Sorry I missed your text I am processing a non stop 24/6 onslaught of information with a brain designed to survive on fruits and nuts in a rainproof cave

as i get older the more i’m very happy to be clear about my deeply specific interests. i also will probably watch sabrina at coachella though because i contain multitudes
just found the perfect YouTube video made specifically for me. hidden gems of lowfi drum and bass played over footage of SSX tricky, the snowboarding game. sensory paradise
It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly
Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way
you know you’re cooked when you’re loading up tumblr for the first time in two years
I have a birdsong app on my phone as of yesterday when the dawn chorus went bananas. A happy little robin is absolutely contributing to the score
Ahh hello!! Absolutely yes!! 🥰 would love to!
why are you out here talking to dr Mel king in the ambulance bay, fucker? yeah. thought so
season 3 of the Pitt divorce arc for Langdon or bust

started nothing bad is going to happen and was already very 🤨 but then the second the baby showed up? bye!! fuck this!
i feel the rewards for this sleep situation will be p huge tbh so i’m keeping my eyes on the horizon. my sore, bleary eyes
in a whopper sleep regression this week, making normal functioning much, much harder. mad to think much of the child rearing workforce is just out here on two hours sleep
Sarah Maria Griffin, acclaimed author of Eat the Ones You Love, returns with STRANGE IS THE LIGHT! 🎲
A childhood game of wild imagination takes a frightening turn in this dark, strange, moving tale of intense friendship, tangled secrets and betrayal…
Coming 8th September! 👁️

I reckon ours is independent walking this week (we’re so close) but who can tell, they come out with mad little upgrades you can’t expect. Very exciting about the big speech strides, that must be so exciting! (But yes. Eyes falling out of head)
Solidarity. Our bab woke up at half twelve and stayed up. Is still up. We are cooked (it’s a leap. idk what she’s leaning but it’s coming soon)
welcome home, sailors
the pitt has in the last week given me absolute brain worms. walking around doing dana voice. baby jane doe etc
Thank you Karl! I am on weirdly regularly, every couple of weeks to throw in my take on subcultural stuff or nostalgic things, I know the vibe they call me for - but god I think video games need more and better criticism in Irish media & I’d love to be the gal to do it!
the time will come when i crawl out of the dark with a collection of personal essays about games and being a ‘Girl’. you mark my words. until then we smooth over our brains in pokopia
Oh man Tunic is so good, fuck, it LOVES Zelda doesn’t it? It’s such a gorgeous (balls hard) work. And yes! Links awakening and oracle of the ages & seasons, truly perfect
It’s such a great little game, lots of research and depth in it, I was beat into it!
Oh my god Flower! I haven’t thought about that in ages! This is the thing, I’m researching a big ole proposal right now & reading Homo Ludens, the OG philosophy book on play: meditative play is crucial! Surprise and invention is so important! Guns are kind of lazy gameplay at this point imo!
I haven’t played those!! I’ll lash them on steam for when Pokopia unhands me
May we both be running around Hyrule forever, what a landscape to breathe in x
This is the thing! My coziest game is Donkey Kong Country 2, or Majora’s Mask. They are absolutely not in the cozy genre but they evoke coziness for me!
like i have played hella games but there are also so, so many i can’t get to. time is so slim and i don’t want what happened to books to happen to games for me: they become work, the joy is murdered by pressure you know? i want to make sure they remain amazing to me if that makes sense
🫡 thank u friend!!
That is beautiful!!
Absolutely adored A Short Hike! It’s one of my all time favourites. I listen to the soundtrack at the dentist!!
