For anyone who may not know, I am a huge nerd. The majority of my life has been spent immersed in various fandom cultures to some extent or the other. I love seeing what inspires people in different fandoms to create art or fiction or even song parodies. It’s only been in…
As I write this, we’re beginning our second week of 2022, and it still doesn’t quite feel real to me. The past two years have just sort of blurred together to the point where I almost doubt that they’ve even happened, although they absolutely have. It doesn’t help that things have been fairly chaotic for everyone lately, either, namely due to a certain, ah, “panorama,” shall we say. For my part, I’ve been a bit all over the place. Although…
Another year is coming to a close, and as a new year dawns, new things rise. Earlier this month, my stream team (Nest Fam) joined forces with Ikigai (another stream team) to raise money for the Trans Women of Color Collective, and I brought back the Wheel of Horror as incentives for the campaign. Well, thanks to some surprising contributions, we’re now committed to playing every single horror game that was on that wheel! I don’t think it’s an exaggeration…
NaNoWriMo ends today, and I’m sure at least some of you are wondering how I did. Was I successful? Did I write 50,000 words in a month? Unfortunately, no. No, I did not. Some might consider that a failure. For a little while, I certainly did. However, a major goal I had with NaNoWriMo 2021 was just to write something again. Hitting that 50,000-word goal would have been nice, but that wasn’t the whole point of this exercise. The point…
Some of you may have noticed that it has been fairly quiet over here on this blog over the past couple of weeks. This is mainly because I made the perhaps questionable decision to participate in Nation Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo, this year after not participating in it for eight years. To be honest, it’s a decision that I’m still questioning even now. At one point in my life, I wanted to be a writer. I devoured a lot…
If you’ve been hanging around here on the blog since August, you know just how excited I’ve been for the tiny multiplayer online RPG Book of Travels. It finally came into Early Access on October 11, and, as I’m sure you can imagine, I was just as excited the day it launched onto Steam. We’ve had Book of Travels for almost two weeks now, and I thought this would be a good time to record my thoughts on the game…

Maybe you’ve watched a streamer play The Elder Scrolls Online and that inspired you to acquire it. Maybe some friends have started playing and you want to play with them. Or maybe it’s a free-to-play event and you’re taking the opportunity to see what all the fuss is about. However you got here, welcome to Tamriel! We’re happy to have you! You’re about to embark on a journey that’s a classic Elder Scrolls experience mixed with an MMORPG. Whether you…
About a week ago, Massively OP posed a question to their staff and readers inspired by a post they saw on Reddit. The question was a simple one, one you can probably guess if you looked at the title of this post at all, but it’s an interesting question nonetheless: Would you play your favorite MMO without its IP attached to it? While I missed the initial post when Massively OP made it, it became a topic of some discussion…
As someone who tends more towards telling fantasy stories, I honestly never expected to be into Vampire: The Masquerade as a game setting. I’m not entirely sure why I never expected this given that I’ve been fascinated by vampires since I was in high school and took a copy of Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire out of the school library on multiple occasions. Never mind that that book probably shouldn’t have even been in my high school’s library and…
