Added many title art for the pages

Now the main page connect to most pages on the website (there are still some "secret" unlisted one)

Added some category to the Bedroom page

Revamped the Wind Archive (Previosly Sky Archive) to include everything in one page

that is it, man, i am so tired of my life rn qmq (hopefully it will get better)

when i'm tired i get more horny, and i cannot concentrate to my passions .m.

this time i fixed the back-end

as well as adding plenty of links for my recent blog-post

and a RSS page that sorta explain how RSS work

this time update or new blogpost should not be so dragged out

and i will be able to actually concentrate more on the actual

important stuff for this page: the content!

I also added some content in the rambling section

even if that stuff is only accessible with the RSS feed

i will probably make a dedicated page in the future

I sure made it hard for people to follow this website

Last update of the year!

I would like to update this page at least every week,

but i guess this might be impossible as i need to do stuff irl

so to solve this i finally fixed the RSS feed!

Now you can choose what to follow about this website You can find the RSS feed link in the blog page

if you want to follow just this general updates you may check the 'updates' box and copy the link

if you are interested only on my 'reviews' you may do that with the 'reviews' box etc...

Or don't check anything like before and get everything

I need to say most of the categories are quite barren

but you never know, maybe one day when i start to do some programming i might add stuff in devlog or art...

If you don't know how to set up or use an RSS feeder i suggest to watch this video

now i think this is a good video, Do not watch this man political videos though OmO.

- I re-rewritten the reviews still not the best but they are at least readable now

- I almost Finished the B&B section

- Made a new blogpost

- In general fixed some desing issue i had

yay~ so I Made some heavy UI changes and improvement in the site

- if you click the drawing in My bedroom you finally get a more complete description of them

- i finally fixed the signbook for good, i am considering a stand-alone page

- Now you can set your species for the page it will not do much for now, but who know what i might add

- I disabled a lot of CSS animation, they are cool, but testing it i noticed that they might be too demanding for some pc

- I am rewriting a lot of reviews of The Paw's Reviews, I noticed how bad they were, going through a tangent and another, to be fair, they were always the first draft, the concept is that they would have a more quick form of content for the page (like this quick update are). But they quickly spiraled down to a mess, i will still keep the length of those one as it was, but from now on i will try to make them more compact and quick to the point (I do not know if i will have the time to make each a pixelart to them though)

- Also i want to make some more personal blog-posts, since aside from the first one (that I didn't even wrote myself that jordimario guy did) all the other one are like... Stories, which are cool and still personal, but is more like stuff that happened to me, stuff that I don't understand, Sometime I feel like i want just to shout into the void, without thinking TOO much of proses.

I also finished the work for the "Wiki-like" page for B&B with Grazer, i didn't know this RP game some month ago, but that was exactly what i wanted

for my own campaign :3, in that page i summarized all the stuff that might be useful for a player

I am not sure how copyright rules works, so i will take that page down if it happen to violate them

and use only for myself and my friends, i already addressed some possible Copyright issues in the page but

TL;DR You still need the original manual to run a campaign as a GM

Anyway I might create a Github page for that, so people might add their homebrew stuff directly in there as i done for myself

as i didn't find any place to talk about B&B. or most of them are dead.

Is really a miracle that the project was founded in the first place as it seems B&B have no audiece online anymore

Even in Watership down Forum that are relatively active i don't see this being discussed

graphical changes, and for last, a Roleplay Summary for all the D&D/Pathfinder and other session

Also Grazer and I are working to a little summary for B&B

i still need to create or find some graphic and shorten some of the texts
(or downright fix some broken english =OwO=)

for now i think is alright

Introduction

Klonoa was always one of those game which I never hear talked about but most old people had played and really enjoying it and with the Announcement of their remake i was like, "oh yeah, I want to know what this series is all about!"

The Character / Mascot design,

I'm always in the mood of A fun mascot platform, and what a mascot! He looks so odd, but so cute, and I'm not gonna lie, at first I thought it was some sonic character.

Also he wear cap with pacman, so it's a certified gamer B)

He is such a cute cabbit, damn, i want to sleep under his cap while on his adventure and cuddle him at night. also i imagine him as incredibly fluffy :3

Gameplay

The Gameplay of this game is really something interesting What struck me is how despise being a platform. Your moveset is so limited, the game does not feature power-up and such

And still your knowledge of your limited moves will expand the more you advance the game oh yeah, i can grab an enemy (making them inflate for some reason) and use them to jump mid-air 'that's dumb' I say, without knowing this move can be done midair without restriction and this is where the fun begin.

