…to jumping right in with this one! Loved the exploration, survival, combat, music, truly the whole package. I’ll have to see how E33 sticks the landing, but KCD2 is currently my GOTY. Warhorse deserves all the praise they’ve gotten for this one! What an achievement.

#11: Kingdom Come Deliverance II

The first game was one of my biggest gaming surprises when I played it a couple years ago. This is that formula perfected and so much more. So glad I played the first game and had a prior attachment to the characters, but it’s not essential…

#10: Split Fiction

My first Hazelight game, and it was absolutely terrific. Alex and I had such a blast playing together - and Hazelight cooked the whole game, but the entire final sequence was genuinely mind-blowing. An easy GOTY candidate for me - can’t wait for what’s next!

#9: Let’s School

I don’t have TOO much experience with management sims, but this game was super cute and had me hooked! My school was ugly as hell though 😭 A couple negligible bothers, but absolutely a downtime game I’ll return to so I can try other maps and victory conditions!

A little late, but REALLY liked that State of Play! Preordered FF Tactics, will probably try the Nioh 3 demo, and looking forward to seeing more with several others!

And for anyone wondering, my PhD is in English with a creative writing concentration; my specialization is poetry, but I write fiction and personal essays too (though not recently)!

A couple weeks ago, I passed my comprehensive exams for my PhD!! This means all I have left is my dissertation and I’m done. Should be about a year left. Excited to catch up on a lot of gaming this summer - gonna finish KCD2 first. Then probably Expedition 33. If I don’t let Civ 6 get to me first 😂

i miss the early internet. people were like “you gotta see this dude. this cat sure is long.” and they were right. it was really long. it never shoulda gotten any more complicated than that.

The GameCube controller returns for another generation lol 🙌

GAAAAAAMECUUUUUUUUBE 😭😭😭❤️🙏🙏

June 5th!!!!

Eyes are heavy and I’m yawning constantly, but I’m up and ready (and hyped!) for the Switch 2 Direct!

That looks sooo good! Got me craving a bowl now 😅

Watching Hunter x Hunter for the first time with Alex! Been having a really good time with it from the jump, but feel like it’s REALLY gotten great during the Yorknew City arc! Last couple episodes had me open-mouthed — and I know a lot of people say it only gets better. Can’t wait for more!

A childhood favorite, and one of the very first games I ever played! Excited to jump back into it after 20+ years!

I saw a few people mixed in this Direct but it really was one for lovers of the niche. And honestly, as a send-off for the Switch? That’s kinda perfect. It flourished by being different and giving an audience to those oddities.

I just yelled about the new Rhythm Heaven and now hoping I didn’t wake up my partner haha I actually can’t wait

Yeah this Direct is already peak for me 😭🙏

Up and ready for the Nintendo Direct! No expectations at all - just excited and hoping to be surprised!

I bought it on a whim a while back and it was such an unbelievable surprise. And as incredible as it is, I agree with others here - somehow the second is even better! Insane.

Couldn’t agree more! Love making all those discoveries.

Happy 10th to one of my favorite games! Usually with these games, I need breaks between runs; not so here. Nothing could pull me away until I got the platinum. An all-timer! Would instantly jump back in for a remaster or sequel/successor, no question.

Crazy time in school right now, but I’m making some good summer plans 😎

I don't care what games you play, what genres they belong to, or what platform you play them on. You're a part of this community, and I'm happy you're here💙🫂

#8: Yugioh - The Sacred Cards

I imagine most people have that one game that really isn’t “good” but they still love it. That’s this game for me! Childhood fav. Probably have finished it over 20 times in my life - this is the main reason I got the Early Days collection, and I have no regrets!

5 years ago I was very addicted to a game named animal crossing new horizons. 😬🤣

New Horizons was a big one for me too. I remember several days in a row booting it up immediately after waking up, then noticing it had already got dark out again before long. Really grateful for the timing of its release, looking back!
