3 Unique Rhythm Games
okay if you were around recently, you probably saw that I've been raving about the Cassette Beasts OST. and while I like music in general, a good rhythm game always hits the spot
so here are 3 rhythm games with their own takes on the genre!
Soundfall
I played Soundfall by Drastic Games a while ago, in July actually, and I had some pretty good times with it. it's a solid game, with good mechanics, soundtrack, story, and graphics.
it also helps when you can crack jokes about Discord and Discordia.
the uniqueness of the game comes from its gacha mechanic for its equipment and the incentive to attack on-beat (and sometimes off-beat too). because of the on-beat attacks, Soundfall feels really satisfying to play.
music-wise, it's pretty cool. particularly liked the cityscape and ice world music!
though I never adventured into playing character other than the main girl, I liked that the narrative really dives into each of the characters and also aligns them with a genre of music as well as a biome. it was a steady through line that helped make a very cohesive experience
for me, Soundfall creates a pretty good bar for a good action rhythm game
No Straight Roads: Encore Edition
No Straight Roads (NSR) might be the most disappointing of the three, with the highest highs and lowest lows, and the most recently played of the three.
that's to say, I have mixed feelings about this game. the design and the art and the music are all so, so good. but the voice acting and the gameplay just sub-par.
unlike Soundfall, only the enemies attack to the beat of the music. and, in my experience, it wasn't even easy to tell when they were going to attack either. the biggest downfall of this is that I'd always try to act in beat with the song and the game more often punishes you for doing so and calls into question if it could be qualified as a rhythm game in that sense (would it be more accurate to call a music-centric game?)
while the rhythm mechanics were weird, I liked what they were trying to do with each boss's gimmick, such as 1010's one vs many or Eve's weird illusion world, and I feel like that saved the experience a bit
the music, by the way, was outstanding, even when I was too focused on the gameplay to fully appreciate it. especially liked Sayu's and 1010's tracks
as a game, NSR has its flaws, but the music and world/character design provide a mostly enjoyable experience
RHYTHM SPROUT
so I've played Turnip Boy and now I've played Rhythm Sprout
of the three, the food-themed Rhythm Sprout probably has the most conventional mechanics: pink/yellow/blue bars you hit in beat with the music.
with the most conventional mechanics comes the most standard experience: it was pretty good.
my only gripe with it was the trap notes and their proximity to actual notes (cause I honestly couldn't tell if I was hitting the note, the trap, or in between, and therefore couldn't fix my play)
this cutesy game's humour had a few good moments and the writing was good enough to keep me through the story, despite the concepts being pretty standard.
I think the game provides a pretty satisfying experience, though the music mostly wasn't my jam.
from the precise shooting of Soundfall to jamming with each of No Straight Road's artists to chopping sweets in Rhythm Sprout, all three games have great things going for them, so I think they're all worth a play!
As always,
Enjoy gaming!

2023 In Review (Indie Games)
Last year's! | 2021
I apologize in advance for how long this might be. As a reminder, I don't bash games here so even if I hated something with every fiber of my being...I ain't sharing. As a second reminder, my more in depth reviews and live blogging has moved to Gem's Game Gems so I don't clutter the HBG's main blog. Okay. ON WITH THE REVIEW!!
DEMOS
Diffraction (Demo)- A rainy day otome indeed. I love the quiet gentleness of this game, the two romance options, and the fact that our MC is a photographer and struggling with her art and stack of life "failures" (because...SAME!!)
Alaris - I was asleep and now I am awake: I came late for the advertised fae and dragon lore, stayed seated and waiting for Fenir zjgjdf. Oh, and I guess the mystery surrounding our MC's abilities LOL.
The Summit Library - When I say I was maaaaaad when I realized I blew through chapter 1 and would have to go back to waiting for more content??? LOL, I was very miffed. Anyhoo, check out this title for the gorgeous art, another intriguing mystery (like what is *up* with the magic in the poor library?? who or what is to blame?? đ) and of course the lovely characters we've been introduced to thus far.
