First of all, I don't care too much for water... especially not as a plot item in movies. The whole drowning/submerged thing has just been used too much, and I can't help but think about how the appropriate reaction next time I see something where a character is about to drown is...
The Abyss is one of the best sci-fi action/adventure movies ever made. Besides the "usual" ingredients of excitement, characterization and great narrative technique, the movie really scores on the wonder factor. The amazing, jellyfish-like aliens and their manipulation of water... A superb st...
Indie game reviews with a dash of Black Girl Magic! Check out my thoughts on some of my fave (and not so fave) indie games!
oh well, sorry for the sketch, Thalassa: Edge of the Abyss is a pleasant and detailed story that starts with the aim of detailing a painful story, made up of the various crew members, who have interesting subplots. The game design then focuses on offering a great way to tell one's ...

Unscored-Sigh of the Abyss: Shadow Bonds - Prologue Oct 7, 2023 Speaking of impressive the title also has an extensive codex despite it being just an appetiser. The foundation of its world is solid and intriguing, so much so that it’ll be one of the biggest reasons as to you will be...
