I found this adorable girl squaring up with one of my stray cats yesterday. If you know me you know I’m the number one praying mantis fan, so she had to get a post. She may be the biggest mantis I’ve ever seen. Also the first time I’ve seen one of these guys in defense mode. #bugsky #insects #bugs

New Relitigated! Mega Man 2 is an iconic title, one of the landmarks of the NES and a personal favorite of mine. But is it truly a perfect game?

New review! Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name is a short but memorable spinoff to the Yakuza series, offering engaging gameplay and a story that delves further into the life of Kazuma Kiryu.

New review! I'm adding a new kind of review series to my site called Games Relitigated, where I revisit games I played long ago to see how they hold up. The first of these is Super Paper Mario, a unique, somewhat underrated entry in the franchise that I played for the first time in over a decade.

New review! Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance is everything a sequel should be, living up to its predecessor's expectations while also completely subverting them.

Happy Birthday Among Us! As a gift, here is some very very old absolutely not canon outdated art I did from the original pitch for the tv show. A LOT changed since that time, it was on the fringe of the time I started at Innersloth, and it's generally just really cool to see how much changed.

New review! I reviewed the Volvo game. Volvo: Drive For Life is a weird original Xbox exclusive that was initially only released at Volvo car dealerships, and it's certainly a unique take on a driving game.

NEW WEBSITE UPDATE: I've realized that I can just write about anything whenever, as opposed to only writing reviews of games after I finish them. A while back, I made a list on Backloggd of my favorite games to pick up and play. I've narrowed that down to my ten favorites and written about them.

Unrelated to my last post, but I started playing Webbed by @sbug.games and it’s seriously adorable. I don’t play platformers that much but I get to be a spider who can shoot lasers and dance among other things. What more could I ask for? We as a society need more bug games (cough mantis game cough)

It’s been jumping spider city in my plants so now I can post about bugs again. I’m not a huge fan of spiders but these guys are very chill and I can confidently scoop them up. I’m a fan of their big eyes and general furriness. Apparently they can recognize different faces. Cool little guys! #spiders

Pokemon again! No I didn’t finish the last two that I started but hey this is the only main series game I’ve never played. Snivy because I like snakes (+ the other starters are mid). Her name is Fleur because the tail reminds me of the fleur de lis and also fleur/flower feels like a grass type name.