Of Sense and Soul - I'm a regency romance girl. Like after you strip away the other stuff, I am but a poor woman with simple needs: a good ass love story đ¤§đ It's about the yearning and the slow burn and the will they/won't they/PLEASEEE they...I've never been so charmed by a demo, and the full game is going to be amazing I just know it!
Made Marion - This project is a game I've been keeping tabs on for a hot minute but hadn't taken the time to sit and properly enjoy the demo. I'M SO GLAD I DID!!! It's in early access now, so I'm hoping eventually I'll be able to carve out some time to play, but guysss Velvet Cupcake is doing the Thing?!? No idea which love interest I'll go for first, but I had a fun time meeting the Nottingham peeps in the demo.
Herotome (Super Demo) - Oh gosh. Oh gosh oh gosh oh my GOSHHH. Where do I even began?? (Really the question is where the hell do I end because this is one of those projects I talk about a lot/think about a lot and surprisingly haven't run out of things to say zkjfksjd). Another game I've been following for a while, it 100% lives up to the superhero genre in its aesthetic, the characters you interact with, the music and sound design, and of course the slowly unfurling story. Jade and Mia had come out as my top faves, Warden is still there, like hovering in the backgroud, shhhh but I have a special place in my heart for Griffin too (that conversation we have with her?? I have so many screenshots just so I can go back and reread and sear the words in my brain. Like a weirdo. Yup.)
Celestial Crowns - Stats building, celestial royalty, dating sim where you fuck around and find out your choices directly affect your MC's personality?? I'm sat. I supported the Kickstarter and now I try to practice patience for the full game's release siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiighh.
OTOME/JOSEI JAM
Please note this is a SUPER abridged list for my sanity and I fell a little more in love with these 2 jams with each entry I played...
Intertwine - As embarrassing as it sounds, I've never given much thought to the "red string" thing, and I consume more than enough romance media LOL!! But Van is suuuuuch a beautiful man, the UI for this game is so interactive and lovely, the music is ALSO lovely, just lovely-love all the way around teehee. (Also this game encourages replayabillity so like, do with that info what you will.)
Spring Boy [Demo] - I believe this game is going through a complete rehaul, so my thoughts and feelings refer to the original jam entry I played. The art is bright and cute and it's a super super short demo, but I was intrigued by the other student we meet on our mission to plead with our professor about our bombed exam lol!
Assignment Due: Project Blue - IRl group projects??? Suck absolute ass. Group projects with a guy name Asher?? Suddenly it's my new favorite thing in the world đ
Cryptid Campaign Manager [DEMO] - Remember the last time I looked over a cryptid dating sim??? Remember how I was SUCH a fool?? Good thing I didn't make that mistake again!! The prologue is such a tease but you get an idea of what the full game is gonna be like, and I'm excited to see where my career involving love (and politics) goes!
Heart Cage [Demo] - Yoooooo I stay my ass far far far away from yanderes (could never get into the trope or the character type). WELP. Guess I just needed to keep searching because I really downloaded this off a whim--well, the whim being one of my fellow dev peers playing and rating-- and proceeded to get sucked in đ¤§I thought being a detective would be the highlight, but I guuuueeesssss I was more into the romance options than I thought. Oops.
Evernight - I tried to explain what this game meant to me on the side blog, but words failed me. I still don't know what to say other than I loved it?? Which is like ummm I say I love everything, and yeah I'm easy to please BUT Y'ALLLLLL if you play no other game, play this one. Please. Date a werewolf. Or a vampire. Or a fae. Plz. Also figuring out the mystery of your MC's abilities and past is just delightful, ugh.
Bright Oak (demo) - Anotha one I wrote about on the side blog!!! Play this one!!! The writing is lush and atmospheric and the characters are all delightful and it's another game with a mystery to untangle!
The Faithfulness of the Universe- This one gets the award for most unique all around entry that I played. Theeeeee prettiest pixel art to bless my eyeballs, and this tasty mystery concerning Fate and witch Faustina's future (or lack thereof đ) and what it all means. As a player I very much want to know what it all means!
A Cup For All Seasons - Another game that needs its flowers y'all. It's short but super healing and super cozy and the voice acting and music really tie the gaming experience together???
The Working Woman's Guide to Burning Bridges - DEMO - It's the way I played the demo twice and I've been thinking about it ever since đđđđ obviously life happens and things come up, plus this was a demo. But. BUT!!! I am on my hands and knees prayinnggg the team gets together again to finish the game. I love playing as a stressed, lowkey bitter hot mess who doesn't have her life together đsomehow the fictional version is soooo much more entertaining!!!
Keyframes (Spring Demo) - After the game College Craze, this is legit THE college, slice of life visual novel of my dreams. I cannot wait for the updated demo next year, and the Kickstarter whenever that rolls around. And now that the developer is on Tumblr, I've definitely been stalking the account and reading each new post like it's my day/night/weekend job đ¤§
Hello Counsel đ - Okay I take it back, Evernight is like a 20/10 but Hello Counsel is like an 100/10 đď¸đđď¸ This game is necessary for my mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health, alright? The banter â
the character designs â
the music â
the sizzling chemistry between Poise and Salem â
I wish this game had more buzz because IT'S SO GOOD!!! (also the dev, Miseri, is who I wanna be when I grow up. I've made it through almost their whole backlog of games and there are no misses and EVERY game is different from the rest and it makes it hard for a toodler dev--ME--to cope LOL)
Candied Hearts - Isekaied into a candy themed game?? Sign me TF UP!!! (Peppermint I love you dearly, you must understand.)
Fully Released & Played (at least 1 playthrough)
The Knight's Dilemma - I don't even know how I originally stumbled upon this??? I just know it had been in my backlog for a hot minute and I was intrigued enough to save it way back when. Y'ALL WHY DIDN'T I PLAY SOONER SKJFHFJFH! There's a couple different endings, I loved the voice direction, AND it's such a simple concept of a game that was just executed beautifully.
Trouble Comes Twice - If I had to make a top 5 list of romance VNs, guess who makes the list?? Guess. Guess guess guess. Have you guessed yet??? LOL! I have been in love with TCT since it's development days and with each passing month, waiting in anticipation, playing the Pateron beta builds, screaming on the main blog about every single thought I had about Jace and Hazel (shoutout to Jace for helping me figure out *me*) Lol if you're curious about said thoughts, those posts are on this blog and not the side blog.
Aelfric the Wondrous - 10/10 would love to forget my first play through JUST to have that experience fresh again đđđCute and funny and a wonderful parody type game all around.
A Summer's End - Hong Kong 1986 - Goodness, there's no excuse for why this took me years to finish but anyhoo, I finished, I loved it, I recommend it! It's romantic and achingly authentic and the art is soooo gorgeous I literally can't stand it đ
The Things You Do For Love - Unhinged yandere manages to entertain and garner sympathy and laughter from Gemini. And that poly ending is chef's kiss too????
Band Camp Boyfriend - There are a handful of games I found and loved before I began my game development journey, and this is one of them. BCB is so dear to me, because of the story and characters but also because of the Dynamic Duo creators and their team behind the scenes. I was never a band kid I was a chorus kid but just as the band geeks loved this game to pieces, us normal folks do too!! Even the boys who I didn't like I STILL managed to find joy in playing their routes (still have a few more to finish at the time of this posting lol, GOTTA GET THE FINAL ROUTE YO). Anyway, this game more than delivered for me and I hope more people keep discovering it!!
Belle Automata: Chronicle I [RELEASED] - While only Chronicle 1 is out at the time of this posting, I already know that the 2nd and 3rd parts are going to be just as amazing???? I wrote about this one on the side blog, so here's my copypaste that still rings true: Â
I love TNP (The Nightmare Prince) but Victorâs route hit the sweet spot for me. Maybe itâs the slow(er) burn nature of this route, maybe itâs the reserved nature of Victor and watching him slowly start to care (AND NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THOSE FEELINGS TEEHEE) for me.
A Date with Death - I wrote about this on the side blog--again--. The demo. And then right after finishing a route. And then again where I was fully awake and still managed to sound deranged. No copypaste for that, I shall be nice. But yeah!! Another game where I was screaming at the sky about how much I love it and how I'll never know peace as long as I live.
