🌓Sale It: meh game, big sale before risking (huge flaws)
🌒Forget It: bad/unfun game, not worth your time
🌑BURN IT: this game should not exist

Oh hey, BlueSky! Long time no see! I've been preoccupied with Sticky Business, a cozy game about running a sticker business and getting to know your customers through their emails. It's a highly enjoyable, relaxing timesink that will trick you into thinking you could be a graphic designer! 🥰🌝#BuyIt

I'm not built for the social internet anymore. I don't want to spend as much time here as I used to on Twitter, which means I'll never gain the kind of traction these platforms incentivize. Oh well, this will end up as a venting ground for my thoughts, i suppose. So be it.

Last night I finished my first playthrough of #TheOuterWorlds & immediately started a second playthrough because I saw potential for how things could be done so much differently. What a fantastic game! If you've been scared off by middling reviews in the past, don't. It's SO GOOD. 🌝Buy It!

I'm a former mobile DJ of 25+ years currently at a WFH office job. My team likes when I suggest a song every day to broaden their musical horizons, so why not try it here too? Today's suggestion was RHCP's rambunctious cover of Stevie Wonder's "Higher Ground", enjoy! open.spotify.com/track/5arVt2...
Higher Ground - Remastered 2003

No disrespect to the work larger teams put into AAA releases, but I find it so much more rewarding scouring Steam for new indie & AA games & seeing what smaller teams come up with. I'm sure I spend way more money over time, & not every game's a hit of course, but it's about the journey & discovery.

If you listen to Caravan Palace's "Wonderland" and don't have an uncontrollable urge to at least do a little chair-dancing and/or toe-tapping, you need to do some serious soul searching.

I've been talking pretty exclusively about games so far in my time here, but I'm also a huge music nerd (worked as a mobile DJ for 25+ years), & today I'd like to sing the praises of Caravan Palace, my favorite electroswing artist. Lone Digger, Wonderland, MAD, Miracle, so many bangers! 🕺🎵💃

One of my greatest joys in life is sharing something I love with someone and finding out they enjoyed it. Board game, videogame, music, it doesn't matter. Sharing art (especially games and music!) with others is one of my love languages, which is why I love reviewing games so much. ❤️🔥
if i can influence even ONE person to play a video game that they’ve never played before, i consider that one of the biggest accomplishments i could ever make!
spreading your love for a video game is SO important! you could possibly introduce someone to their new favorite game! how cool is that?! 🥹

THIS. There are so many amazing indie games out there, you can definitely find something to fit your tastes. FWIW, if you want a recommendation for an indie title, you can always reach out to me, I'm happy to offer recommendations anytime (esp roguelike deckbuilders)!

I'm playing through The Outer Worlds for the first time, and I have quite a few thoughts on it so far. I haven't finished, so I'm not ready to give it a full review yet, but I definitely have opinions, most of them positive so far. Let's see if I can unpack them all constructively, eh? (1/?)

I'm so used to being a game reviewer, that's just what I'm used to doing on social media. You'll see a lot of those here, and I won't lie, I'll use this space as an outlet for those a lot of the time, but I promise that's not all it'll be. Hang around, I'm actually a real person, I promise. Heh. 😆

Card Survival: Tropical Island, an opaque card game (think turn-based Cultist Simulator) that's punishing but makes you feel both smart & dumb as you figure it out without the time frustration of CS. Boardgamers: think Robinson Crusoe but with even less guidance. Fun but tough! Rating: 🌔Wishlist it!

Hexarchy: a 4X deckbuilder (!) w/online PvP or PvE co-op for up to 4 ppl (!!) that finishes in <3hrs (!!!). Player powers, randomized maps, everything you want from a civ game in a single session. Runs a little laggy, but worth it for the gameplay, esp co-op w/friends (let's play!) Rating: 🌝Buy It!
