So, Nextfest has again come and gone. I went a LITTLE crazy (as usual) and played as many games as I possibly could. To add to that, I even took notes and wrote tiny reviews on each game. The numbers in front of the game is in what order I played them in, and I left them there in case you were curious. My scoring system was 1-5 stars with the possibility of both getting a bonus star, getting no star at all.. or not even being rated for whatever reason. However, not being rated doesn't necessarily make it a bad game, so don't just stop reading when you get past the three star games. In fact, one of the Non-Rated games is one I most definitely plan to buy - and is where I got the screenshot for this post's featured image. Also, I managed to power through over 100 games in the space of 7 days... so there were quite clearly some games I just didn't have time to get to. I listed those at the bottom of the page.

On December 1, I was diagnosed with kidney stones and a tumor, leading to surgeries on December 11 and March 13, respectively. I'm recovering with some pain and expect to resume my YouTube series and streaming by April 1st. I'm also updating my challenge rules and have closed the spam-plagued forums, directing users to Discord instead.

Welcome to the new site, I officially have set up a redirect on my old site. Be aware that the menus have changed fairly drastically, and many of your favorite links (i.e. the challenges) have had their links greatly shortened. Hopefully, this isn't a terrible problem for everyone, because it's a change I've been wanting […]

Yes, there's a little blurb about me at the bottom of every page of this website. No, I don't NEED to put this page up, but I will anyway. I won't go into my history with games on this particular page, because I have pages devoted to that - so if that's what you're interested […]

Do I play things other than Sims? Heck yeah. I play a little bit of everything. Except scary games. Those, I'm not interested in. However, right now my brain is mush from all the website work... so I'll come back and write this page later after I take a break from website work and get […]

Day One: Fantasy, Plot: A woman awakes in the early morning to see her shadow sneaking out the bedroom door. She follows. (To Continue the story: The woman sees her shadow holding hands with another unattached shadow. What happens next?) Lainey sat up, feeling a shiver go through her body. Had she left the window […]

I've been a creative writer pretty much ever since I could write. And a storyteller even before that. Instead of dressing up my My Little Ponies, I made them trophies and ribbons and made up stories of grand champion jumpers. In school, I spent as much time writing or creating worlds of my own as […]

I'm going to do some copy and paste here, because I posted some very nice editorials/reviews about the different sims games during my 2022 "Thrall's Game Awards" season. Some things will be new, because there's more than just four Sims games that I have history with. But we'll start with the basics. The Sims is […]
