Nightline

The Winged Histories review

November 4, 2023 | Reading time: ~1 minute

The Winged Histories is a difficult book to review. Much like A Stranger in Olondria, it's full of gorgeous, dense prose. Prose that can often be too dense, and often led to me losing interest and nodding off.

Thoughts on the Retroid Flip

November 4, 2023 | Reading time: 3 minutes

Dedicated Android gaming devices have exploded in popularity the last few years. I've never been too interested in them, preferring to do most of my emulation and gaming on PC. But lately I've been finding myself not wanting to play any older retro or handheld games, and I think it's because...

Guardians of the Galaxy review

November 4, 2023 | Reading time: 2 minutes

Guardians of the Galaxy is a solid third person action game. It retains a lot of the humor from the Marvel movies without becoming too overbearing.

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.

Yet another project I'm working on is my Old School RuneScape "Completionist" Quest, where I'm attempting to max out all skills and see everything the game has to offer as a completely new player.

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