The Holdovers (2023) review

December 15, 2025 | Reading time: ~1 minute

The Holdovers is a heartwarming movie that does the "found family" trope really well. Paul Giamatti shines as an intelligent, aloof career teacher, and Dominic Sessa plays the role of the depresed intelligent teenager well. Da'Vine Randolph is excellent.

December 12, 2025 | Reading time: ~1 minute

LEGO Horizon Adventures is a Lego-fied soft remake of the original Horizon Zero Dawn game. I've only played a bit of that game (it's still in my backlog) but seeing as this game was a PS Plus freebie and I have a soft spot for the Lego games, I decided to give this one a try.

The God King's Legacy review

December 10, 2025 | Reading time: ~1 minute

The God King's Legacy is a collection of two novellas set in the same low-fantasy world. These stories are flintlock fantasy, where gunpowder and muskets feature heavily. It's a subgenre of fantasy I enjoy, with all the trappings of traditional fantasy but with a bit of modern flair.

About

My name's Mike, and this is the Lore Depository - my spot online where I can write out my thoughts on games, books, tech, movies, and anything else I find interesting.

My biggest project is my Game Library Project. I have a ton of games collected throughout the years, and have barely played any of them. Check out the linked post to learn more about the project, and click here to be taken to the category page where you can see all my posts for the project.

Another project I'm working on is my Pokemon Living Dex Challenge, where I try to obtain one of each available Pokemon and transfer them into Pokemon Home.

Other content comes mainly in 3 forms:
• Reviews, where I post longer-form writeups
• Thoughts, short & quick first impressions posts
• Guides, detailed how-tos and walkthroughs