I wish there would be more section when you get to do that, but that isn't as important, since the rest of the levels are astonishing crafted to fit your character, and are so satisfying to traverse that may also be thanked to the cool graphic and scenario and envelop this world

Collectable

Strolling through Phantomville, the game also feature some collectable, mostly as an incentive to exploration in an 2.5d environment where branches can change the entire prospective of the map

And back to learning your moveset as you advance in the game: one of my favorite collectable piece, it is the one in 2-1, where to get it, you need to throw an enemy below you but you can only throw enemies sideways, uh, until you notice that when you jump off you actually throw it down, and maybe is my little rat brain, but, i didn't noticed that i stayed there for at least 10 minute, and then, it clicked, and it felt great, then knowing that this interaction was necessary for future part is just such a good way

Tutorial

yeah its great that the game does not hold your hand with these all the dialogue are for Story purpose, and yep the story is pretty sweet

Story

Now without spoiler, the story is not dark, or anything but it sure have some unexpected dark moments When I make a story for children I always say to myself that

It doesn't matter how dark a story for children can get the important thing is that the story end with a good ending (which i think is a Don Bluth quote)

Which i don't know if this can be a really good ending I mean, it kind is, but it left me with some kind of void

Like, why can't i just take refuge, or hell, even live in my escapist desire is not bad, i don't have to depart, nobody is forcing me to leave, like if Klonoa had a chance I'm sure he would not have done that, right?

Fringe thought About enemies

So, where do these enemies that Klonoa can grab en come from and why they came out of these portals just to gets hopelessly get inflated? At one point i even fell bad to use them, but then i remember that, i personally would not mind being inflated by him, so maybe they are just waiting in line really.

Graphic and Visual

Damn, you would think a bunch of straight path floating in the air would look inappropriate. This game is stunning

You jump through waterfalls and lost ravines, between destroyed column, or swirly paths that cross themself midair without any of it feeling out of place.

This 2.5d approach contrast to every other old platform i had played even some 2.5d one, as most of them always felt like my character not moving in three direction as a downgrade, but here, the art and the number of path but also some claver gimmick that some level have made me actively look at the background for secret as for admiring the work it was put in

Here, well, this path just make sense, of course you can only move backward or forward, you are jumping to a broken column to another

Quick notion about the bell

One detail that i loved about one level which isn't exactly a visual one but still it doesn't impact the gameplay is that one bell on the first boss stage, it has no use, you don't even need to interact with, but still if you throw an enemy at it, the bell will interact and swing for a dong, this bell only appear on this boss stage, and they still decided to animate this one peculiar interaction, and not just, make the enemy pass-through that or just disappear, this are the little details, that make me think that the game was lovely made.

makeing this a videogame a classic.

Overall

This is Good game, 8/10.

ehmmm, some side notes

in my first playthrough i didn't really get the story but then again its probably my little rat brain to blame

it is remarkable that in the sea of platform game with furry mascots this game mange to retain is own identity even to these day i would argue. Not an easy task.

Don Bluth introduction

I don't know anything about this guy aside the anti-Disney spirit, and all.

Yet i feel like i need to watch these movie as most of the early one are regarded as some of the best western animated movie.

Still i will try my best to watch even the less good one,

Overview

%%but for now, we get to start with NIMH, which, aside for some %%problem in the third act, i really enjoyed, and animation wise this is the definition of soul.

The story is compelling and animation wise this is the definition of soul. the film feel like a grand high fantasy at moment even if all of this is setted in the backyard of a human and most of the magical stuff are like this because the story is told by the prospective of a simple mice.

We see Brisby defile it's fear, plunge it's instinct to meet the giant scary owl that might as well be a dragon.

This fantastical world is fantastical since we see it mostly by Brisby sight while getting some snippet of humans in and there to reassure the human audience that they are not evil or good, they are ignorant to this whole fantasy world in their plain sight well of course not all human are so innocent of course.

The whole feeling of this film feel cozy, while still being dark and mysterious , mostly archived also by the strange Lightning that this film utilize

So great film, but spoiler alert! I really hated the conclusion and you probably know why if you have seen the movie, like if it wasn't that good i would not even cared. BUT this is a great awesome movie and i DO care that the last part in particular the resolution is mediocre at best umu

The Rat representation

the rats representation, is also cool being involved the only real fantasy-ish stuff infected by something that even human can't understand (i think). The vibe of these new rats gave me a lot to think.

