Well, to anyone paying any attention to my blogs for the past month, I've been spending quite a bit of time playing Freedom Planets 1 and 2, which are inspired by East Asian mythology.

One Philippine dish that featured in the extended backstory of the second game was siopao (pronounced sho-pow), otherwise known as steamed pork buns.

And after weeks of looking for a nearby restaurant that made authentic ones, I finally got to try some downtown today!

The 205 follower account that was known for what you see above has been deleted. Gone. I had requested account deletion in 2019 because I was extremely down and not really wanting to write on the site anymore. Then I came back, and wrote a ton more. Started to really like this whole gig again, and completely forgot I had even requested deletion.

That I would never achieve a Rainbow S ranking on every level of Freedom Planet 2.

And now...

Now only the most frantic, fast-paced, six-phase boss fight in the game is all I have left to do nearly perfectly.

It also gave me a very, very good idea of what stages I will never, ever get a Rainbow S in.

Rainbow S score thresholds require the use of difficulty modifiers that force you to come in under Par Time, and never take health damage.

I officially closed my semester and now I am free to work on my stories!

Hello VACATION! It is very nice to see you again!

That right there is a Freedom Planet developer from GalaxyTrail reading my story. I am over the moon.

Just beat Freedom Planet 2 tonight. Thanks to Ori, I know that I shouldn't be all that shocked that a 2D speed platformer has this much heart and soul poured into it, but this game's lore absolutely floored me.

A Slave's Freedom has now been updated! Go check it out (Break 1, Ache, and Blood are the latest chapters). Tomorrow will be the final day of three chapters, since we will be caught up to where the original left off. The chapter titled 'The Descent' will be the newest one, and from there, I'll be writing more of the fic with a bit more of a regular, realistic schedule.

With my quest/race to get a Rainbow S on all of Freedom Planet 2's stages, my creativity lit up like a bonfire again, and I started crafting an alternate ending of sorts for the past week.

That story is now complete, and posted in its entirety over on AO3.

That is all. Going to have my editor look over it one last time before I publish it.

Actually, there is one other thing I need to address. I thought it would be interesting to talk about why I'm writing this story. I don't know if I actually ever addressed it, so if you're curious, keep reading. If not, keep reading anyway, because it might shine some light on me as a person. Or not.

What's good, subscribers?!

Welcome to another Nova Game Review! So, I decided to switch things up and do a review on a game I carry in my pocket in case of likelihood of boredom. The game in question? Freedom Wars.

This is a very important video and as someone who's cuisin was sexually abused, this movie is very emotional for me, but I wanted to share it with all of you.

Thank you.

When shut out of a university, censored from television, or banned from a forum, people cry out ‘Freedom of Speech!’. The typical retort is that Freedom of Speech is from the First Amendment of the Constitution, and refers solely to restrictions on government action.
This is wrong. Hopelessly, myopically wrong.

Alright, if you don't follow my Twitter, here's what I've been up to this week.

After quitting Diablo 2 Resurrected after getting my teeth kicked in with the beginning of Nightmare difficulty, and facerolling my way through the easy-by-comparison Diablo 3, I took part in the Diablo IV Server Slam this past weekend.

When the subject of free speech is brought up in defense of a statement, it's often said that free speech is only free if there are no restrictions whatsoever; that all lines are arbitrary, and so none should be drawn. This is naive. There is a line; exactly one line, and it is anything but arbitrary. And that is the line between free speech and violent threat.
