Games (and Other Bits) // Musings and Thoughts
[ but it's really more like semi-coherent rambling ]
Kim from LaterLevels has a thing going on right now called #LoveYourBacklog Week and I thought it was pretty cool and my backlog needed some updating anyway so here's my contribution! Console Bioshock Castlevania: Mirror of Fate Darksiders Death Stranding Dragon Age: Origins Kirby and the Amazing Mirror Legend of Zelda: A Link to the … Continue reading Backlog – 02/11/2020
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
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
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
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)
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
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
Hello, and welcome to the post that literally no one asked for but now exists I guess. Pictured above is Malamar, a Pokémon with an objectively stupid evolution method. How do you evolve it? Well obviously you just have to raise an Inkay to level 30 with the 3DS held upside down. So I started … Continue reading The Pokemon Gen With The Weirdest Evolution Methods? – A Numerical Breakdown
The year is 2019 and I have finally completed Final Fantasy VI. Was it worth the fifteen years of hype? (Note: Even though this game is pretty old, this post does not include story spoilers, but does discuss the second half of the game). I really enjoyed the first half of the game in the … Continue reading Thoughts on Final Fantasy VI – Balance and Ruin
The idea for this post came to me while I was agonizing over my classes/romances/recruits/whatever in Fire Emblem: Three Houses because I remembered that I had a whole page in my planner for Fire Emblem: Awakening. I also recently went through all my diaries about a month ago (which I would not recommend as it … Continue reading Planning My Way Through RPGs Since 2006
