It’s going to be a roller coaster of emotions in this month’s blog update, since I’m going to be all over the place with the topics at hand. You’ll feel happy, sad, frustrated and hopeful all at the same time; so strap in for one of the more awkward blogs I’ve written in a long time!
Let’s start off with all the mainstream stuff. TubiTV is a streaming service here in the United States that operates completely free to watch. You do get occasional ads when watching (it’s how they stay in business) but otherwise it doesn’t cost you a single cent otherwise and you don’t have to sign up for any account if you don’t want to. Simply find a show or movie you are interested in and start watching. For those of you outside of the United States, any VPN server located in the US should be able to reach TubiTV without a problem. And for those of you who are curious - yes TubiTV is completely legal and above board. They are a division of FOX entertainment.
This isn’t an advertisement for TubiTV nor am I sponsored by them. I simply wanted to explain the mechanism in which I’m able to talk about the two documentaries I linked above and where you can watch them for free - wherever you are in the world. The first documentary is a “feel good” one talking about the first successful regatta won by a team of mostly novice sailors. It’s a slow burn story that picks up the more you watch it and it’s a perfect compliment to a lazy afternoon where you have some chores to finish or grinding to be done on your game of choice. I just wanted to recommend it since it has its moments of human inspiration and the classic story of the lucky underdog winning it all.
The 2nd documentary is less optimistic and more of a life lesson on perspective. It’s about a world record breaker David Shaw who finds a dead body during his attempt. He makes a vow to recover the dead body and fails to do so dying in the process; making the story ironic and tragic. This documentary can also be a little of a slow burn story wise, but it helps enforce the narrative that all of us are human beings. No matter how invincible we think we are nor how much we will things at times; life can be amazingly complex by circumstance or accident. Both of these documentaries can be watched free on TubiTV and thus I suggest you do so if you have some free time on your hands. It’s a good “yin and yang” session if you watch them back to back.
Onto gaming related material and there’s a lot of it to talk about this month. There were 2 large issues in July that affected two different audiences. The first one was related to a mobile game called Punishing Gray Raven, while the second one was related to a pc game New World. Although I hate to do this to my “read only” website viewers, there’s just way too much commentary and details for me to put into words on the site without making the blog unnecessarily long. I’m going to have to refer you over to the audio blog at the top of this post for this section as I put together everything in my own words in an audio format. You can watch the above video for commentary and perspective on the PGR situation that transpired, and you can watch the below video for a very oversimplified explanation of the New World issue in regards to potentially breaking people’s video cards.
The most important takeaway from all of the news this month is perspective and hindsight. These issues have happened in the past before, and will happen again in the future. It is as timeless as water on Earth and the air we breathe. Why I wanted to chime in on both accounts is that there was a surprising amount of chatter in regards to the issues, but not a lot of context discussed historically about similar events in the past. I explain a lot more in detail in the audio portion of the blog why I wanted to cover the topics. For the sake of brevity on the written side of things; let’s just say I wanted to throw in my own experiences dealing with similar situations and to have people realize there’s light at the end of the tunnel from all of this. If you’re only interested in the news and nothing else, I hope you found it somewhat enlightening on what people were up to this month. If you want my take in detail on the entire thing, please listen to the audio blog where I go over a lot of personal story telling.
You can attend a rock concert and go to a jazz performance while being the same person. I just wanted to throw that thought out there as I know some folks may get the wrong idea that I’m only focused on lewd anime games (as my YouTube channel would suggest). The game I’m highlighting above is called HighFleet and is an excellent example of a niche game that scratches a very particular itch. I love sci fi as well as steam punk, and this game’s art direction as well as mechanics are extremely well done. It’s hard to explain HighFleet with words, so I’m going to link a brief tutorial of the game below via a YouTube channel (above) called Sim UK. I hope you like what you see, cause it’s a very unique game for all the right reasons.

I end the update with some lewd anime stuff as always, and this time it’s related to a game I’ve been testing for over a month called Eden’s Ritter Grenze X. It’s a game available on the Fanza platform that I covered in the past and is very NSFW. I will make a mini video over on my YouTube community tab later in the month so if you’re curious you can check it out. Otherwise just enjoy the artwork and careful of that NSFW material! See you in September!
