    Digseum

    I beat this game in three hours. (Across like, two or three sessions.) It was amusing and I really liked unlocking objects, watching things get weirder and weirder… I like silly little games like this with upgrade trees. It’s not really very engaging, but it ramps up quickly if you know how to distribute your

    I’m Not Meat Vol. 1-3

    Harem Scale H: Kunio does the bare minimum of heroism; he’s generally the victim here. A: This dude has terrible luck and is the prey of a bunch of carnivores. R: He’s in love, though, he legit falls in love. E: Maybe I should have put a 5 for ecchi. It’s JUST short of hentai.

Welcome to the Menagerie.

Here is where M logs their media activity. Partly because Goodreads is forgettable and keeping physical logs is harder. Sometimes M writes a lot. Sometimes M doesn’t write enough. It doesn’t matter. This is just a for-fun little blog so that M can remember what they thought about whatever they watched or read or played or. Whatever.


What is M?

I read. Voraciously. I have subscriptions to those book things on digital retailers. I consume books at nearly all hours. The hours I don’t spend reading? I’m writing. I’m drawing. I have a problem. I have a problem in that I love to read things that are in the same vein repeatedly. Book journals don’t work and as much as I text my friends screenshots of book passages, it doesn’t scratch the itch. Now I’m going to be doing… tiny… tiny book reports.
