Grindstone

July 6, 2025 | Reading time: ~1 minute

Grindstone is a neat match 3 game with a cool chaining mechanics. It's simple level-based fun, sort of like Candy Crush with some very light RPG mechanics.

Pokemon Emerald Seaglass

March 19, 2025 | Reading time: ~1 minute

Pokemon Emerald Seaglass is a romhack of Pokemon Emerald, changing up the artstyle and adding a bunch of quality of life features. I don't normally play many romhacks, but it's been a long time since I've played generation 3, and I've got a bit of a quest going to play each generation (I played...

The White Ship review

November 9, 2024 | Reading time: ~1 minute

The White Ship is a short, very readable overview of the lives of the kings of England the Conqueror through the ascension of Henry II, with the largest focus on Henry I. While the title implies a focus on the White Ship disaster (and it does cover that event), it's largely a biography of Henry I.

Ampu-Tea is a Surgeon Simulator copy focused on making tea. I've never liked these games, and while it was probably more of a novelty 10 years ago, it just feels lame now.

Thoughts on the Final Fantasy 16 Demo

June 13, 2023 | Reading time: ~1 minute

I've never been the biggest fan of Final Fantasy. The peak of the series happened before I was really a gamer, and later entries haven't interested. I'm excited to go back and play the earlier games with the Pixel Remaster, but for now I think I'm going to dive into FF16.

Thoughts on the Diablo IV Open Beta

Diablo IV is running an open beta this weekend, and as a fan of the genre and someone who like Diablo 3, I gave it a shot. I'm playing a lightning sorcerer, and while the game is fun I really don't see where the massive amount of hype is warranted.

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
