They finally managed to make a 28 [whatever] Years later movie I really didn't like. It's just not interesting. And turns out it's only part 2 in a trilogy, and the part 3 they set up looks kind of rote and tedious. A pity.
On the bright side, Bugonia is available on streaming. liked that one a lot
Saw the new 28 Years Later movie. Turns out that (get ready for a shock) humans are the real monsters.
Lame. When I go see a monster movie, at some point, I want the monsters to be the real monsters.
We started Queen’s Wish in 2019. These truly unique indie RPGs were a mix of tricky tactical combat, empire management, tough politics, and coping with your family.

New Blog Post! Another grab bag of mixed topics, including Borderlands 4 ( 🫤 ), fun indie games ( 🤩 ), & the 2025 Game Awards ( 😶 ).

GlitchSPANKR is a weird walking sim type game with a lot of love in it. Strange. Funny. Often gross. Smiling Friends vibes, which is a compliment.
I played about 80% of it, until the parts where it tries to be a Real Video Game got annoying. It really tickled me until then and is worth the money.
Our iPad games have a one time fee. No ads. No hitting you up for more $$$.
And if you want the Windows or Mac version, it's still doing great here ...
