Games
I don't game often enough to justify owning a console, so these are all on PC (available through itch.io or steam). I tend towards exploration and puzzle games although I'll also play more story-driven games as long as there's enough poking around to do.
I also have a list of my favourite browser games over on the links tab
- Outer Wilds - Space exploration/adventure
- Super Auto Pets - Autobattler with cute animals (also, this one's free)
- Where Cards Fall - Puzzle game with story elements
- Oneshot - Exploration with meta elements
- Anodyne - Zelda-like dungeon craw
- WitchWay - Puzzle game
- Corinne Cross' Dead and Breakfast - VN with ghosts
- Night in the Woods - VN with platforming elements, autumn vibes
- A Short Hike - Short exploration game
TV
I am awful at watching TV series because I keep starting series with multiple seasons, burning out then restarting them months later. The most reliable way for me to finish a series is to watch with someone else, which is why this list is half live action sci-fi/action (my dad) and half anime (my friends)
- Over the Garden Wall
- A League of their Own (2022)
- Star Trek (TOS and TNG, so far)
- My Hero Academia
- Revolutionary Girl Utena
- Mo Dao Zu Shi
- Dennou Coil
- The X Files
- Leverage & Leverage : Redemption
- Firefly
