  • Trauma Informed Self-Loathing

    It’s crazy how much our perceptions help to shape the reality that surrounds us. One couple’s would be date night is another persons unfortunate demise Following on the theme of my article from yesterday, I seem to be having a bit of trouble finding my footing this ‘spoopy season, in that both my ongoing playthrough… Read more

  • Silksong: The Cost of Faith

    I will always advocate in the name of honesty, no matter how painful the truth may be. The truth shall set you free I’ve often discussed that my approach to the everyday, at least, in my estimations of what it takes for one to be successful at surviving, depart drastically from common wisdom. I am… Read more

  • Silksong: Color Me With Expectation

    I usually advocate for Occam’s Razor, in shaving away all of the excess of complicated theories and leaving the simplest explanation left as the correct deduction. Always trust in the simplest reasoning As I detailed in my last post, I was finally able to reach the first “not true” ending of Silksong, after weeks of… Read more

  • Silksong: Nothing Beyond The Rainbow

    One person’s ending is another person’s beginning, true both in the fight of the every day, and the absurdity of what constitutes the reality of virtual battlefields. What I imagine most Silksong bosses eat for breakfast every morning And…credit roll… Fully aware I still have yet another full act of content to see before the… Read more

  • Silksong: The Homunculus of Hobbyism Theory

    I think that the quote: “Sometimes you eat the bar, and sometimes the bar eats you” definitely applies to Silksong in radically wonderful degrees of resounding relatability How I imagine a lot of self-performed pep talks go with Silksong players about to give the boss who just killed them for the twentieth time just one… Read more

  • Silksong: Lauding A Leading Lady Fathomed Fervently From Fantastical Faithfuls

    It pays to know what ones specialty is, as trying to overextend yourself in an attempt to be everything all at once on account of appealing to everyone can come off as being an uninspired, belligerent mess. Something tells me Combo Man wouldn’t be considered for a Fortnite cameo…which is ridiculous, cause they’ll take fucking… Read more

  • Silksong: Do Good Games Take A Longer Time To Develop? Or Do Longer Development Times Produce Good Games?

    Self care is important, and looks like a lot of things to a lot of different people. Whatever it looks like to you, just make sure you keep doing it in times of need With that said, this is going to be a short one today I think, as the mood is quite drab, and… Read more

  • Words of Wisdom: Idealizing Idleness

    Sometimes, you’ve got to slow down, consider your options, and know when to let go. Some realizations are more painful than others Which is why the words of Wisdom for today are idealizing idleness, which might come as a shock to some of you, if you’re at all familiar with some of my own notions… Read more

  • Silksong: Clambering For The Climax That Never Comes

    We live in hypocrisy, and are often the makers of our own doom. I’m reminded of this sentiment these days, usually when I’m reading about others who lament the difficulty level in Silksong, as if they are tragically unfamiliar with the very nature of difficulty involving video game design since time immemorial. A lot of… Read more

  • Silksong: In The Land Of The Thoughtless, The Thinkers Rule As Kings

    As I always say: in a recession of shits to give, know how to budget accordingly. If time is money, then proper shit allocation is generational wealth. Yesterday’s post was a bit of an oddball attempt of mine at providing some wisdom in the realm of the strategically practical, with some D.I.Y tips on how… Read more

  • Silksong: Socially Sustaining Such Scandalously Seductive Schadenfreude Sensibilities

    My heart goes out to all of the game developers who put in more hard work than the gaming masses will ever realize, all in the service of making something just for their enjoyment. How I imagine a lot of game developers feel right after launching a game with the crowded masses of fans doing… Read more

  • Silksong: Temple of Dooming Itself Into A New Context

    After being alerted to a theoretical reality of how horses function, I think my advice to Silksong players having trouble would be to start horsing around. Do as the horses do I think it’s fitting that while I write this article, I struggle a bit with mood and energy levels, which is generating a melancholy… Read more

  • Silksong: Democratizing Difficulty

    No one likes a tryhard. This notion pushes some even deeper into the realm of absurdity, as they then double down, and try harder to become the “tryhardiest”…a self-damning effort, if I’ve ever witnessed one I mentioned briefly in my last Silksong article, in what I would consider me half joking about putting out too… Read more

  • Soulslike Players Complaining About Easier Difficulty Options: Touch Grass

    One must find enjoyment where one can, though if your idea of an enjoyable dish in the dinning room of life is a bit spicier than others, do not force peppers into your shared preferred dish of choice when cooking for the entire crowd. Spending time with family is a great example of just how… Read more

  • The Exhaustion Chronicles: Video Games I Slept On This Week

    As I sit here with bloodshot eyes and a sore body, knowing I still have one more overnight shift left to do before my work week is over, mulling over ideas in an attempt to fulfill my self-imposed status quo of writing about games everyday, I catch myself from nodding off right before my head… Read more
