The love I have for Crimson Desert knows no bounds!

If you want a game that makes you forget time exists, look no further than Crimson Desert! I’ve been playing this game for a few months now and I’m only about 160 hours in--but I’ve fallen absolutely in love with it. The first week it came out I hated that I had a job and in THIS economy that's literally insane. I’d start playing at 10 am, play for what I swear was 30 minutes; and then look up and it's 8 pm!

I’ll start with the beauty of the game. It’s so beautiful and smooth, the characters are beautiful (I love you Kliff) , the bosses are terrifyingly gorgeous, the TERRAIN makes you feel like you’re really there, be it swimming, flying or running. I feel like I’m actually IN the game!

The gameplay is outstanding. One minute you’re doing your daily’s, cooking your meals and decorating your house; the next minute you’re attacking

I was checking out my Substack today and ran across this quick post about some of the things Senator Warnock is doing in congress. Apparently some people have a problem with it. Why? I don't know.

Some good news.

In my opinion, stopping equity firms from buying up regular (single-family) homes is the exact thing to do.  Do you realize the importance of this?  Imagine the hundreds of thousands of homes that can be on the market for regular people to buy—instead of corralled in some corporation or equity firm stockpile of property; wasting away just to

We are in the short rows of 2026. It’s August; four months to go and then we are there.  There’s still a lot left to do in the year though.  Christmas, Thanksgiving… oh, and voting.  Don’t forget to VOTE.

You also still have time to make progress towards your goals—if you haven’t started. This  might be a great time to stop and take inventory--what can you

I have been waiting all year for this game to come out! Think Stellar Blade meets Sekiro meets NeiR all wrapped in one; with an original spin on it… and a dog!

It’s so much fun! The game is beautiful, characters are beautiful, and YOU CAN PET THE DOG!! Gameplay is slightly challenging yet fun with a parry system similar to Sekiro with lots of exploration. I think that's why people are whining about it.

This exact same thing happened to Crimson Desert. Crimson Desert came out and for at least the first week all you heard was people complaining left and right about how bad it was.  And while there were legitimate criticisms that needed to be addressed, like the frame dropping for some and

The Delivering of Daniel...

 The Book of Daniel Chapter 6:23

Then was the king exceeding glad for him, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den, So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no manner of hurt was found upon him, because he believed in his God.

We went to OTAKON!!!

Some of the best parts of being an anime fan is being surrounded by other anime fans and where better to do that than at anime conventions! Over the weekend I went to Otakon, the largest anime convention in DC! It’s like 4 floors of gaming, panels, SHOPPING, and anime, anime, anime!

Are we too relaxed about the upcoming 2026 midterm elections…or nawl?

 

ChatGPT AI Image: "Too Relaxed"

I’ve been hearing and seeing people on the internet(s) being very concerned to near anxiousness about the upcoming November 2026 midterm elections. Which, Tuesday, November 3, 2026, by the way, is ‘Election Day’ in the U.S.

Some are saying people are way too calm and disengaged at this point of an election year. Yes, it is August 2026.  And, November is right around the corner, but maybe people already no what they are going to do.  That is my hope. Maybe they are opting out of all the frantic activities that go on and are avoiding all the lies told during this time every election season. 

My belief is—if politicians did their jobs, and kept their constituents informed, they would not have to worry about raising so much money to get re-elected.  The work and progress made along with them reporting and telling them what they actually did, would speak for them.  But nobody
