[VN Review] Highway Blossoms – A Visual Novel Saved By Its Voice Acting.
It has its highs and lows. I was honestly not sure how to rate this. On one hand, the player is treated to a quite a boring story, however, the characters and voice acting redeemed it so much that it’s hard to give the visual novel a bad score, or just flat out not like it for that matter. This review is mostly spoiler-free. There is one spoiler, but I’ve highlighted it so you can avoid it. Loves/Hates: Lovable Characters Emotional Gorgeous artwork/illustrations Amazing voice acting Uninteresting story Feels padded with filler Cliche Story Highway Blossoms is a kinetic romance visual novel featuring two characters, Amber and Marina, who meet each other in the desert after Marina gets stuck there. But Marina isn’t there for any reason, she’s there because she’s on this hunt to find treasure buried by someone, and she’s not the only one…
[Review] From Windows 7 to 10: Why You Will Love What Windows 10 Has To Offer.
A worthy successor to change the heart of sceptics. It’s been about 7 years since I’ve been using Windows 7 (coincidence, haha). I’ve used it from the time I built my first computer back in 2012. This was the same time Windows 8 came around, but I passed on it. Windows 10 would come three years after, but again, I was attached to Windows 7. Coming off of the hot mess that was Windows Vista, I adored Windows 7’s improvements to both stability and performance while it adopted Windows Vista’s modern look. And with the computer that I had built, using Windows 7 felt like it was in a league of its own. But now that Microsoft is pulling the plug on security updates for Windows 7, it’s about time I consider saying goodbye to an old friend and see if the transition to Windows 10 was really…
[Book Review] A Girl Named Adam (By Jordan J. Scavone)
The Power of Gender and Friendship. “A Girl Named Adam” by Jordon J. Scavone is different from the books I usually review on here, thus I’m not too familiar with the criteria that make for a good children’s book. Nonetheless, as a fellow writer, I was able to spot the book’s numerous high points. As a trans person, I looked for anything that may have come off as misrepresentation. However, the truth is, I hardly found anything that was done poorly by this book. You can even say that A Girl Named Adam is near perfect in storytelling, artwork and its cause. Story Since I want to make this as spoiler-free as possible, I’ll keep details to a minimum. This is an interesting one because the book tells the story from the perspective of the trans kid’s friend. Usually, you would find storybooks with LGBT…
Far Cry 5’s ending: A Lesson In ‘How Not To End A Game’.
There is no amount of words that can really express how upsetting its ending is. Far Cry 5’s ending is so frustratingly bad that I had to write this essay separate from my review of Far Cry 5 because there’s just so much wrong with it and so much to dissect that it would make my review of the game unnecessarily long. Let’s start at the point where you have finished killed all three of Joseph’s lieutenants. It should be obvious that there is going to be spoilers for Far Cry 5 here, so if you haven’t played it yet, now would be a good time to before you proceed with this essay. Done? Good, then let’s begin. Joseph’s sudden character change. During the game, once you have killed a lieutenant, Joseph would appear to remorse for his fallen family member and how a…
