Unless it’s Super Mario Party, I tend to have all the luck when it comes to playing games. I often slide by with a win against my sister because I get lucky with something. However, when it comes to finding shiny Pokemon naturally, I have none of that luck. Kris has it all. When we […]

Animal Crossing’s Longevity
I’m totally copying what Kris wrote yesterday. If you haven’t read her post about Stardew Valley’s Longevity, go ahead and do so right now. I’ll be here when you get back. It’s no secret that between Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing, Kris would pick the former and I would choose the latter. So, when I […]
Two Can’t-Wait-To-Play Indie Games
Last week, I talked about a couple of my favorite indie games (so far) that I’ve played on the Nintendo Switch. There are still so many games that are on my backlog, indie or not. I’ve even been scrolling through the games that are on sale on the Nintendo eShop just to explore new things. […]
Self-Care Tips from Mario
At some point last year, we thought it was appropriate to do a post about self-care tips that we can learn from the character Link of the Legend of Zelda series. It was a fun post to do, something we thought our readers would appreciate as well as help our mental states with everything […]
Top Indie Games I’ve Played (So Far)
The Nintendo Switch turned four-years-old this month, can you believe it? There have been a ton of awesome games, but most notably, there have been plenty of indie games. I had played indie games here and there before the Nintendo Switch, but I have to admit that I’ve branched out into different games and new […]

Tomorrow is Mar10 Day! How are You Celebrating?
Happy almost Mar10 Day! It’s a day that I tend to forget about until the actual day arrives. I’ve always enjoyed the pun of Mar10 Day but I’ll be honest, I’ve never been too in tune with it. I’m far more interested in Pokemon Day. This isn’t to say I don’t like Mario, of course, […]
Pokemon Presents and Our Thoughts on the Future
On Friday, February 26, 2021, one day before Pokemon Day, we finally got some news from the Pokemon Company about some new things happening in the Pokemon world. The roughly 20-minute direct was less than I expected, but I was happy with the announcements. And I say I expected more because I thought they […]
Pokemon of the Day
Does anyone remember when generation five of Pokemon, the Unova region, came out? I do. Kris and I laid in our beds, turned on the games in unison, and were totally baffled at the graphics. We enjoyed the music, though it was totally awesome that the Pokemon moved during battles, and we thought it was […]
Playing Games with the Children
I was always “player two” growing up. Kris had the controls and I grew up watching her play various games such as Super Mario RPG any game from The Legend of Zelda series. When I was finally able to join her in these games, I was “player two” or the “sidekick.” When something was hard, […]
