She only arrived a few weeks ago, she was in the other class originally why did they move her over here.” The latest episode of Ethan’s failing love life involved Drama, quite literally. Kaylee had been moved to our class for […] - [Continuous School Chapter 17: Failed Observation](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/continuous-school-chapter-17-failed-observation/): [Thursday, After School] Part of the school experience is falling in love. Love is kinda cliché but also really interesting. When someone gets asked to meet them after school in private you know that something is happening. That is exactly what’s happening here. Sean was asked to meet after school by some cute girl. Obviously, as his trusted friends we must look after him and make sure it isn’t a trap, we care for him sometimes. Which brings us to the current moment in time. “Why are we doing this again.” Ethan wondered. “Because it’s juicy love gossip, just because you’ve […] - [Continuous School Chapter 16: Failed Confession](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/continuous-school-chapter-16-failed-confession/): [Thursday, After School] Part of the school experience is falling in love, you meet tons of new people at school so why not also look for love. It’s cliche to have an experience where there is a younger year student confessing to a student they look up to in the year above, but that is exactly what is happening here. In the morning Sean was approached by a rather cute girl in the year below asking him if he would wait after school for her. Sean wasn’t the type of person to refuse, he would often hear people out before questioning […] - [Continuous School Chapter 15: Nickname Pars](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/continuous-school-chapter-15-nickname-pars/): [Thursday, Registration] There was a strange topic floating around the whole of the classroom this morning, personally, I think rumours suck, although I do enjoy hearing them, even though they can be very destructive, they are still fun. “So…. Did you hear?” Ethan sat down at his chair initiating the conversation immediately, that’s how big this rumour had gotten. “I’ve heard ancient whispers but nothing concrete. What do we know?” “I heard that guy is coming back.” “That guy?” “That guy!” “That guy?” “That guy!” Ethan and I stared into each other, the stare was so intense that rumours say a […] - [Continuous School Chapter 14: The Dumps](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/continuous-school-chapter-14-the-dumps/): [Tuesday, Lesson 2 –  Computer Science] Yesterday’s events were a shock to all of us. On the way home from school I treated Ethan to some food at the local fast food joint whilst I listened to him cry into his milkshake. Luckily for Sean, he didn’t have to hear any of it, we both expected Ethan to skip today and just stay at home. Instead between us in a giant pile of depression curled up and morphed to look like a human teen. “So, why didn’t you stay home?” “I tried to fake sickness but my sister started to cry […] - [Continuous School Chapter 13: The Transfer Student Part 2](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/continuous-school-chapter-13-the-transfer-student-part-2/): [Monday, Lesson 5 – L4L] Back in good old L4L and it was my turn for the topic, or at least it would be if some love-struck idiot didn’t abandon us and leave our table to talk to her. “So I guess it’s just us today Sean…” “It’s kinda upsetting to see him move on, you know they say you lose a few friendships when you get in a relationship.” The words that just came out of Sean’s mouth shocked me, never in the 5 years, I’ve known him have I ever heard him say something that smart. Maybe he is […] - [Continuous School Chapter 12: The Transfer Student Part 1](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/continuous-school-chapter-12-the-transfer-student/): [Monday, Registration] It’s a bit of a weird time in the year for someone to transfer in, you don’t really see that many people who want to transfer schools in Year 11 because of how close it is to exams. Either way, this girl decided to transfer in for some reason. I guess the writer just wanted to introduce a new character in such a cliche way. “Hi everyone, My name is Kaylee and I hope we all get along for the remainder of the year!” There didn’t seem to be anything special about her, she looked like a typical teenager. […] - [Gang Wars Chapter 5: The Dagger](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/gang-wars-chapter-4-the-dagger/): After the video ended Scott and I waited around for hours in dead silence before April returned. “What happened in here then? Why the heavy atmosphere.” “We found out more information about ‘The Claws’, the only issue is it came with yet another threat.” “No surprise there, what happened.” “We have a lead on ‘Owl’, we can confirm he is definitely one of the generals. I would assume he is situated inside the capital. They already know that we are coming and have probably prepared a welcoming party for us.” “I see. That’s good, I called another one of our friends […] - [Continuous School Chapter 11: Time Travel](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/continuous-school-chapter-11-time-travel/): [Friday, Lesson 5 – English] “If you could travel to the past, ANY TIME IN THE PAST, where would you go?” Back in English and Ethan was asking me a good question that everyone has their own opinion of. “I don’t think I would go back and stop some sort of tragedy, don’t know what that would do to the timeline. Plus I don’t want to be famous.” “I get you, I get you. But let’s say that no matter what you do you will always exist, so even if you killed your parents when they were younger you will still […] - [Continuous School Chapter 10: Physical Education](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/continuous-school-chapter-10-physical-education/): [Friday, Lesson 3 – PE] Thank god Friday was finally here, just had to get through today and then I can sleep for the whole of the weekend, I’m not going to ever leave my bed. I’m just going to die and pass out into a sea of dreams. However, before I could embrace my death I had to deal with death on a physical level first. Physical Education or as it was known PE. A subject involved around sport and staying