After the gargantuan behemoth that was Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey, it was a decided breath of fresh air to be able to finish Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order inside of two weeks. This is despite Fallen Order being a bit of an open-world game, insofar as there is an amount of exploring and backtracking you can… Continue reading Cake, And Eating It

Another Space Cowboy
If you haven’t had the chance to see it yet, The Mandalorian is a fantastic miniseries set in the Star Wars world. It’s about a lone gunslinger/bounty hunter, the titular Mandalorian, and his adventures around the galaxy, which, right there, is a great conceit for a story. The Mandalorian, more so than any Star Wars… Continue reading Another Space Cowboy
Completion
I finally finished Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey a couple weeks ago. Like, finished, finished. Completed. Well, not entirely. I ended up leaving one or two locations incomplete, and I didn’t bother getting all the Ostraka in the DLCs. But all the story-related quests (and really basically all the quests too) are completed. The game is done,… Continue reading Completion

Nine Movies From A Decade
It’s the end of a decade, which is by all accounts a pretty big deal. As we hurtle into the 20s, a lot of folks on the internet have been making lists of stuff they like from the past decade, particularly, movies. In light of that I figured, hey, might as well do the same,… Continue reading Nine Movies From A Decade
Background Diversity
I really liked The Last Jedi, more that I did The Rise of Skywalker, and there are many reasons for that, and really it’s a lot of personal preference. One of my very favorite things in Last Jedi — and, admittedly, this is a very small thing — is the diversity of the Resistance members.… Continue reading Background Diversity
A Celebration
In less than a week, I will have seen The Rise of Skywalker, the culmination of the newest Star Wars trilogy. It’s thrilling because the idea of a new Star Wars movie never stops being exciting to my tired, late-twenties brain. 'cuz, dude, it’s a new Star Wars movie! The newest trailer (which, admittedly, is… Continue reading A Celebration
Catching ’em All
I recently picked up Pokémon: Shield because I have a Switch and several friends of mine have it and I was starting to feel left out. Also because I haven’t played a proper Pokémon game in ages, and here was one that I had the system for so here I am. And it’s adorable and… Continue reading Catching ’em All
DID IT
Hey. Today, being the last day of November, is when NaNoWriMo comes to an end. And I friggin' did it. 50,000 words (and change) written in a month. Somehow. I've no real idea where this story's going and I'm pretty sure about 50% of those words are trash, but I did it. That's 50,000 words done. Finishing… Continue reading DID IT
Ah, Crap, It’s 7pm.
Hey! If you're wondering, yes, I'm still doing NaNoWriMo while trying to remain a functional adult! (I've also, by my count, consumed, twenty beers, nine cups of coffee, seven bottles of kombucha, and seven whiskey sours [amongst other beverages] while writing this month [yes, I am keeping count, and yes, I usually write in the… Continue reading Ah, Crap, It’s 7pm.
