September has been a weird month. School has started again, so work has been busy. I just haven’t really felt up to writing anything, but I don’t usually let that get in the way of doing at least this post. However, things have just… Continue Reading “New to Me – August 2022”

July was a good month. When you have the entire month of July off of work as vacation, it’s a glorious month! It was sadly not a month for writing, which I apologize for to anybody who’s been anxiously awaiting the chance to read… Continue Reading “New to Me – July 2022”

June 2022 was a weird month. For the most part, things are going ok, especially compared to last year. But there are so many bad things going on the world that it’s still really stressful. Plus, I’m on vacation the entire month of July… Continue Reading “New to Me – June 2022”

Wow, this is really late. I think the 25th of the month is the latest I’ve ever posted a “new to me games” post, but April has been a bad month. I started the month in a bit of a funk, as I’m prone… Continue Reading “New to Me – March 2022”

It’s that three of the seven entries on this list are from Alderac Entertainment… Continue Reading “New to Me – November 2021”
