Some updates and Some Bragging

       So two years is enough time between two posts or not? Like most adages there is another one 'Content is King'. I am non-blogging blogger. Maybe I am repeating my words from the last post but what is new in the world. Because I can't click portraits on my own maybe I could but I have my teams who make the models prim and proper and that reduces the time for post-processing. But the end result has still been the same for the last few weeks the camera is still in its bag and haven't shot anything at least on my camera and even very few photos with the phone. The computer has been down for months now because the part that is needed to fix it "Graphic Card" isn't a small investment. 

The whole result of everything is that I am reading a lot especially since I finally got myself a tablet that led to me subscribing to Kindle Unlimited which led to me finally being able to read White Sands by Brandon Sanderson the physical version was extra costly and I got them and many more through the program and I am super excited to read many more books and series and finally started playing some games on my PS4 Pro and the inciting incident was, of course, some youtube videos and also my Brother-in-Law was visiting for a few days so some games were downloaded for him but then I started playing Assassin's Creed - Odyssey and this time I am playing as Alexios, I had played this game earlier on my PC for about 60 hours but now following build guides from an awesome YouTuber T7 PDM who is still making videos about this game and I love watching his videos and learning from them. 

Another thing I finally finished the first book in the Stormlight Archives book "The Way of Kings" by Brandon Sanderson. This was as awesome as I had heard and as I expected it to be. I loved the book, I cried with the book, and I laughed but I am not going to jump over to Words of Radiance just yet because I have 67 books on my Currently Reading list and I am planning on reducing that number a bit before continuing with the series but I am a massive mood reader so don't be surprised if I start reading the book just after this post or another day or something like. Oh and I started the Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Diniman, I am currently in the middle of the second book in the series and this is a LitRPG series and it's fun to read this. I had read Solo Leveling first where something similar was the scenario but that was a Mahwa series and Dungeon Crawler Carl is a full-on novel and these are the first full-size books I have read on my tablet. 

My idea while trying to get the tablet was to read mangas through different manga sites for which I have a subscription and I read a few books on the phone but the tablet is a whole different experience and I realized that the tablet is perfect for reading most of the graphic novels that I am getting from Kindle Unlimited. Ah well. enough writing for now and I am itching to read on my tablet because due to office and gaming, I wasn't able to read any book on it so time to start reading a new graphic novel to increase the Current-Read list number to 68 :D I am sure this is never going to clear all the way but no I am stopping here after all it's a new post after a long time. Maybe finally read these words.

Visual Novels - My Current Passion

 Hey beautiful people! how are you doing? How do you like to pass whatever time you get for yourself? What do you do for entertainment? Do you lose yourself in the endless well of content that is now youtube? or do you like to scroll and binge through what Netflix and other OTT platforms offer? Do you maybe like to read? Do you play video games? I do all these or did and these all are my passions and loves. I love reading but most of my time is right now devoted to another kind of reading which is 'Visual Novels'. 

VN or Visual Novels as the name is a novel or story supported by photos and animation or just photos. Most of the time these are rendered images so the updates take a long time but still we have 1000s of these VNs and games that have been completed. Now fair warning most of these VNs are what is classified as adult content but then most of the wonderful games for PS4 as well so there's that. I will be 40 this year so I am way above the age limit and enjoy whatever content I want. 

Now, these games or VNs offer varied stories, and many a time they allow branching or choosing your own adventure kind of a story allowing for different endings based on the choices you make. And yes they take full use of Adult nature and most of these VNs include sexual elements in their executions but there are so many VNs where the main focus stays on stories and I have enjoyed so many beautiful stories through these VNs that now for me Sexual interactions are no longer the primary focus for me but rather the beautiful interaction between the characters and I love reading through the lines of dialogues where people just talk about different things. 

I found these VNs during the first lockdown of the 2020s and they grabbed me immediately now I love playing these games and though there are multiple platforms the stories are told and there are different types of games and stories but my favorite is definitely VNs and I hope to enjoy reading through this medium as well. 

