It has been years since I’ve played a game that consumed all my waking thoughts like Baldur’s Gate 3 has. As of this writing, Jeff and I are currently wrapping up Act 2 (as always, I will spoil absolutely nothing). The story has both of us hooked and I am in love with all of…

Baldur’s Gate 3: Okta’s Gruel
I’ve been looking forward to playing Baldur’s Gate 3 since they announced it in 2019. I will admit I’ve never played any of the other entries to the series, but when I heard Larian was going to be working on it, I was excited. Divinity Original Sin 2 is one of my top 3 games…
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom – Hylian Tomato Pizza
Like many of you, I have been playing a lot of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. I have been really enjoying both my time playing and watching Jeff when he plays. It is a game that we’ve both been excited to play so we take turns on our own saves progressing through…
Like A Dragon: Ishin! – Hanamura Box
Like A Dragon: Ishin has finally been released in the West and I am still in shock that I was able to play through this game. I’ve been waiting to get my hands on this game since the original was announced in 2014. I’ve had a Japanese copy of the game for some time now…
NEO: The World Ends With You: Chocolate Chunk Scones
It’s hard to go into much detail about NEO: The World Ends with You without going into spoiler territory, but the game is worth a try if you haven’t picked it up yet. I’d suggest it’s even more worthwhile if you played the previous game, but it isn’t required to understand what is going on….
Harvestella: Chilled Tomato Pasta
Harvestella is a farming RPG that was released last year. I played through the demo and enjoyed myself, but haven’t picked up the full game. At the time, I was looking for a game that focused a bit more on the farming and relationship aspects rather than the combat. Based on the demo, it felt…
A Look Back At 2022
As I look back on the past year, I’m reminded just how unique it was for me. This was my first full year working on cookbooks full time. It was honestly one of the best choices I’ve made for myself. I actually have free weekends and I’ve been steadily improving my photography skills by devoting…
Animal Crossing: Spaghetti Napolitan
Animal Crossing is the ultimate sit back and chill game. It has been a long while since I’ve last played, but I do look back fondly on all the time I spent with my fellow island dwellers. I really should go back to the game because right now is the season of bugs and fish…
Tales of Arise: Sandwich
Jeff and I recently finished our playthrough of Tales of Arise, just in time for the 1 year anniversary of the game’s release. Overall, I thought the game was fine, not one of my favorites of the series for sure. I do think the lack of multiplayer contributes to that. After watching Jeff play through…
Guild Wars 2: Strawberries & Biscuits
What is time? 10 years ago, I started my adventures off in Tyria with the launch of Guild Wars 2. I remember that first week of playing with my friends and trying to make our way through the story. I started off as a hunter but quickly shuffled to guardian which is when I fell…
