it doesn't seem like curiouscat or askfm or anything are around anymore, so I'm gonna pose the question here: what are some questions you have for me or topics you'd like to see me cover on my blog? I'd like some material for shorter essays, since my own always balloon out of proportion lol
I hope everyone's staying warm! the snow has been a bit of a dud over here so far, although maybe it will be prettier in the morning. luckily, I've finally gotten some time to work on my dialhex review! it's certainly not the best of the bit gen games, but it has its charms. link below!

kojima perfectly framed the two mgs ps2 games: flawless, high-framerate vr simulation thriller mgs2 and rugged, vintage, low-framerate jungle survival mgs3. if the two were flipped framerate-wise they artistically wouldn't make any sense...

coming back from wizardry, the linear room-by-room structure from etrian odyssey feels quaint (playing 5 rn). what's the point of exploring the labyrinth when it's a straight line?

tonight I'm returning to everybody's golf with a review of the sixth mainline title, the lone vita game in the series (which eventually made its way to ps3 as well)! digging back on gamefaqs clued me in on its real nature: taut, cruel design for online sickos from the developer's apex. link below!

not the greatest magfest (got sick early on and missed a lot of people until I showed up in the wee hours on sunday) but aquarush is one of the coolest under-the-radar puzzle games I've played. change each piece's shape on the fly to clear the board as fast as possible... so neat

this is from yesterday on the other site but outside of the single-player discourse bubble league is still popular with normal people... it was huge when I was in high school, huge when I was in college, and now I have students who play it. I don't understand the casual difference tbh

out of the "get a load of my SWEET 3x3" games, has smt nocturne had the biggest fall-off? I don't see it as often anymore and most shooters I knew for the game have cooled on it

last minute bandwagon before the ball drops... here's all the games I finished this year. I've been scaling back every year, although I'm probably still playing the same amount as previous years, just with different priorities (200 hours of TAP and a lot of one-off plays to try stuff out)

been having a lot of fun playing video games on my break (and, for better or worse, not writing about them!), and I wanted to quickly drop thoughts on the many games I played this year that I didn't finish but still had thoughts about. I've got 36 games: 18 today, and 18 later this week. link below!
