Welcome to Get Your Game On! I finally gave in and bought Pathologic 2 after watching a very long video essay way too many times, and I’m having a great time suffering. And speaking of suffering, it’s been a rough few weeks for Square Enix: (more…)

Hello, and welcome to the first GYGO of 2023! My name is December and I have indeed played nothing but Harvestella since it came out.
