Vol 5: Chapter 4 – Dinner Stories

Seated between Teddy and Doroly, who were both very kind to him, Mirgia still couldn’t help but feel out of place. The smallfolk village had been incredibly kind to him so far, even as he wandered through Redsan itself many of the people had approached him and given him something to snack on or shared … Continue reading Vol 5: Chapter 4 – Dinner Stories →

The one called Sailor Moon

The first time I ever even really heard about Sailor Moon was through an Achievement Hunter video back in the day. Ray - who is now a Twitch streamer that I still watch after more than a decade - had a Tuxedo Mask skin in Minecraft and that was the first time I heard of … Continue reading The one called Sailor Moon →

Fuck the police

A Twitch streamer I used to watch would often refer to someone’s place of birth as their spawn point. It’s a bit of an odd way to look at it, but it also makes sense. If you are assigned a random spawn point at birth, things could be vastly different purely based on that one … Continue reading Fuck the police →

Vol5: Chapter 3 – Thoughtful or instinctive

After wandering through town for a part of the afternoon and delivering the letters to the post office, who promised a safe delivery, but not a particularly quick one, Mirgia eventually made his way out of the town of Redsan and towards the home of Teddy and his wife. “If you leave the town on … Continue reading Vol5: Chapter 3 – Thoughtful or instinctive →

The Ancient Magus Bride Volume 21

With a rather large school arc now seemingly behind us, we returned home to the cottage at the end of the last volume, where it’s time to wind down and relax a little bit, having dealt with Philomela’s grandmother and the accompanying corruption. Yet trouble stirs almost immediately again as the actions that Chise took … Continue reading The Ancient Magus Bride Volume 21 →

Vol 5: Chapter 2 – The big green house for tallfolk

The big green house for tallfolk wasn’t just a good descriptor, apparently it had also been adopted as the actual name of the local inn. A large sign above the door displayed it proudly, although the second half of the word “tallfolk” barely fit and was curving downwards so as not to run out of … Continue reading Vol 5: Chapter 2 – The big green house for tallfolk →

12 years since Rage of Bahamut: Genesis

Welcome to a new series I’m starting in 2026 in which we will revisit old series that I personally remember fondly to see if they hold up or not. This won’t be a weekly series, but there will be regular uploads. We’re starting with Rage of Bahamut: Genesis today. 2000 years after a disastrous battle … Continue reading 12 years since Rage of Bahamut: Genesis →

All this effort, to make it look effortless

On the 2023 album So much for stardust, Fall Out Boy sings about many different themes. One the song Flu Game they sing about performing and being in the spotlight while going through things. According to people who did more research than me, a lot of the song is paying tribute to a Michael Jordan … Continue reading All this effort, to make it look effortless →

Vol5: Chapter 1 – Strange Lands

“Do you think he’s going to be okay?” The first thing Mirgia heard when his consciousness returned to him was the voice of what seemed to be a young child. He felt his body shake as the cart he found himself in traversed the rough road. He squinted in the harsh sunlight of the midday … Continue reading Vol5: Chapter 1 – Strange Lands →

One Punch

If you came here for another scathing review about the dumpster fire that is One Punch Man season 3, I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you. While I did watch it, I don’t think there’s anything I can say that hasn’t been said already. Instead I want to talk about another anime that involved punching, … Continue reading One Punch →
