Hi. These are words about games I’ve played.
I used to run some gaming websites, but those are all gone now. Right around When The World Ended, I found myself writing about games again. I don’t really know why, it just seemed like a good idea. I had thoughts and didn’t have a place for them, and I know better than to shout into the void of Twitter or Reddit, so I shouted into a text editor.
Several years on and I have now written a bunch of words about a bunch of games, so here’s a website. I try to write at least a little about any game I consider myself “done” with, either because I squeezed all the gaming enjoyment out of it, or because it infuriated me.
Balatro (2024)
A game about making and breaking rules pretending to be a game about Poker
Mario vs. Donkey Kong (2024)
Nintendo again begs for us to invent a new term in the port-remaster-remake spectrum
Your 2023 End of Year Round-Up
2023 was a truly ludicrous year of gaming. Maybe not on the scale of 1998, but man there were a whole lot of great games.
Best Indie: A very close toss-up between Dredge, Cocoon, and Sea of Stars… but my heart says Sea of Stars if I had to choose. (Edit: Suika Game and Cobalt Core also get big big big late honorable mentions, but Sea of Stars was still the one I enjoyed the most.
