REVIEW: Bug Fables
The 2019 videogame—I know, a videogame, from a tabletop guy?—Bug Fables: the Everlasting Sapling first caught my attention because of it's open inspiration by one of my all-time favorite games: Paper Mario for the Nintendo 64.

REVIEW: Puss in Boots: The Last Wish
This review is spoiler-free. Despite having a cinephile as a close friend, I don't see a lot of movies in an actual theater.

2020 Reading List
During the 2019 holidays, I had a conversation with my sister about our reading habits. At this time I didn't feel like I read all that much. More than the average American, surely, but probably right around the "one book per month" goal she was considering.
