The recent decision by the modding community to incorporate a mod that promotes cultural erasure of Japanese culture in a Japanese game that is primarily centered on the experience of a Japanese student life in a rural Japanese town has so many problems in both logic and the naked racism of such a decision. The … Continue reading The recent Persona 4 Mod “controversy” shows that some LGBT Gamers are sadly not immune to anti-Asian Racism and Hate
Before I begin, I would like to preface this by making it clear that I personally view the majority of religious stories to be mythology and most religious concepts – with exceptions of those that may have utility in human health and the scant few that may have similar ideas to verifiable scientific evidence – … Continue reading Why isn’t there more Native American Mythology in Video Games?
Wilderness (2023) on Amazon Prime exemplifies British barbarism and Western barbarism more generally in its most purest form.
A mini-critique of a troublesome problem that I noticed.
I want to preface this in saying that this is a good game regardless of what you think of the hype surrounding it. It’s a wonderful CRPG for the most part. Also, I tried so hard and so long to like this game, and I finally decided to just give-up on trying to force myself … Continue reading Baldur’s Gate 3: First Impressions
Were the Manikins of Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne based upon the Popol Vuh of the Mayans?
I want to keep writing an outline for a major writing project I’m working on, which always seems to expand with a large number of ideas in my mind. I want to be writing about human rights issues due to feeling like few people understand or care and the fear and ignorance can be … Continue reading Progress Update: 6 Months went by in the Blink of an Eye
A country that allows State-Sponsored human genocide under the Supreme Court decision of Oliphant vs Suquamish 1978 can never be credibly called a defender of human rights. To ignore the issue of Native American human rights is to fundamentally contradict the core principles of Human Rights for all people.
Certain facts within the plot of the show don’t make sense, but there does seem to be a reasonable – if disturbing – explanation to be extrapolated from the various hints throughout the show.
This is purely my own anecdotal experience. Please take it for what it is.
I ask again: Why are registered sex offenders allowed to enter Native American reservations to rape and kill Native Americans with impunity?
I'll just give my anecdotal opinion. If it matters, here's some of my rather dull background with respect to my interest in Sanderson's content. I mainly know of Sanderson from his thoroughly enjoyable Youtube lectures on fantasy writing from the college classes that he teaches and publicly shares. I think he's a pretty good lecturer. … Continue reading Why the Brandon Sanderson hype in discussions within the Fantasy reader community?
I would not be surprised if this is the most in-depth research on Aztec philosophy thus far.
Positives and Negatives. I'm playing this game via Xbox Gamepass for PC.
Hannah Kahnwald is deeply misunderstood. Massive Spoilers for all three Seasons of DarK on Netflix.
Last Sunday, I woke-up crying, thinking over how the US effectively and continues to commit an institutional genocide upon Indigenous peoples of the US.
If anyone's interested in political, grimdark, and dystopian fantasy; consider giving it a try.
Should the 1978 Supreme Court decision of Oliphant vs Suquamish be recognized as an act of Institutional Genocide?
After 13 hours of Hogwarts Legacy, and I wish I hadn't bought the Deluxe Edition, because it feels like a scam.
Why are Native American people not allowed to sue non-Native, registered sex offenders who come into Native American reservations to rape and kill them within the US?
And people wonder why fanbase response doesn't comport to what "video game journalists" advocate. Lol
This film is a love letter to the peaceful democratic protests of the Arab Spring.
Note: If you’re an idiot like me, go ahead and waste your money on this worthless shit.
Spoilers for this Classic.
Everything about this film is trash. Don’t waste your time.
Spoilers in the Review of this dumpster fire of crap.
A Story so Brutal, Dark, and Intriguing. It pushes the limits of creative freedom. Absolutely masterful.
Spoilers for this slice-of-life film. If anything in this film can be called a spoiler, since basically nothing happens.
Major Spoilers for the entirety of La Pucelle: Ragnarok Remastered.
Massive Spoilers for this film in the review. A new bar has been set.
I expected a machismo action flick, instead I found a story with fantastical stratagem that reminded me of Sun Tzu’s Art of War.
This will contain Major Spoilers for the La Pucelle: Tactics main story and La Pucelle: Ragnarok story of La Pucelle: Ragnarok Remastered.
A rather unique film exploring BDSM with no explicit depictions of sexual relations.

What an Amazing fucking game. A proverbial blast from the past.
Amazon Prime and the studio behind Rings of Power have Lost my Respect.

