BioShock Review
Last weekend, I finished BioShock. Immediately after finishing BioShock, I installed BioShock 2, and I will play through BioShock Infinite after that. While this is going to be a review, it's going to be difficult to write an unbiased review. BioShock is a game that got me into…
The Princess Bride Cosplay Reflection
While I mentioned how I'm taking a break from conventions and cosplay, I'm using this time wisely. I have created a list of characters I'd love to cosplay, and I'm coming up with a few goals for things I want to accomplish with cosplay in the future. I have…
I Finished My TBR
I finally finished my TBR. At this current moment, both my Goodreads and Storygraph Want to Read and To-Read Shelves list 0 books. This has been a long time coming. It was a few years ago that I decided to commit to and read every book on these shelves. I even went so far as to…
Taking a Break From Conventions & Cosplay
For the first time ever, this year might be the first year I don't attend a single convention. I had to question if that was true, but even in 2020, I still went to C2E2 before the entire world shut down. In 2021, I went to Planet Comic Con, so even with a…
We Who Will Die by Stacia Stark
Screenshot taken from my Kindle I didn't realize this, but you can rent e-books from the library through Libby and read them on your Kindle. That's so slick! I was exclusively listening to audiobooks on Libby and didn't realize that renting e-books was an option. To…
Cozy Gaming, Recipes, and Crafts – Cozy Companion Magazine
When was the last time you read a magazine? I asked myself this same question, and I genuinely can't remember. I used to read Seventeen and Teen Vogue when I was younger, and then transitioned to Cosmopolitan. I haven't had a true magazine…
From professional workshops and conferences to fan conventions and grown-up book fairs, we have the 2026 events for Minnesota book geeks to put on their calendars. #TwinCitiesGeeks twincitiesgeek.com/2026/02/minn...
Thin-Blood Vampire Live Play – Private Nightmares
I have talked about Private Nightmares in various blog posts, but I haven't dedicated an entire post to talking about this live play. It's about time I write about Private Nightmares because it's one of my favorite TTRPG live plays I have watched.…
Love At First Sighting by Mallory Marlowe
I read Mallory Marlowe's first book, Love and Other Conspiracies, last year, and I loved it. I like how her books are standalone, meaning you don't necessarily need to read the first book to understand the others. There will be small references here and…
I have your Vampire chronicle Playlists saved on YouTube but haven't gotten to them yet! With that said, I'll probably check out the other systems
The Future of White Wolf – What I’d Like to See from World Of Darkness
I came across an article in which Paradox, the company aiding in the release of Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines 2, reported lower profits due to Bloodlines 2 not performing well. I finished Bloodlines 2, and I don't feel at…
Putting The Whispering Willow to Rest – Vagrant Song
I bought Vagrant Song at Gen Con in 2023. I was drawn to the game originally because of the art, which reminds me of the game Cuphead. I liked how this game is cooperative, and that there are several different scenarios to play. I get the most…
Animal Crossing Hotel Update
Last month, Animal Crossing: New Horizons released its new update. The main addition was adding the hotel, which sits on the ocean alongside the pier. With the hotel, players can now decorate hotel rooms and see different villagers visiting their island. The update has…
Open letter to our Senators:
Gentlemen, Ladies, we don't really care about ICE not getting even more funding. We don't care about more "training" and more rules they won't follow.
We want ICE de-funded. Dismantled. Gone. Driven out of our cities.
The Songbird & the Heart of Stone by Carissa Broadbent
The Songbird & the Heart of Stone by Carissa Broadbent is the third book in the Crown of Nyaxia series. What's interesting is that each portion of the series is categorized on Goodreads as a duet, meaning two books complete that story. Each…
BioShock and Replaying Video Games
In my bedroom, there's a tall white shelf. On the shelf are all my favorite video games from all different consoles. These are games I loved or games that mean a lot to me. I didn't realize this, but my husband told me that the Xbox Series X can play Xbox 360…
Will Storygraph become an Alternative to Goodreads?
I have been using Goodreads for a long time. It's been an excellent way for me to track my reading, set goals, and write reviews on the books I have read. With that said, Goodreads is owned by Amazon, and there has been a lot of discussion about…
ICE out of MN: A Day of Truth & Freedom. No work. No school. No shopping. January 23. March in downtown Minneapolis at 2PM.
With other businesses and workers throughout the state, I’m participating in today’s general strike to protest the ongoing ICE occupation of Minnesota: no work, no school, no shopping.
(1/5)
This took less than five minutes to fill out, let's keep this moving!
Somebody on our enormous #TwinCitiesGeeks Facebook group pointed out how the group spontaneously switched to "Rebellion mode" as if the 30,000+ members had been watching Star Wars their entire lives.
Well, yeah.
I love how cozy this TTRPG sounds
Nancy Drew: The Phantom of Venice
Steam had a major sale for their event called Steam Detective Fest. All detective, noir, or puzzle games were on sale. I played several game demos, and oddly enough, the demo I liked the most wasn't a detective game at all. As I browsed through their sale, I saw…
What worries me with ice is that the public has no way of knowing if they are really ice. They have unmarked vehicles, wear masks, show no warrants or legal paperwork, no identification, and appear very unprofessional and violent. Anyone could be impersonating ice to terrorize our communities.
Killman Creek by Rachel Caine
CW: Torture, Rape, Dark Web, Snuff Films, Animal Cruelty (The dog does not die!) Spoilers for Killman Creek below I recently finished reading Killman Creek by Rachel Caine. This is the second book in the Stillhouse Lake series. I went into reading this book expecting…
Vikings vs. Packers
The Minnesota Vikings are not in the playoffs this year. As a result, the last few Vikings games of the season had cheaper ticket prices. My husband had seen a news clip advertising that Vikings tickets were cheaper. One of the last games of the season was the Vikings playing…
Pop Culture New Year’s Resolutions – 2026
Happy New Year! Every year, I like to make New Year's Resolutions that are specifically centered around my hobbies. I think it makes setting New Year's Resolutions more fun. This is my fifth consecutive post where I have set resolutions for the year. With…
Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.
Kristi Noem called the incident an act of domestic terrorism…She is right. ICE has become the most prolific terrorist organization on U.S. soil, and our citizens are being murdered as a result. #ice #dontbelievethehype #noimminentdanger
