  1. So, I had this topic open for a while, really thinking about my answer. 

    As an undergrad student in the middle of my degree and with the expectation from family to continue these studies into a master's degree, I do see myself looking for a high-end degree, ideally, I'd love to continue onto a Ph.D., make a name for myself in the academic world and dream of having an impact on the world.  

  2. Got back into minecraft but unfortunately having to play the bedrock addition so I can play with some friends, god is it awful compare to Java, it's no lacking in content, just doesn't feel right but hell it runs alot better.

    Anyway besides MC I've been planning on finally finish Hogwarts Legacy, unfortunely had to drop the game when I moved to Spain.

    Is there a section for anime reviews?

    I've tended to write mini reviews of what I've watched in the "what anime are you watching" topic, but I've not found an special section to post reviews in.  There was a topic for reviews started a while back but it didn't really get going.

    There used to be a really cool section where updates and reviews of majority of animes would be released but it died out and just became spam of unwatched, unreviewed anime titles and episode updates

  4. Going through a bit of a mental barrier with life, leaving for Spain in a few days, and hoping it will be a nice detox both physically and mentally, 

    I feel like I've thrown away so much of my teenage years with bad relationships and destroying friendships and it's just bothering me now if I'm actually on the right track or the track I want to be, if the road not taken is the better option.

    Wait, what did J.K. Rowling say on Twitter about Trans? I don't have the Twitter platform and don't use it, but you've got me curious.

    She went on a tangent about how Trans women aren't real women and that they are "men in dresses", she's been demanding that there should be women only areas excluding trans women and also retweeted and agreed with politicians who have been pushing laws that make it harder for people to tranisition, she's also basically announced that she's a terf and she's trying to push her views onto her following. 

    It's been going down since about 2019 and she's only getting worse. Hense why there was a big push to boycott Legacy even though she had no involvement and (not a major story spolier but still about the game) 

    Spoiler

    there's a trans character in the game

    but she still gets money from the game being set in the HP universe. 

    Same goes with all the fantastic beast movies. 

  6. Been playing Hogwarts Legacy early access and it brings alot of mixed feelings for me. Both seeing flaws in the game and with the controversial side of the wizarding world, I feel absolutely guilty for enjoying it and even purchasing the game. It was a long and difficult process mentally. 

    But for the game itself, it's fun, it brings the magic of the Wizarding World that so many people having been dreaming off. As a kid I always dreamed of recieving my Hogwarts acceptance letter and dreaming of being on that Qudditch field and having to run back to the castle in time for my defence against the dark arts classes, and now as a 20 year old, Hogwarts Legacy manages to at least satisfy a small part of my childhood to a certain level. 

    Though I purchased the game I want to make it clear, I do not agree with J.K Rowling or any of her views. I completely support the trans community in every way possible. I completely understand how so many people feel betrayed but her and feel that the wizarding world is no longer a safe space for many people in the LGBTQ+ Community. For me personally I'm on the side of seperating the art from the artist which I know a lot of people will disagree with but personally just because Rowling first created the world, I believe that the world belongs to the fans and millions of people who brought it to life. What J.K Rowling rants about behind a keyboard on twitter shouldn't have any power on people, and destroy their love for a huge part of their childhood.