I feel so awful not having made any periodic updates for the blog and barely commenting on anything truly noteworthy. Short reviews of films I’ve watched or stopped watching early obviously aren’t a substitute for any genuinely insightful material. When thinking of this blog, I feel so bad for not having already finished and published … Continue reading Progress Update: Reflecting on Productivity and Book Writing
I want to be fully clear; I was able to max Luck by level 42. It's my 7th playthrough of Nocturne from the point of view of having played 4 full playthroughs of Nocturne in its PS2 form on my 60 GB PS3 back in the early 2010s and my third playthrough of the PS4 version of the HD Remaster. I had to level up vitality for the hospital to clear the hospital dungeon faster, but after that I only ever increased Luck and relied upon NG+ bonuses of higher level demons to get through the game. So, by level 42, Demi-fiend had a maxed out Luck Stat.

Slight Spoilers for Birds of Prey on HBO Max
Spoilers for Den of Thieves, Green Snake, Adam Project, and Master (2021).
Sam Raimi’s acquiescence to Disney’s coded anti-LGBT stance is so disgusting. Not unexpected from a horrible and incompetent film director who obeys his corporate handlers at Disney.
This awful story reminds me of my own doubts as a writer. Mark Millar’s amazingly derivative and average story couldn’t be saved even by the hands of the intellectually superior Japanese screenplay writers. Super Crooks is a painful reminder that Americans don’t know what they want as entertainment. Spoilers for this terribly boring story will follow. Spoilers also for every series that will be mentioned in this article, because I just can’t help but compare it to other series.
Despite the similarities between the two series, everyone is gushing over Arcane and nobody is talking about RWBY anymore.
Spoilers for Episodes 1 – 24 currently on Hulu.
This will contain spoilers for the entirety of the Castlevania show on Netflix. I had thought of writing a plain review, but I’d prefer to just give my thoughts on this show via a “stream of consciousness” type of writing format to give my thoughts on it.
Spoilers for Persona 4, Megami Tensei Novels, and SMTIII: Nocturne included.
The more I write this outline, the more generic this plot seems to become.
JK Rowling may really have set-up Nagini being a human from the start and the proof is in Book 6, Half-blood Prince. The "Secrets of Dumbledore" might be setting up a plot twist on Voldemort's origin involving her.

I had hoped to get one of the Nocturne Analyses done by now, but I’m going through many life changes and I unfortunately can’t finish them up prior to the end of this year. This year has gone by so fast for me with so many major life-changes, that I’m honestly quite shocked by how … Continue reading A Farewell to 2021 and a glance at the few books I read this Year:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/moonana/keylocker-turn-based-cyberpunk-action?ref=thanks-share Although much of Kickstarter generally has a negative view, I found this one to be interesting from the onset of the first trailer. It looks fun and I tried out the Demo and enjoyed how difficult it was. If anyone's interested, perhaps consider making a pledge for perks that'll probably be available whenever this … Continue reading I Donated to the Keylocker Kickstarter Campaign
It probably isn’t any Anti-LGBT Hate. It may not be solely motivated by frustration with or antagonism towards CRWBY. It may not have anything to do with being an Indie Web Series. It may not just be people jumping on a bandwagon of hate. The reason could be far simpler than that.
Lowering the price of my Political Kindle books in the days to come and life update.

My thoughts on the direction of the Tales of Series from Graces F to the recent title of Tales of Arise, the Influence of Hideo Baba, and the future of the series.
A Short Spoiler-Free Review. In terms of both story and gameplay, this is the quintessential modern Tales of game. If you have never tried this series before, then definitely try out Tales of Arise.
Major Spoilers for Seasons 1 and 2.
Don't waste your time watching this. The reviews saying it was good is further proof that mainstream reviews are genuinely less than worthless.
Earlier this year, I was hoping to get through more books to read. I tried reading a chapter of Haught’s book and Stanton’s book each day prior to reviewing them. Long story short, it burned me out far more than I expected. I had assumed the burn out I was feeling would go away, but … Continue reading Life Update: Reading Two Books at a Time was a Huge Mistake, Writing has Slowed to a Snail’s Pace, and Thoughts on Contemporary Life
If you’re an adult who has Amazon Prime, give yourself the pleasure of watching this wonderful film. This film gets a 10 / 10 in every category. One of the most beautiful depictions of LGBT intimacy and love.
What is the point of writing sexual scenarios, but not having the maturity to show scenes of either sexual intimacy or sexual violence? This is an absolute failure of a book.
The Porn flick I couldn't help but watch while slogging through Brandon Sanderson's Warbreaker.
This book is so dull and boring that I had to stop and watch a porn flick on Netflix to help get through it.
This will contain spoilers, I'm a huge fan of Takumi Miyajima's works (Tales of the Abyss and Tales of Symphonia) and I was excited to see her new story in this game.
The Implosion of US Credibility is now an unequivocal fact. If this doesn’t thoroughly destroy US credibility, then nothing will. The US was too stupid to avoid self-harm.
Spoilers for a Boring, Paper-thin story.
Note: This will contain Major Spoilers.
@JoshLafazan speared #Casteism Bill into #Nassau county due to @JamesMc93478389 head of @nassaucountypba. Will @NassauExecutive sign this #Caste bill into Law?

