Reason, purpose, video games and self-esteem.
You arrive at the oasis-hamlet of Joppa, along the far rim of Moghra’yi, the Great Salt Desert. All around you, moisture farmers tend to groves of viridian watervine. There are huts wrought from rock salt and brinestalk. On the horizon, Qud’s jungles strangle chrome steeples and rusted archways to the earth. Further and beyond, the […]
Today’s blog post is a little different, in that I am actually posting some recordings of me singing along with songs I like. Lordy! Also as a note, I am planning another post which is more extensive in writing, so hopefully that’ll be up within the next week. Anyway.. As most of my close friends […]
It’s been a little while since my last post! I’ve been very busy doing other things, such as going on my one year anniversary trip with my partner and also thinking about what I’d like to do during my long summer vacation. Part of the things that I want to do more of is write, […]
Now that my addiction to SpellForce 3 has mostly ended with the completion of its expansion, Soul Harvest (which, by the way, is also a spectacular game like the base), my time has been freed up to write more about things I have been doing, and while philosophy and ethics have taken a break from […]
I haven’t been as active these past few weeks in my blogging because I’ve been busy with personal things, including things related to the book I published.

A short post, but today is the day my book has finally gone live! I started work on my book as a collection of thoughts and graphs on A4 papers, and eventually turned it into a short book on teaching language, problems faced in Japan and methods to approach teaching. It’s all based off of […]
Another recent gaming purchase of mine has been My Time At Portia, which is basically a life simulator similar to games like Harvest Moon and Stardew Valley. Interestingly enough both this and my previous purchase, Genesis: Alpha One, were published by Team17. It seems they know how to pick good titles as, like Genesis, Portia […]
Over the past few weeks, I have been in quite the slump, emotionally. My moods have been all over the place, and while there have been legitimate reasons for much of it, at the same time I was having difficulty getting back to how I usually feel and think. It’s unusual for me in this […]
My most recent gaming purchase is a game called Genesis: Alpha One, a rather bizarre sci-fi roguelike game that I bought based on the review by Worth a Buy. I liked the look of it and thought the ideas behind the game were very interesting, so I decided to pick it up on the Epic […]
A challenging part of human living is the area in which emotions arise. They can range from extremes of profound pleasure such as happiness, joy and contentment, to catastrophically painful states such as grief, depression and guilt. Some schools of thought consider emotions as states that are beyond our capacity to control and something we […]
