I have written two posts about the unexpected long-term (and slow-to-realize) benefits of Taiji. I was going to write a third (this post), and while that is still the nominal plan, I want to focus moe on my teacher in this post. Or rather, how I got to the point where I trust her implicitly… Continue Reading
Yesterday, I wrote part one of the unexpected long-term benefits of Taiji with a fair bit of meandering in between actual points. That’s how my brain works, and it’s not something I care to change. Things are connected, man. That’s just the way it is. I mentioned that I fell the other day. This is… Continue Reading
When people talk about the benefits of Taiji, often they mean the health benefits–both physical and mental. Sometimes, there’s the added talk of how it helps shift your mindest becaause the basic tenet of Taiji is that you take is what is given to you and return it. It’s also known as the lazy person’s… Continue Reading
Hi. This is part two on my quick look at Have a Nice Death (Magic Design Studios). Will there be more? Maybe. Here is post one in which I talk about the basics and then wander off as I tend to do. I just played a few rounds, and–well, let me put it this way.… Continue Reading
I am looking for a new game, and Ian suggested Have a Nice Death (Magic Design Studios) on Game Pass. It’s a 2D roguelike-lite (my term for any game that is like Binding of Isaac) in which–wait. First of all, I thought I had played the demo for the game, but it was another game… Continue Reading
In the last post, I was musing about what makes a good soulslike along with why i’m fine with Elden Ring being open world Dark Souls IV. I think that FromSoft is now in an interesting time because for a decade, they were flying under the radar and considered a genre-defining developer. They were never… Continue Reading
I want to talk about soulslikes in general beacuse I just tried two that fell short of what I’m looking for in one. Those are Another Crab’s Treasure (Aggro Crab), also known as SeKrilo (at least in my head) and Tails of Iron (Odd Bug Studio). Both were heavily influenced by From games, specifically Sekiro.… Continue Reading
In yesterday’s post, I talked about the game, Tails of Iron (Odd Bug Studios), also known as Rat Souls. I played a few hours of it and really gave it the old college try. I mentioned what I liked about it (mainlyf the art design), and I have more to say about it. Really, it’s… Continue Reading
I quit playing Sekrilo (Another Crab’s Treasure) because I just was not having fun with it. I may go back to it at some point, but I may not. I have decided that the game will forever more be known as Sekrilo (the protag is Kril), and I shall not be moved from it. Ian… Continue Reading
I don’t get gender. I fully acknowledge this is a me-thing as most people seem very wedded to their gender, but let me break this down. And I mean this is the most real, non-sarcastic way. I know how it sounds and that it may seem like I’m throwing jabs. I truly am not. Here’s… Continue Reading
