I want to be real. Things haven't felt right for a while now. This past year and a half has been hard on all of us. I want to talk about this game, not because it's taken 150+ hours of my life to complete, but because every second I had the biggest, stupidest smile on... Continue Reading →
Hey y’all. It’s been a while since I’ve posted regularly on here, and I wanted to explain what’s been going on and where I’m at mentally. To be honest, I’m kinda burned out on the whole blogging thing. I’ve done like 20 different drafts on various topics, but I can’t seem to finish any of... Continue Reading →
This was supposed to be done by Mother's Day, but I never do anything on time, so why start now? I wanted to do this cute post on my favorite anime moms for a while now, but I realized that way too many moms in anime die before the opening credits. That would make this... Continue Reading →
I’m 100% Shonen trash, which means I love Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. The gorgeously detailed setpieces, unique historical setting, and memorable cast of characters (and Zenitsu) made for one of the most exciting Shonen Jump series in recent memory. I binged the entire manga shortly after finishing the first anime season, which only made... Continue Reading →
Like many old-school Nintendo fans, I first discovered Fire Emblem from Super Smash Bros. Melee. The long-running strategy RPG series was Japan-exclusive for the longest time, since Nintendo thought the games would be too complicated for our tiny Western brains. But once I unlocked Marth, and his hot-headed counterpart, Roy, in Smash, I just had... Continue Reading →
This one hurts, y’all. MASSIVE ENDING SPOILERS for the anime, mild manga spoilers ahead I’ve been a huge fan of The Promised Neverland ever since the first season dropped. I was so enamored with the story that I read the entire manga on the Shonen Jump mobile app. I couldn’t wait to see Emma, Ray,... Continue Reading →
When I was a kid, my favorite thing in the world was my dog-eared Game Boy Color. My family traveled a lot, and that little purple box was one of the few things that kept me sane on our endless car rides. I only had a few games on it: Pokémon (duh), Super Mario Bros.,... Continue Reading →
The 90’s and early 2000’s were a golden age for the JRPG genre. Games like Final Fantasy VII and Xenogears redefined video games as a storytelling medium with their rich characters and deep themes. But these games can often be tough to get into, due to their dense plots and obtuse battle mechanics. That’s what... Continue Reading →
Thanks to the wonderful Pinkie for tagging me here! I don’t do a lot of tag posts, but I really liked this one and thought it would be great for Women's History Month. There are a lot of great female characters in animation, who don’t always get the attention and respect they deserve. I wanted... Continue Reading →
I have a confession to make. For as much as I love video games, I'm kinda bad at them. My reflexes are shite, I get buttons wrong, and I get motion sickness playing first-person shooters. That always made Hollow Knight, Team Cherry's indie hit with Dark Souls-level difficulty, seem too impenetrable for a casual like... Continue Reading →
