Tier Ranking of my College Books

Tier Ranking of my College Books

Ah, college required readings. Love them or hate them, I am forced to admit that some of these books were actually very interesting, while others… not so much. Since I am finishing college and I am finished with the required readings, I thought that I would do a good ol’ tier list of them to reflect on the highs and lows of trying to finish a book in the bus right before the test about said book. But before, let’s define each subjective rank that I will give these books: S tier- I loved this book, I maybe would have…

Looking Back

Looking Back

I don’t know how to begin exactly. It feels like I have to write something big, something theatrical. It’d be fitting, since this will be my last post here, and here was the first place where I really got a chance to share my ideas, or at least feel like I could. I got to write my first short story, my first poems, my first essays outside of class… That’s twelve posts in total over the span of two years (plus this one). All of these texts and I wanted to look back to see how proud I really am…

So instead of writing yet another review, I will present a character from the Resident Evil franchise and all the reasons why he is my personal favorite.  Ethan Winters is the main protagonist in Resident Evil 7: Biohazard as well as Resident Evil 8: Village. He is…

Status Window: Classes vs Jobs in RPGs

How to differentiate classes and jobs in RPG settings. When it comes to combat RPGs, creators tend to implement many ways to get stronger. Two important parts of a status window which can decide the future of entire accounts are classes and jobs. While the two can easily be interchanged, it can be very helpful to know the difference between them.  To begin, RPGs will generally let you have access to jobs right from the start of their game. While some RPGs will simply mark them as tasks and create a simple XP mastery system, others will force you to…

The Styx

The Styx

Trigger Warnings—Implication of Suicidal Ideation and Mental Health.A collection of gothic poems. The StyxNight, night; in the dead of night.My body yearns for slumber,Yet my soul requires a fight.It asks for questions with no answer. Night, night; in the dead of night.I feel the Styx pulling me in.Gallons pouring of no right.In my boot, place a silver coin. Night, night; in the dead of night.I shall meet the poor Charon,Guider of the ones who lost their might.Eternal tortured with no bone. Night, night; in the dead of night.I do not care for all the things I leave.Pay my fare and…
