Opinions & Truth | O&T

"Opinions are like testicles. You kick them hard enough, doesn't matter how many you got."
- Varric Tethras, Dragon Age II"Human rights" are NOT an opinion; to NOT believe everyone should be granted the same opportunities on equal and equitable footing is to fail the world.MonriaTitans™️, pronounced Mon-Rye-Uh, is the overarching brand, the umbrella, for the Opinions & Truth™️ (O&T™️) blog, The Weekend Game Show (WGS), and TitansMonriArt™️ (TMA™️).On O&T and social media, I discuss whatever I feel like at the time, from politics to books, video games, TTRPGs, neurodiversity, and more.To further assist with the above, I have opened up a bookshop, powered by Bookshop.org, the Etsy for small business bookstores, called the Rendezvous Point, which has a little bit of everything in it! Every so often, I do a Let's Read Some $#!7! video where I read aloud PORTIONS, emphasis on portions, for DMCA and Copyright reasons, of a couple of books regarding video games, their creation, their impact on the world, to show the legitimacy of video games as an artistic medium. And/or whatever I feel like reading at the time. In addition, I also hope to promote literacy as a whole!I am, also, sharing photos of my book collection, which I call The Neverending Reading List (NRL), for fun and to promote literacy! Check out the photos of the most recent ones shared below along with my Mini-Book Reviews and other opinion posts!With WGS, I share my opinions on video games and educate on their development, while giving human artists shout-outs and sharing quotes based on the Theme of the Month to draw attention to a cause (more in the WGS section).And, with TMA, I share my view of the world with visuals.If the above topics interest you, check out the links to the left and the sections below!

The Weekend Game Show | WGS

"You may not like video games, but what I learned from them is this: no enemies in front of you means you are going the wrong way."
- UnknownThe Weekend Game Show (WGS) was established to educate on and discuss video game development, and to show why they can take years to make, to prevent another Cyberpunk 2077 launch scenario.Everything going on with the launch of Cyberpunk 2077 had me thinking if players had a better understanding of what goes into the development of a game, there wouldn’t be so many people becoming furious, and toxic, in response to delays.In addition, I give Artist Shout-Outs (ASO) to human artists to combat AI's spit. | All rights reserved by the artist(s). | #createdontscrapeCheck out the most recent ASOs below!Lastly, I share educational quotes, every Wednesday, for the Theme of the Month (TOTM) around a cause; currently, it is National Adoption Month, so I am directing people to Foster Love while sharing quotes regarding adoption.If the above topics interest you, check out the links to the right!

To Support WGS or the ASOs

The Weekend Game Show (WGS) has two Ko-fis associated with it:One is for supporting the show directly, and the other is for assisting in boosting the Artist Shout-Outs on social media.Stating the obvious, so it's in the ether, monetary support is not required but is very much appreciated!I hide NOTHING behind a paywall due to my belief if people want to support me, they will AND we live in a fucked up world where we have to pay for what we need. Fun is a need. Have fun.

To Support O&T

15% of all proceeds from Buy Me a Coffee go to Kids Need to Read to help the fight against illiteracy!I share educational quotes to promote literacy and the legitimacy of video games as an artistic medium.To provide educational resources, I also read aloud PORTIONS of books, then upload the videos to YouTube, O&T, and BMAC.The ASOs and my poetry are displayed on BMAC as well!The rest of the tips from BMAC will go towards books and being able to live.They're the same thing, really...

To Support TitansMonriArt

The support from this Ko-fi will go towards upgrading tools, self-promotion, and being able to live.The current goal, however, is a new MacBook Pro Docking Station.I was part of the original KickStarter for the docking station. My old one has been with me since 2020, but it is no longer recognizing the cables attached to it. It deserves a proper burial, but, without it, I am down to one monitor and the Mac's keyboard.I can't stand it.
Please, help.For those curious about it,