active. Most people don’t even get a qualification out of it. For most, it’s just a lesson to be […] - [Twitter Account [Update 16/04/2019]](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/twitter-account-update-16-04-2019/): Hey everyone, Quick update today, I have just created a twitter account. This account will be used to post announcements, delays, schedule changes and such. It’s not meant to be a ‘personal’ Twitter account, but if people had questions about anything story related or anything they just want to say and share I shall try my best to read and reply to them. My Twitter account is linked below so please give a follow if you wish. https://twitter.com/SlippyfopS - [Gang Wars Chapter 4: The Owl](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/gang-wars-chapter-4-the-owl/): After escaping his flat Kyle needed to get to his old base for The Cassettes, the base was located on the outskirts of the capital and was easy to get to from where he currently was. Before heading to the old base Kyle stopped and approached a phone booth that hadn’t been used in a while. He looked around to make sure no one was suspicious of him before making a phone call. “…. Hello?” “Scott? Is that you?” “Kyle? Is it really you? We all thought you abandoned us and died.” “Come on you know me, I won’t die that […] - [Continuous School Chapter 9: Romeo and Juliet](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/continuous-school-chapter-9-romeo-and-juliet/): [Thursday, Lesson 3 – Drama] “OH ROMEO, ROMEO, WHERE ARE YOU, MY DUDE?” Ethan exclaimed at the top of his lungs. “Yeah… I’m pretty sure you read the script wrong.” I told him. “Why do I have to be Juliet? Ruby is in our group why can’t she be Juliet?” “Because somehow Ruby is more masculine compared to you. Don’t take it personally but Ruby doesn’t seem like a Juliet to me.” “And who are you playing again?” Ethan Asked. “Are you retarded? I’m Romeo, you better be ready for the kiss scene.” “I’d rather die.” “Right losers listen up.” Ruby […] - [Continuous School Chapter 8: The Tales of Drizz and Gang Episode 1](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/continuous-school-chapter-8-the-tales-of-drizz-and-gang-part-1/): [Thursday, Registration] As I was walking into our regular classroom one Thursday morning I took one step through the door and was instantly transported to a forest. The trees in the forest were as tall as mountains, the sun was blocked by the branches but slight gaps allowed it to beam through illuminating parts of the ground. “Ah, Owen you’re here too.” Ethan appeared from nowhere. “What’s going on, why have we been teleported into a random forest?” “I don’t know, this was Sean’s idea, he came up with this campaign.” “Stop breaking the illusion, Ethan.” Just like Ethan, Sean magically […] - [Gang Wars Chapter 3: The Trap](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/gang-wars-chapter-3-the-trap/): Surprisingly, this wasn’t the first time I’ve had a ton of guns pointed at my head, what we do is dangerous work and we are prepared to die at any moment. There are three ways this can go, 1. I talk them down 2. We escape 3. We die. Let’s hope we don’t have to meet the third option. “Come on now guys, no need to point guns at us we are just trying to enjoy a nice cup of coffee and cake…” BANG Before I could do anything, a bullet flew past my face grazing the side of my cheek, piercing […] - [Continuous School Chapter 7: Science](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/continuous-school-chapter-7-science/): [Wednesday, Lesson 3 – Science] Science was one of those lessons where we are all back together for some reason, don’t know how it worked out like this but it did. The worst part about science, is we are always put at other ends of the room. We used to sit next to each other but because of Sean messing up an experiment and burning off the teachers eyebrows we were forced to be separated, we’ve tried convincing them why we should be allowed to sit next to each other, but apparently according to the teacher there is no condition that […] - [Continuous School Chapter 6: Rock, Paper, Scissors](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/continuous-school-chapter-6-rock-paper-scissors/): [Tuesday, Lunch] Just like every lunch, it was calm for us, we just normally stood around by the usual tree behind the school’s canteen and talked about video games or something whilst eating, but somedays we have moments like this. “GUYS! LET’S PLAY ROCK PAPER SCISSORS!” Sean projected with a ridiculous amount of enthusiasm for someone of his age. “why…” Ethan said suspiciously. “Because It’s fun, we can have a little competition and the loser has to buy the others a drink.” We were silent for a minute thinking if we should agree. Ethan was probably thinking really hard about wanting […] - [Gang Wars Chapter 2: The Date](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/gang-wars-chapter-2-the-date/): After the encounter with Tom last night I managed to convince April to let me go back to my flat for the day. There is just one small problem with that. “Why did you come along?” “You never know when someone might attack, it’s best if we stick together, plus it’s my family’s car.” Well, I guess she wasn’t wrong, but it’s going to be really annoying bringing her into my flat. “Why did you decide to go to university anyway?” “Some of us aren’t born with a family that makes billions, some of us actually need to work to survive.” […] - [Continuous School Chapter 5: Ruby](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/continuous-school-chapter-5-ruby/): [Tuesday, Lesson 1 – Music] Tuesday mornings was a time where I split up from Ethan and Sean. The first lesson of the day was Music, I enjoyed studying music, I liked playing the piano, it brings me peace. However, one thing that doesn’t bring any peace to me at all is Ruby. A talented brat with ‘Ruby’ coloured hair, I guess she dyed it to fit her name. This girl is also in our Form, but I can avoid her during Registration by talking to the others. Ruby decided to pick all the Expressive Art based subjects, and annoyingly for […] - [Continuous School Chapter 4: L4L](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/continuous-school-chapter-4-l4l/): [Monday, Lesson 5 – L4L] If there was ever one subject that was completely