As expected of the exceptional nature of egregious US stupidity, the preventable COVID-19 infection is now back to lockdown levels as of two days ago and reached approximately over 100,000 cases yesterday because approximately 18 million Americans refuse to get vaccinated on a completely preventable infection that usually ends-up killing them once they contract it. … Continue reading American Exceptionalism Strikes Back: COVID-19 Cases Rise Back Up to Previous Lockdown Levels
First and foremost, this had to be one of the worst formatted books I have ever had the displeasure to read on Kindle. What kind of idiot decides to make every chapter into a shortened font size with exclusively Bold text? This was an eyesore to read. If, like me, you’re still curious and wish … Continue reading Religion is Dying by James A. Haught is a Poorly Formatted Mess
Previously, Gematsu made a very big stink out of Niche Gamer plagiarizing their web content. Evidently that didn’t stop the astute businessman and Founder of Gematsu, Sal Romano, from using their website to espouse his personal anti-Trans hatred and bigotry on the review of Nocturne HD Remaster, which he admits in the comments had nothing … Continue reading Sal Romano, Founder of Gematsu, espousing Anti-Trans hatred in Rival website, Niche Gamer

Yesterday, I took the time to watch this Youtube video, and it reminded me of a problem I kept noticing among Western Indie Developers. Also, I want to be clear that I am not trying to suggest Japanese indie development is any better, we all know of notorious Kickstarter campaigns like Mighty Number 9, but … Continue reading Why do Western Indie Developers constantly take the wrong lessons from Japanese games?
This will contain some Spoilers for Dorehedore Season 1 on Netflix.
The Myth of the Dying Church by Glenn T. Stanton is a trainwreck of exaggerated claims, bigotry towards Christians, and an appeal to Collective Insanity.
The “QOL” features are made for people who hate Disgaea and hate good games.
India’s 2021 Pew Research Survey may have accidentally shattered all hope for an Ex-Muslim movement, probably disproved any Ex-Hindu movement, and destroyed Western News Media credibility. All because Indians took a survey and gave honest answers to the non-partisan Pew Research Center.

The Main games of the Disgaea series are one of the very, very few series I go in blind because I am accustomed to fantastic quality games and simply expect it. This game has absolutely and irreparably destroyed that level of respect for this series.
Nocturne HD Remaster makes it clearer: The Manikins represented Fascism under Futomimi.

Oath of Ahimsa Before I begin, I want to make it unequivocally clear that my support for political activism in the interests of defending Dharma is strictly in terms of non-violence.

Despite contemporary books, like Elizabeth Miller’s The Dracula Handbook, rightfully pointing out clear failures in connecting Bram Stoker’s supposed knowledge with the historic Vlad Dracula and – to a lesser extent – pointing out certain historic inaccuracies regarding supposed Dracula Castles, I found this to be an enjoyable read overall.

Flawed, but ultimately a good read.
From RWBY, to Blood of Zeus, to Cannon Busters, to so much more. Westerners pilfering of Japan’s superior artform won’t breed success.
I honestly tried to like it, but it was too disappointing. Mild Spoilers up to Episode 8 of Cannon Busters.
This review will contain no spoilers. Long Live Quellcrist Falconer.
The epitome of "meh" in Anime form.
Skip, Avoid, Don't Watch. Minori Kushieda ruined this Anime.
If anyone picked this up, read the first three chapters, and concluded that it was all rubbish then they would be well within their rights to do so. While there is a good display of competence and critique in the latter 6 chapters, they’re spaced quite horribly and jarring to read.
I’ll just get right to my contentions with this dumpsterfire of a First Season. This’ll be a General Impressions, because I couldn’t finish the last two episodes of Season 1 due to how stupid and awful it became.
This Review / Analysis contains Massive Spoilers I decided to marathon this TV series out of interest.
