me: "omg cool, i'll probably just get some cute little item"

🎮 GAMING ACCOUNTABILITY CLUB 🎮

This year, I've got one enemy: my backlog. I've picked one waylaid title to progress through each month.

If I'm gonna conquer a foe that big? I'm gonna need backup. There's where YOU come in. Let's lay waste to our logs together.

Who wants in? 🤝

This year? My sole resolution is to resurrect the boy who believed in a world made better by your true self’s presence within it.

To the boy I was: I’m coming back for you ✨

Whether you reached every resolution or simply survived, take pride in what the path taught you this year. 2024 spared few of us – it takes reckless doses of resilience and courage alike to stay standing.

Be proud of your past self: and may 2025 be kinder to the future you 🫶

Couldn’t be happier with this year’s Christmas haul:

❤️ Persona 3: Reload
💚 Epic Mickey: Rebrushed
❤️ Eiyuden Chronicles
💚 Emio: The Smiling Man
❤️ Romancing Saga 2
💚 Dragon Age: Veilguard Art
❤️ Zelda’s TOTK Amiibo

What did you score this season? 🤔

For those struggling through this season in silence: I pray that your hearts be blanketed in peace, your days touched by quiet empathy, and your hearts filled to overflowing with inexplicable hope that carries you to kinder days ❤️🫶🏻💚

Thought I'd share some interior art from the two Little Golden Books I illustrated. I am so chuffed to see the books being promoted so much especially since this is a musical that is so near and dear to my heart 💚🩷

Four indie games I'm thankful for this season 🙏✨

In a world of life-changing AAA projects, gratitude for the industry's "little guys" is all the more important. Which indies are YOU grateful for this Thanksgiving?