pointless, it would be Learning 4 Life. A subject about common sense and how to survive in the real world. Lucky for us this was a subject where we were back as a Form group, meaning ‘the weird group’ is back in business. “So guys, Let’s get down to the usual…” Sean leads the weekly meetings, this was an important time for us. We always looked forward to this every week, the topic of discussion is decided at the end of the session, but because of summer, […] - [Gang Wars Chapter 1: The Claws](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/gang-wars-chapter-1-the-claws/): “I wanted to escape all this. There was a reason I ran away and hid my identity.” “Don’t be ridiculous, There is no way you could escape from me, my love.” “So you still haven’t moved on? I thought for sure you would be angry at me for betraying you” “Ah that’s right, I’m meant to be angry at you. Doesn’t matter anyway the car is here to pick us up.” An armoured car came from around the corner perfectly on cue, as expected from one of the richest families in the world, their wealth never fails to amaze me. The […] - [Schedule Changes/The Next Project [Update 24/03/2019]](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/schedule-changes-the-next-project-update-17-03-2019/): Hey all, So I decided that I just wanted to post a little update for you all. Starting tomorrow I will be starting my first “big” project that will be around 20 chapters long.  Although Continuous School will definitely last longer, these chapters are longer (slightly) and follow one central story (I guess is how to explain it) basically I’m writing a story that you would expect to find in a book shop, but I’m aware that it will never be good enough to be in a book shop. The current issue I’m facing is the consistency with chapters, reading back […] - [Continuous School Chapter 3: The First Lesson](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/continuous-school-chapter-3-the-first-lesson/): [Monday, Lesson 1 – English] One thing I never understood about English, is why is it called ‘English’. It’s a lesson where you study and talk about poems or books and how to write articles. So why not call it something cooler sounding like ‘The Hardcore Past of British Writers and how to stay awake for an hour.’ The name just rolls off the tongue don’t you think? “Hey, Owen… can I ask you a question” This was how English always went, and I enjoyed it greatly. Ethan would start off the lesson by asking me some weird scenario and we’d […] - [The Outside World (Short Story)](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/the-outside-world-short-story/): In this world, Superpowers exists. People are either born with or without them, you don’t get a choice. There are many different powers, from fire manipulation to being able to turn into a smoke monster, there is no limit to what power you can have. When you are born your power typically manifests itself within the first few years. There is no common pattern to what power you’ll get, it appears to be random, but that doesn’t stop them. In this world, there are many different groups. From the typical superheroes to the usual villains all using these Superpowers in any […] - [Continuous School Chapter 2: The Weird Group](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/continuous-school-chapter-2-the-weird-group/): [Monday, Registration] The first day at school is always the worst, people constantly chatting about what they got up to over the summer, I don’t care what people did over summer, I just want the year to end already. “Hey, Owen? What did you do over summer” Ethan asked. “Well, Ethan. The usual, went fishing with the fam, scaled a mountain, jumped out a plane, swam in the sea, got eaten by a shark, fought the devil, returned to earth, wanked, slept and now I’m here.” Ethan stared at me blankly, looking at me as if I thought he was an […] - [Death Day Part 2 [END]](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/death-day-part-2-end/): After getting the food we decided to sit down inside the cafe, my friend was talking but I couldn’t understand any of it. I was too distracted, constantly watching the entrance. No one was entering, we were all alone inside. The people behind the counter had disappeared. It was silent, I could only hear my heartbeat. “I have to get out of here” I kept thinking to myself, trying to think of a place to hide. My friend stopped talking and just stared at me blankly like the people before. I don’t know what to do, I tried to run away […] - [Continuous School Chapter 1.5](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/continuous-school-chapter-1-5/): Below are the lesson timetables for Owen, Sean, and Ethan. Along with the timetable is also character information and a little (bad) drawing on the three.     I’ll apologise for my mediocre drawings but this is something that I thought would be interesting to do as I think it fits the series well. I will try and do this whenever a new character is introduced, and who knows, maybe my art skills will get better. Typically the timetable and profile will be at the end of the chapter the person is introduced in but if there are multiple I’ll do […] - [Continuous School Chapter 1: School Introductions](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/continuous-school-chapter-1-school-introductions/): [Monday, Registration] At around the age of 15, you start to think about a lot of different things. Not only do we have to focus on our exams, but the main thing for a lot of people is love. Everyone wants to fall in love at some point, it’s the reason we exist, so we can continue our bloodline… but I guess when you word it like that it does sound kinda creepy. I’ve been in the same class as some of these people for years now and I’ve gotten to know a bit about everyone. Most of the girls go […] - [Death Day Part 1](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/death-day-part-1/): If someone told you that you would suddenly die, would you believe them? Would you stay away from everything? Would you live the remainder of the day as if it was your last? What if they could prove it to you? What if you believed them? Only an idiot would believe them. So why did I? … I don’t remember what day it was, I was walking to see a friend from school. I got to a crossing and had