This scary chapter of my life has officially come to a close. Thanks to everyone who got the word out on this or supported in any way they could, it truly meant the world. Everything made a difference, and now in just under a week I’m getting back into my routine. Thank you ❤️
Posting my year end list a little early since nothing I sample in the next two weeks could reasonably tip the scales on my overall thoughts.

Wrote a review of Midnight Wanderers, game's good but I mostly focused on highlighting what it does WORSE than GnG to really home in on what makes this style of games work

Finally have some light scribbles about a movie I think I sort of half understand, ultimately really glad it held up for me. I have absolutely no issue calling this one of Ghibli’s best now

Of all the games I expected to learn I was told lies about, I can’t say Ghosts n Goblins was one of them

Not even 4 hours since posting this and the support has been well and truly overwhelming. Seriously, to everyone who’s even given this any time of day or donated even a penny, thank you.
Yesterday my friends and I got in a terrible life-threatening car accident. While we walked away with no bodily injuries, my car is totaled. As a Behavioral Technician that travels between counties for work, reliable transportation is needed. Any donations or shares are appreciated ❤️

what romancing saga and battle garegga demonstrate is that if you take a normal videogame and attach it to a black box that you must appease with mysterious rituals or else it kills you, you are left with a masterpiece

Not against learning skills as I go along but Ninja Gaiden 4 cordons off Absorbing orbs to ult, the second layer of your ult, and OLUT (On Landing Ultimate Technique) and I just fundamentally disagree with that.

One last bump on this!
Bumping my review now that my website is working again! (thanks kevin lol) It's a more fun read over there with nice line breaks and some screenshots to articulate some of my points. This really is a tremendous game that deserves the attention 🙏

So, I've spent the entire weekend grinding out Disaster Arms. This game is another @pd-cgt.bsky.social banger-- if you were expecting anything else. I've uploaded an Impact Mode 1CC online so if you need any kind of reason to sell this game to anyone via gameplay...
