Why I’ve lost interest and probably won’t be watching Rings of Power

Amazon Prime and the studio behind Rings of Power have Lost my Respect.

Nocturne is too Powerful for the Steam Deck 512GB LOL

Progress Update: Reflecting on Productivity and Book Writing

So, by level 42, Demi-fiend had a maxed out Luck Stat.

Los Cronocrímenes / Timecrimes (2007) is misogynistic garbage: A short Spoiler-filled rant

Spoiler-y review. I wish I hadn't bothered watching this film. It isn't good. Ignore the hype of it being a groundhog day time travel film.

Super Crooks Sucked: A Textbook Case of Why Western Writers Need to Stop with this “Relatability” garbage

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.
