Tried my hand at one of those Top 25 game charts. Tried not to think too much, and I no doubt left off some favourites but this is a pretty good summary of my tastes.
This child will be too powerful
Me seeing my inbox full up with last minute student questions about the final assessment.

Ya had 2 months, kids! (And I am too tired for this)
New clickbait dropped. At least it's not "The Dark Souls of..."

Nintendo Life limply justify the title but, spoiler, there is no Balatro in Xenotilt. It is a great game in its own right, it does not need the deceptive comparison.

Seen a few stinkers from this site lately, lame.
Was craving more Metroidvania after finishing Hollow Knight but didn't want to immediately jump into Silksong.

Holy crap, the movement in Lost Crown is SUBLIME
12 minutes until the bloodbath
Christmas shopping got me overstimulated like
Rolled credits on Hollow Knight. I know there are other endings, but I'm calling it done.

Had a really good time with it. I prefer Metroidvanias a little more condensed than this, but I can't hardly say the size was a *bad* thing.
Worse still, people using his opinions as a springboard for their worldview.
!!!!

Didn't know about this, listening now!
I'm going to try Hades again. I can't tell if I dislike it due to associating it with my ex who loved it, or if I just don't enjoy forced meta-progression grinding in rogue-likes/lites.

I loved Rogue Legacy, but that somehow felt a lot more authentic. I just don't know 🫥
Today's art. Had a bit of a rough psych session today so it was good to get home and spend some extra time with my pens
I've wanted this Mojo Dojo Casa House Ken ever since I saw the Barbie movie and now he is finally mine! 😍 I love everything about this doll, but especially the box!
Little bit of portrait practice tonight
Such a sweet student. She opened up so much after she knew I understood her. Struggling in ways I struggled in undergrad. I didn't reach out for help back then, but I'm trying to make a safer learning environment for people like her (and the younger me) so they feel they can.
Partway into a student consultation in my office:

S: "Can we stop? I have to ask - are you autistic and have ADHD?"

Me: "....Yes, why?"

S: "Thank GOD I can unmask around you"

I'm trying not to think too much about how she picked it. Like knows like I suppose.
Looks great! Always been struck by the visual design of this game. I really should try it some time for myself.

I always study with the soundtrack playing, so hopefully that doesn't make playing it feel weird! 😂
I'm terrible at remembering which releases are actually from the current year. Might lose some cred on this one, but I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the new Cradle of Filth.

Perturbator's recent album has some great tracks too.
Balancing trying to learn from books with doodling for fun.
Hard to keep learning how to draw when I feel my art is bad and it's taking longer than I want to get better.

But then I remember there are A.I "artists" (puke) and simply creating is better than not creating. Framing my art journey as pushing back against the flattening of human expression helps
I'm SO late to Hollow Knight and only just now approaching endgame. This is getting me really excited to play Silksong (old Marth main in Smash Bros so I love me some parries)
Why does this feel like a slur
Draculaura was the doll that got me interested in collecting too 🩷🖤
You can check the Mattel website for your local currency. It's just under $200 AUD.
I am IN LOVE with the Monster High x Alien Skullector doll. Holy shit. It's $200 but I've never seen a more incredible doll 🥹
Star Trek is cool

Star Trek in MTG does not feel cool
