slanderoid’s Monster of the Week! (#4: Zombies*)

Welcome back to slanderoid’s Monster of the Week series, a series where I dutifully publish a new post every single week, no matter what the date on the last post says! On an unrelated note, I’m thinking that I might change the name of the series to “Monster of the Month” and change the frequency…

An open letter to game developers about fishing minigames

Dear game developers, I love you guys. I’m not even being hyperbolic – your art has been with me through most of my life. It fuels my curiosity, my imagination, and my nostalgia. Even the worst parts of my life have been better thanks to the thousands of hours you’ve spent crafting these experiences. I…

slanderoid’s Monster of the Week! (#3: Wendigo)

Welcome back to “Slanderoid’s Monster of the Week!” where I gush about one of my favorite monsters for nearly a thousand words and you encourage this troublesome behavior by engaging with it with your eyeballs. Yes, I know this is over a year late. If you have a problem with it (or think that this…

Video Game exclusivity is stupid and it hurts everyone (even you)

I was recently recommended a game called Shinsekai: Into the Depths by a kind soul on Mastodon and, as I always do, I hopped into the Steam app to add it to my wishlist. What I found there left my eyes rolling around like pool balls and my distended jaw on the table like some…

Learning to love (or at least like) country music

I’ve lived in Midwest USA for most of my life and I’ve been exposed to country music the entire time. When I was younger, I used to shit on it. Whenever a country song would play, I’d say the usual things: “they’re just crying about their truck”, or “they’re just in love with their truck”.…

Alright, that’s enough fun – it’s time to get serious
I’ve decided that this is the year to get more involved in blogging (or whatever you call this thing). This site has been pretty much dormant for a couple of years. It always seemed like such a hassle, you know? First I’d type up a review and post it on the store page of whatever…

I tore myself away from the Steam Deck long enough to write a (REVIEW)

I love portable gaming devices. I think I’ve almost always had one since finding a GameGear under the Christmas tree when I was a kid (plus a Marlboro fanny pack to hold it and all my games). So, when I made the jump to primarily playing games on PC several years back, I eventually felt…

Horizon Zero Dawn: a probably good game that I don’t want to play

It’s so hard for me to choose in this one: to recommend or not to recommend…? This is going to come down to my gut feeling and my gut is probably going to be wrong. But, here goes nothing: There is a lot of fun to be had with this game. Aloy feels responsive and…
