  Cosmic Star Heroine  It's been a long time coming but I've finally played Cosmic Star Heroine . I was around for this game before it released and even got to talk to one of the developers on ResetEra back in 2017. Cosmic Star Heroine is developed by Zeboyd Games. This indie JRPG pits you in the role of Alyssa, a space secret agent as she uncovers that her agency has created an unethical mind control device. Cosmic Star Heroine is inspired by the SNES/Sega era of JRPGs like Chrono Trigger, Phantasy Star IV, and Lunar: Eternal Blue. For the genre this is a relatively short game. I ran over just 14 and a half hours in my playthrough, but it might just be me and where I am currently but it felt like a full game length like a Final Fantasy and it took me about three weeks to finish it just like a FF.   Cosmic Star Heroine is also fast paced in correspondence to its length.

In 2018 we finally got the first black superhero Black Panther on the silver screen. We got Sorry to Bother You in the same year, See You Yesterday , and Fast Color for a few others not long after. Jordan Peele also brought his second feature film US in 2019. The public reception on this is mixed thou...

  Everything Everywhere All at Once is a different film. It's unique. In fact, this might be the most unique film my eyes and ears ever witnessed.  Last Tuesday I went to the mall to get away from the confines of my home and to buy a pair of jeans. I stopped momentarily in a Macy's and sat my bag down when I saw a mirror. I just checked myself out in the mirror and fixed myself and then went over to a Starbucks to my surprise was in the Macy's. I talked to the baristas and speculated on my order when two men approached me and told me to remove the perfume in my bag. Neither of these men were in any kind of uniform. One of the men said you can either go to jail today or take out the perfume. I told them I didn't have anything and the man said "okay," and then the two of them left and got on their phones. The whole situation made me uncomfortable and after I got my lemonade loaf from Starbucks I immediately headed out the mall. No police to meet me anywhere. I ...
