, the level starts with the rules "FLAG IS WIN", "BABA IS … Continue reading BABA IS YOU, but sometimes WALL IS YOU
