How Minecraft Helped Me Re-Contextualize Life

This year has been pretty lukewarm, at least in my personal life. Only real big change was a shift-switch in my job. Everything else? Pretty much just sort of, stagnant, but not really in a negative light. Oh, and there’s me having an ongoing existential crisis over turning forty at...

BQC: Pointless Facts About Me

I was tagged and/or challenged to answer some basic pointless questions as a blog challenge via ShellSharks, and before I pass out and sleep for my “friday” at work, I think I’ll go ahead and answer them! Especially since, I haven’t written here much due to the fact that a...

Fosstodon: The Neutral Problem

So, I was kind of debating writing this, because it’s not a very happy, or good topic. But, also, it’s a topic that’s scattered all over the Fediverse in about a million threads with no clear beginning, or even an end. To cut straight to the matter: Another Mastodon instance...

Does The Fediverse Need Influencers To Survive?

Today I’m going to talk about something that someone decided to complain about, on the Fediverse, that most of us on the aforementioned verse are extremely opposed to. But, these kinds of takes were inevitable, since corporate social media is already a thunder-dome of garbage, and of course there are...

Discord: The Community Killer

It’s been a little while since I’ve written on an actual topic. A lot of that has to do with me filling my free time with building a ridiculous world around my base in Minecraft Java (heavily modded), and jumping back into World of Warcraft on my original DeathKnight from...

A Deluge Of Sleep And Work

I haven’t really written here all that much in the past couple weeks, and it’s not entirely because I don’t want to, or don’t feel like it. I mean, you can see me posting daily on Akkoma from right here on the site. But, I’m deep into the night shift...

The Happenings 2: What's Going On?

It’s been a little bit since I’ve last written directly, here on the site. Most of this has to do with mental burn-out and the current political climate. The rest of it has to do with me being absolutely addicted to Minecraft and the little world I’ve built where I...

Inzoi, The Sludge Sim

Just like I thought, the slow-creep of generative AI into gaming continues. Except this time it marches forward with Krafton’s enthusiastic destruction of the arts with it’s latest and highly anticipated life-sim, InZoi. Thought to be a “Sims killer,” the game launches as an ultra-realistic sim that immediately shoves generative...

Nintendo Is Testing Your Patience, And Also Your Intelligence

So, just a few days ago, it was announced that the Switch 2 will be nearly 500 dollars. This still pales in comparison to what it costs to have a whole entire PC, but hold up a second. Not only will the console cost you 500 dollars, but the digital...

Minecraft: Alternate Reality Games

In continuing my new trend of just yapping, I wanted to point out something that I’ve been kind of enjoying lately (especially since quality Backrooms Youtube content has kind of dried up for me). That thing being, Minecraft ARGs, or “alternate reality games.” Wherein, some user will post, or say...
