New YouTube video! Let's discuss these "dancing" Pokémon and what makes them so special in how we understand the history of Pokémon and our world!

New YouTube video featuring @sciantsmedia.com!!

My new series, PokéPanels, is about bringing in real-world experts & academics to discuss how their respective fields line up with what exists in the Pokémon universe. Today we're taking it all the way back to prehistory with Dr. Balint from SciAnts!

What Stardew Valley "world expanding" mods are out there that AREN'T Expanded or Ridgeside (or require them)?

(Specifically thinking about mods that add new characters and locations)

Feeling super encouraged to be starting off the new year having successfully monetized a *second* YouTube channel! I truly appreciate all the support I've had from folks over the last few years!

Honestly feels like it's been forever since I've announced a new Stardew Valley challenge, but my streams return tomorrow with a brand new one!

Alcohol-free perfection (in two years or less), live on Twitch! >> twitch.tv/mallory

I started out 2026 by immediately receiving rejections from job applications, so I’m making my own job by starting a mail club. If you want to help a literal starving artist, each month you’ll get postcards and a sticker sheet featuring my photography and illustrations.

Still crying watching my Mega Delphox react over 3 months later

maybe I was truly delusional back then, but the Stardew Valley fandom in a post 1.6 update world is viscous, condescending and awful compared to what it was before the new boom that followed the update

now it's just like every other fandom with hate-filled players and misery

I got my camera, touched some grass, and played Pokémon Snap in real life through the art of toy photography! If you’ve ever been curious about my process of taking photos or you want to learn about how Pokémon Snap compares to actual photography, watch this video! 📸

Ever wonder where Pokémon designs might come from? In this video, I dived deep into generation 1 Pokémon and uncovered possible cultural and mythological influences behind some of the most misunderstood designs.

Pokémon designs aren’t lazy.
Are these Pokémon bad or are you just uncultured?

A really risky video on my part, but I hope you'll consider watching it with an open mind

We need to talk about "lore" Pokémon creators

Thank you to everyone who has supported me over the years! ✨

Still spending my time thinking about the beautiful game "The Berlin Apartment" by the folks over at @bluebackpack.bsky.social

If you'd like to watch a full playthrough yourself, mine is now up on YouTube!

The Berlin Apartment is the most beautiful story-driven game I've played recently with a glimpse into the rich, but in many ways, painful and complicated past of Germany over the last century. I cannot recommend it enough.

Thank you @bluebackpack.bsky.social for this beautiful game and experience.

✨IT'S MOVING DAY✨

Are you ready to explore the apartment, renovate it and uncover its turbulent past?

Out on Steam (Steamdeck verified!), PlayStation and Xbox NOW!

Story-rich and narrative driven games >>>>> anything else

It's launch day for @bluebackpack.bsky.social's The Berlin Apartment and we're checking it out live on stream! Thanks to the devs for sending me a game key to check out!
