'It's a girl!'

Talking about video games through weird personal angles. Emphasis on deep-dives into mechanical depth, while still trying to extract an emotional core from those experiences. Lover of weirder arcade and art games! :3

Highlights

 

Arcade-Stylings

Risk and rewards, framework and structure, push and pulls; game design as a collection of interesting rules stacked on top of eachother.

 

Action Games

Extrapolating depth from sweat, keyframes, and hitboxes.

 

Adventure

Discussing storytelling, the ways games can make us feel lost in a world larger than us. Often where my stuff gets fuzziest in the lines between mechanical and narrative analysis

 

Indie Oddities

Weird stuff! Sometimes obscure and ridiculous!

Yearly Microblogging

Short-form writeups on every game played per year. You can kinda see my corruption over the years
