Draft 1.10 Golem Project In Progress First Chapter Previous Chapter “Okay,” Wessel said, his voice barely a whisper. He reached over and hit the eXit tab on the keyboard, and the simulation disappeared. “Program off,” he said. “Computer off.” “Hey,” Lillian said. “What was— that was cool. Why’d you shut it off?” “I need to … Continue reading Golem Project Part 10

Steam Cleaning #15: Finding Xavier
Celeste is one of my top three games of all time. When I saw a devlog about making an 'Excellent Platformer' featuring an artstyle kinda like the one in Celeste, it was an instant click. I followed along in the video, enjoyed the analysis of what makes platformers tick, and proceeded to by the game … Continue reading Steam Cleaning #15: Finding Xavier
The Prairie Martian by Jonathan Eaton — A Review
The Prairie Martian was, in short, a lot better than I thought it would be. When I picked up the book, the cover didn't inspire me, and the first chapter didn't catch me immediately. The prose seemed overly windy and drawn out. But when the moody narration of the book set into its groove, time … Continue reading The Prairie Martian by Jonathan Eaton — A Review
Steam Cleaning #14: Brawlhalla
Platform fighters have long been my favorite multiplayer genre… okay, Super Smash Bros. Brawl has long been my favorite. The rest are pretty good. When I found Brawlhalla in my library with only six minutes played (and no memory of playing it), I wondered what stopped me. Was six minutes even long enough to experience … Continue reading Steam Cleaning #14: Brawlhalla
Golem Project Part 9
Draft 1.09 Golem Project In Progress First Chapter Previous Chapter How had he ever gotten anything done without a golem? Wessel had trouble remembering. Aizi was everything he thought she’d be, and more. She allowed him to multitask, to move forward with his project at ridiculous speeds. That first night, Wessel had gone to sleep … Continue reading Golem Project Part 9
Steam Cleaning #13: Dicey Dungeons
Dicey Dungeons is a roguelite game of chance and strategy with a sense of humor and a short, pick-up-and-play style. In other words, it's right up my alley. As someone who has over a hundred hours in popular roguelite game Slay the Spire, this game immediately spoke to me. Turn-based battles with a random array … Continue reading Steam Cleaning #13: Dicey Dungeons
Blacklight Born (The Combat Codes) by Alexander Darwin — A Review
Blacklight Born, like the two books before it, stands strong and unique in a sea of derivative books. I've never read better unarmed martial combat in any book, and the world and characters shaped around that combat are a joy. While each book in The Combat Codes is individually excellent, I kinda wish they fit … Continue reading Blacklight Born (The Combat Codes) by Alexander Darwin — A Review
Steam Cleaning #12: Dandara: Trials of Fear Edition
Dandara is a game about movement. It controls differently from any other game in existence, as far as I'm aware, sending the titular character rocketing through zero gravity to connect to magnetic-ish surfaces. Angling my control stick and taking rapid-fire leaps from surface to surface looks and feels amazing; the feedback from the screen and … Continue reading Steam Cleaning #12: Dandara: Trials of Fear Edition
Golem Project Part 8
Draft 1.08 Golem Project In Progress First Chapter Previous Chapter Treat her as you would any other golem. Wessel did exactly what Vincent had told him to do. He went to class after class, and all the while there was a presence looming behind him. Aizi. He practiced the name, silently moving his lips. It … Continue reading Golem Project Part 8
Steam Cleaning #11: Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes
I wanted to like Metal Gear Solid V. In the past, I'd already tried and bounced off of The Phantom Pain, but it's been a while. Maybe this time would be different. It was not. MGSV is an amazing game. Graphics are phenomenal, the stealth gameplay works perfectly, and I never feel like I'm fighting … Continue reading Steam Cleaning #11: Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes
