welcome to smudgebap.com!

my name is riley. i'm a "bunnytuber" studying videogames endlessly and relentlessly.

this site is home to all my writing, video work and creative outlets. here you can find exclusive reviews & blog posts, as well as links to my game work on itch.io. if you enjoy what i do at all, i highly recommend donating to my ko-fi or patreon, or you can simply leave a comment on my neocities profile to let me know what you think!

here's a photo of me at some 1990s computer expo. i don't know how i got here. i wasn't even alive in the 90s.
