A Month of Daily Use, An iPhone 15 Pro Max Experience and Review

It has been at least a month since I have gotten the latest iPhone from Apple. I got myself a 512gb Natural Titanium iPhone 15 Pro Max from the Power Mac Center during its official country release. Coming from the iPhone 11 Pro Max, I'd say this new phone is a much needed upgrade. DO NOTE : This is not a paid ad and these are my own thoughts, opinions and experience with the iPhone. You may have a experienced things differently compared to my first month, but this is to inform potential buyers what they can expect from the smartphone experience of someone upgrading their daily driver. Without further ado... Here is my experience and review of the new iPhone 15 Pro Max!

A Game Worth Giving a 2nd Chance: Marvel Snap Review

Marvel Snap, a digital collectible card game with the Marvel Intellectual Property (IP). I played it during launched and was not impressed by its gameplay. It initially felt like a digital clone of Smash Up, a popular tabletop deckbuilding game. The gameplay loop is: you mix and match cards to make synergy and take control of locations for points. My early impression of it was clearly negative, because I felt like they used the Marvel IP as a way to suck money out of its fanbase. With its lackluster gameplay and somewhat repetitive gameplay back then, I immediately uninstalled the game. Now, more than a year later, I decided to pick it up again and wow, I was so wrong with my first impression! If it survived a year in a time where competitive game turnovers are rampant, there must be something special about it. How did I end up picking it up again? Like every gaming itch, I was bored and I was looking for a new game to play. I scrolled through Twitch and I saw that the game still had a...

In a time where gacha games are redundant cash grab garbage, there are still gems waiting to be found. Among the newly released titles is Reverse: 1999, a story driven turn based gacha rpg, which boasts great art and an all-star cast of voice actors.

Just a moment of your time will do, as I want to share some of my thoughts and opinions on Reverse: 1999. So, join me as I dive into a review of the game! The Story and Art Without spoiling the story too much, you take the role of Vertin, a time keeper (sorry no self inserts here), in a world where time goes backwards, with reasons beyond known in the beginning. Your job is to save society and brave the storm (an anomal...
