Hey all, welcome to GYGO! I’m Kael, that person that always says they’re gonna start streaming more, but never finds the time. Since my last turn on GYGO I’ve officially joined the cult of Hollow Knight, which is no surprise. I’ve always loved cute insects and atmospheric platformers. I’ve also started gamifying my Japanese studies, which really just means I use an app that gives me a satisfying chime when I answer a question right. Say what you want, I’ve only skipped three days this past month.
Anyway, here’s the news.
