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

Mini Reviews From Quarantine (Week One) – Trying to Stay Sane
I've been working from home full time and practicing "social distancing" as best as I can for exactly one week now. Sometimes it feels never ending, and so much of it just happened so fast. Luckily, I was decently prepared since I was somewhat heavily following the news in China and South Korea, but it's … Continue reading Mini Reviews From Quarantine (Week One) – Trying to Stay Sane
Into The Breach – Crits and Misses
The title of this post isn't a creative way of saying "pros and cons" (though that would be a pretty good title). I'm going to be writing out some thoughts I have on the literal concept of critical hits and missed attacks. More broadly, this is a post discussing RNG in Into The Breach. Into … Continue reading Into The Breach – Crits and Misses

Shadows in BTS’ Map of the Soul, Persona 4, and Jungian Psychology
For those that have seen my Twitter, my tagline is, "I tweet about kpop and video games and stuff I guess." Well, this is the first (and maybe the only) time I'll get to ever write about both in one blog post. BTS's Map of the Soul: 7 is about to come out and every … Continue reading Shadows in BTS’ Map of the Soul, Persona 4, and Jungian Psychology
Five of My Favorite Indie Game OSTs
In one of the first posts in this blog, I talked about the music in Final Fantasy. I went through the OSTs for the first nine mainline games and picked out a favorite song from each one. I wanted to do a post like that again for some of my other favorite franchises because I … Continue reading Five of My Favorite Indie Game OSTs
This Blog in 2020
I spent quite a bit of time today thinking about the future of this blog. I started this blog because I really enjoy journaling and I feel like blogging isn't too different other than the fact that it's public. This is a place for me to write up my thoughts and feelings on something I … Continue reading This Blog in 2020
A Biased List of the Top 5 Games I Played This Year (2019)
It's the end of the year and decade and everyone's making Top Games of 2019 or Top Games of 2010's lists, so I figured I would hop on the bandwagon. I can't say that I documented exactly what I played this year since obviously I wasn't planning on making a list like this, so this … Continue reading A Biased List of the Top 5 Games I Played This Year (2019)
First Impressions of Disco Elysium, and a Discussion of Tabletop RPGs
Of all the RPG video games I've played, Disco Elysium is the one that feels most like a paper and dice RPG. Let's back it up a bit. For the last month or two I kept hearing about a RPG called Disco Elysium. From what I gathered from the Steam description and comments on reddit, … Continue reading First Impressions of Disco Elysium, and a Discussion of Tabletop RPGs
Super Metroid From the Perspective of a Self-Proclaimed Metroidvania Fangirl
In July I wrote a blog post called "Bloodstained From the Perspective of a Castlevania Fangirl". This post can be considered its sequel. I love Metroidvanias. It's one of my favorite genres. The Castlevania handhelds more or less led me to a rabbit hole that got me into playing video games that didn't have the … Continue reading Super Metroid From the Perspective of a Self-Proclaimed Metroidvania Fangirl