Our Life: Baxter DLC - I need to offer an official apology to both Cove and Derek because falling head over heels, down the stairs, crashing into the parking lot, falling again but down a manhole for Baxter's infuriating ass was NOT on my 2023 bingo board??? HELLO???? I bought his DLC just to complete my OL collection. Was not expecting to love it this much. Was not expecting to be called to write fanfic and abandon all responsibilities to do this. WHILE DOWN WITH COVID TOO. Allow me to play the song of my people. *Send in the Clowns plays*
Our Cinderella - (this is so funny I'm taking about a side game before the main game LOLOLOLOL) Guys. Guysss. You guyyyysss đĽšif you're looking for a cozy, hilarious, equally oddly and wonderfully sweet short game, this is the one!! You may have your personal favorite Iggy ship (like me) but all the pairings are so amazing and just make sense lol!
Wylde Flowers - This is the only non visual novel game on here but it gets the spotlight because I did NOT spend 90+ hours on this game to gatekeep this beauty. No. It the coziest, the funniest, the funnest, the most addictive Switch game (after Teacup) I've ever played.
Fully Released (& still on 1st playthrough)
Garden of Seif: Chronicles of an Assassin - Life kicked my butt and then sat on me SO while I finally got my grubby hands on the full copy, I still have only played the entirety of the demo. But. We will return to this in 2024 and hopefully I'll have a full review for the next wrap up!
Our Wonderland - I looked back at the side blog and I can't believe it was only THIS year that I started OW??? Because I'd known of the game and the dev for longer than that??? So basically what I'm saying is that I was chicken shit for longer than I've been in love with this world that Developer Carrot has created kjzhhshggj. But OMG to get me, who is scared oh so easily to get hella invested in this clearly labeled horror game??????????????? And even with shit gets super absurd and hella disturbing, I cannot stop playing. At the time of this post, I'm only in Act 4, hence the category above, but it's only because I play each act in a sitting and lose track of space and time and myself. That's a compliment btw.
...
Okie!! That's 2023 in a nutshell! I played a looooot of really good games this year and while I would have liked to talk about them all, I think this list provides a nice overview.
Let me know if we share any favorites!
- Gemini đ

Good news ISAT fans! The anti-woke gaming person who made the spreadsheet determining which games are woke to a somewhat accurate degree has decided that In Stars And Time is, in fact, woke!!
The funniest part about all of this is that in order to leave these reviews on steam and know if these are woke they had to play all of the games on the list, at least a little bit. This person bought In Stars And Time to write a review about how it was woke. They probably refunded it but they still bought it.
Anyway. Go play In Stars And Time!! It's so good!!
Also go check out the woke games spreadsheet because it had a bunch of indie games on it! And it even lists which ones are gay and have diversity and women!
Also maybe go check out this website. Which is a guessing game about the woke games spreadsheet which tells you the name of the game and you have to guess if it's woke or not. Super fun I would recommend. Or don't click on links from random people that's also cool
#the list also has the game Super Lesbian Animal RPG#which. they also had to buy to write the review#just to check. if it was indeed woke and had lesbians#why did they even include this game like if you hate gay people just stay away from a game titled Super Lesbian Animal RPG lmaoo#woke liberal madness#lmaooo#why is this a tag#in stars and time#isat

How Does it Feel to Read Classic Sci-Fi?
Orson Scott Card: Two of the most interesting books youâll ever read if youâre willing to look past a handful of things. And then you find the planet of Chinese people who worship having debilitating OCD. And the Mormonism. And the fact that the author is wildly homophobic and ought to read his own books.
Robert Heinlein (or at least the Wikipedia Summaries): I guess thatâs a neat conceptâoh, itâs a sex thing. Um. Gotcha.
Ray Bradbury: Man, I gotta read this thing for class huh. Well hereâs hoping itâs good! *three hours later* oh. thatâs why heâs famous. this will stick with me forever and I will never look at the phrase âsoft rainâ the same again. christ. And then repeat 3x.
