I always enjoy E3, even the disappointing ones. There's something really exciting about having non-stop reveals and trailers for several days. It's the dopamine hit of seeing something new and shiny, or seeing something you've been anticipating for a while. Every year, I try make a list of games to keep an eye on so … Continue reading My E3 2021 Watch List
Version 1.5 of Genshin Impact introduced a housing system into the game via the "Serenitea Pot" and it's a addition that I really enjoy. I've spent a lot of time on it so far. Back in the Animal Crossing craze of early 2020, I saw a lot of posts of people blogging their island building … Continue reading My Genshin Impact Teapot Realm – End of 1.5
I received Dandara as a birthday gift back in February and I've finally gotten around to playing it. To be honest, I'm not really sure how to describe my feelings about this game...which is why I'm going to try to do it anyway. Regardless, I'm pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Dandara is … Continue reading Thoughts on “Dandara” (Trials of Fear Edition)
Sony officially announced that the PlayStation Store for the PS3, PSP, and PSVita will be shut down. It's a shame that no one will be able to buy games digitally on those consoles anymore. Physicals will still be in circulation, and I'm curious to see if the prices of big name games will shoot up. … Continue reading The Second Death of the PSP/PSVita
Pokemon's 25th birthday is a day that I've been anticipating for two reasons. The first is that I've been playing Pokemon my whole life. The second is that my birthday happens to be the day right before the day Pokemon was first released which means that I'm turning 25 this Friday and that's a little … Continue reading Reminiscing on 25 Years of Pokemon
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
