In yesterday’s post, I talked about what I liked about Shadow of the Erdtree (Elden Ring DLC, FromSoft, my GOTY), and one thing that I really didn’t like. The latter was how easy it was to fuck up the NPC questlines, which was somewhat my fault, but also the fault of the strength of the… Continue Reading
Yesterday, I revealed my actual Game of the Year, and I’m sure it was a huge surprise to exactly no one. Most of the time, I have to make up a game of the year award that I can bestow upon FromSoft because it’s not as if they have a game releasing every year. This… Continue Reading
Alright. I have been dilly-dallying long enough. I have stretched out my games of the year in my usual fashion. Yesterday, I talked about two indie games that are on my top five non-From games of all time list, and today, I am finally going to announce my game of the year. As if I… Continue Reading
In yesterday’s post, I was talking about my two top five (six) list of games. One is my list of the FromSoft games and the other is my list of my five favorite other games of all time. I have to do it because otherwise my top five fave list would just be From games.… Continue Reading
I’m back for my (probably) last post about my game of the year (GOTY). I say probably because we all know I have the tendency to go off the rails. I have every intention of making this the last post, but who knows what I might think of along the way? Here’s an interesting thing… Continue Reading
My usual schtick for my game of the year is to have two. One From game and one non-From game. I thought this year was going to be different (only the one From game) because other than the obvious, I didn’t really love any other game I played this year. The two I mentioned in… Continue Reading
Well, we’re coming to the end of the year. This year has gone by so fast. Like a blink of an eye, and it’s been the worst year of my life thus far. I lost my soul in February, and I have not gotten it back again. I keep on keeping on, but I feel… Continue Reading
Am I making a third post about Balatro (LocalThunk)? Yup. Did I ragequit the game when getting what I considered to be an unfair final boss? Also yup! Did I go back the next day and win the next run? Yup for the third time! Let’s talk about that loss. Before I do, here is… Continue Reading
Let’s talk more about Balatro (LocalThunk) and indie games in general. Yesterday, I did A Quick Look at the game, and I have more to asy about it. It’s hard to describe to someone who hasn’t played it because you simply cannot capture the addictive nature of it in words. As I mentioned yesterday, just… Continue Reading
There is a phenomenon in gaming called Balatro (LocalThunk). It’s hard to describe what it is exactly, but I can start by saying it’s a poker-based game that is also a roguelike. If that sounds like a weird match-up, you’re right–but you’re also wrong. It’s developed by one guy, LocalThunk, who was inspired by a… Continue Reading
