Well, that was a bit anticlimactic. The main story felt a lot shorter than the first game. Yep, I had about 60 hours on the first game, and only 30 on this one! I just realized I didn't see a single...

The unthinkable happened. I accidentally dropped my microSD card into a glass of water! Luckily, it seems fine. Please enjoy this meme I created to commemorate this event.

A meme of my own creation. It's the Gordon Ramsay "Oh dear, oh dear. Gorgeous." template with Tara holding cobra king, dark crab, and beavern.

I'm trying out Buffer to simultaneously cross-post across social media accounts. One thing I don't like is that I can't add alt text to videos or gifs (luckily I can go back and edit the post, at least on mastodon). Anyone use other free alternatives that have this?

Time for a new yet familiar adventure! Right away, I noticed improvements to the graphics and audio, despite being on the same system. There's a lot more color in the overworld and monster sprites. I...

Yesterday I finished the first Dragon Warrior Monsters game! Posted a couple blog posts. Today I started the sequel, but it's already a little different, and I'm not sure if I like it as much.

I hate to say it, but the 3D remake of Dragon Quest Monsters: Terry's Wonderland isn't working for me. I love the 3D models, but something about the camera movements makes me queasy. So, here we go...

After years, I finally figured out how to view alt text on images when accessing mastodon from Firefox for Android! Click the post, click the image,click the full size icon in the top right, THEN long press the image!

New tumblr post- and the last one for Dragon Quest VI! I finished the game yesterday. While I do love these DS remakes and the added content for mobile, playing it on emulated Android was a drag... but I should be on other consoles for the rest of the series! […]

As some of you may recall, I started this blog in December 2016 when I first started playing Torneko no Daibouken: Fushigi no Dungeon. I played it for about a month, fully expanding the shop but...

New post on my tumblr blog because... I finally finished Torneko no Daibouken: Fushigi no Dungeon! It only took me 8 years. This is the first Mystery Dungeon game, and it's one of my all-time favorites.

The other day I started playing a game I've never tried before: The Sims 2 for PSP. I'm actually having a lot of fun! It's also my first PSP game; anyone have any recommendations from this console's library? I like 3D action adventure games and RPGs.

For my birthday, my boyfriend got me a Trimui Brick handheld gaming device as a surprise! He preloaded it with a bunch of Dragon Quest games, including my beloved Torneko no Daibouken: Fushigi no Dungeon. We set it up running MinUI with PakUI, and so far it […]

I hate pointing user stories. At my previous job the points were roughly based on how many hours a task would take, which was bad enough, because how am I supposed to know? At my new job it's based on effort, which is way too abstract for me to quantify! And the numbers increase […]