to stop and wait for the light turn green, then he approached me. A normal looking guy, who was wearing a […] - [New Series [Update 1/03/2019]](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/new-series-update-1-03-2019/): Hello everyone, Usually I would be updating on Tuesday’s but instead, I am bringing you an update on a Friday instead. The reason for this is because of a new weekly series that will be released on Fridays. The Weekly Tuesday posts are still going to happen but now you will also be getting something else on Fridays. Basically, let me explain. Recently I’ve been working on ways to come up with more content, I wanted to post more frequently. To do this, I will be posting a new weekly series on Fridays. Each chapter in this series will be a […] - [Train Journey (Short Story)](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/train-journey/): “What if…” “What if what?” I had been sitting on this train for a while, looking out the window, watching the world go by. I was so absorbed that I didn’t notice someone sit down opposite me. “Excuse me… You just said what if?” I take this train every day, but I’ve never seen someone like her before. “Sorry, don’t mind me, just daydreaming.” When did she sit down opposite me? “Daydreaming? What were you thinking about?” she asked, but I don’t think she cared that much. “Just about things.” “What things?” She was very persistent, I could tell she wasn’t […] - [Exam Preparation (Short Story)](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/exam-preparation-short-story/): April 25th, exams start in May. I’ve been preparing for this since last year, I’ve spent countless nights staying up when I can and studying, whilst also working a part-time job to make sure I have enough money for food the next day. Maths is the first exam, I should be fine. That’s my best subject; I need to get an A in maths, which is around 70%. 1 paper. 150 marks. 80 questions total. If I get anything less, I’ll have to retake. April 25th, even if I fail my exams, I’ll just take over the family business, not that […] - [Welcome, Everyone!](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/welcome-everyone/): Hey all and welcome to my new blog. This is something I’ve wanted to do for some time, basically, let me explain the story behind it. If you don’t know me, my name is Owen, you can find out more in the ‘About Me’ section. So, this blog is basically a place for me to write stories, now I’m going to start by saying I have ZERO experience writing, I was terrible at English exams and writing in general, but this is something I want to give a go. I am a huge fan of Japanese Manga and Anime and have […] - [Writing my novel: 'Alterum: The Mineral Continent'](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/premium-writing-my-novel-alterum-the-mineral-continent/): Welcome back to another “Writing my…” where I discuss the creation, development and my overall thoughts on a book that I wrote. Today, we’ll be talking about the Second Alterum book, The Mineral Continent. Before we begin, there will be spoilers! If you haven’t read Alterum 1 or 2, then you will be spoiled in this post. So, where do I begin?  Alterum 2 was released a few months after Alterum 1, and in between that time, I was working on several other books. Because of it, I ended up forgetting a lot of Alterum 1’s world and history. I have […] - [Gang Wars Chapter 11: The Living Dead](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/gang-wars-chapter-11-the-living-dead/): “Where is he now?” John asked as he spoke to Scott through a secure phone line. “He’s at my place,” Scott replied, peering over to Kyle who hadn’t lifted his face from the bed he collapsed on. “I don’t think there is anything else we can do.” “I suppose I’ll have to come and talk to him.” “No, it’s fine,” Scott suggested. “I think he’s done.” “Done? What do you mean?” “It’s just like before. This reunion is over.” “…I understand,” John said, “What do I do about the bounty?” “I’ll do what I can to hack into their system and […] - [Writing my novel: 'One's Confined Life'](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/writing-my-novel-ones-confined-life/): If you asked me, “What is your favourite short book that you’ve written’ my answer would probably be One’s Confined Life. Not because I think it’s my best work, but because I think it has the coolest story I’ve written in a while. Welcome back to my usual irregular series where I speak about one of my novellas/novels. This time we’ll be taking a look at One’s Confined Life. As always, there will be spoilers, so if you haven’t read it, then go do it now! It’s super cheap and a short read. You can find out more in the Novels […] - [Audio versions of posts (Update)](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/audio-versions-of-posts-update/): Hey, all. I’m here with a short update. You can now listen to certain posts! That’s right, listen. Certain posts and future posts will be converted into an audio format for you to enjoy on various podcast platforms. These posts use the voices of the future so you can listen to them. If you want to have a listen, you can find the link to Spotify and Anchor below.

(And share it about) - [Doctor Who: Eve of the Daleks (Review)](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/doctor-who-eve-of-the-daleks-review/): After reviewing each episode of Flux, I may as well carry on until the end of Jodie Whittaker’s time as the Doctor. I have hopes that the ending will be better than the start and the middle, so let’s talk about the first of 4 specials, Eve of the Daleks. But before I talk about the episode itself, I want to talk about my thoughts going into it. Just like with Flux, it seems there was quite a big advertising budget. I’ve seen tons of posters about this episode, so that tells you that the BBC believes in it. Personally, I […] - [Disney's Encanto (Review)](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/disneys-encanto-review/): I’ve always said that yearly releases often show a decrease in quality. This is seen with yearly video game releases, and the same is mostly true for films. Obviously, Disney has several studios working on several films at once, but I’ve been a little disappointed with recent Disney / Disney Pixar releases. None of them appealed to me. They