What I hope sticks around from Animal Crossing: New Horizons and what I really hope doesn’t

2 / 26 / 247 / 17 / 24

Inspired by Jeff’s Youtube video, I kind of wanted to make my own post. If you do not know who Jeff is, he’s makes Animal Crossing blogs (for every Animal Crossing) including for some other games as well. We first became aware of one another during the Tomodachi Life and Animal Crossing: New Leaf eras… Read More

Most Anticipated Games for 2024

1 / 9 / 249 / 24 / 24

I had gotten a few requests to make one for my personal list of games I’m looking forward to, along with that clearly winning the poll I made on Twitter, so that’s essentially what this is. Any game on this list has been confirmed to be releasing in 2024, at least at the time of… Read More

Let’s talk about Peridot! (The Game by Niantic)

5 / 18 / 236 / 5 / 23

I’ve had a few people ask about what I’ve thought of the game at this point due to having played some of the Beta and I think the biggest thing is I constantly kind of regret not putting more time into the Beta, but I suppose I couldn’t predict the kind of changes Niantic would… Read More

Cats vs Pickles: Gold Wave pushed back to Fuchsia

5 / 16 / 235 / 23 / 23

Recently announced earlier this week on Cepia’s official Facebook Group for Cats vs Pickles was that the rest of Gold Wave (which would have likely been Sets F, G, and H) have been pushed back to Fuchsia Wave, which honestly, if they are going the way of smaller waves/batches overall, I’m not too bothered by.… Read More

Honkai: Star Rail – First Impressions

5 / 12 / 235 / 14 / 23

For reference purposes, this comes from someone who has not seen any of the Beta footage, has not played the other Honkai game, and has just finished the full Snowy Planet story. While I will try to not be super specific, there may still be some spoilers. To be honest, I hadn’t actually planned to… Read More

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