Isaac Asimov: Wow, this is such an interesting concept! I wonder how the exploration of it will influence the plot! Wait, hey, are you going to add any characters? Any of em? No like, with character traits other than ârobot psychologistâ and âautisticâ and âwomanâ? None of em? No, âdetectiveâ isnât a character trait. Those are all just facts. Aaaand now Iâm bored.
Ursula K. Le Guin: Hah, get a load of this guy! Heâs never heard of nonbinary people before. Lol, what a riot; how dumb do you have to be to comprehend that these people arenât men *or* women actually? Oh, wait, whatâs happening. Oh shit, it was about society and love and learning to understand each other? And now Iâm crying? And perhaps a better human being for it??
Andy Weir: Alright, this guyâs a really good writer. Funny, creative, knows so much engineering stuffâŚooh, a new book! âŚI guess he canât write women. Well, he wouldnât be the first sci-fi writerâŚooh another new book! And itâs more engineering problem solving andâwow. Itâs not just women he canât write. Please stop letting your characters talk to each other.
Lois Lowry: Oh, I remember this being fun when I was a kid! Wouldnât it be fucked up to not see color? âŚupon reread, it would be fucked up to have your humanity stripped away, replaced with a tepid, beige âhappinessâ for all time. Yeah.
Tamsyn Muir (let me have this ok): Haha, âlesbian necromancers in spaceâ sounds fun. Lemme read this. Oh wow, yeah, this is right up my alley. OH GOD WHAT. NO. FUCK. OH SHIT WHAT IS EVEN HAPPENING AND WHY IS IT REFERENCING THE BOOK OF RUTH AND HOMESTUCK BACK TO BACK!!! AHHHHHHHHH!! Now give me more please.
#Late night book reviews with Bluejay#Not really#and itâs 1pm#If youâre curious which books#or just wanna read another essay:#Card: Enderâs Game and Speaker for the Dead are good* and the rest is Fucking Bonkers. Xenocide is the one called out specifically#Heinlein: Stranger in a Strange Landâs Wikipedia page but my understanding is itâs not the only book Like That#Bradbury: short story âThere Will Come Soft Rainsâ will fuck your up; double if you check out the comic. See also âAll SummerâŚâ and °F 451#Asimov: I; Robot is the specific ref but also its sequel novels where youâd more expect real characters and not just fact lists also#Le Guin: Left Hand of Darkness specifically but also I just love her lmao#Weir: The Martian then Artemis then Project Hail Mary#Lowry: the only stuff of herâs Iâve read is The Giver Quartet but I was shocked how good it was upon revisiting. Damn. Thatâs pointed.#Muir: Gideon the Ninth and its sequels. Theyâre so good. Read them. You will be confused by book two. Thatâs on purpose. Theyâre so good.#Yes donât come at me for my tag formatting; 140 chars isnât a lot. You try getting all three Bradbury titles in there#Also the lack of commas is an issue#Anyways I would rec basically all of these if you like sci-fi save for SiaSL (havenât read it) and all of the Enderâs Game/SftD spinoffs#Also if you do wanna read Cardâs work pls get the books 2nd hand or from a library. Or via the 7 seas. His money goes to homophobia :(#But most of em are good and all of em are classics for a reason (save for Muir who really should be lmao)#Also also donât come at me for including Weir; heâs one of the most popular sci-fi authors AND came up in the discussion that prompted this#As did everyone else except Muir because that one is actually just self indulgent.#I worked so hard to tag the first few things such that it would be clear there was an essay beneath the tag cut#Anyways tags for like actual categorization n such:#orson scott card#robert heinlein#ray bradbury#isaac asimov#ursula k. le guin#andy weir#lois lowry#tamsyn muir

The Professor Layton veredict
> All the games have daddy issues going on. All the daddies directly or indirectly are the force that cause havoc in these stories. I swear to god someone should banish dads from existing in Layton games
> PLvsAA specially was AN ENORMOUS DGS PROTOTYPE and they also repeated lots of elements in later Laytons to my own shock. Genuinely aprehensive how later entries for both series started sucking ass after this crossover. 3d was the cursed turning point

so once again i don't really have any clue as to where higurashi's story is going as i've never seen Anything about the entire game besides maybe one or two sprites. i didn't even know it would be horror. but i'm very interested in seeing how this game continues as i still have 7 chapters to go?