all seemed a bit ‘meh’ from the trailers, and it meant I never wanted to watch them. But Encanto is different. Disney uploaded one of the songs to their YouTube channel, and it instantly hooked me. I watched it as soon as […] - [2021: My goals for 2022](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/2021-my-goals-for-2022/): I have no strong opinions about this year ending. To me, this year was identical to 2020; I’ve kept calling this year 2020 part 2. But towards the end of 2021 things started to change. I’ve already spoken about what happened this year in another post, so go read that here. This post is all about 2022 and to say I have big plans is an understatement. So let’s begin! To better explain my plans, let’s break this down into sections. First, let’s talk about what I’ll be doing with my writing in 2022. There won’t be as many books released […] - [An important update to this site's domain](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/an-important-update-to-this-sites-domain/): When this blog first launched, it went by a different name. That name was ‘SlippyfopSaga’. I wasn’t keen on the name but and changed it to FabledByte. FabledByte was a name I liked. I thought it was a pretty cool name and was a good one for my writing. But ever since I started writing under my real name, I had less need for FabledByte. And once I started streaming, my username quickly become Slippyfop or SlippyfopTV. If you ask me if I prefer Slippyfop or FabledByte, I’ll tell you Slippyfop. So what am I getting out? Well, this blog will […] - [2021: Happy Holidays, and thank you (Christmas Message)](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/happy-holidays-and-thank-you/): 2021 wasn’t an easy year. I’m going to speak more about it in a post that will launch in a few days, but for now, I wish to say thank you. Thank you. Thank you for reading, following, liking, commenting, sharing and more. I wouldn’t be doing this if it wasn’t for you all. I appreciate every single one of you. I want to say happy holidays, and a happy new year to you all. I hope that the year ends far better than it began. It is the time for celebration and reflection. The end of the year is a […] - [A Snow-fallen Departure (Short Story)](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/a-snow-fallen-departure-short-story/): A letter was the first thing that came through his door. He had suspicions about what it could be. It had been there for a while. Even before he noticed it, it was there. The headaches. Nausea and vomiting. Blurry visions. His recent confusion that even worried his parents. All of these told him what he already knew. And this letter confirmed his worries. An emergency doctor’s appointment. They wanted to speak to him today, Christmas. It wasn’t completely unheard of. He would have gotten the results sooner, but it was due to various issues with the testing process and his […] - [Gang Wars Chapter 10: The Reunion](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/gang-wars-chapter-10-the-reunion/): Despite a bullet having escaped through her body, April wasn’t going to give up. To her, that bullet was only nothing more than a bee sting. It wasn’t that she had received any special training or lacked the nerves to feel the damage, but she knew that if she died, the pain Kyle would go through would be far worse. “I’m not surprised you still want to fight,” Tom said as he kept the gun straight, holding it to April’s back as he was ready to fire again. However, before the next shot was fired, April spun around on the spot, […] - [Gang Wars Chapter 9: The Regrets](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/gang-wars-chapter-9-the-regrets/): Had the clock not told him the time, he wouldn’t know how long he was out for. Scott pulled his head off the car’s dashboard as sweat had almost stuck him to it. His eyes were still as blurry as before, struggling to see the world around him as he furiously rubbed them. He could just remember what happened. April’s face was clear in his mind as he recalled Kyle’s orders. “Shit!” His eyes darted to the clock in the car, luckily always on. 10:50 PM. Scott came to 3 hours later. In his sudden panic, he dug deep into his […] - [2021: The best of...](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/2021-the-best-of/): An interesting discussion at the end of the year is always “What was your favourite….?”. It can be exciting to see what people say their favourite, game, film or song from the year was. And that’s what I’ll be doing here.  (This is all my opinion.) As always, the only rule is that I must have seen it for the first time this year. It could have come out in 1998 but as long as I saw it for the first time this year, it counts. So, let’s just jump right into it. Favourite Song: There was a lot of good […] - [2021: Did I achieve my goals? (Yearly Roundup)](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/2021-did-i-achieve-my-goals-yearly-roundup/): 2021 is quickly coming to an end, and it’s one hell of a year. It’s the year I keep calling 2020 by mistake because 2020 just feels that long. But let’s talk about what happened this year. Because this year is about 2021. This is the first part in my usual end of year series where I’ll be going over the very brief thoughts and statistics of the year. To start, I finally got my graduation ceremony. I technically left university in 2020, but it wasn’t until September 2021 that I was able to meet up with all my friends again […] - [Doctor Who Flux Episode 6: I don't know what I expected](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/doctor-who-flux-episode-6-i-dont-know-what-i-expected/): 6 weeks later, Doctor Who Flux has ended. It was a quick 6 weeks, but for some, it was too long. To start this post I’ll be giving my brief thoughts of the final episode (as I watch it), and afterwards, I’ll give a little review for the whole series. So, let’s begin. “She thinks running will help?” Clearly, since you don’t even have the competence to touch her. If the doors can lead to any time and any space, what are the chances one of them was ever going to be labelled anything close to 2021? Kate Stewart appears because […] - [Gang Wars Chapter 8: The Alliance](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/gang-wars-chapter-8-the-alliance/): Splitting up