It should come as so surprise to anyone to hear that I'm a big fan of the Final Fantasy series. Though I haven't yet played all the mainline games -- to say nothing of all the spin-offs -- I still consider myself enough of a fan for World of Final Fantasy to have caught my... Continue Reading →
The Way I Play Games Has Fundamentally Changed
The way I play games has fundamentally changed, and I’m not sure I’m happy about that. I started thinking about this after reading the InnerSpiral article, Broke and Plugged In, in which they talked about their childhood experiences with video games, not being able to afford a plethora of new games and so learning to...

I’m Packing Up, I’m Packing In [Moving Houses]
Packing up to move can be an absolute nightmare. It's exhausting, it's expensive, and somehow you always end up discovering far more stuff than you remember having to begin with. How are you going to fit all these things into boxes? How are you going to fit all the boxes into a moving van? It... Continue Reading →
Breaking the Unfinished Cycle
The other day, I finally beat Suikoden. This might not sound like a big deal. After all, the remasters only released recently, so it's not that grand a statement to say that I beat it. A lot of people just recently beat it. But the thing is, I first played Suikoden back in the 1990s,... Continue Reading →
Diversity is a Puzzle [Preserve]
Sometimes, at the end of a long day, we all just need a chance to unwind with a few simple puzzles and a chill vibe that promotes a deeper understanding of ecology and biodiversity. Too specific? Well, maybe it's just me who needs that. Good thing that's exactly what Preserve delivers! PreserveGenre(s) - Casual, puzzle,... Continue Reading →
Unironically Fun [Barn Finders]
I'd seen enough of other people playing Barn Finders to know that chances were high I'd enjoy the game myself. Going around, exploring abandoned locations for things to salvage and resell; it seemed like a good time, similar to games like House Flipper and Powerwash Simulator. Little did I know how apt a comparison to... Continue Reading →
Among Millions of Human Vermin, You Have Proven to be the Strongest [Nexomon]
I first played and reviewed Nexomon Extinction back in 2022, at the recommendation of a friend who suggested that if I liked Pokemon but wanted to see a darker take on the formula, then I might like Nexomon Extinction too. And I did. I absolutely loved the game! So much so that I quickly went... Continue Reading →
Madness, Mayhem, and Mind-Melting Visuals [LSD Dream Emulator]
If you somehow missed LSD Dream Emulator's heyday on Youtube about a decade ago, I don't know whether to say you're lucky or you really missed out. It's a game known for its trippy visuals that made for great reaction content back in the day, and it felt like everybody who had a gaming channel... Continue Reading →
The Beginning of a New Story [Digimon World DS]
People who followed me on Xitter (and now over on Bluesky) might have encountered my love of the Digimon franchise in the past. I loved the anime when I was younger, and still enjoy it a lot now, but my primary love lies with many of the Digimon video games, especially the RPGs. While I... Continue Reading →
Simple and Clean [Spilled!]
It seems that this week, short-and-sweet is the name of the game here at Quadnines, as today I'm taking a look at a delightful little indie game called Spilled!, which delivers a relaxing experience with a powerful environmental message. Spilled!Genre(s) - indie game, simulationOriginal release date - Mar 26, 2025Available on - PCPlayed on -... Continue Reading →
