Other Games For Tetris Effect

(blows dust off blog, immediately starts coughing) So! Something that's been discussed as of writing lately, is how Tetris is good for preventing ptsd. Not curing it mind you, but *preventing it*. Or at least creating a reduction in symptoms. Here's an article discussing a study , where they also mention some alternatives that are visually challenging. The key thing seems to be keeping the…

To Be Dead

A work of short fiction by Olivia Wertheimer: ~~~~ To be dead. Peace is for those who were given their correct funerary rights. For those who lay with their ancestors, or at least away from the prying eyes of strangers. Always prying. “Ooo, could you imagine posing with that one.” “I wish they would let us take pictures again.” “Oh that’s disgusting .” She wanted to slam her fists against glass,…

Another Letter to the President

Do you hear them? Between the sounds of explosions and shaking buildings, do you hear the screams of the people of Gaza? Do you hear their sobs? Do you hear children crying out for their parents? For their siblings? Do you hear their prayers? You should. Every night before you sleep until your final rest, you should hear them. Knowing you could have prevented this. You could have stopped giving…

So this is a thing some folks are doing and hey, why not. I’ll reflect a little, note things that went well career wise, things that didn’t go so well, and hopefully folks can learn from this. Where I Started: Huh. So, just this year, I had started on some ADHD meds. This was major, as these meds let my brain function a bit more like a regular person’s. And by that I mean actually get stuff done.…

Time to Talk About Voter Motivation

Time to talk about Voter Motivation. This was a post I was considering for a little bit, given a recent tweet blow up, and also just getting tired of explaining to people the same thing over and over again. Then the abortion decision draft got leaked and the chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee had this to say: Pretty sure its May right now dude, so who’s the stupid one now ?…

EARNIT Act Hurts Kids

EARNIT. Something that people following me, and a few others might have heard about. I know I’ve tweeted just a little bit about. But for those who are new, or are coming in unaware, let me give you a break down of what it is, and why you should care. EARNIT is a bipartisan bill written by Senators Blumenthal and Graham. Lindsay Graham. The claimed goal is that it will help protect children, and…

Be a Light in the Darkness

I refuse to believe all is lost. Even when the darkness is looming over me, I will be a light in the darkness. I call on all of you in joining me in being lights. And maybe, just maybe, all together? That darkness will become a shadow to our joined light.

Not All is Lost: How We Can Use The Current GOP Implosion

In my tweet I mentioned Moderate Republicans should have an interest in voting rights legislation. This is due to the current GOP making moves to keep their base, while eradicating other voices, including those who just aren’t extreme enough. But this can be their undoing. The Reform America Movement has been supporting voting rights legislation, legislation which will give the non-extremists a…

Thoughts on Nanite and Lumen

One of my recent videos was on photorealism within UE5, where I mentioned various things about Lumen, Nanite, and UE5’s potential. But due to the unscripted format, that also involved showing things off, as well as answering a specific question, not all of my opinions were revealed