#leevi liveblogs#i dont think we're getting new characters and it's unlikely this will be a continuation of what we just saw#bc the little i know is that ch 1-4 are questions and 5-8 answers. so my guess rn is that we're going to go through the cases in a similar#manner in reverse-chronological order so ch2 would be about satoshi?? but that cant be#bc ok i do know ONE thing about this game and it's that when i went to look at the console voice voice actors vndb listed keiichi as protag#which. very strange.#i cant imagine this game moving forward in time in the next question chapters???#hmmm im so intrigued but i dont think i want to start a new chapter today#also im understating how little i know of the game. one time i went to the movies with a friend to see the lighthouse. and i only knew the#name of the movie and briefly saw the poster in the theaters. nothing else. i didnt even know it was b&w gfsahgfakj#i think i knew equally as much about higurashi as i did of the lighthouse#now i know 1st chapter and also i read the synopsis of the game#''wait you didnt even read the synopsis??'' the one on steam just says higurashi is a sound novel and i was afraid my beautiful wife vndb#would spoil me#this game could have been an fps or something and i wouldn't have even questioned it#or it could have been a lighthearted slice of life all the way through and i would have been just like ''oh ok makes sense''#anyways let's do the all cast review session#i didnt know higurashi had them! i knew umineko does but idk what they are but we'll see

Media Iâve Experienced in 2024 (March)
Puella Magi Madoka Magica:Rebellion (8/10)-Big Cake Round Cake Right in Front of Me!
The Little Mermaid 2023 (6/10)-The singing was good besides that wack Awkwafina rap
Craig Before The Creek (8/10)-While I liked Craig of the Creek, I wouldnât call myself a fan but this prequel was pretty fun into was the main characters were like before
Madame Web (0/10)-No reason to watch, awful effects, bland characters, boring story
Megaman X5 (7/10)-Honestly, the story was kind of stale but the gameplay was still top notch
Peacemaker (9/10)-After playing him in Mortal 1 Kombat, I loved this show. Fun characters, funny dialogue, and some pretty good fights
Megaman X6 (5/10)-Guilty pleasure, while a lot of it was annoyingly hard, I liked the virus stuff and the story
Avenue Q (9/10)-Pretty emotional musical about adulthood despite being played by muppets
Kung Fu Panda 4 (6/10)-Waaay too safe, the villain was intimidating until being defeated in 3 hits
Secrets of the Furious Five (8/10)-Pretty neat special, I liked the Furious Five from their movie screentime and the show and this helped fleshed them out
The Button of Doom (6/10)-While not as good as the movie. This is something Megamind 2 wishes it could be
South Park (8/10)-After 26 Seasons, this show is still pretty good. It has moments that make me laugh while still being shocking and there are characters I find likable to watch like Butters and Kenny
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (10/10)-Takes my favorite disk of FFVII and expands hard on it. Traversal feels freeing, the locations feel more full, and the story takes some wild turns.
Smiling Friends Season 1 (8/10)-This shows that adult cartoons donât have to be about nihilism and can be about hope and enjoying life.
Seth MacFarlaneâs Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy (3/10)-While I find Seth MacFarlane funny this didnât do it for me. The comedy while having decent setups, is ultimately too lazy to make it funny
Megaman X7 (4/10)-Gameplay was repetitive, the voice acting was bad but hey still liked it more than X3
Megaman X8 (8/10)-The gameplay is pretty fun this time, and Lumine is a pretty good villain if they expanded her more
Megaman X:The Day of Sigma (5/10)-The animation is good donât get me wrong but the pacing couldnât keep me engaged
Saw (7/10)-Pretty good story about someone who wants to help people realize they want to live by putting them in death traps
Fairy Tail 100 Years Quest Manga (Currently 8/10)-My favorite anime is Fairy Tail and this sequel expands pretty well, the Dragon Gods concept is interesting, the characters are still as they were which is how I like them, and the art during fights are really well detailed
Hello Kitty Super Style (9/10)-I love Supercute Adventures and this show honestly feels like if we got a full 11 minute show.