wasn’t the first thought in Kyle’s mind. In fact, it was one of the last. But it was due to recent habits that caused this decision. Ever since leaving The Cassettes, he had gone independent. Everything he did was down by himself. And of course, when you leave something as notorious as a gang, it is often impossible to escape your past. For the first year, he was constantly being attacked by those that despised him, old memories he made when he protected the streets. People who thought were his friend ended up only wishing to get close for […] - [In regard to Social Anxiety](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/in-regards-to-social-anxiety/): It feels like your every action is being judged. It feels like everything you do is constantly being talked about by those who know you. One perfectly normal thing seems like a mistake, and you can’t stop thinking about it. You think that you’re being laughed at in secret. You think that everyone is watching you. You think that everything you do is wrong. But none of the above is true. I think like what I’ve stated above, even if I know it is not true. The reason for this is that anxiety is a spiral, and it’s not easy to […] - [Doctor Who Flux Episode 5: I hate everything](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/doctor-who-flux-episode-5-i-hate-everything/): Episode 5 of 6 is here. Doctor Who Flux Episode 5: The survivors of the Flux. With a title like that, you’d assume it’s very boring. And you’d be wrong. Not wrong because it’s boring, but wrong because it doesn’t really have anything to do with the survivors of the flux. The Flux happened in episode 1, why isn’t episode 2, 3 or 4 called this? Anyway, this’ll be a bit different to usual.  Below are my thoughts that I wrote while watching the episode. These are in order so if you’ve seen the episode they’ll make perfect sense. If you […] - [Gang Wars Chapter 7: The Bounty](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/gang-wars-chapter-7-the-bounty/): Several days had passed since they entered The Capital. They had been training restlessly every day whilst trying to come up with a new plan of action. They possessed little information to work off. And since they could only move at night, it was almost impossible to gather any credible information. Originally, they were relying on old informants from back when they were called The Cassettes. But most of them were dead. Their leads were gone. And to make matters worse, on their 5th day in The Capital, a sudden news announcement caught their eyes. “This is an emergency broadcast,” The […] - [A Journey Down Embarrassment Lane](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/a-journey-down-embarrassment-lane/): Probably 99% of people are embarrassed by events in their past. I’m no different. There are events that I regret and wish I had handled better. I wish I were smarter and acted differently, but maybe things would be different if I had. But embarrassment doesn’t just come from how we act, because people are also embarrassed by their past work. An artist may dislike their very first art. Same with a writer or a poet. Everyone hates what they used to do, but I think it’s a great show of how far you’ve changed. Below I’ve got an example of […] - [Doctor Who Flux Episode 4: The Horror it didn't mean to be](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/doctor-who-fluxed-episode-4-the-horror-it-didnt-mean-to-be/): The Weeping Angels are definitely one of the coolest Doctor Who villains. A truly horrifying creature that deals more psychological damage than physical. A good Weeping Angel story will be clever, scary and leave you wanting more. Sadly, this does the opposite. Great villains are ruined by zero tension. The constant changes of scenes remove any possible horror and fear that you might have whilst watching this episode. It’s another episode that is filled with random events that don’t or won’t matter. Yaz and Dan get sent off to another year where we forget about them. (This may set up for […] - [Shang-Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings (REVIEW)](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/shang-chi-and-the-legend-of-the-ten-rings-review/): I’m a bit late with my review, but it’s better late than never. Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is Marvel’s latest blockbuster, but that doesn’t mean it feels like all the other Marvel movies. For our first introduction to Shang-Chi, we are thankfully greeted with a great introduction story that isn’t ruined by unnecessarily long backstory or build-up. That’s not to say there is none, because this film opens up with a backstory. But it isn’t a superhero origin story that we are used to seeing. We don’t see Uncle Ben die a million times in every film, […] - [Doctor Who Flux Episode 3: Better but still not there](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/doctor-who-fluxed-episode-3-better-but-still-not-there/): Doctor Who Fluxed Episode 3 just finished, and I’ve got something to say. I thought it was the best episode yet. But, not by much. I enjoyed the mystery of it, it feels like we finally are starting to get some answers, but I can imagine that smaller fans of the show would have probably stopped watching by this point. I’m a fan of all this confusion and little bits of backstory, but I can see why others are confused. A lot in this episode did feel pointless, it felt really obvious that they were trying to stretch for time. But […] - [To Value Yourself](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/to-value-yourself/): If you had to give a value to yourself, what would you say? Would you value yourself as quite high, or depressingly low? Everyone and everything has value.  And that value changes depending on who you ask. ‘One man’s trash is another man’s treasure’ is a very common saying. And I think it’s applied best to people. You may not possess the courage you want to have, but that is more than enough for someone else. You may not possess the self-confidence you want to have, but that is more than enough for someone else. You never truly look at yourself. […] - [Doctor Who Flux Episode 2: A light review and similar complaints](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/doctor-who-flux-episode-2-a-light-review-and-similar-complaints/): So Doctor Who Flux Episode 2 just finished, and I’m back again to give my thoughts. Unlike episode 1, I won’t be doing a funny little recap on it, and will instead be just saying my thoughts. Before I begin, there will be spoilers for Doctor Who Flux Episode 2 and maybe 1.  