From Sabaody to Wano

A lot has happened in a very short time. Well, a very short time in the world of One Piece, that is. When we look at how much time it took in the real world, it actually wasn’t a short time at all. A little more than 300 chapters have taken place in the new … Continue reading From Sabaody to Wano →

AI and writing stories

If you’re like me and you love what you do, then you probably never even considered using AI for writing stories. Well, apparently that’s not the case for everyone. There was a controversy a little while ago surrounding a statement that NaNoWriMo made about AI. Apparently they thought it was a good idea to call … Continue reading AI and writing stories →

The Hesitant Hero Volume 1 Update

We are very close to November 2024 right now and if I can be fully honest with you, I wish I was far further along with my final draft of the first volume. I set myself a deadline of late July, which I changed to late September which I then changed to this year. I … Continue reading The Hesitant Hero Volume 1 Update →

One Piece Volume 89 (and a bit from 90)

This volume almost concludes the Whole Cake Island storyline, but there are two chapters in the next volume that are still a crucial part of this arc before we truly move on. For this reason I’ve decided to include those two chapters while leaving the rest of volume 90 for after a little break during … Continue reading One Piece Volume 89 (and a bit from 90) →

One Piece: Fan Letter

As we all know by now - and if this is how you’re finding out, I’m sorry - the One Piece anime is taking a substantial break from its weekly episodes covering the manga. Instead they will show us a newly animated version of the Fishman Island arc as well as a special based on … Continue reading One Piece: Fan Letter →

One Piece Volume 88

Volume 88 is upon us, and whenever I see the number 8 in something Japanese I’m reminded of the famous movie “Hachi”. Have you guys seen that? It’s based on a true story about a loyal dog named Hachiko that followed his owner to work every day, and continued to wait for him to return … Continue reading One Piece Volume 88 →

My new gaming obsession

In 2016 I got sucked into playing the MMORPG Black Desert Online and I never really recovered from that. I’m still playing the game every single day after 8 years and although I am still enjoying myself, I sometimes feel like I should make more time for other games. As a matter of fact, I … Continue reading My new gaming obsession →

Hesitant Hero 3 – Afterword #2

Hello friends, As it turns out, I’m not quite done talking about this latest volume, or the series in general, so you can expect a few more of these posts over the next couple of weeks. This time in particular I want to talk a little bit about Salandra Fevezar, our lovely scribe who helps … Continue reading Hesitant Hero 3 – Afterword #2 →

One Piece Volume 87

Hi friends, I've been pretty ill for a couple of days with a really bad stomach ache. I'm doing a bit better now, but that's why this post has been delayed, I had other priorities. Here it is, enjoy. After a disastrous failed assassination attempt, everyone is stuck inside Bege’s body and is having a … Continue reading One Piece Volume 87 →

The burrito is a metaphor

I’ve talked about Bo Burnham’s comedy before. It’s one of those comedians where I enjoyed his early work when I was younger, and enjoy his later work now that I’m older. Despite that being mainly the case, there are still some of his older songs that I really enjoy. In his second to last special; … Continue reading The burrito is a metaphor →