So while I enjoy my time the way I like you should do the same. Not the things I do but the things that give you pleasure and make sense of the world to you. The things that allow you to pass the little amount of free time you get for yourself. So then till next time.

Call it what you want

                    So I like the new update to Blogger and all the new features it has brought along. Most of all I like the new and easy way to add the new fonts to the editor earlier I had to modify the font name in HTML to use that font now I added all the wonderful fonts for use later.  I am actively using Grammarly to proofread my writing in real-time and it's a fairly good tool even in the free version.

        It's just another post for keeping the blog alive and also to share my thoughts, I am not talking about any particular issue here may be a new post for that but apart from that life is okay and lonely playing a lot of games that are more of Visual Novels than a game but I love to enjoy them and most of them have great stories and I have liked most of them and few have made me cry as well, after all, they are novels and yeah these are Adult or Porn games but they come in all shapes and sizes and I am playing the highly rated ones and have found some real gems and maybe I would share talk about them in a video or rather would create a new youtube channel for them.

           Life is strange, I know it's the name of a nice game but still, that's true as well but talking about the game Visual Novels aren't the only games I have been playing I also finished the PC version of Horizon: Zero Dawn, I had already played it on on PS4 Pro but playing it on my PC with great graphics and the faster frame rate was too good to miss. If you haven't played it then do not miss the chance and grab it on Playstation 4 or the PC, it's also fairly cheap on Steam now. Also if you haven't played the "Life is Strange" series of games them try them they are Adventure games. There are 5 games in the series and it was released in episodic form. One game "The Amazing Adventures of Captain Spirit" is available for free so there is no reason to skip that also most of the time the first episode is available for free so that you may try and then decide if you want to get further episodes or not. These games focus more on the story rather than graphics and this series of games all are based around people gaining some abilities. 

             And just like that, the update became a talk about the games but why shouldn't it this is taking most of my time nowadays more than reading after all a Visual Novel is also reading and I am reading that a lot but unfortunately can't track that on GoodReads :) I will tell you a secret I found the porn games by accident but now I enjoy their story part more than the porn part and enjoy stories in fact many games allow a decision-based storyline and I have played those games like a romantic movie and loved the experience, and then after few months playing with a walkthrough to get the best endings that's also something I do rather than struggling with myself I would rather use cheats or walkthroughs after all I have got only limited time like everyone else. Currently, I am playing "Retrieving the Past" created by MrKnobb it's again a visual novel that has been released so far in 3 seasons and it's an action-adventure visual novel with great graphics, it renders but very realistic and like most similar games there are few animations. 

         So far so long then people don't wanna keep on typing, take care and enjoy the week.

Life is Wonderful

If you know me you would know that I am a hoarder :) in mellow terms. If you want to be specific I am bookoholic and after a gap of many years I am back to being a gamer. 

Yes!!!!!! after lusting about Playstation Consoles for close to 20 years I was finally able to get one and now I am proud owner of a brand new PS4 Pro console and it is marvellous. 


My time is now wonderfully consumed by different quests or puzzles and I am happy to chase the exclusives which PS is famous for. Already finished "Heavy Rain" and "Beyond: Two Souls" and about to finish "Rise of Tomb Raider". I have already ordered the next phase of games out of which again two are exclusives. "The Last of Us - Remastered" The masterpiece now available for PS4 is as marvellous is ever just better. Then there are "Horizon - Zero Dawn" and "Injustice 2" both of which I should receive by tomorrow. 

Life is wonderful and it is made all the more wonderful by my new bookhauls which I have yet to receive but it's Fanstasy heavy. I have finally ordered "Mistborn series" by Brandon Sanderson and I am giddy with enticipation. Though I am realistic that I won't be reading them right away but at least I have got them now. Books will be discussed in other post and details about them in my book blog - Keep on Reading so check it there in few days.
