Wild Card Saturday!

I was planning to announce this sooner, but, as I’m sure you guessed, my ADHD @$$ got distracted.

Today, instead of streaming, I am going to create a Read Aloud, AKA. Let’s Read Some $#!7, YouTube video. For those who are new, it’s where I read aloud PORTIONS of books, for educational purposes, with the purpose being to introduce you all to additional resources regarding game development.

The PORTIONS of books read so far are:

Drawing Basics and Video Game Art by Chris Solarski
The Animator’s Survival Kit by Richard Williams
Reality is Broken: Why Games Make Us Better and How They Can Change the World by Jane McGonigal
On Writing and Worldbuilding: Volume 1 by Timothy Hickson
How to Draw and Paint Fantasy Architecture by Rob Alexander
Virtual Cities: An Atlas & Exploration of Video Game Cities by Konstantinos Dimopoulos

The above links are affiliate links.

Here’s a Bit About the “MonriaTitans & WGS” Tumblr

Above is an embedding of the “Site Map” for the Tumblr; it’s a pinned post. You should be able to find everything you need through it. If not, you can ask.

Everything posted to WordPress would have been going to Tumblr, but I don’t remember if I ever announced it. So, I am now. Here’s the road map (there are a few branches):

WordPress > Tumblr > MonriaTitans Twitter
WordPress > BEmpowering Twitter
WordPress > The Weekend Game Show Facebook Page

In addition, this Tumblr is not used solely for WGS. For time management purposes, I use it to consolidate posts from a myriad of social media accounts:

becomempowered Instagram > Tumblr > MonriaTitans Twitter
MonriaTitans Instagram > Tumblr > MonriaTitans Twitter
Artstagram > Tumblr > MonriaTitans Twitter

The Instagram accounts have their own Twitter accounts and FB Pages they post too as well, but that’s enough about links for this post.

Lastly, any post regarding The Weekend Game Show shall have the WGS Logo as the Featured Image.


WordPress Updates

For those who don’t know, I started a Twitch channel with the mission being to educate on different aspects of video game development so as to prevent another Cyberpunk 2077 scenario. Also, for the purposes of empowerment and exposure, promote artists (the links above will take you to the Twitch channel, the mission statement on Tumblr, and the artist shout-out criteria on Tumblr).

Today, I decided to start reusing my old WordPress blog for The Weekend Game Show as well so as to reach a broader audience. Just like with the Tumblr, I’m going to continue to post whatever I feel like (with this blog’s address being “opinionsandtruth”) and each post will spread to separate sites, which will allow me to work smarter instead of harder. Warning in advanced, this means there might be repeat postings. I don’t intend to do a full migration of everything on the Tumblr to the WordPress blog; that’s a headache I don’t need.

The sites I have WordPress posting to are WGS’ Facebook Page, the WGS Twitter, and, of course, the WGS Tumblr (which then posts to the MonriaTitans Twitter, which I like to call my Rantwitter, so I use the WGS Tumblr to post happier things to it).

For those who are curious, you can see the rest of my streaming links by clicking here.


Returning to WordPress is interesting, to say the least; there have been MANY changes since I last used it. I believe the last time I made a post was back in 2021 (I was beginning to add my How Far Away? series of YouTube vods to the blog (before announcing I was on Twitch/YouTube)). If I was able to set a site icon back then, I did not notice. So, I decided to use one of the WGS logos I made as the icon. I’ve been looking into other places to put it, since it was the reason I created it to begin with, but the white background is throwing off the aesthetic, so I’ll have to play with it.

And these are all the updates I have for this post. Thank you for reading. May every decision you make in the future be in the spirit of fairness and may the rest of your day NOT go to $#!7.

How Far Away? – Episode 2: Mira HQ

Hello everyone. Welcome to the second episode of my mini-series How Far Away where I go around the maps of Among Us in Freeplay to see how far away you can be before the Use, Vent, Kill, and Report buttons pop up. We are doing Mira HQ today because it is the least popular map amongst streamers I’ve watched, which makes it the less known.

If you found this helpful, please consider hitting the Follow button, but since I don’t have another game to analyze after Among Us, yet, hold off on subscribing. But, if you like to read, and want to help small business, please check out my bookshop on the site Bookshop, the Etsy for small business bookstores, of which I am an affiliate.

Also, please check out my Discord, the Titans as well as my other social media shown. And here’s where I’m calling it. Thank you all for watching, may all your decisions be in the spirit of fairness, and have a nice rest of your day.

I do not know when I will be able to make another video for I am currently having issues with the audio; everything is static.

How Far Away? – Episode 1: The Skeld

Hello everyone. Welcome to my mini-series, “How Far Away?” where I go around the maps of Among Us in Freeplay to see how far away you can be before the Use, Vent, Kill, and Report buttons pop up. This is the first episode, on The Skeld, and it appeared if you are approached a body from the North or South, you “spotted” it more quickly than you would if you were approaching from the East or West.
