Nazogaku is a weird and wonderful underground convention for experimental puzzle games, and I was so glad to be allowed an insight into this side of the nazo community! There are many other puzzle events both standalone and as part of a larger tabletop convention that are absolutely worth exploring!

Alanna Yeo spoke to Rascal about Nazogaku, a celebration of Japan's puzzle-like games that take advantage of real-life spaces. This year's "Final Last Nazogaku" pitted a censorious organizing committee against a grassroots resistance of mystery lovers.

Yeah! If you're a K-pop fan, you'll understand a lot of the loving references to kpop fan culture and Korean traditional culture. Plenty of parts worth replaying, especially the songs! Enjoyyyy! Make a movie night of it!

I am back for a hot minute to yell about KPop Demon Hunters on Netflix! Incredible animation, catchy songs, and immensely likeable characters. The ending was rushed a little but that just gives more opportunities for a sequel to close the open story threads. I am definitely stanning the Saja Boys!!

My nerdy (?) recommendation at the library today. The last chapter of this little book had a big impact on my writing style for sure!

met someone new at the community library and kinda hit it off; he recommended a book to me later and I tried to borrow it from Libby but it was a waiting list 11 weeks long. 💀 So I told him, and not 2 weeks later, he sneaks the very same book on my shelf and texts me that he left me a surprise.

managed 1, failed at 2 & 3 as the things in question suddenly went into flux, so still waiting confirmation before i can do anything about them. managed to complete some other niggling tasks nonetheless so I think my day was somewhat productive still. thanks for the accountability check!

Yes! There is a small fee for patrons, but it all goes to the running of the library (pays rental & utilities mostly.) librarians are volunteers! It's also in a really cute neighbourhood with wild chickens running around and many local traditional stores. I'll film a bit more next time I'm there!

Alanna Yeo @thornandkey.com · 10/02/2025

It's really special! I fell in love with this space and enjoy just hanging out here because it's really relaxing. Each shelf is full of personality too, and many shelfies offer free zines or poetry to patrons. And at 180 shelves, there's so much to see and get to know!

Alanna Yeo @thornandkey.com · 10/02/2025

I started my curation at the library last weekend! I'm still waiting for a few more games to arrive to me before I update the shelf at one go with more new books, but here's what I have for now! If you're interested, I can share a little more of the other shelves next time!

I like this idea of allowing them to rest! They had a good run, and finished their story. I'm sure you also look back fondly on the characters sometimes; I don't think it's broken at all.

One of the shelves of the community library I volunteer at has a book of wordsearch puzzles for patrons to solve. I wanted to do one because I love word search puzzles; and immediately sat down to work on this Cthulhu one once I found it!

Completed wordsearch puzzle, where the words to search are from the Cthulhu mythos.
