Absolutely agreed on every point.

Thoughts on Silksong? Hollow Knight rewired my brain and what to expect from a good metroidvania. I’m now 70 hours into the sequel and think I like it even more.

That’s me and Chrono Trigger—I will never forget where I was or the circumstances surrounding my first day with it.

My best friend made it from the text of my first book!

I so desperately want to be one of those writers who pumps out a book every year or two, but between work, mental health, and familial/life demands... it just ain't in the cards. Not now, anyway.

But at least I can take a break from wallowing at the end of Act II of Silksong to wallowing in Hawkins, Indiana for a bit.

But hey, it's all story fodder, right?

*sigh*

Same! That, and Steven Beattie posted about it for his blog. But yeah, total silence otherwise.

It's a top-five FF score for sure. Absolutely loved it.

The plot has some messiness and the side quests are all pretty dull (though they often have good character beats), but it remains a fave for sure.

the world is a bit smaller tonight with the death of Alice Wong. if you aren't familiar with who she was please pick up any of her books.
