I consider myself an art enthusiast first and foremost. My fave mediums are comics and video games; games in particular are an incredibly medium with a lot of unexplored space. Catch me streaming sometime, where I try to talk about "games as art", but mostly just yap.

In ten minutes I'll be playing Once Upon a Tile, a dungeon-building game about guiding a mouse through the woods using careful tile placements. Thank you so much to Knothorn Studio for providing me with a key and entrusting me with your passion! www.youtube.com/watch?v=77SK...

I've been hearing a lot of hype around this one, everyone I've seen play it says that there's one game in here they would've considered their GotY 2024 on it's own. So here I am to see if it's the same for me- but I kinda don't like retro games?? www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIUS...

We should start forcing elected officials to livestream themselves 24 hours a day. If you want power over other people, you gotta let strangers watch you take a shit.

I really hate in writing discourse when someone is like, "the author really messed up with the focus of this work, they should've just done these genre tropes". People are out here making Art and some dudes are honestly mad that the same seven stories aren't being cynically rehashed year after year.

Nobody on the planet is more excited than I am about the Recettear remaster, but I swear I'm going to war if they try to "fix" the translation.

Getting into a long running manga or novel series feels so daunting at the start... so why do I feel dread instead of triumph when I realize I'm about to catch up...?

Both games I'm playing now have serious gap-moe. I Am Future is a cozy game about being the last survivor of a horrible apocalypse. Digimon Survive is a mascot game about watching everybody around you fucking die. They both have the opposite of the expected tone and I love it.

I'm so deep into being a shitty boring adult that I just got a hit of dopamine seeing the garbage truck pull up, because I know my bin is completely full and it was almost a problem.

What an amazing collection of creature designs. 20+ years of playing RPGs and I can honestly say I've never seen anything like some of these. Big nozzle handed mech with the pneumatic legs is particularly awesome. I wanna see him waddling along on those lil' thangs so bad.

I don't really understand why I like I Am Future as much as I do. It's mostly just a bunch of chore loops waiting for enough resources to build an incremental upgrade to your tools that allows you to clean up slightly more of your roof and OH MY GOD LOOK HOW MUCH SPACE I HAVE NOW!

Been a while since I made a "Going Live" post, but I'm very excited about the game I'm starting on today's stream, in just ten minutes! We'll be playing Digimon Survive! Ah Digimon, my comfort series, I can't wait to get attached to a whole new cast of tamers. Surely cozy awaits!

Arx Fatalis is a bundle of cool ideas held back only by the limitations of it's era. I'd love to see a modern take on it's magic and crafting systems. If the symbol recognition, enemy AI, UI design and quest guidance were just sliiiiiightly better, it'd be a top shelf rpg.

Smartphone design peaked in like 2015 and we've been going downhill ever since. Bring back removable batteries and textured backs, they're making our devices into slippery little grenades now and I hate it.

I don't give a rat's how you feel about Pokemon or Palworld. The idea of a company winning a lawsuit based on protected gameplay mechanics is bad for video games. We want MORE iteration in gaming, not less. The idea that a company can "own" a core system is bad for gamers.
