Hi cuties! Since I’m new here…

My name is Emily and I co-host the indie game podcast No Small Games!!

You can also find me writing game reviews for the NSG site, streaming indies on Twitch, and committing acts of general nonsense elsewhere online!

Would love to make friends and talk games 💜

This game means so much to me, and I think will to many, many people 💜

Thanks to @popagenda.co for the chance to review it 🙏

"It gives context to the fictional Jenny’s struggles and shows that the antidote to a highly regimented life slowly falling into shambles doesn’t involve more organization or tidiness."

The graphic shows a laptop with a screenshot of the review on the No Small Games website, with key art from the game, showing an illustrated teenage girl with a bob haircut, in various poses including eating an egg, doing exercises and posing in the mirror.

A national treasure, is what! I learned at age 9 that I like both science AND procedural legal dramas 😂

This week of streams has very cool things going on. A few notes:
- We'll only do 30 min of Sopa then start Greak: Memories of Azur
- I'm ending stream at noon on Tuesday to go see One Battle After Another, alone, with a giant coke zero
- Friday morning will rule. I am so stoked for this surprise!

Stream schedule for the week. On the left are the dates and times and the right has corresponding images for what will happen each stream.

It’s SO good! I played it around this time last year, too. I think it might become an anual tradition for me 😍

And thank you!! I’m a sucker for a cute mug haha

Emily Merritt | No Small Games @aspecificegg.bsky.social · 4d

It took 48 hours, 5 airports, 3 planes (do the math on that one), 2 taxis, 1 charter bus and all of my sanity… but I’m finally home! 🫠
