Accessibility shouldn’t be a Punishment

2 / 21 / 23

This is something I think about a lot, as someone who generally doesn’t play games for the challenge. It doesn’t mean I can’t or necessarily have the inability to, but a combination of various factors such as: I need to focus on something relaxing/engaging without the stress I’m not feeling well, but really want to… Read More

What makes a Game Genre?

2 / 13 / 23

This is something I’ve found myself thinking of a lot lately as certain types of game tropes become more prevalent than others. It first came up when my husband and I were discussing wanting a specific type of game that just… does not exist because certain aspects always end up becoming part of the concept… Read More

My Favorite Games of 2022 and Most Anticipated for 2023

1 / 11 / 231 / 11 / 23

I had been asked if I considered doing this and well, considering we’re already over a week into January, clearly not. I actually really struggle with picking favorites so this definitely isn’t really a “My most favorite games” list so much as a “I had a really good time playing this game” or in the… Read More

The confusion of Cats vs Pickles and the Versus World

12 / 27 / 222 / 12 / 23

If you asked me the main reason that I’ve been debating stopping at Gold Wave for collecting the “Versus World” (Which essentially includes all Cepia’s versus lines– Cats vs. Pickles, Dogs vs Squirls, Kittens vs Gherkins, the upcoming Bears vs Donuts, and recently teased Cows vs Aliens), it’d be hard to summarize it into just… Read More

Let’s talk about Beacon Pines!

9 / 21 / 229 / 20 / 22

Beacon Pines has been one of my most awaited games since I first heard about it. It heavily reminded me of Gravity Falls and the general thought of it as Winnie Pooh mixed with that kind of Mystery genre was so incredibly appealing to me. The Great Mouse Detective is still one of my favorite… Read More

Disney Dreamlight Valley – General thoughts so far!

9 / 18 / 229 / 19 / 22

I’ve actually been asked often, both by friends and random people who generally like these types of games, but also had a request for my thoughts at this point after playing for over 100 hours in nearly 2 weeks. As a reminder, the game is in Early Access and so anything I say here could… Read More

Gamescom 2022 Thoughts!

8 / 23 / 228 / 26 / 22

I’m not entirely sure what changed, but Gamescom feels bigger than ever this year so I figured I’d do a thoughts-related post similar to what I do for E3! As per usual, I’ll only bring up things I had thoughts on over everything (and usually just new stuff unless I feel like I have something… Read More

The Problem with Sonic Speed Simulator

6 / 5 / 226 / 5 / 22

In general, when I first heard about this, I expected something similar to Sonic Runners, just made into a game on Roblox, which isn’t really my thing, but knowing Chao would be part of it, I was there pretty much immediately. (If you’re thinking: “What about the Chao on Minecraft?”– the simple thing there is… Read More

Discovering old Drafts

5 / 11 / 22

While helping my husband with his website, I found a lot of old Drafts that I just… did not post for some reason, which is especially silly as many of them are pretty close to done! For fun, I decided to make a post including a couple of them: Last updated January 2014 If you… Read More

In which I talk about Cat Cafe Manager

4 / 25 / 22

I don’t always give my game thoughts here– usually because it doesn’t feel like I have enough to say beyond what I put in a description, but I’ve played a lot of this game recently (despite the size of my video) and it was one I had been really looking forward to since the initial… Read More
