NextFest: The least bad part of February this year (part 3)
We’re near the end of NextFest once again, and if there’s one thing on Earth I’m satisfied with, it’s the quality of the demos I’ve seen there. There…
NextFest: The least bad part of February this year (part 2)
God, let me forget. I wish I could just forget everything. So I’m thankful for more demos from Steam’s NextFest to help with that (see part one here.)…
NextFest: The least bad part of February this year (part 1)
In this age of insanity, it’s nice to know that at least NextFest is a regular occurrence. It almost has the feel of an actual games trade show,…
Audiobook review: The Wake by Paul Kingsnorth
Note: This novel deals with a lot of rough shit some of which I’m going to discuss. Be warned! I’ve been working so much lately, just about 24/7,…
A review of Chill With You: Lo-Fi Story
When I started this blog 13 years ago I didn’t imagine I’d be reviewing a game like this. Or more accurately a tool like this, because it’s maybe…
A review of Juufuutei Raden’s Guide for Pixel Museum
What a time to return to writing here on a regular basis. I guess soon I might have some things to say on heavier subjects, but for now,…
Games for broke people: ENA: Dream BBQ
Hell, what do I say about this one? I have about ten or twelve games I’ve bought in various Steam sales that I’m in various places with, but…
More YouTube videos/channels to watch (part whatever)
As human civilization continues to burn to the ground and the next Dark Age looms over us, you might still have some downtime to watch videos on YouTube.…
Happy new year
Hey, it’s been two months. Sorry. I have a lot of posts I’d like to write, but I’ve enjoyed a combination of a lot of work, side skills…
The empty promise of generative AI (and a major lawsuit update months late)
Yeah, it’s this subject again. But there’s been a turn in public sentiment recently, paired in part with a political shift in the US that I hope will…
A run through the Yes studio discography: Part 3 (Time and a Word, 1970)
Hey, I lied about the next post being a game review. But the one after this will certainly be, because I just finished one of those weirdo indie…
A run through the Yes studio discography: Part 2 (Yes, 1969)
I have to admit that I regretted starting this project right after making the intro post. I think I outlined the reason for my hesitation years ago in…
A review of Anomalous Coffee Machine
Fucking hell, I really didn’t know what I was getting into with this game. It came out of nowhere when I was crawling through Steam and I thought…
A run through the Yes studio discography: Part 1 (Intro)
Or, proof that I’ve finally, actually, truly lost my mind. My look at King Crimson’s discography, which I haven’t even finished yet, has taken over two years, mainly…
Another Next Fest, part 1
For once I bothered to actually play a few demos during the newest Next Fest. It’s nice to return to this post format sometimes, though the demo lineup…
A review of Aotenjo: Infinite Hands
I’ll take one day off from my state of constant doom for more games like Balatro. I picked that fucking game up again and increased my high score…
Thinking about The Sopranos
I guess I need to keep pretending everything isn’t unraveling around us. Might be why I’ve been getting nostalgic lately, returning to movies like Robin Hood and music like…
A full run through the King Crimson discography: Part 19 (The Power to Believe, 2003)
As the new year unfolds, I feel more and more like it’s a good idea to tie up loose ends. If you were waiting for this post for…
The only Disney movie I’ll ever write about (or, how my alternate-universe self became a furry)
I know this place has ground to a halt practically. My morale right now is in the basement, so instead of taking a month between posts, I should…
I went to a VTuber concert
Shit, maybe I just need to make a separate VTuber category at this point. Sorry if you don’t care for it, but honestly, if I weren’t writing this…
A look at HoloCure 0.7
Even with the world on fire, there was at least one thing I was looking forward to this month: the release of the 0.7 update to the free…
Untitled
I don’t feel like coming up with a title for this post. First time in 11 years I haven’t. But then, is Untitled a title in this case?…
OVA review: Gunsmith Cats
Well shit. If you’re reading this after the fact, look at the date. I won’t write anything about that now. I’m sure it will be appropriate to get…
More distractions
Hey, it’s another aimless post. Maybe it’s just another update to pass another fucking month. Things aren’t getting any better with my job, and every day at home…
The irregular update
Politics alert on this post, including talk about the most recent and most controversial events. If that’s not what you’re here for, check out the next post. I…
