Hi! I'm CK from the internet! (self-promotion thread)

So I write a lot. About basically every bit of media I consume. I'd say that after spending most of my life online that the act of writing is now part of my thought process: it's hard for me to say quite how I feel about something until I've put words to type to work on it.

For a few years I've been using a basic blogspot as a repository for a lot of it, in particular stuff about cartoons (be it movies or series). That'd be here: https://cmdrking.blogspot.com/

And in recent weeks I've been trying to section off the less "immediate reaction" type posts into another space mostly so three paragraphs of me having nothing to say about a ten year old DC Animated film isn't sharing space with a four page essay about the defining attributes of jRPGs. So those found their way over to medium in the past couple months: https://medium.com/@cmdrking

Largely I expect to just post new things here as they get written, but hey if by some strange coincidence anyone here reads and wants to comment this is a perfectly good space to do so.

So my genre is kinda jRPGs, and I've been chipping at talking about one of the more divisive ones I'm a big fan of. And by chipping I mean I needed to talk about other concepts to even approach it, so to that end, here's a lot of words about Dragon Quest V and how it uses the old cliche of Silent Protagonist

Wherein I talk about Fire Emblem, and touch on how player agency and themes interact in weird ways when the agency is entirely a narrative hook.

Octopath Traveler was really quite good, enough so I went through for Meaning tm and found some stuff.

Many, many words about Kingdom Hearts, Xenogears, and how I picked my name.

Maybe this thread will fail more than the record collection thread. I figured maybe you get a record or something cool you can post it here, or a cool bosstones shirt or something.....
Oh well.

huh?

CmdrKing pulls his weight around here just fine. He doesn't need validation. Or at least that's the impression I get.
