Game Talk: Ember
Ember is a gorgeous indie RPG in the vein of classic RPGs such as Baldur’s Gate as well as action RPGs such as Diablo. This game is utterly gorgeous to look at. The environments are detailed, vibrant and lush. They’re (obviously) not up to modern AAA standard, but they’re charming, engaging and immersive. That said, […]

Certain party games easily lead to a lot of chatter between participants and others… really don’t. 20 Questions, for example, isn’t great if you want to practice vocabulary. One of […]

Book Talk: Not Otherwise Specified
CW: eating disorder, bullying, bimisia (called out) Not Otherwise Specified has been on my wishlist specifically because it features a bisexual dancer and it sounded really cool. I adored Etta. I loved the balance between her confidence and her insecurities. First person narration rarely works for me when handled the way it is in this […]
