Since I know a lot of my blog visitors don't use or follow me in other places, I like to occasionally make compilation posts like this. I've done it for The Sims and Project Zomboid, so now Baldur's Gate 3 gets a turn! I've been using Tumblr a lot lately, so that's where these are from. Sorry if I went overboard 😅 I talk about this game a lot, so I tried to pick the ones that I thought...
I have spent a lot of time this year playing games. They've been a great distraction from the struggles of real life, and they're also just fun and pretty and interesting! So these are my favorite games that I either started or finished or both this year (no repeats from previous years). There's actually a surprising mix here of bigger games, smaller games, free games, and even one mobile...
It's my eight year blogiversary! But it's been five years since I started talking about games on the blog, in addition to books. And when my blog turned five years old, I made a post about my five favorite books in five years of blogging. So now I'm doing the same with games. That was a really clunky paragraph, but you get it, right? There are definitely more than five games that I love...
I didn't do one of these posts last year because I didn't play enough games, but I played a lot this year, and so many of them were fantastic! There were even more great games that didn't make my list, but I managed to make myself stop at ten. So in no particular order, except the last two, here they...
I didn't have a post planned for today and didn't feel up to doing a lot of work, and I've been obsessed with Project Zomboid lately, so this seemed the perfect solution! If you're not familiar with Project Zomboid, it's basically The Sims with zombies. Your character (I never know what to call them) has needs, there are survival elements, there's lots of crafting, and there are zombies trying...
I talk about accessibility in gaming (making computer/video games so that more people, especially disabled people, can play) a lot around Twitter, and I include a section to mention it in my reviews for games. I've also written a blog post about making games for screen reader users. But I've never talked broadly about what sort of things might make a game accessible and why these things are...
I love visual novels and dating sims. I'm also a sighted person who uses a screen reader sometimes because of a problem with my eyes/head that is aggravated by looking at computer screens, especially to read a bunch of text. VNs are a type of game that could be totally accessible to anyone who uses a screen reader (which includes blind and visually impaired players) because they're text-based!...
Don't make fun of my category name, I couldn't think of anything better. Am I even a gamer? Do the types of games I play count as being a "gamer"?? Anyway, games! I played more games this year than I ever have before, which is surprising considering the head nerve problem I developed last year that gives me headaches to look at electronic screens. But many of these games were entirely or...