Is scary how some of my kind has lived stuff like this, at least in the film you gained intellect in the real life, you gain a cancer or something while some humans are clueless of the hurt some are very aware

if you are or were a lab rat, this film might hit you,

The Rats of NIMH

So these new evolved rats, didn't identifies themselves as rats anymore, they feel like something else, something, human? The film kinda push this idea, but not fully i think, I would argue that they are as far as rat-kind as human-kind

Because intelligence alone doesn't make you human. I am not saying I understand humanity but i do understand rats, and living without depending on other is just instinct for somebody.

I feel like the more intelligent you are the more you understand how far reaching the human hands are enveloping our fragile necks changing our lives forcefully without regard of us, like the same rats of NIMH were changed. I am not very intelligent, and i can act as cocky as i want, but i admit, each time I saw a human when i lived in the sewer my instinct just told me to run, before they kill me, or worse become their tool.

what the Rats of NIMH became were nor human nor rat, still they need to adapt in this world, where they were much more aware of the higher plane, unlike us, common animals, that we just live happily frolicking through the grasses knowing that what i am saying right now is just some jest at the concept of gods that can be easily killed by any of us.

The secret of NIMH

I wanted to talk about The reveal of the secret itself And even most of the final act...

Most of my disappointment is derived by how damn good is everything before that point

Is ok of the rats having magic-like powers due to Electricity but you can't justify a stone even an Electrical one to make a rock float, that was just an out of place deus ex machina, which didn't have to happen why instead of levitating the house, the stone gave Frisby the power to pierce through the mud and rescuing his child yeah Electricity dosen't work like that, but like, Electric is power, no?

while for the secret itself, the secret of "The secret of NIMH" is revealed by a explanation dump seeing this secret being revealed so quickly, without little the lead up to it

the shame is also seeing such interesting scene where the rats get ignejcted being explain maybe too troughly, like come on, you don't need to tell me they were suffering, i can see it!

The utter shattering of this aura of mystery around the Rat society it hurts me more than the deus ex machina, and unfortunatly due to this, I always feel to refrain in suggesting this movie to other of my kind.

Conclusion

You know even if this movie has it's flaw, I can't help but adore this film even more on second viewing, now that i already know what the secret is all about

each scene is memorable, the character of Brisby is so cool even the black Crow is not bad, as a comic relief for these kind of movie, is a nice ray of light in this story.

overall great movie, Nicodemus and the Redstone are dumb plot point, but is fine like the message or the character of this film doesn't get hindered by them i just think they are lazy story solution for an overall great movie 8.5/10

%%A quick view in the wikipedia page let me know that this movie production %%was an extremely dire, and %%was one hell of a journey %%and really is only a miracle i get to watch it today

This review was written before having reed the book which btw, the best piece of art i had experienced

What is this film about

This movie tell a story about the most awesome and fiercesome creature in existence seemingly harmless but brave warriors, this film is called "The Secret of NIMH" and they talk about Rats The best animal to ever have existed of course uwu

But then of course there is "Watership Down" a film about Rabbits, The second best animals to ever exist in my opinion

Onto Watership Down!

This is such a fantastic movie, and is maddening that people think about this film only for its gory scene I come watching this movie expecting to be traumatized but instead i came out with so much more.

Tackling theme as death and life, the very reason to continue running as a pray. Is it because we want to score some points for an hypothetical afterlife? I don't know... how about, the pure unstoppable will to live for the sake of it?

Animal don't need to reasoning on why they want to live

Through the film we see a lot of rabbit being 'alive' might be the Warren of the Shining wires Efrafa or the farm but what is the point of living inside a cage getting robbed of your own emotions

I can't blame those who are lured into this life we see through the film how brutal nature is but we also see these gory scenes intermittent with those same bunnies grazing free, an aftermath on that peaceful hill of Watership Down

The Characters

More than half of the cast is barely a character, but i don't mind those I can understand how these kind of film need some of those filler character in fact if i focus only on those character who actually have personality i find them great. Fiver your typical little afraid pray with the twist that he can kinda see the future, so his concerns are just elevated to millions which give may cool lines

Keehar who is my favorite character of this movie he is such a great character a comic relief in an otherwise quite dark movie that doesn't feel out of place

What i don't like about this otherwise masterpiece

Note, I am writing this piece of the review after a re-watch The pacing of the film is Horrible, not even being rough, plainly not good

I tried to ignore this fact, even knowing that the film tried to adapt an entire book, still.