Mortal Kombat 1995 (8/10)-Fun action and characters. Effects didnât age the best
Grave of The Fireflies (9/10)-Really emotional movie about those suffering during war
Persona 3 Reload (10/10)-The best gameplay and presentation Persona has ever been.
Godzilla:King of Monsters (9/10)-Really cool action and monsters
King Kong:Skull Island (8/10)-Pretty good story and action
Godzilla 2014 (5/10)-Probably spoiled by how good future Monsterverse but the spectacle was kind of forgettable
Godzilla vs Kong (10/10)-Yup still as fun as I remember it
Hunter X Hunter 2011 (9/10)-As much as I want to strangle Gon the rest of the series is pretty fire
Kaguya Sama Love is War!:The First Kiss That Never Ends (9/10)-Pretty funny and emotional movie
Komi Canât Communicate (9/10)-Fluttershy as an anime girl
My Senpai Is Annoying (8/10)-I came in wanting Kurobe, left loving Futaba and Takeda
PokĂŠmon Mystery Dungeon:Explorers of Sky-Beyond Time and Darkness (5/10)-The dub is too goofy
OFF The RPG (Opinion Has Changed as of September) (8/10)-Originally I found the fights boring and the fact I was softlocked made it lower. That was a mistake. The story is really haunting and dark, the fights are really basic but not bad, and the locations have an eerie feeling to them
One Piece Film Z (10/10)-Z is a really intimidating villain and the action is pretty good
My Little Pony:The Manga (7/10)-Cute artwork, I wish the stories were better

3 Cute DU&I Puzzle Games
Last year on my birthday, I completed the puzzle game Cats Organized Neatly by DU&I. This year, I completed their two other games: Dogs Organized Neatly and Feed All Monsters!
In Cats/Dogs Organized Neatly, you're tasked to fit the unfortunately shaped animals into the given area.
Mechanically, these games are really simple! You can place them and rotate them, but otherwise, you're on your own!
With how many differently shaped animals they included in each game, I'm surprised the Organized Neatly games only last 80 levels each (Feed All Monsters lasts 200 levels in comparison). Definitely wouldn't have minded more puzzles, but 80 is a good place to stop since the puzzles were getting difficult (for me) and it keeps the games pretty short.
In Feed All Monsters, you lead a team of food delivery workers in delivering food to hungry monsters.
The premise of the game is really fun. As well, the base mechanics are straightforward. Each worker has a maximum distance they can travel and a number of food they can bring. Like the Organized Neatly games, more mechanics are introduced as you progress. And while I liked the portals near the end, I particularly liked the water mechanics!
One thing I appreciate in Feed All Monsters apart from the Organized Neatly games is that it has hints for people like me who aren't that great at puzzle games.
The art style for all three games is on point. Love how soft everything looks and their use of colour in Feed All Monsters is great in making a friendly atmosphere. Cats/Dogs Organized Neatly has a clear colour theme that works well. Plus all the animals and monsters are great.
The music could get a bit grating if you're stuck on puzzles, but I suppose that's true with any puzzle game.
DU&I making some quality games here. They're very cute and pretty difficult (again, as someone who's not good at puzzle games). Would recommend for puzzle lovers or cat/dog lovers for their first two games.
As always,
Enjoy gaming!

Already subjected my discord mutuals to this. Itâs your turn, Tumblr!
Over the span of like 3 days, I listened to the entirety of Epic: The Musical (or whatâs released of it, anyways. Iirc thereâs two albums yet to be released.) And now Iâm gonna pick my fave and least faves. Because why not <3
The Troy Saga Fave: Open Arms. Itâs iconic, the dude who voiced Polites did great, and itâs referenced a ton in other songs. Least Fave: I guess Warrior of the Mind, if I had to pick. Idk. I like the Troy saga.
