Looking for garden shears I’d lost, found a lake instead. It had been hidden under a lot of brush and a fallen fence at the back of the property. We call it Loch Mess #BlueSkyGardens #HiddenLake #kayaking

What you do every day is your life. What you do at home, when you wake up, before bed, in the margins of time we don't think about because they happen so often. Where is the video game about those mar...

Shrug off your worldly desires and become train. Chug and groan through a world that reflects a fantasy, an image of The Town of Natural Beauty and Hot Springs that exists in FMV dreams and NHK Youtube videos, and maybe nowhere else.

More a game masquerading as one for the freaks than truly freakish. It could be so much more if it just let go. Embrace crunchy freaky, reject smoothy comfy. Clair Obscur is somewhat in the middle but just too shiny, too watered down.

This is an ugly game. I quite enjoyed a lot of it, but it is ugly and I'm going to have to focus on that because I think there's a rot at the creative heart of this game that reflects a broader miasma...

Hole is state of being, a way of life. Hole is the center of all things. As someone with a lot of hole experience, I can say this game unfortunately knows very little about holes.