If you wish to read my thoughts on episode 1, then you can find a link here: https://fabledbyte.wordpress.com/2021/11/06/doctor-who-flux-episode-1-a-review-and-many-complaints/ As always, this is all my opinion so please don’t take it personally. Let’s begin. So the doctor magically survives the flux, and it’s interesting to see the ship defence […] - [Doctor Who Flux Episode 1: A review and many complaints](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/doctor-who-flux-episode-1-a-review-and-many-complaints/): I’m a little late to the party, but last week Doctor Who returned to our TVs! What an exciting time, not everyone will get to see the downfall of a bellowed show like this. This time, we have Doctor Who Flux, a strange large cloud in space that is eating away at everything. But, before I begin, I will say that this is part 1 of 6. This is the first episode and there are 5 more, so hopefully, a lot of what I say in this blog will change. This review won’t be formal so if you want a super […] - [Writing my novel: 'Alterum: The Other World'](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/writing-my-novel-alterum-the-other-world/): Welcome to the next instalment in this little series called ‘Writing my…’ or ‘My Thoughts On…’ This is where I usually just talk about something I’ve written, and today, we’ll be talking about the first Alterum Book! How did I not notice that I didn’t do this? I thought I had already spoken about this book, but it turns out I was mistaken. But before I begin, there will be heavy spoilers for book 1! Check out the book in the novels section. If you want to read book 1, then you can do so on the novels page. As always, […] - [My experience learning a musical instrument](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/my-experience-learning-a-musical-instrument/): My history with musical instruments is one of discovery. At around the age of 9/10 I started learning guitar. It was an instrument I learnt to respect later in life, as when I was 9/10 I quickly gave up. I was young and had small hands, so it wasn’t the easiest thing for me to play. Then, after a year of guitar, I moved onto the drums. I was around 10/11 at the time and had similar experiences. I didn’t enjoy it as much as I had hoped. I don’t know why I never kept up the drums, for some reason […] - [Luck. Fate. Destiny.](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/luck-fate-destiny/): Let’s say, that everyone has an amount of luck. We’ll say the max is 100 and 0 is the minimum. This value will drop at every action. Depending on the size or ‘luck’ of the action depends on how much is taken away. For example, finding some small change on the floor is worth 1. Whereas getting a good poker hand could be around 20. As you use your luck, this number will slowly rise back up. Each person is different. Some have their luck increment in whole numbers, such as 1 or 2, but others may have theirs go up […] - [The Struggling Social Anxiety](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/the-struggling-social-anxiety/): I’m a strong advocate for speaking about Mental Health. I believe that talking and being open about mental health is a huge step and a massive help in overcoming it. Acknowledging it can be massive. I’ve briefly spoken here and there about my experience with mental health, but I don’t think I’ve fully explained it all, so let’s do that. By speaking about my experience, I hope others will gain the courage to talk about their problems. But I’m not saying your problems can be solved just by speaking, it’s complicated. We live in a world where people share their stresses […] - [The Screaming Political Void](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/the-screaming-political-void/): Today’s post is going to be an interesting one, possibly very controversial, as today I’ll be speaking on my views on the world/politics. But before we begin, this is my opinion. So, let’s jump in. To start, I agree with a lot of liberal policies. But I disagree with a lot of liberals. Hypocrisy is the word I would use to describe the world. The world is full of hypocrites, myself included. What do I mean by this? Well, I believe the root problem comes from the conflict we are faced with, especially in the United States of America.  The US […] - [Who does the world revolve around?](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/who-does-the-world-revolve-around/): If I asked, ‘Who does the world revolve around?’ you’d probably all answer something different. Now, this topic is interesting, and also a good topic for debate. But I just wanted to share my thoughts on such a thought. First off, the world will never revolve around the person thinking such an idea. If you protest something and believe you are making a change, you probably aren’t, because in this world it’s the ones in power that decide. But then, who puts these people into power? It’s an interesting contradiction. When people protest, they are thought to be ‘the majority against […] - [How perfectionism is halting you](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/how-perfectionism-is-halting-you/): In a lot of things, there is this idea of ‘perfection’. In terms of art, music, video games, dance, media, politics, and everything else, there is the idea of something being ‘perfect’. But is perfectionism bad? Is it bad to strive for perfection? I’d say it isn’t an easy answer. Perfection is subjective, meaning it’s an opinion. What’s perfect to you may not be perfect to me. Which is why I believe perfection isn’t always the best thing to strive for. It’s good to have high goals. It’s good to shoot for the moon and do your absolute best at everything, […] - [Writing my novel: 'Oscar Pat: The Gears in the Shadows'](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/writing-my-novel-oscar-pat-the-gears-in-the-shadows/): The Gears in the Shadows is the third instalment in the Oscar Pat series and was quickly released a few months after the second. So, to follow up on the last post, let’s talk about the third book