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
