|Raise the Red Lantern|Posted February 5th 2026|

A first for my website, it's a review of a movie, as I have been watching more movies as of late. An adaptation of the novella entitles Raise the Red Lantern. Set in the 1920s, it follows a young women, who becomes the fourth wife of a very wealthy man in China. It is very dramatic, following almost the ideals of Confucianism on ideas of servitude and how hierarchy's should be. Luxurious treatment, however, is not a given in this life, as whoever has the lanterns lit in their house, which is decided by the master, gets more freedom than the others. Overall, it is a very fantastic movie, and I wish not to spoil it, so give it a watch.

|It Takes a War|Posted December 15th 2025|

This is a introspective video game, akin to that of The Beginners Guide. Looking into yourself, I don’t know how to describe it really. The game is styled after games such as Counter-Strike 1.6, and you follow a group of players apart of a friend group. It plays like a typical TDM multiplayer game. You play as a silent observer, as their friend group slowly deteriorates. It’s a must play from me, I don’t want to spoil it personally, so go play it on steam here. It's also only $5.99, it's super cheap, have a go.

|Blippo+ Review|Posted October 29th 2025|

Have you ever wanted to scroll through an aliens version of 90s cable television? Then look no further than Blippo+ by YACHT, Telefantasy Studios, Dustin Mierau (Playdate Version), and Noble Robot (Steam and Switch Version). Discover the planet Blip through its cable television system. You piece together while watching their television what their world is like and what their biggest sensations are. You are a person on Earth experiencing their television through a wormhole called "The Bend." The game is told through the Electronic Program Guide, which is like our version of a television guide and on the Playdate version it is based on a real 10 week cycle for television. There are 11 batches of 1-minute television programming and each batch contains 45-50 different episodes spread between about 10 channels. These play in real time, so if you miss a show you have to wait for it to come back around. This game is mostly like, what if a company made a good FMV game. Overall, I personally enjoyed it, and will not get much into spoilers as I think others should play it. It really makes you feel like you are watching another civilization, however, as simple things are different. For instance, their word for coffee is "murk." It is a highly enjoyable experience, and I would recommend people to play it. It is $15 on Steam and on Nintendo Switch.
