Hi everyone! My name's Olivia, and I'm a software engineer by trade who likes to play video games and board games, write about the former, and sometimes paint minis for the latter. Happy to be here! 😊

Just when I think I'm out, the early Black Friday sales pull me back in...😅
(To be fair, a lot is just, "Oh, I was planning on buying this when I go out the day of, but I see it's way cheaper here online, so I guess I'll snag it now," rather than me finding a ton of new things to buy. But still. 😝)

Dang, can't believe the Xbox 360 turns 20 today! It holds a special place in my heart, because it was the first home console I bought with my own money. 😊 Played the hell out of it in high school, and still have it (in good working order!) to this day. Microsoft sucks, but they cooked with this one!

Wow, okay, so apparently I just keep having more and more to say about the games I'm covering! Anyway, time for a huge review of the delightfully zany #shootyshootyrobotinvasion! Big thanks to #keymailer for providing a copy!

Shooty Shooty Robot Invasion Review
It feels like it’s been a while since I’ve played a good ol’ straightforward first-person shooter. The last one I reviewed is certainly a distant memory: that honour goes to Mothe…

Found out about an impending writing deadline this past Friday, and since then I've had two separate crashouts over different things that have completely crippled my ability to write. I'll get through it I'm sure, but I'm so ready to yeet my government and a chunk of the internet off a cliff. 😮💨

It's TRANS AWARENESS WEEK and that means it's a great week to ignore the hysterical nonsense of bigots and understand that Trans people are awesome and deserve respect and love.

3 years ago today, Riot Games offered me a job making more money than I ever thought I’d make in my life. I had 19 interviews over 2.5 months to get it. Partner and I were moving to LA for it. I put in notice at my job and apartment.
2 weeks later they rescinded the offer due to “headcount issues”.

I don't usually post about ongoing crowdfunding campaigns and the like, but this looks absolutely rad and hasn't even hit 50% of its goal with 5 days left, so if it looks cool to you too, you should join me in backing! 😁
