Cult of the Lamb
Introduction Cult of the Lamb is greater than the sum of its parts. It doesn’t quite achieve rogue-like or base-building legendary status, but the overall package is elevated higher than its reach. Story You’re a lamb sacrificed by four gods named “the bishops of old faith.” Upon death, you meet an imprisoned fifth bishop named…

Twinkle is Back
It’s December first, so it’s Twinkle’s time of year. Twinkle is Emily’s Elf on a Shelf for six years now. I worry this year might be the elf’s last year of magic.Emily is pretty dang smart. It’s my parent’s duty to think so, but so does everyone else. Not only is she smart, but she’s…

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty
I have replayed a couple games in my life. Last of Us, God of War, and Mass Effect come to mind. But rarely, even with replays, have I clocked in 126 hours into a single game. With Cyberpunk, I played it twice and this last play through was 89 hours and over twice as long…

A Love for Videogames
Growing up as a kid in the 80s, my first experience with video games was in an arcade. I don’t remember the first time I played a game, but I have early memories of my mom taking me to 7-Eleven to play Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat while she played the slots. Like many kids,…

Piano Recital
Everything Emily does is good. And this isn’t parent talk. Sure, it’s my job to think she is fantastic, but honestly, most things come easy to her. I totally get it. I have been that way my whole life. Good at everything, great at nothing. The downside of things coming easy is when they get…

My First Post
I am sitting here on a Tuesday afternoon. There are a lot of things I should be doing but I am not. Instead, at the age of 39, and well past the prime of blogs, I am writing the first post of my own. I once saw a TikTok of a girl about 18 years…
