All Hollow’s Eve: A Replay Retrospect of Hollow Knight
2025 has seen a long awaited sequel hit the market after a long seven year wait in Hollow Knight: Silksong, so of course I’m not playing it. Instead, for reasons unknowable even to me, I have decided to replay the original Hollow Knight and write about it for you, my dear would-be readers. Let’s take a look into [checks notes] 2017’s indie darling Hollow Knight from the perspective of someone who has yet to beat it even once but is playing through it a second time.
My Favorite Pokemon Types and What They Say About Me (Maybe)
We’ve been covering stuff from my life too much lately, so let’s turn right back to Pokemon and talk about some of my favorite Pokemon typings. For those who don’t know, Pokemon come in all kinds of flavors or types that dictate their weaknesses and strengths. Originally, there were just 15 different types in the original games, but we’ve picked up a few more here and there and now we’re up to a whopping 18.
We’ll dive a bit more into the history of the types to give some background, but the main focus for why we’re here today is to talk about favorites. When it comes to Pokemon, there are many different species to choose from. 1025, to be exact as of the writing of this sentence. So it can be a little overwhelming when it comes to choosing who is going to form your party.

I’m not sure if it needs to be said, but I am somewhat of a huge fan of the Pocket Monster (Pokemon if you’re normal) franchise and have been since its American debut in [checks notes] 1998. Now, I’m not a spend money on the franchises I like kind of person, so outside of the video game entries into the franchise, I have very little to show for all of my fandom. This is to say, what I do possess that reinforces my love of the franchise are things that I carry with me in my dumb little mostly empty head.
Disco Elysium is Probably the Best Detective Game of All Time into Infinity: A Writing Retrospective
From the first stirrings of atmosphere that we get from 2019’s Disco Elysium by ZA/UM, the world is shrouded in mystery. Two all but disembodied voices tally up sides of an upcoming conflict that will ultimately go unseen before one mentions the name of our protagonist, Harry. Not that we know that Harry is our protagonist. Not that we know anything much at all about the world of Disco Elysium.
Nintendo Switch 2: A, Uh, Forespect?: Preview Review
Nintendo Switch 2 is a console that many industry insiders knew was coming months in advance. I am not an insider of any industry, so my preview of this forthcoming console is happening today (4.2.2025) and will most likely be completed the day after. (Note: It is now 4.4.2025). This is what it means to be an uncommitted writer.