A review of Cobalt Core
When I first started with Balatro, I didn’t think it would lead me down the path of roguelikes to a game about furry space warriors caught in a time…
The happiest place on Earth (binds you with a contract of adhesion)
Oh no, this wasn’t the post I was expecting to write next. But then the Walt Disney Company decided to openly expose their callousness for the world to…
Historical drama review: Aguirre, the Wrath of God (1972)
I’m starting to work on the review of Yuru Camp S3. I should have something to say about it, even if I already wrote about the first two seasons,…
Demo mode: Hookah Haze
Sorry for the stream-of-consciousness posts lately. This site used to feature reviews of games and music and anime if you can believe that. Now it’s just a place…
40 Hz
That’s the title of one of the stories I just finished. Couldn’t think of a better one. It involves sleep, anyway. Everything I’ve written in the last year…
Demo mode: Another Next Fest
In my last post, I mentioned I’d only played one demo for Steam’s latest Next Fest. In the very short time since then, I played two more that…
Currently watching: Dead Dead Demons Dededede Destruction
It’s been a while since I’ve written about anime, or about anything at all for that matter. I’d stopped watching anything for a few months, but finally I…
Audiobook review: Julian by Gore Vidal
What a cover. That’s the copy I bought in paperback in some used bookstore somewhere. It looks very 60s, but it also pretty accurately depicts the types of…
Sky diary #9: Solitude
After a long break, I’m back in No Man’s Sky. Not that I didn’t do some “work”, or more accurately fucking around, in the game in the meantime. In…
Currently watching: Yuru Camp S3 (+ a few unrelated updates)
Didn’t see this coming, did you. The fact is the first and second episodes of the newly airing Yuru Camp third season are the only anime I’ve watched in…
The right of preservation
There’s so much going on in the world now that Nintendo shutting down a pair of emulators doesn’t feel like such a big deal. It certainly was a…
A review of Balatro
Another unnecessary post, considering how many people started playing this thing when it came out. This game has gotten big press and 250K+ sales since last week when…
OVA review: Yuru Camp Specials: Survival Camp, Tall-Tale Camp
Isn’t that a mouthful of a title, and especially for another set of Yuru Camp spinoff episodes that total about 18 minutes this time. But they’re also both worth…
Historical drama film review: The Hollow Crown: Richard III
Look up a list of the top five most controversial kings of England and you’ll probably find something among all the crap and detritus of the internet with…
First impressions of Persona 3 Reload
Well here I am. My pointless life continues on and a game returns from 17 years in my past to visit me again in a new form. I…
Behind the curtain
Now here’s a hard post to write. The hardest I’ve had to write on this site, probably, even if there’s harder stuff on my other one I never…
More YouTube stuff to fill your hours
All free to watch, as long as you’re okay with ads (or have Adblock. Reminder that I encourage everyone to use Adblock, because fuck advertising being shoved into…
Currently watching: Pon no Michi
I don’t know much about rap, but I just found Run The Jewels’ Oh My Darling (Don’t Cry) last week and now I’ve had their first couple albums…
Sky diary #8: Poison
Playing No Man’s Sky has fit into my negative mindset lately. Every time I look out from the hole I’m in right now, something happens that drives me…
Historical drama film review: The Hollow Crown: Henry V & VI
Last post I wrote about a fictional British monarch, so I’d better return to the real ones this post. Sort of real, at least — Shakespeare’s history plays…
OVA review: Azur Lane: Queen’s Orders
I’m on an OVA kick right now so here’s one that most readers definitely will not be interested in: an anime adaptation of a spinoff of a manga…
OVA review: Heya Camp△: Sauna to Gohan to Sanrin Bike
There, I finally added the triangle. Copypasted it from MAL, anyway. And here’s something I probably shouldn’t get away with dedicating one entire post to: a ten-minute Yamaha…
ROOM CAMP, ROOM CAMP: Saunas and Grub and Three-Wheeler Bikes
New year notes
I’m still at the bottom of a dank dark hole right now. Mentally speaking, anyway. I have my physical health, as far as I know, and I should…
Sky diary #6: Station to station
Well wouldn’t you know it, but I lied to you again: the next post is more of this No Man’s Sky stuff. I’ll see how long I can…
Sky diary #5: Honeypot
Happy Christmas to everyone here. I’m not in much of a celebratory mood these days, but I hope you can find some comfort this season. There’s no comfort…
