Nephise Begins

March 11, 2023 | Reading time: ~1 minute

Nephise Begins is a walking simulator, and not a great one. Like all walking simulators, there's not much gameplay here. However, Nephise Begins al doesn't have much of a story to carry it along and that makes it not worth playing.

More Thoughts on Hands of the Emperor

December 27, 2022 | Reading time: ~1 minute

I'm about halfway done this book and still loving it. The characters on display here are some of the most deeply human I've ever read. The Emperor's deepening friendship with Cliopher and the rest of the crew is charming and realistic. None of us are Emperors of entire worlds

F1 (2025) review

August 31, 2025 | Reading time: ~1 minute

I'm a huge fan of F1, and with this movie getting pretty good reviews I was excited to give it a watch. I enjoyed my time with it, but I think true F1 fans will be a bit disappointed.

Yakuza: Like a Dragon

August 20, 2025 | Reading time: ~1 minute

Yakuza: Like a Dragon is the 8th mainline entry in the long-running Yakuza series, of which I've played 0-6 and a couple of the spin-offs.

Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon

I gave Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon a try with it being on a deep sale. I'm really bad at Tetris-like and match 3 games, and at its core that's what this one is.

A nice novella that fills in some backstory for a few characters that weren't very fleshed out in the main series.

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
