videogame diaries


   

Having played video games for as long as I can remember, they've shaped my sense of self and how I experience time, memory, and affection.

The videogame diaries were created back in 2017 as a collection of reviews and play logs documenting the games I played. They were originally written on Evernote then shared to the eponymous (and since closed) Twitter account.

Eventually, the VGD pages were migrated to Notion.


Though my original texts have unfortunately been irretrievably lost, the project has outlived those platforms.

Today, it continues as a catalog of my collection and archive of games played.


The Yearly Listing is only available on Google Sheets.

Legacy Game Archive (1995–2016)
