Red formerly ran The Well-Red Mage and now serves The Pixels as founder, writer, editor, streamer, and podcaster. He has undertaken a seemingly endless crusade to talk about the games themselves in the midst of a culture obsessed with the latest controversy, scandal, and news cycle about harassment, toxicity, and negativity. Pick out his feathered cap on Twitter @thewellredmage, on Twitch at /thewellredmage, or Mage Cast.
I was honestly very impressed with Stray. The eclectic world building and optional flavor bits players could choose to engage with to learn more about eh characters and the world, and the way the ending could tug at you so hard without a protagonist that could effectively speak an understandable word for themselves… Honestly very impressive storytelling all around.
