I learnt about a new art style (Journal)

Journal Entry by Warren Woodhouse

Today, I learnt of a new art style called sumi-e, which is a Japanese art style using rice paper and soot based ink using just a reference of a landmark, scenery, landscape, animal or object and nothing else. The emptiness space of the rest of the artwork is to help bring calmness and ease to the creator.

Scam Alert: On Topup (Alerts)

Scam Alert Notification

Service: On Topup

Type: Financial Fraud; Phishing

Details: CLICK HERE for reports


Report by Warren Woodhouse

This service is a scam. EE, a well known mobile network service here in the UK, use On Topup. It’s a total scam. They allow you to top up your mobile phone with an email confirmation but ultimately no payment is received to your phone and your money is then subsequently stolen by them. This has happened a few times, so I can definitely confirm that it’s a scam.

Rooster Teeth are back under independent ownership! (News)

 As of this March 2025, Burnie Burns bought back the ownership rights of one of the oldest long-running web series podcast, Rooster Teeth, from its then owner Warner Bros., who acquired the website in 2019 from the podcast team. It’s not loud like it used to be but it’s still wise and very humble. A worthy listening experience.

Mission Impossible Achievement - Egg, Inc. Guide

 

In order to earn this achievement, you just need to complete all of the challenges in the Challenges tab section on the main screen of the game. The challenges for every single egg up to the Dilithium egg.

Not exactly a platinum trophy but it’s my first iOS game l’ve fully completed, taking me 4 months of grinding on an idle clicking game called Egg, Inc.

As far as idle clicking games go, this one has some cool features: AR for putting your egg farm on any table or any flat surface, which is interesting for gameplay. You occasionally get upgrades for your farm at ample opportunities, you can use them to upgrade buildings and such, using special purple eggs to create unique farm looks. 9/10 for what it’s giving me.

Assassin’s Creed: Mirage Review (Game Reviews) (Reviews)

 Review by Warren Woodhouse

Rating: 6 stars

Before the credits rolled, including the credits that would included 16 hours since the credits is an hour long and it felt like they mentioned everyone who works at Ubisoft, not just the ones who worked on the game, literally everyone! It doesn’t help that some enemies are more powerful than you even in lower difficulty settings however it does feel much better, less tedious with collecting collectibles. I didn’t like the contract quest “The Marked Coins” as the NPC always outruns you, even in 30 fps, in order to gain 100% for the game, this was necessary to complete. Took 7 tries for that. The story needs more padding though, felt lifeless in a majority of the storytelling, which is sad. Otherwise, can’t find any faults. Love the fact that they listened to the majority of us when we didn’t want to lose out on DLC content, they included the DLC quests as downloadable content in the Ubisoft Connect rather than the store, which is a great way for us not to miss out on stuff. They streamlined the Discovery Tour, which is now in the base game as is, love that they done that. I didn’t like that they didn’t include enough Isu references like Apples of Eden and Vaults, there were a few Vaults though. They didn’t even allow us to escape the simulation via an Animus, only referring to it in a cinematic experience at the beginning of the game and as the Assassin Focus feature. Would still love to see references to the Animus since the first game had it and most of the franchise has it. The only games not to feature the Animus are Unity, Syndicate and now Mirage. However, I did enjoy the game though, certainly a refreshing experience in comparison to Odyssey and Valhalla.
