Follow-Up Recap: I Was Wrong on Digital Circus, and What We Got Instead

(First posted June 5th 2026 8:24 A.M. EST) I have few words to offer this one. I was wrong. Every writing pitfall that I factored the ending would need to swerve from, the show "Digital Circus" drove straight into by the end, because it also did something I didn't fully account for; pridefully insist and double-down that what they did instead is good, and great, and "for-the best" all at the same time. Spoilers of course. I thought the grand reveal would be that the digital world existed as a necessary item that the characters had to use for being frozen-in-cyrosleep for space-travel, on an emergency journey, to keep from becoming braindead. The writing would dictate that the characters are real people with a purpose, because, by any other conceivable means, it would be unfathomably cruel to create exact digital copies of yourself to live in a computer for eternity, and unfathomably wicked to do so deliberately and without good purpose. We don't get a purpos...

Amazing Digital Circus Final Episode Theory - "Pomni in Space" - I figured It Out And They Didn't

4-8-2026, 2:25 P.M. EST  Good wonderful-afternoon all, I was hoping to borrow use of my own blog to deploy a theory I had, on a nerdy nerd show that has fallen into my purview. For any friends and family from life that have found my blog, feel free to ignore. I had tried, as most digital nomads of this age oft do, to post this content on Reddit, but the subreddit I haplessly picked (r/TheDigitalCircus), bans all posts on accounts younger than 5 days old (without telling people that prior), prevents mod-mailing to accounts younger than 5 days (giving anyone up to five days' to steal your groundbreaking essay), has no discord or other means to litigate off-platform, and then Reddit adds your full essay into their plagiarism-checker to ban you for your own stuff for trying to fiddle it and repost elsewhere. The sock-account-quasi-real-account that I made for this purpose got deleted by Reddit proper and those appeals can take forty days, so I am left bereft and as another unlucky suck...

I watched Willy's Wonderland

Image
 Originally written 2/17/21, published 4/27/21 And what a strange movie it is. Just to throw some life into my very-quiet blog I figured I'd discuss some thoughts off the most recent Nicholas Cage movie, the direct-to-pay-per-view "Willy's Wonderland." Its runtime is an hour and thirty minutes, and currently costs about $20 to stream it on Redbox On-Demand, Prime Video, and several other sites, or about 20 minutes of your time if you decide to try and figure out how to pirate/unofficially stream the thing. It's ok. I think I'd be doing any and all readers a disservice even in just saying what *isn't* in this movie, so if this looks like a fun movie you'd be interested in seeing, then consider this as a spoiler warning. You should be able to know where to find this film, and here's the trailer if you haven't seen that yet, so maybe check those things out first. Last warning! Willy's Wonderland apparently ran on a budget of 5 million dollars...

Pillars of Eternity - Definitive Edition: Impressions, Criticisms and Review

Image
Published by Obsidian Entertainment. Original release date: March 26th, 2015. Definitive Edition release date: November 15th, 2015.Price: $29.99 MSRP.  Current Steam Sale : $7.49.  Current Epic Games Sale : $9.99 (with coupon.) This article has also been published on Tumblr.com ( Mirror Link ) 12/23/20 Over the past week or so, as a part of the  Epic Games Free Game of the Week  promotion, I’ve picked up  Pillars of Eternity - Definitive Edition  for free and have been playing it on its Normal difficulty almost nonstop ever since. This being the second video game by Obsidian I have played (the first one being  Outer Worlds --releasing four years after  Pillars  had its original release), I felt it appropriate to share some of my thoughts over the quality and experience of this game, comparisons I have made, and some other miscellaneous observations. It’s worth prefacing this with that I have not fully completed a run through this game and hav...
