This post as absolutely nothing to do with video games or anything else I've ever written about. This post is being written right now because StackExchange and Google have failed me on solving this problem, so maybe one day someone else can use this post to fix their USB (also for the future me, because … Continue reading Restoring an Etcher Flashed USB that isn’t showing up in Windows
Blog Domain and Blog Icon Updates
For some reason, this morning I decided to look at my blog from an incognito browser. I wanted to see what this blog looks like to a random visitor on the internet. What did I see? Well, I saw a lot of ads. On my recent GNOG post, there were five ads scattered throughout the … Continue reading Blog Domain and Blog Icon Updates
GNOG’s Vibrant Puzzle Boxes (Review)
A long and unnecessarily wordy version of this title could be something like "GNOG is a psychedelic and musical experience that involves opening up boxes with faces on them". Okay, let's back up a bit and break that into three categories: gameplay, visuals, and audio. As a side note, I think this is the first … Continue reading GNOG’s Vibrant Puzzle Boxes (Review)
What is a “Metroidvania”?
Recently, one of my friends started playing Hollow Knight and a couple hours in, I realized that he didn't really know what a Metroidvania was. In that sense, me saying "Hollow Knight is a Metroidvania" is equivalent to saying "Hollow Knight is a game in that one genre I like". So what even is it? … Continue reading What is a “Metroidvania”?
A Filler Post on a Lazy Sunday – Blog Tags
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

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
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
