It is every fangirl's dream to date their idol. And most of the time, that dream never comes true. It's just a little phase that they go through before they mature and become adults.
But not for me, because as of now, I am officially ~ScytheRider (https://www.deviantart.com/scytherider)'s girlfriend!
I know some people used to joke that he and I were dating for a long time (you know who you are...), but it's officially true as of now! We'll even be seeing each other in a month in real life for a couple of weeks! It's pretty surreal, let me tell you, knowing that I can finally put a face to a bunch of text (and voice).
Ahhh I can't even begin to explain how happy I am. H
In a previous journal essay about whether or not I think games are art, I defined a game to be “A set of rules that defines a contest.” While I still think this is a decent definition, consider this question:
In chess, a player wins if their opponent forfeits. Therefore, the most efficient opening move in chess would be to point a gun at the opponent’s head and demand that they forfeit.
But… if I were to utilize this strategy, have I truly won a game of chess? On one hand, the rules of chess state that I have won, but on the other hand, no actual moves were made, and technically the game didn’t even start. So&

So, earlier this year, during the first couple months of the quarantine, I binge-watched a ton of anime. Here are my short reviews on each one of them: Land of the Lustrous (Houseki no Kuni) Episodes: 12 My score: 7/10 Premise: Humanoid gems battle alien invaders from the moon. Review: Steven Universe but anime. Well, on a surface level at least. Overall it was nice. A bit of a slow start, though. CGI was good. Some interesting imagery going on. The setting was a bit barren, though. Just grassy plains and little else beyond that. The story is interesting, but is also woefully incomplete. Many questions are introduced, yet almost none are answered. The story just stops at a random point. The manga it's based on continues far beyond where the anime ends, but more seasons seem very unlikely at this point. Overall, I'd say it was alright, but not something I would go out of my way to watch. Kill la Kill Episodes: 26 My score: 9/10 Premise: In a world of badasses where clothes are serious

Okay! Let's begin:
The first game was a rather unique take on the Metroidvania subset of 2D platformers. It was big, complex, full of retro charm, and difficult enough that it didn't care one bit whether the average player would ever see the staff roll or not. It was a bold experiment by a small Japanese indie team obsessed with the old MSX 8-bit system, and I found it utterly fascinating. The WiiWare remake of 2012 -the version I played first- was one of my favorite games of that year.
La-Mulana 2 is... essentially the same game, with a new coat of paint.
Let's start from the beginning. La-Mulana (and
Today I feel like talking about S&M.
And by that I mean Pokemon Sun and Moon. But you knew that already. I mean, what else could S&M possibly stand for, right?
So, yeah. The 7th generation of the Pokemon core series came out last month, to considerable success. I played it for the better part of the last few weeks myself. Having already completed the main story and most of the post-game content, I decided that it's time for me to share my (spoiler-free!) impressions.
Basically, this is the best Pokemon game I've ever played. That's not to say it's perfect, but it came pretty close in my book, and I thoroughly enjoyed my time with i
