Software engineer, ace/aro, any/all pronouns. I'm into all kinds of media (especially indie games and anime), media criticism/analysis, and politics.



Here's my actual 25 games chart, sorted alphabetically. I tried to avoid overlap where possible, so I actually originally had The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles and 999 on here but I already had a Shu Takumi / Capcom game and a Spike Chunsoft death game VN so I swapped them out for Rayman Legends and Counterfeit Monkey.
