It’s Thanksgiving today here in the states. Given the state of the country, I’m not feeling very thankful. I’m not feeling t all grateful. I’m fearful for what is to come in the upcoming years. I was going to set that aside, but I can’t do it quite yet. I’m still not over what happened… Continue Reading
As I was running errands this afternoon, I had MPR on. There was a program about social awkwardness and how to deal with it. The snippet I heard seemed to be focused on how awkwardness has increased since the pandemic. The guests were varied with one of them being a philosophy professor. I think another… Continue Reading
Let’s talk reviews some more. In the last post, I touched upon how I have different standards when I review indie games, especially those that are made by devs with less than twenty-five people. I know I put a lower number on it yesterday, but I do think anything up to twenty-five is very small.… Continue Reading
I’m writing even more about how I review things, specifically games. Here is the post I wrote about it yesterday. Today, I want to talk about how I have different criteria for different games. I don’t think that’s controversial, but what do I know? I’m sure there are plenty of people who think you should… Continue Reading
I’m still talking about reviews because I can. And because I find it an interesting topic. I detoured into what I disliked about Lies of P (Round8 Studio/NEOWIZ) in yesterday’s post. It wasn’t completely on topic, but it wasn’t completely off it, either. The part that wasn’t off topic was that reviewing is so subjctive.… Continue Reading
This is the second post on how I review things. Here is the first post I wrote about it yesterday. I really want to make it clear that when I review something, it’s more with the eye of what I like and don1’t like than what I think is objectively ‘good’. One of the funniest… Continue Reading
Let’s talk about reviews. Or rather, how I review things. I tihnk reviews in general should not be taken too seriously because oftentimes (maybe most of the time?), it comes down to a question of taste. Let’s be real. There are a glut of games out there. So many games. All the games! In the… Continue Reading
Yes, this is my third post for my official review of Spells & Secrets (Alchemist Interactive). Why? Because I still have things to say about it. Here is the second post in my trilogy of review posts. This will probably be the last one, but who can say for sure? At the end of the… Continue Reading
I have talked about the game, Spells & Secrets (Alchemist Interactive), before. In fact, I have, apparently, done an official review of it. This will be part two of that now that I have officially beaten the game. The first part of the review (which I have no recollection of writing) is here. I’ve also… Continue Reading
More about indie games and AAA games. Side note: And, yes, this is probably the earliest I have done this. Sony is talking about buying FromSoft’s parent company. Not because of FromSoft, per se, but that’s just a cherry on top of the deal. And it made me immediately worried because Sony looooooves themselves an… Continue Reading
