Last Thoughts On LoveChoice

Note: There will be spoilers. If you'd rather play the game yourself, do so. Finishing up LoveChoice, a game I started last month and enjoyed...the first story, at least. There are three stories in total, with the second tackling a long distance relationship. Something I am very familiar with; all my relationships have...

What I'm Playing Now & Later

I talk a lot about my backlog, but not enough about the games I've played and loved (or didn't). I talk about them more frequently on Mastodon, but get very little, if any, feedback. So I figured: may as well save that energy for blog posts, as I end up writing blog length posts over there (5000 character count on my...

The Backlog: Insert Freud Joke Here

FLIES FLIES FLIES — An episodic VN about a guy who wakes up as a fly, and has to enlist the help of his ex-boyfriend and dads. There are three out of six episodes right now. It's a fun(ny) queer game, and a welcome distraction from the ongoing horrors of the world. Fostering Apocalypse — I watched Manlybadasshero's...

The Backlog: Depression and Death Games In The Afterlife

I intended to play more games in February, but I'll aim for more this month. Room of Depression — Doesn’t really match my experience with depression, but it’s not a one size fit all. Now, would I recommend it? Ehh…maybe when it’s on sale. Most recently, it was 60% off on Steam. I do appreciate the amount of detail put...

The Backlog: A New Kind of Blindness

The Blind Of The New World — Woah! Sleek art, sleek graphics, and a killer premise! This is a sci-fi VN where everyone gets a special eye transplant, allowing them to see vibrant holograms in an otherwise barren and bland world. The MC is not one of those people, unfortunately. This is a new form of blindness. It’s a...

The Backlog: These Kids Need Therapy

I was hoping to post this last month, but got distracted and needed time to collect my thoughts. My next post will feature more romance themed VNs, but I'd like to include other genres. It's a big "we'll see" moment. Chaos;Head: Noah — I finished this just before the new year, and while I have so many feelings and...

The Backlog: Condo

Short one this month! I've been super busy with work, but I found time to beat one game. I was hoping to talk about Chaos;Head Noah, but I'm still chipping away at that one. 😅 I'm really loving it so far, but the first chapter was so difficult to get through. The MC is…frustrating, to say the least. I think I’m halfway...

The Backlog: Camps, Cults, and Trans Allegories

Ascension: Transition and Silver — I haven’t read Roadside Picnic, which I’ve seen other reviewers insist this game was partially inspired by, so I can’t comment on that. But I will say it’s a wonderful trans allegory. Short, too. It can be finished in an hour and a half, though it took me nearly four cause I wanted all...

Diving Back Into The Game Backlog

I’ll be going through my backlog in alphabetical order for now, so some titles may be more recent than others. These first few games for sure are. There are a few VNs up ahead that I may skip for now, especially for the sake of reading order in series (looking at you, SciADV), but I’ll cross that bridge when I come to...

Clearing My Gaming Backlog

This is a series I started on my main blog a few years ago, but have since deleted. I kinda regret that, but at the same time...the posts themselves weren't as memorable. Except for The House of Fata Morgana and one or two others I can't recall right now. I'm more annoyed at losing the number of games I had in the...

Pokemon, Diet, and Overall Health

Starting small, with diet! Cutting down on my meat consumption has been easy. I was slightly tempted to order chicken in a wrap when we ordered out, but it was easy to suppress. Instead, I settled for the healthier option: a veggie wrap with hummus, rice, black beans, romaine lettuce, and onions, yum! Reminding myself...

So Long, Pikachu

I recently uninstalled Pokemon Go, a game I've played since launch. I even bought that fancy little device that spins stops and catches Pokemon for you, so I could be more involved with my surroundings (lol). As you may have guessed, it didn't help much. I'd still find myself glued to my phone, while out at the mall or...
