A hiatus

I have always said that real life takes priority. As much as I adore writing on this blog, the time has come to call for a very long hiatus. My life is taking me to new horizons, and unfortunately, these new horizons do not allow Blogger. For this reason, I am taking a year long hiatus from writing.

This is by no means a closing down of this blog! I will return some day, with new ideas, new perspectives, and much to write about! But until then, I bid you adieu, dear reader. Keep on gaming.

Stardew Valley, Capitalism, and Dignified Work

I've been playing Stardew Valley for months now, and I'll confess that I'm a huge fan. As I was playing, I noticed that the game had something to say about Capitalism. Mostly, that big corporations are bad because they'll suck your soul. This message is delivered in a heavy handed manner. But beyond this simple message lays a far deeper, far more thought provoking treatise: the reason why we work.

Remembering Power Rangers Games from the 16 bit era

Power Rangers is one of those franchises that, had someone told you it'd still be on 24 years after its debut, you'd have laughed in their faces. And yet, barring the year 2010, the show has continued to produce new episodes consistently since its debut in the year 1993, with most seasons having at least 1 licensed game. When you look back on it, you realize that the number of Power Rangers games is actually pretty impressive. These games, each of varied quality, is typically a "Beat-em Up," like Double Dragon, only lighter, softer, and way easier. Let's remember a few.
