It’s Not Going To Make You Happy

I think I would make a billboard that would say, “IT WON’T MAKE YOU HAPPY”, and I would place it outside any big shopping mall or car dealer. Ideally actually, you know what would be a fun project? Is to buy and train thousands of parrots to say, “IT WON’T MAKE YOU HAPPY, IT WON’T MAKE YOU HAPPY”, then you let them loose in shopping malls and superstores around the world. That’s my life mission. Anybody in? Anybody with me? Let’s do it!

To Know Who You Walk Alone With

There’s this book based on the “Dokkodo” that I’m reluctant to read. “Dokkodo” can be loosely translated (or accurately translated — my knowledge of Japanese is very limited) to “The Way of Walking Alone.” It’s a scroll of precepts written by Miyamoto Musashi, sword saint of Japan, to hand down…

Proven by Science

One of my favorite authors keeps mentioning the 5-Minute Journal so I thought I’d check it out. Looks nice — and claims its effectiveness to be “proven by science.” The web page cites (but does not link to) a “multi-year project” by the University of California. Again, the journal looks…

Thimbleweed Park Review

So this is it. This is my goodbye to the point’n’click adventure genre. Double Fine’s Broken Age disappointed me. It was supposed to be a revival of the genre; in the end it was a watered down, lacklustre mess without a soul. On the other end of the spectrum, I’ve…

Blaster Master Zero Review

Full disclosure: I’ve barely touched Zelda: Breath of the Wild. I’m sorry, internet; it failed to enthrall me as it enthralled you. What I have been playing is one of the first titles available on the Switch download platform. Its name: Blaster Master Zero. I have no clue what Blaster…

Torment: Tides of Numenera Review

This was never going to be an easy ride for the team at inXile. But they brought it upon themselves. One cannot claim to stand beside a beloved niche RPG and expect to come away scratch-free. I don’t know if Planescape: Torment was, objectively, all that great. It doesn’t matter…
