Woohoo Vidya James! I currently play games on my Nintendo Switch and computer (Linux). I also have a Wii U, 3DS, and Gameboy Color that I play with every now and then but they live in a shoebox most of the time.
Game Log
I have a terrible habit of starting games and not finishing them, so I think I'm going to have to add everything even if I don't finish it. Maybe I'll put a little sticker or something on the game to indicate that I beat the main storyline? We'll see.

This is an extremely delightful game omg. I've only played a couple of hours so far but I can easily spend all day playing around in my swamp. It appears really simple on the surface but there seems to be a really complex breeding mechanism under the hood. One of the goals of the game is to breed new species of frogs, and that includes breeding frogs with different genes and influencing their development during the tadpole stage with bugs with unique flavor profiles.
There also seems to be mysterious lore about this world that is uncovered as the game progresses...
My copy of Mudborne was included in the No ICE in Minnesota bundle on itch.io.

Rating System
For many years I would rate my books, shows, movies, etc. completely on vibes alone, until I saw a rating system, below, created by aromanticduck on Tumblr. All my media reviews on Yogo Magpie will use it because it's incredible and simple to use. I won't specify if it's spicy or bland tho
| Nothing really wrong with it | A few things wrong with it | So many things wrong with it | |
| Lots of awesome things | 5 stars | 4 stars (spicy) | 3 stars (spicy) |
| A few awesome things | 4 stars (bland) | 3 stars (mild) | 2 stars (spicy) |
| Nothing really awesome | 3 stars (bland) | 2 stars (bland) | 1 star |
The idea is that you rate the thing on how much stuff you loved and how much stuff you hated, and those things weigh against each other. There's only one way to get 5 stars or 1 star, so those should end up as the rarest ratings, with 3 stars being the most common.
'Spicy' means that the thing inspires emotion, whether positive or negative, while 'bland' means it doesn't affect you much either way.
An example of a 3-star (spicy)—for me personally—would be the Twilight series, beacuse there's plenty of garbage in there but also some things that are like crack to me. I can't think of an example of a 3-star (bland) because by nature they don't stick in the mind.
(This also assumes giving 0 stars isn't allowed. That'd throw it out of whack...)