The Cyclops Saga Fave: Survive. That, and Polyphemus coming right before it are such good songs. The pure terror in their voices around the end of Survive were just chefâs kiss Least Fave: My Goodbye. It made me dislike Athena (until the Wisdom saga, at least) ;-;
The Ocean Saga Fave: Luck Runs Out. Itâs also referenced in future songs (I think?) and itâs pretty catchy imo. Least Fave: None. If I HAD to pickâŚig Keep Your Friends Close? Ocean Saga doesnât have a single bad song. Change my mind đ
(More below the cut. Tisâ a long post)
The Circe Saga Fave: Done For. The part that went âHermes gave you that didnât heâ âlol yeah. But still-â (paraphrasing) was great. Least Fave: There Are Other Ways. Nope nope nope nope nope I got no idea whatâs going on back there but it sounds like sheâs trying to charm him. Nope.
The Underworld Saga Fave: The Underworld. The faint reprise of Open Arms gave me chills. Least Fave: No Longer You. Underworld also has no bad songs. I just had to pick one. Sorry :(
The Storm Saga Fave: SCYLLA SCYLLA SCYLLAâ in all seriousness, Scylla is what got me into listening to the whole thing. I love it to death. Itâs my discord status too. Least Fave: Mutiny. Started out strong. Kinda lost its charm after the actual mutiny part. Maybe Iâm just an Odysseus sympathizer haha.
The Wisdom Saga Fave: God Games. Athena redemption ark real!! She actually called Odyâs son a friend, too 𼺠Least Fave: Weâll Be Fine. Apparently it wasnât very memorable as I listened to it an hour-ish ago and I already forgot how it goes.
#random#music review#epic the musical#have i mentioned that i really like scylla?#oh; and if I had to pick a top 3 out of all the songs listed; itâd be 1. Scylla 2. The Underworld and 3. God Games

Fic Writing Review 2023
Tagged by the glorious @thewolvesof1998.
Words and Fics
117,284 words published to AO3 (so many words still in docs as WIPs)
2 fandoms (9-1-1 and The Rookie)
Most recent drop: i opened my eyes (and all i saw was you)
Longest Fic: hard kick, slow burn (M, 11,382 words)
Top Fics by Kudos (all Buddie)
and i always will (M, 2,365 words)
you're where i stand, hearing the sea (T, 2,972 words)
i am never without it (T, 3,404 words)
a madman and a minstrel (T, 2,575 words)
to the depth and breadth and height (M, 6,231 words)
My fandom fic events in 2023
Flufftober 2023! And it was a banger.
My Buddie collection for Flufftober can be found here.
Upcoming Events and Projects for 2024
Fics I'm going to try and get out in the upcoming year:
Almost complete:
lazarus rising - Buck needs space after the lightning strike. Eddie doesn't understand, not really, but he lets him go. But when Buck comes home, he finds out that something has gone terribly, terribly wrong.
Already started:
magical realism fic (Buck thinks he's allergic to Eddie. Spoiler warning: he's not).
vesper - inspired by the poker episode, Athena asks the boys to go undercover in a poker ring. Think Casino Royale.
Gravedigger fic - fans of Bones will immediately know what I'm talking about here, amirite?
not like this (title TBC) - based on the New Girl kiss (IYKYK)
snow shovel fic - AU where Buck and Eddie are neighbours. it's a whole thing.
you're in my arms (and all the world is calm) sequel - Chenford fic, sequel is from Lucy's POV (and answers the cliffhanger from YIMA)
a Davrick (Schitt's Creek) piece inspired by the 9-1-1: Lone Star episode 'Saving Grace'.
Ideas/planned fics (basically the Notes app on my phone):
No Nut November fic - my actual November turned hectic, but if all goes well I'll still write this one because the plot makes me giggle.
Multi-chapter AU featuring past lives, reincarnation, and soul mates.
night strewn salt across the sky sequel - featuring Barista!Buck and Nurse!Eddie's First Date!
when words and deeds are in accord (my whole world is transformed) sequel - featuring established Buddie fluffiness. With singing!
apocalypse fic - snow. so much snow.
I have had so much fun writing in the 9-1-1 fandom this year - I switched from the HP fandom due to Reasons, and the welcome and love I've been shown has been truly lovely.
Thank you so much to everyone who has read/left kudos/commented/mentioned me in a post or sent me an ask - y'all are amazing.
