Welcome to my blog!

Here you will find a detailed summary of the general content you will find on this blog and what’s to come. With also a brief explanation of my inspirations and aspirations.

Hi, I’m Rainy, this is page is more or less like an About This Blog page, it contains detailed info on whatever you may need to know about it.

What do I cover on this blog?

• Most often obscure games, or just lesser known games on otherwise popular series, generally old ones too (at least initially), as it’s what’s available to me (up until the DS). Stuff I don’t see people talking about too often, like arcade games, niche games, anything that gets less coverage than usual.
  
• Essays, these will generally not be about only niche games, but rather the rare exceptions where I will talk about something more popular, it’s mostly discussing on broader gaming and series as a whole, as opposed to specific games.
  As well as my feelings on particular trends in gaming.

I try to keep a positive and light-hearted touch on my stuff, regardless of the subject, as I believe there’s already too much negativity out there. I will mention things I don’t like, sure, but it will never be scathing “hot takes” meant to blindly bash anything. Basically, I will try to avoid shallow angry reviews or anything with a condescending tone that you see across the internet. On a similar note, there will be no toning down of my feelings towards sacred cows, if I don’t like a game or an aspect of it, I will point that out.
But I won’t be negative just for the sake of it, and will be respectful as much as possible.

My inspirations for making these are mainly ShayMay, The Geek Critique and HardcoreGaming101.

While their style is different from each other, and you will hardly find anything that professional on this blog, their influence is still undeniable, in general the rather calm and sober tone, with a bit of fun thrown in the middle sometimes. That’s pretty much what I’m aiming for on my blog.

I do not use rating systems for the reviews I write, I don’t believe that numbers exactly convey the feelings a game gave me while playing it and it may or may not even distract some people from the review itself, at most there will be a summary of the ups and highs of whatever I’m talking about, the idea is more to get people interested on each game, while dissecting aspects of it in a rather brief manner.
