Why I Rebranded

I'm terrible with consistency. One of the most important skills a human being can have, and I am so incredibly bad at it that it's practically a personality trait by now. When I started this website, I tried my hardest to roleplay in my little made-up world. If you were there at the start, you know what I mean - "He Who Writes", the super long title, the bullshit paragraph that I pulled out of thin air to kinda-sorta-not really describe what was going on here, etcetera. And don't get me wrong, I still enjoy roleplaying and letting out my cringe demons. But that was a bit much...alright, maybe more than a bit. I've thought of so many ways to explain myself to you all over the past few months, but nothing ever felt right: "I'll be finishing another entry soon" would be stalling, "I'm sorry" would be giving up, and "I've got plenty of other projects in the works" would be a bribe. So, I'll just be honest - I have no idea what happens next. Life became a problem that I couldn't fix, leaving everyone who cared about this story (all five of you) holding the metaphorical bag.

I can't guarantee a consistent posting schedule, but there will be more to read here in time. For now, let me explain some of the ideas I have for how the website will be handled:
  • Endless Possibilities - From now on, I'll post whatever I want. Gods, demons, magic, science, war, loss, family - anything I feel like writing. Probably won't get into any more long series for a while, since we saw how wonderfully that went, but I will definitely finish up that storyline. I'll  do a full overhaul to the current entries, then finish the last two or three entries of that tale before moving onto greener pastures.
  • Canon Content - Not everything posted will be entirely true to the world (stories about vampires don't mean vampires exist), but everything posted is part of the in-universe lore. Even if the supernatural isn't real, people believe it is, and will tell stories with that belief in mind. The same applies to mythological stuff as well as everyday occurrences; anything can be true or not, but it's all canon to the world regardless.
  • Labels - In order to differentiate between different types of content, I'll be utilizing the label system within BlogSpot. Each post will have a categorizing label, allowing me to filter content for viewers without creating tons of separate menu pages.
Like I said at the start, I'm terrible with consistency. But I haven't forgotten about this place.

How I Would Follow Up "Tyranny"

Tyranny , the 2016 dark fantasy CRPG from Obsidian Entertainment , never received a sequel. Not all games warrant a follow-up, as we're starting to see in this modern landscape of under-performing franchise players, but some titles simply don't feel complete without one. Tyranny is one of those games. Short enough to not overstay it's welcome, long enough for your choices to be impactful and varied, but lacking any large-scale resolution for the pieces laid out in it's final hours. And at this point in time, nearly a decade after release, there is zero indication that Obsidian has any intention of revisiting the universe. As a fun thought experiment, I want to discuss some short ideas for how I would follow this game up in 2025. Part One: An Archon of Our Own The idea is pretty cut and dry: Overlord Kyros is gone, and the Empire is fracturing into warring states ruled by the Archons . The main character's actions in the first game proved to the world that Kyros is ...

My Regrets with Abandoning Games

It started when I couldn't finish Fallout: London, despite loving it. Then my exploration of Enderal was cut short after reaching Ark, when I didn't want to go back out into the world that wanted to kill me. I purchased Syndicate and never finished it; I then bought a ton of great games on GOG and Steam during sales, playing introductory bits of all of them just to get an idea of where I stood with them... and I barely felt a spark beyond that initial intrigue. I wasn't quite sure if it was a problem with my tastes, or my health, or my time. But then I played Tyranny for the first time, having never played Pillars of Eternity, and I powered through 25 hours of gameplay without skipping a beat. Tyranny managed to grab my attention quickly, and maintain it throughout a relatively short (but deep) gameplay experience. I don't have any plans for an actual review of it, but it kept me going for a while and I appreciate it for not wasting my time. The sheer excitement and fun...

London but not the Syndicate kind

I have been playing the absolute shit out of Fallout London for the past week. And I think I've finally met my match, because at Level 14 with a decent chunk of quests under my belt, I have only explored about 1/4th of the city. When I look at the mostly uncharted map, and realize how much I have already done, I cry angry tears. This is my London Low-Down. Mind the fucking gap, samurai. The Good Doggie There are few things in life more satisfying than a bowler-hat-wearing, cigar-smoking British bulldog. Or pug. Or maybe a mutated rat - I honestly don't know what breed the game's resident Dog Companion™ happens to be. With a name like Churchill and the scariest walking sound effects known to man, this powerhouse can really lay down the law while I get my ass handed to me by a giant wombat. I was actually worried that I would have trouble finding him, as my first thirteen levels passed by without so much as an introduction to any of the companions. Once I began to focus on th...
