Previously a podcast, and now a blog! If you are interested in my play-journey up to this point, you can check out Your Friend Who Likes Games on Spotify and YouTube. Spotify especially, as it hosts a collection of games played and experiences documented in audio form from 2024 – 2026.
The goal of this blog is to document valued gaming experiences, and connect with friends who like games! Thank you for being here :)
