Surprise Attack!
Every once in a while, a game (or game addon) releasing imminently comes to my attention seemingly out of nowhere. Often it’s simply the case it just wasn’t one of interest — until all of a sudden it is. More…
Blogger Challenge — Give Back to an Indie Developer
Look, being honest. I’m about to go on a tangent and the post hasn’t even started yet. Yesterday evening my brother finished Final Fantasy VII Remake, which makes it my turn to play through. I got to kick that play…
Deep Rock Galactic: The Solo Experience
Until quite recently, I was playing Deep Rock Galactic as an exclusively cooperative experience. I would have gone so far as to say: Deep Rock Galactic is a cooperative game. And sure. That’s how I would expect that most people…

The Real Neat Versatile Blogger Award
I had an issue. But I turned it into an opportunity, so don’t worry. Both Tessa/Endalia AND Solarayo nominated me for different awards. Tessa tagged me for Versatile Blogger Award. And I thought… What better way to demonstrate versatility than…
