Video games, video game music, compelling stories, and tasty food. All I wanna do is #demo you.
XeGrader Plus is a shmup set in single screen fantasy stages with occasional switches or things to do besides shoot. Lovely pixel art, but the controls are a little loose which leads to accidental failures. #demo

Spiner Lasher is a decent attempt at a Castlevania clone, but the jumping controls aren't quite right and the music is too repetitive. #demo

It took nearly 10 years, but I finally beat all 100 challenge levels in Super Mario Maker 3DS. Some super fiendish puzzles in the later levels, and some incredible challenges await if you want to get all the medals. Really fun to see the mechanics stretched.

I watched Lanterns. It's basically a True Detective version of a super hero show (but not as good as TD). Great acting and character work, but the plot just isn't all that interesting.

Forspoken is on sale for $10 again, so I decided to finally try the #demo to see if I like it. It’s a mediocre Action/RPG with dull open world environments. “Magic parkour” movement is kinda fun, but the combat doesn’t feel great and the camera is the real enemy. Think I’ll pass.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is an excellent RPG. While the story starts off slow and depressing, the character writing, music, and battle system are all great. I can see why it won so many awards. #demo

Pacific Drive is a survival game about maintaining a car in a hostile exclusion zone. The onboarding experience is painfully dull and confusing, and I lost interest quickly. #demo

Mario Golf Super Rush feels somewhat half-baked with a bland interface and new modes where you (poorly) run after your ball, but the changes to the swing meter are interesting and there’s a campaign mode to teach you the ropes. #demo

Death Trick Double Blind is a visual novel similar to the Ace Attorney games about a circus murder where you must collect and present evidence with limited actions to advance conversations. It’s ok, but I didn’t love the #demo

Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse is mostly good, but controls could be more responsive, art and music are off brand, and story/writing are awful. I liked that XP continues to accumulate over successive failures against the first boss which incentivizes you to keep trying. #demo

Dragon Quest XI feels more accessible than other DQ games with enemies visible on the field and the ability to knock them out of the way with your horse. Story starts off super slow, but it’s charming. After the first couple hours, I like it so far. #demo

I watched the Backrooms movie. While it succeeds at building creepy liminal spaces and showing how people become trapped inside their own trauma, it ultimately feels unsatisfying.

Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake sure is pretty. It also sure is Dragon Quest. Battles still have the text scroll and overly complex systems abound. #demo

Fantasian Neo Dimension’s storybook cutscenes bore, but the innovative battle aiming and encounter stocking (collect enemies from random battles and fight them when you want all at once) make up for it. Just be sure to slow down the field map camera switch in the options. #demo

I wanted to like Tearscape more than I actually did. It's a soulslike masquerading as a Zeldalike with imprecise controls that make combat frustrating. Lovely art, though. #demo

I watched The Phoenician Scheme. It's an absurdist look at a desperate businessman's pain and peril as he tries to save his dreams and reconnect with his family. I was entertained, but I didn't love it.

I watched Asteroid City and I liked it. Typical Wes Anderson fare, so probably not for the unprepared, but I enjoyed the intertwining tale of artists and characters processing their baggage.

Tetris Forever collects 19 classic variations of Tetris, one new version, and one random Famicom game of Go alongside some documentary content to give historical context. I enjoyed messing around with it. #demo

I watched Supergirl. Milly Alcock and Eve Ridley are great, but the movie itself is forgettable, with a weak plot and poorly done action scenes.

I played through Sopa, a short adventure game about a lonely boy helping his grandma make soup. He imagines a world of obstacles that stand between him and the potatoes needed for the soup. Artistically nice, but mechanically a drag. #demo

After slowly working on it for a couple months, I finished Sea of Stars and its 2026 DLC. In short, I loved it. The story takes a while to get going, but everything else about the game is phenomenal.
