It’s been a little over six years since Breath of the Wild landed on the Wii U and Nintendo Switch. The Wii U’s swansong and the Switch’s opening bow was a glorious masterpiece, an epic experience, and it reinvigorated the Zelda franchise by restoring it to its wonderful open-world roots. It’s been around four years […]
Inspired by an old debate on this subject (I figured old posts could be useful prompts), I thought I’d look at the world of faith healing, and whether or not there is any merit to the idea. Faith healing has existed in some form or another since antiquity. The ancient Greeks and Egyptians are among […]
If the Roman Empire never fell, the world would be drastically different today, as the influence of Roman civilization can still be felt in many aspects of modern society. Here are a few possible ways the world might look: Overall, it is impossible to predict exactly how the world would be different if the Roman […]
I shouldn’t… but I’m gonna share this anyway.
Recently, I have read a lot of claims that the USA’s Democrats are best described as Marxist. Marxism is defined as ‘a social, economic and political philosophy that analyses the impact of the ruling class on the laborers, leading to uneven distribution of wealth and privileges in the society.’ To be Marxist, you’d want to […]
What tattoo do you want and where would you put it? After much deliberation on this one, I have reached an answer: The ideal location would be the left forearm, but my Timon tattoo, whilst not exactly in the way, has a tail that loops around and creates interference. Consequently, Jedi Mario might end up […]
Featured photo is PayPal’s logo, which is in the public domain. Good morning, knotty crew. After a day of reflection, I’m back with some new content. In the past 24 hours, I see there’s been yet another mass shooting. And the anti-abortion wars continue to rage in my homeland, putting more and more women at… Sleazy […]
What is one word that describes you? Hmm. I’d say ‘eccentric’. I imagine others will have different adjectives in mind.
You’re going on a cross-country trip. Airplane, train, bus, car, or bike? I might have already done a similar prompt, and lord knows I’ve waffled about trains before, but to answer the question: I’d choose the train for any form of cross-country trip. Why? Because it’s the most relaxing and most scenic form of travel […]
It’s finally here! The Super Mario Bros Movie has been 30 years in the making. There is a legacy of redemption here, after the 1993 movie deterred Nintendo from using their products for TV and movies for decades. After such a lengthy wait, my eagerness for this new film could not be overstated. There was […]
In the not so distant future, I will have been blogging at Meerkat Musings for TEN years. That's sort of scary. I never set out to reach a milestone like that, but ten years on, Meerkat Musings feels like my home-on-the-web, so to speak. #BloggingCommunity
