I did my best to not let my lurking paranoia get in the way of being happy during certain portions of the game but it was an ever present feeling. Even now, having finished the game, it is still there. The few times I forgot about it I found myself taking comfort in two women deeply in love, in the shit together.
If, like me, you’re planning to keep social distancing for the foreseeable future, maybe you should pick up video gaming for socialization and for fun!
Sweetly enough, it’s possible to have a shocking number of cute ass dates on Animal Crossing. I’m lucky to be quarantined with my girlfriend, but we’re running low on date opportunities.

“It’s not even about fanciness or property ownership as much as it’s about imagining if my house could just be clean right now? It’s a powerful drug, let me tell you.”
Merlin’s Beard, Jam City! Way to take all the magic out of Hogwarts!
The combat has a frenetic arcade-iness that makes me a little giddy even as I’m being chewed up by the robot dog that was for some reason built under the metallic skirts of the robot diva that was for some reason deemed an essential part of the robot invasion force.
Celeste sets out to climb a mountain and learns a whole lot about herself along the way.
“Traveling back in time to school days, and getting to confront one’s bully, hit me viscerally. I found myself going through the game over and over.”
Hi hello and welcome to springtime, when the weather has no predictable pattern and neither does my attention span. Here are some games I’ve picked up for five minutes or thirty minutes or maybe even an entire hour at a time lately.
These days, I constantly crave queer ass stories about queer ass characters. Luckily for us all, there are some incredible indie game creators who are here to give the people what we want: gays!
Friedhoff games always give players a space to vent rage without real-world consequences; Lost Wage Rampage is no exception, and whoo boy, do we got a lot of rage.
