Sub-Verge is a puzzle game in which you're trapped in a sub that's filling with water while a deadly creature hunts the deep. You must secure the help of divers from the base below, who are full of interpersonal drama and will only grab onto your sub in a certain order you have to figure out based on clues, in order to complete your mission and...
Good work everyone, we've made it through another month! To be honest, I don't even know what I did in January. Survived? I played some Palia, but even that has slowed up. I tried playing Sable, but I think I'm giving up because the movement is too slow and clunky for me, making the exploration not fun. Technically I think this was in February, but I also played a bit of Rollercoaster Tycoon,...
I think the first update post of the new year is always the most difficult for me to write because the socially acceptable thing to do is to say, "Happy New Year!" and be excited about a new beginning. But, even though that would be easy enough to do, it would feel disingenuous. I have health problems that are getting more imminent and, to summarize it very succinctly, my whole situation is bad....
I read fewer books this year than I have probably since I started blogging ten years ago, so there's actually not ten books here. That felt like too many, and there were only six books that I rated 4.5 or 5 stars. Two of which are a duology and three of which were rereads (though I do still count rereads because if a book was that great more than once, it deserves recognition more than once). I...
Next up on my end of the year lists: characters from the books I've read and games I've played! I also sneaked one podcast in here, but the title stays because it's not worth the work of changing the graphic. I also sneaked more than ten characters in here, technically, but that's ok. And I may have talked too much about some of them when these are supposed to be quick descriptions, but I...
Yes, I'm doing my monthly update like two weeks late, on a Thursday. It is what it is! Would've felt weirder to not do one at all. I don't have much to report though. I've just been surviving and, shockingly, taking a break from Baldur's Gate 3 and playing Palia instead. Also shockingly, it turns out Palia doesn't give me motion sickness, so I've actually been able to play it. It is harder on my...
I know I don't really talk about the "life" part of "Life and Books" anymore, but, well. Today is not the day I'm going to change that, so let me tell you instead about the games I played (or attempted to play)! Much to no one's surprised, I'm still playing Baldur's Gate 3. I'm currently close to wrapping up an all druids run, which has been very fun. Druids are so strong in combat (in this...
As usual, I don't have any good life stuff to talk about, so let's see, what else do I have... I played something other than BG3 (a rare occurrence nowadays), a little game called Lovingly Evil. I already reviewed it, so you can check that out if you're interested. Tbh, some things didn't quite work for me, but the two romances I did were cute. I've been watching Rapunzel's Tangled...
Lovingly Evil is a dating sim (with some non-romance endings too) about attending an evil villain conference. Mingle with other villains, attend presentations, play some mini games, and maybe find a new friend or romance...
Ok, let's see. What happened in July that's actually worth talking about? I missed my blogiversary! My ten year blogiversary! So I will do a post for that this month, maybe next weekend. I watched Strange World, the Disney/Pixar/whatever movie. I liked it! I loved the visuals of the whole, well, strange world. And it was a cute story. Still playing BG3, though honestly, even that has...
