Thoughts on the ‘Thief’ gaming franchise

Yesterday, I saw a YouTube video discussing the differences between the original two Thief games and modern AAA games in general. You can see that video here, but for the sake of convenience and because I want to tangentially continue what the video talks about here are the main points of what AAA games nowadays […]

Livetweeting Sera Myu SuperS Revival – Dream Warriors – Love – Into Eternity…

Here‘s the Storify of the livetweets for this revival musical in case you missed the livetweets. As always with the original Myu musicals, the fansubs are courtesy of SeaofSerenity.net  with my warmest thanks for their work in translating these musicals and making them available.

Livetweeting Sera Myu SuperS – Dream Warriors – Love – Into Eternity…

It is once again time for another livetweet Storify link! Yes, I know. I know. I’m still working on these without any kind of schedule. I’m plotting it, I promise, but the past week was… extremely rough for a lot of people, myself included, and I basically went “To hell with planning, I need my […]

Book Talk: HEX, Chapter 32 and 33

Livetweets of the SeraMyu musical: Usagi – The Path to Become the Warrior of Love

It’s been almost a week since I actually livetweeted these! I’m so very sorry about the delay — I’ve been a combination of busy and unwell — but I’m here now! This time, rather unexpectedly given that I’d promised to make a schedule for these, I tackled the second musical: Usagi – The Path to […]

Livetweets of the first SeraMyu musical: Dark Kingdom Revival

You can read all about it on the Storify here if you’ve missed the TOTALLY UNANNOUNCED (because I’m just that brilliant) livetweets of watching Sera Myu. Many thanks to Sea of Serenity for the fansubbed version! That was… not what I was expecting. I am not kidding when I say I’ve never seen the musicals […]

Are you criticising the whole book when you criticise the blurb?

Are you, though? Spoiler: the answer is “no”. tl;dr A blurb is a short text designed to give you an idea of what the book will be contain. Blurbs can be badly written. It is okay to criticise a blurb for being badly written or throwing up red flags. Also no marginalised people DON’T have […]

SeraMyu Livetweets Scheduling

Saturday is going to be SeraMyu livetweet day! :O Why? Well, simply put because I think Saturday is going to have the greatest chance of letting people join in or follow along with the livetweet if they want to.

Book Talk: City of Strife

First of all: are you looking for an all-queer large ensemble cast political high fantasy story? Because that’s what City of Strife is and it is absolutely glorious and you may very well love it to little bits and pieces the way that I did. (Except a couple of particular characters that are not lovable. Especially […]