The worse thing is that i don't really can't think of a solution to this we cut the shining wires arc? I mean Bigwig being snared is just iconic! (it is the poster art of the movie!)

But i would argue that, after reading the book, the Shining Wire arc should need a whole movie by itself to cover it properly!

And same with the Efrafa arc.

and of course the result is a really fast paced movie with a great story, great imaginary and character but may lack the deepness that it deserved especially once one read the actual book.

So yeah i strongly suggest you to read the book if you really liked this movie like me :3

Overall

Watership Down is charming movie about bunnies overcoming the hardship of nature as the whole world seem against them while they travel in the search of a new warren as their previous one was destroyed by humans.

The rabbit characters act mostly as animals, except that they talk, and animals don't communicate like that but for mostly the human part of them end there

The film is famous by having some heavy gory scene, both from humans, nature, and rabbit themselves which while they are brutal, they all serve a purpose and are not there (only) for shock value. Like most of the film is actually pretty chill, letting us see the world from the point of view of these animals

I could describe this as a story not only for humans but for every pray animal, and even hunter animals if you squint enough Still this film has some shortcoming regarding the pace, you need to have some suspension of disbelief for that as some scene might result really rushed, especially in the Efrafa part, which still

I can't raccomand this film enough, and it's a shame that most people who didn't watch this movie think at it as "that movie where rabbit get slaughtered"

9/10

this was such a nice and complete film awesome animations, quite linear but still nice story

If you have reed the NIMH review one, you would know how pissed off i was in the finale here instead we have a story that engaged a bit less with me, but it was consistent in its entirety

Ok maybe consistent is not entirely true, i do think most of the scene where they focused not on the protagonist were quite dragged, but even then, it didn't ruin the experience or made me think less of the film

The story

The story doesn't feel mouse-like you know? I reed online that these mice are supposed to be jew, and the cats the russians or something, but as an uncultured rat i don't know what's up with that. The point is the animal part is used more for an allegory rather than an actual trait of the character, so this, unlike NIMH it definitely isn't a Animal Xenofiction, kind of disappointed in that regard but i guess not all animal movie need to have an animal moral. Guess some human want to identify as us because we are just that cool.

the film still get kind of creative portraying how mice might adapt these human mannerism mice living in boxes, or stealing a ride in the ship, nothing genial but still really cute to see

The bubble scene in the ship was so cozy and fully used the size of the mice at his advantage.

Also if I want to be honest, Xenofiction or not, the fright of escaping from ravenous cats or the confusion such tiny creature might have exploring a big concrete city is palpable,i did find myself in situation like that I can totally relate with that, heck even now that i am not a stupid rat kid anymore i could find myself in a situation like that.

All this chaos and desperation properly portrayed by the sound and animation was beautiful, the scene where Fievel explore America, it's endearing, when he is alone is engulfed by confusion, but staying with other local mice make the place more comfortable, more hopeful for a better future. Yeah there are cats also in America, but here there is also a strong mice community to build, one that can help each other to fend off against them.

stuffs that i found kinda weak

it isn't bad by any mean, but the second act is kind of weak, is just, not as memorable as the first act or the third the story kind of lose itself and start to become a generic mice in big city kind of story, as the only objective that Fievel had was to find his family with the film pivoting to other character instead of progressing the story of Fievel upon rewatch, i don't even despise these secondary character, they are ok but still, they could've put Fiver in these B-plots, make those character actually interact with Fievel in meaningful manners.

Musical

Also the film as songs in it, which, cool, but I don't feel like they are much memorables, but that is ok they are listenable while you watch the movie. The one interesting thing about the inclusion musical scene is giving the movie that "Disney movie" feel i'm still conflicted by this though.

Conclusion

This is a really good film, both for adult and kids i would say there is a lack of interesting scene, there is no "Owl" scene from NIMH as most of the second act of the movie is kind of just ok still quite memorable movie, i think how this movie tell its story is overall better than NIMH but still i prefer NIMH more, just plainly because NIMH is more on the Xenofiction side and what can i say i really love my species.

still really relatable if you are a mouse or a rat even if the story isn't necessarily about mice being mice 8.5/10

Kids need more films like these.
