I totally got the hots for Bowser. Read more

Nah, I’ve always hated Mario. There was never anything redeeming about him, it’s always been about Bowser, he’s the real hero.

Since I value losing myself in a game and trying to stay immersed in the world, I feel like all these currencies and “daily challenges” and loot boxes and legal gambling for digital goods would just keep pulling me out of feeling like a badass wraith overlord.

BUT MY PRINCIPLES THAT ALLOW ME TO IGNORE HOW GAMES HAVEN’T INCREASED IN PRICE FOR THE BETTER PART OF 2 DECADES BUT DON’T ALLOW ME TO ACCEPT MICRO-TRANSACTIONS!

I quite liked the Grimoire system from Destiny. I found some collectables in game and it unlocked little bits of back story to everything. It would have been good if there was a way to access it in game. I liked the early on part of the game, where I explored and found things and then going to work the next day and Read more

I’ve had this thought on PS4 icons for ages. An adjusted version of the boxart (or keyart if the game is digital-only) is almost always going to make a logo that I recognize instantly in the app reel. A piece of the environment or the main character only tends to stick out negatively from the rest for me. The best one Read more

Pom needs a sequel

This annoys me so much in movies as well. For a long time it messed up my expectations of women as love interests. I kept watching movies thinking, clearly perfect-ish women exist, I see examples of them all the time. I started taking note of the writers of some of my favourite romcoms, a little while after watching Read more

I had this thought during my most recent re-read of A Song of Ice and Fire. George, women are not constantly aware of their own breasts. Read more

It’s not super obvious in gaming (for me anyways) but oh man does it pop out in novels... Read more
