currently: trying to beat the radiance & nightmare king grimm

first ever game i bought & played on pc. i ended up really enjoying the game, though it’s hard af for me at the time. it prompted me to start drawing fanart, while also awakening my fondness of nonhuman characters.

i love the style, the combat, the lore. broken vessel was the first boss fight i genuinely enjoyed, who would've thought. i remember loving exploration and filling up the map. weirdly enough the region i was most familiar with was deepnest, which a lot of people hate.

there are some unresolved threads that i'm still curious about (there was an entire void region planned in development that didn't make it to the full game i'm still sad about that), but overall i think the worldbuilding was excellent.

rain world

currently: the watcher dlc

game i got into because aforementioned friend started playing it. the aesthetic didn't vibe with me at first, but it grew on me eventually.

the worldbuilding is fasinating and so is the ecosystem...it's made so that everything actually seems alive and that's amazing. the gaming part is genuinely fun. a bit hard at times (i hate you chimney canopy) but overall very fun and replayable. i'll write my thoughts in a log maybe.

cult of the lamb

currently: second round of bosses

i forgot why i bought this game. i did buy it at half price though, and it's been worth it all the way. i'm still not entirely familiar with the lore; i haven't done a deep dive on it like i have done for the other two games, and my progression has slowed down as i got busier irl. i did have that passion rush for a while though, and also...i'm still playing it! games are a huge investment of energy for me so it's not easy to keep me playing for this long lol.

the style is so cute and up my alley... the combat is so mmm...so satisfying...also the cult part is fun!! unexpected things keep happening and it's hilarious every time.

also leshy ilysm i FINALLY got the immortal skull necklace and i immediately gave it to him, my moss ball...

guardians of the galaxy

shrine

currently: waiting for the marvel game to go on discount

it started from when i was checking steam sales and saw that the marvel’s guardians of the galaxy game happened to be at a price i can reasonably afford. i’m not a big gamer so i wasn’t sure if i’d be able to finish it, which led to me looking up a playthrough (12 hours long) and finishing said playthrough in about 3-4 days, which then led to me getting into the gotg comics and rewatching the movie series.

i think this got me fully into science fiction? before this i had basic appreciation of the aesthetic i.e. the gadgets and stuff were cool, but gotg made me genuinely start to love deep space(?) sci-fi. spaceships slap. so much. i still think the alien designs are kinda mid but that doesn't stop me from loving space. i mean, inhabited star systems, space jail, the entire idea of Knowhere...? cool asf.

also the entire thing about found family and interpersonal connection...i have so much to say on this and so much more research to do so i'll save it for another page. but i love it, i love the team dynamics, i love a bunch of assholes getting together and working together and learning to care about one another. so, so good.

transformers

main page

currently: in the middle of it all

my current and longest-running (as of now) obsession.

all of this started when i asked my dad offhandedly about transformers and he invited me to watch the first bayverse movie and i agreed. this somehow spun into me watching one of the animated shows and then getting into the comics as well and getting into the other animated shows and watching playthroughts of the games and… here i am now.

this franchise spans like… i don’t even know how many but there’s a wide range of movies, shows, books, comics, games etc, basically whatever you can
think of it’s got it. for this reason, i’m giving it its
own page! i'll leave what that says about me up
to interpretation. i am so normal.
