What's New

I'm back on track with the penultimate installment of my Yu Yu Hakusho retrospective, where everything in the story starts falling apart for real!

I told myself that I couldn't read all of Yu-Gi-Oh until I finish the retrospective, so hopefully you'll see the conclusion before too long! I think it's working as far as motivation goes.

I recently wore a pretty Pokémon necklace out to an event, but nobody noticed it. Seriously, no one notices a shiny rainbow hanging from my neck? Bwahhh!

Nearly two weeks away...so sad! Well, I have made some good progress on my next game demo, but sometimes that delays the writing...

The big news this week, of course, was the Nintendo Switch 2 reveal that captivated the world. I have a lot of mixed feelings about it, myself, and just where I'm at with video games in general. It's a brief little bummer of a post, but I hope someone sees a little bit of how they might be feeling in there.

Rotation is soon for the Pokémon TCG. I think I'm all in on Feraligatr, it's a super fun deck to play, but I've got a wall deck in my back pocket just in case. They both have Milotic ex, and I didn't buy extras. Oops...

Last week, I started playing Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel again, which somehow produced a new article from me about how digital TCGs have a lot of pain points that conflict with the sort of fantasy that exists around card games. This one is totally ramble mode...I hope you like it though! I have fun putting these together and just letting the writing come out.

As I'm writing this, they just revealed the Venom trailer for Guilty Gear Strive! He looks pretty awesome, not that I expected anything else. I'm pretty shocked to see Robo-Ky though! He's not my favorite character, but not so much so that I'm not happy to see him in some form. They're also fixing the god awful tower mode and putting a normal ranked mode. That's awesome! Thanks! I always play this game in spurts, so I think when that and Unika come out, I'll give it a whirl again.

I'm back with some more Transformers write-ups! Beast Machines was a wild ride, and an extremely enjoyable one at that.

Speaking of Transformers, I had a really shameful run on eBay where I won three auctions, assuming I wouldn't. Well, I get a bunch of cool toys, but I don't like to be a regular spender like that. I'm putting it on the site to humble myself. But maybe I'll review a toy or two? You probably saw Tigerhawk and Leo Convoy on my Bluesky. Tigerhawk is probably my favorite Transformer I've ever had, I think he looks super awesome in Beast Mode especially.

The Looney Tunes movie finally came out in the United States. I want to go see it, but I don't want to go alone. I'd feel bad if I didn't support the movie though!

Lastly, I haven't gone to play Pokémon TCG in a little while, mostly because of my transition. I'm planning to come back to regular play after the 2025 rotation though. So long, PokéStop!

I really missed you guys! So badly, that I stayed up all night to try and get the next post ready for you. It kept growing, but I've got a special special behind the scenes look at Deer Clicker for you! It covers a lot of what makes Deer Clicker tick. The response to the game has absolutely delighted me. Game development is amazing. Programming is also amazing, wouldn't you say?

I deeriously need to sleep, so...love y'all!

It's a special update I can hide no longer! You can now play AN ORIGINAL GAME CODED BY ME on this very website! Enter the micro-game Deer Clicker! And it DOES work on your mobile device, though it's prettiest on desktop.

Working on my first web game is something I'm so proud of, I learned so much, and I just think it's super cool to have even a simple game here on the site. Of course, I only did the programming and not the art and sound, be aware of that! I wish I made a deer sprite that good looking. I may write more about this game's production and what I learned as its own article. For now though, I can't help but want to share it. And maybe we'll do a second web game, who knows!

Oh, and Happy Valentine's Day! ♥

Hi again! The last part of my Beast Wars review is here! I didn't have quite as much to say this time, but I didn't stick with my original plan to have Season 2 and 3 be one post. Heheh. Anyway, I'm happy to have that wrapped up. I have to tell you that Beast Machines is absolutely wild, and that simply has to get talked about at some point after I finish it.

I'm working on something special for the site that has never been on it before. It should be out in some form this month, but that's all I want to say until more is ready. Thank you all!

I got sick as hell last night, eugh! Which impacted my plans to bring you this article today, but I managed to power through. Beast Wars, Season Two gets my overview treatment! Now, I've gotta lie down...ough, my achin' head, as Rattrap might say.

I keep writing 2026 on all my dates. It's because I'm so far ahead in the mind wars... Not really. My obsession right now is Transformers, you can find out what's going on with that in my new Beast Wars review. This part is about just season one, and I lay out everything with the characters and some of the story. I'll be doing season two and three as well. I'm watching Beast Machines as we speak, and honestly, the way it's going I'll just have to write about that too. Hooray, more multi-part articles for me! Haha... 💦

I have a mini article today! I thought I had missed my weekly date by a lot, but it's actually only been five days...hm. I got really sick yesterday, so now my whole sense of weekend is messed up. Thankfully, I'm a lot better now. So much that I did my first HRT shot today! I'm really happy about that. Oh, yes, today I bring a new installment of Life Advice, where I offer a few of my thoughts and strategies on the difficulty of getting started. I linked to an actual psychologist's work, so even if I'm useless, hopefully I've pointed you in the right direction. Regardless, I believe in you! Good luck with whatever you're working on this weekend!

Now, I'm going to employ a strategy that works for me, but probably shouldn't be encouraged. A little treat for updating the site. Hehehe...come to Jane, little ice cream.

I'm back! Work and my transition have kept me busy, but I've been a very happy girl! At last, the the Yu Yu Hakusho retrospective continues! I guess it'll be an eight part series if we do Three Kings as two parts, which feels pretty great!

I'm almost ready to start HRT...I actually have the medicine with me, but I'm waiting on supplies in the mail. It was all really cheap and I'm super excited! Plume has been great for me, if anyone was wondering what I've been using.

This is unimportant, but last night Dr. Mario 64 was reintroduced back into the Saturday night game rotation with friends. I love that game! It's a real gem if you have some friends and like puzzle games. It's much less complex than Puyo Puyo, which I love but have remained a beginner for years.

Happy New Deer everyone! Feliz 2008! I've got a fresh new mini article for you all, about my own transition and World of Warcraft. There are some cute personal tidbits about me in here, and also I yap about Classic vs Retail. I'm really hungry, so I'm gonna post this and grab some lunch. We will link up again soon!
