Four More Years

An Open Letter to All, but with my Conservative friends in mind, in response to the results of the 2024 Presidential Election. I’m afraid I’m not stuck in here with you… but you’re stuck in here with Me. Continue reading Four More Years

Star Ocean: The Second Story R - Introduction to Spending Skill Points and (Super) Specialties

My introductory insights to the Skill system of Star Ocean: The Second Story R.

          My favorite entry in the Star Ocean series is now available on modern consoles. Some changes have made it easier than the original by far. But even with that ease, engaging with the interconnected systems that make it so can be daunting. Haphazardly spending Skill Points and Battle Points is hard to do, but if you’re like me you just want the most efficient path, and I am here to add my…

Quick Take on Manderville Weapons

          I have seen a complaint about the current line of quested end-game weapons. The outcry follows the refrain that there is not enough to do in order to earn them. My viewpoint sees this as a positive, and in the following I’ll explain why. Continue reading Untitled

Opposition

While I have hope, I must also be honest. In this rough return I voice some of my thoughts.

     Well, I’m back. -kicks his dusty soapbox midstage from the wings- Let’s begin, shall we? (more…)

Changes

A very small update. Due to money issues on my side I am unable to maintain my site as is. As such, come tomorrow there will be ads on the site again. Additionally, support options like my Tip Jar will not work after that point. I will be in touch with those who are subscribed that way already. For everyone else, Patreon and username info via Paypal, Venmo, etc. are still viable options.

Public Hiatus

          The last few months have been really rough on me. Every effort I have made has had a greater and opposite reaction to my intended goals, leaving me further behind than when I began. I do not have the presence of mind to organize my thoughts into writing that matters and helps the outside world. I have a lot of work to do in my Inner World. Journaling and writing are solid therapy…

Mirror Moment

          It is human to reflect. If there is no recognition in what we perceive, we are uniquely equipped to change. (more…)

Of Evolving Lexicons

          I see this meme make the rounds every now and again and I always want to respond, but don’t want to enter into a tirade on someone elses’ post. So I’ll make my tirade here! Continue reading

Moon Shine Down Light of Night clear as Eyes Behold Those who smile in victory Hold up their dance Those who mourn a fallen friend Grant hope to them Those who struggle with life Reveal a path through the coming cycle Whether the God admitted to is within or without Bear witness, and know that we too aspire to the Heavens

From February 19, 2014

          Does the saint mark their good-doings? Does the parent track intricacies of their duties? They proceed moment by moment, living their Truth. While Life is held, it should be enjoyed so thoroughly that one is unaware of it. After all, it is not a permanent state. Be whatever is This Moment, because it will be past soon enough.

Visiting Vanadiel

This was a bit of journaling originally written in December of 2010 a little after I began playing Final Fantasy XI. It was intended just for my Friends’ List which, at the time, was comprised solely of my friends. We’ll see if the casual tone survives repeated edits. Editors’ Note: Please forgive the dust and potentially constant reworks this posting will go through. I need someplace to…

Coming Attractions

          In needing a bit of break from all the social deep diving (here is hoping that nothing happens that “inspires” me to do so) I’m hoping to write a bit about games again. I came across an old “journal entry” from when I started Final Fantasy XI, so I’m going to add that here. That said, there are a lot of changes behind the scenes that I have not taken the chance to adjust to. While it…

What's the point of America?

What’s the point of America?

          Again and again over the past month I have tried to express this sentiment concisely and have failed. I am very emotional about it. I am going to try again and post this come whatever may.

How does America come together and progress into a united future? (more…)

Hurt People hurt people

Hurt People hurt people

          I started this month tired and angry. I was wholly worn out. The past several months I’ve been focused on social commentary and how everything that is being in America is effecting me. I was burned and heartbroken and to cope I just wrote off much of Right Wing, Conservative crowd of folk as “Variable C”. I found it to be dehumanizing. I was that angry, and to some degree I still am I…

Start of a Lifetime

Start of a Lifetime

          I enjoy writing. If you enjoy my works or find them relevant, I humbly ask you to help make my writing lucrative enough for it to be my primary focus. Last month I asked my friends for their aid and now I am asking you, My Readers.
