Video games of 2024

Over time, I start to notice I have began playing more and more single-player and co-op games oppose to player-vs-player (ex. Apex Legends, Overwatch, Rainbow Six: Siege, Battlefield). Thinking about why, I realized it was due to the stressful nature stemming from PvP, which does me no favor for my mental health. I learned that […]

Mental Health

I thought I was invulnerable. On some nights, I would spring up in a cold sweat. In my dreams, I saw them. On other nights, I would quickly sit up in anger. I saw them again. On long car rides by myself, the memories came back and so did my tears. On some days, I […]

Animes of 2021-24

I realized I kinda fell out of posting more of my thoughts on various anime shows I watched. Some of the animes here were from a previous draft (Great Pretender to Uzaki-Chan) while the rest are newly written. I still don’t see myself as a “weeb” or that much into anime. I always just like […]

Battle Pass

Grinding a Battle Pass is a second job. A usual Battle Pass would last for a limited-time, with real money (for most games) and/or progress already invested. The following is all from analyzing my own playstyle habits and choices, along with looking at various other people’s reactions online on specific passes. Don’t take it as […]

Criticism and “the blob”

There is nothing wrong with criticizing, especially if it’s structured in a way that is fair and not demeaning or rude. It is always easy to make a quick statement (“This thing is dumb”) than it is to give out a constructive criticism (“I think this thing didn’t work because [insert 400 words about why […]

AI Dependency

There have been some talks across the internet about the possibility of generative artificial intelligence taking over human creativity. Nowadays you mostly have seen generative AI used as a shortcut, in a way where creative studios and individuals don’t want to spend much money or time on a creative work. Before then, AI was a […]

Year in review (2022)

Another year, another life. Life Much like last year, it’s the same old, same old. Well, except for one major thing… Dogs My family decided to get dogs to help therapize my brother (he has violent bipolar schizophrenia, long story I can only share privately with those I trust). I’ve been spending the past year […]

Servers – Book 2: Pre-Pre Production

There is a fair chance Book 2 might never happen, or maybe it will. I’ve been working on Book 2 since 2013, occasionally revising or adding some parts of the story here and there. It first started off as both a reimagining of the old Servers: Season 2 and partial fan-fic of a Firefly TV […]

Year in review (2021)

Life Not much significant has happened. So far, I am still here, so that counts for something. I have gotten my two vaccine shots (Moderna) and a booster, which has helped to gain some peace of mind. Especially when traveling to other places, like Hawaii and a EDM concert. You have to show your vaccine […]

Servers: Part 2 – The Hackers (again) | Behind the Scenes

Read the comic here! A remake of a remake. Strange, I know. There have been three other variations of Part 2, each I am not particularly proud of until now. The first Part 2 was from old Servers, made way back in 2006. The second Part 2 was during a remake resurgence, but I felt […]