in the Oscar Pat series. Before I jump in, as always, there will be spoilers for Oscar Pat: The Gears in the Shadows. If you wish to check out the Oscar Pat Series, you can find them in the Novels section of this blog. The eBooks are cheap, and they help support me. If you don’t have an Amazon Kindle, you can download […] - [Writing my novel: 'Oscar Pat: The Hospital of Creation'](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/writing-my-novel-oscar-pat-the-hospital-of-creation/): It’s been a while since I released my ‘Writing my Novel: Oscar Pat The Golden Plate’ and I didn’t realise that I hadn’t written about the second book. So, as usual, in this post, I’ll be going over some fun facts, general thoughts on the book and more. As always, there will be spoilers for both Oscar Pat 1 and Oscar Pat 2. If you wish to read them before checking out this post, they are in the novels section of this blog. Alright, so let’s begin. From now on, I’ll be referring to Oscar Pat: The Hospital of Creation as […] - [My 100th Post!](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/my-100th-post/): To start, thank you. Thank you for reading this and checking out this page. This post is my 100th post on this blog. Obviously, not all of the posts are winners, some of them are chapters for a web novel or even short stories. Some are even advertisements for my own stuff. But, that doesn’t matter. Today, I want to take a trip back and have a look at the timeline of this blog. So, let’s just jump into it. 16th of February 2019 was my first post. It was a welcome post. It was simple and just explained what I […] - [An idea into drafting and noting for novels](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/an-idea-into-drafting-and-noting-for-novels/): In my blog post about my novel ‘A Hobbyist’s Chance’ I spoke about my planning and how I struggled writing it. I think planning is something a lot of people struggle with, because it’s hard to view how it would be received. The key thing people care about when planning something like a story, is how ‘good’ it is. Of course, your own opinion is biased, that’s why editors exist, for an external opinion. But this post isn’t about that. I wish to speak about how I plan my novels and chapters, along with showing you some examples of things. Maybe […] - [My messy process when creating a 3D scene (In Blender 3D)](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/my-messy-process-when-creating-a-3d-scene-in-blender-3d/): Last week, I spoke about my journey into Blender 3D, and also gave a few tips that helped me. Obviously, I’m not a professional, and all I spoke about was what had helped me. But, this time I thought it’d be interesting to talk about the creation of a scene. I’ll briefly go over the creation progress of it all, as I created and animated all the 3D models myself. Before we begin, this post has been given my stamp of messiness. Meaning this post is a bit of a mess so I can not guarantee you’ll learn something. So to […] - [I started learning Blender 3D (My experiences)](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/i-started-learning-blender-3d-my-experiences/): I’ve been messing around in the 3D modelling software Blender for a while now (1 month), and I wanted to share my experiences along with giving a few tips from a beginner. There’s no point in my waiting around so let’s get started. First, why did I get into Blender? Well, there are a few reasons. I’ve always had a love for environments and creating things, and Blender is something I’ve attempted many times in the past but was never able to ‘understand’ it. Additionally, I wanted to do it as it allowed me to create the covers for my books. […] - [A world of 7 billion](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/a-world-of-7-billion/): In a world of 7 billion, what are you? In a world of 7 billion, how many people know you? And in a world of 7 billion, what actually matters? It’s impossible to say what matters because everyone will differ. What matters to me and what matters to you is different. The simple things could matter to you, whilst the impossible could matter to me. Of course, the impossible will never come true, and because of that, it means that what I desire will never come true. But is that fair? If we say that out of 7 billion, only 90% […] - [Different Opinions](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/different-opinions/): Before I begin this post, I would like to say that this is all the opinion of someone who doesn’t read. All the experience I’ve gained is from writing my own stories and attempting to understand the complex minds of readers. Take everything you read with a grain of salt, as it may sound super obvious to you, or rather ridiculous, so you can’t help but laugh. Also, as always with me, it could make zero sense. Either way, thanks for the view. I speak a lot when it comes to writing that everyone has a different opinion on what is […] - [Writing my novel: 'Oscar Pat: The Golden Plate'](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/writing-my-novel-oscar-pat-the-golden-plate/): Welcome to yet another “Writing my…” or “My thoughts on…” or whatever this is called. Here, I’ll be discussing my thoughts about the first Oscar Pat novel, Oscar Pat: The Golden Plate. I’ll be discussing facts, ideas, inspiration, and any other things I can remember from when I was writing the first Oscar Pat book. There will be some slight spoilers for the first book, so if you haven’t read it and wish to check it out, you can find it in the novels section of this blog. As always in these posts, I won’t be explaining the plot for you, […] - [Why I'm writing this in the middle of the night](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/why-im-writing-this-in-the-middle-of-the-night/): Why am I writing this in the middle of the night? There is no simple answer. The night is the loneliest time. The silence can and has killed people. Thoughts run wild as they make you doubt everything you’ve ever thought about yourself and those around you. Mental health is as important as ever. People struggle and are constantly on that tipping point, unable to know just when they may find themselves in unfamiliar territory, or perhaps, even worse places. At night, when the mind is awake and no one else is around, is when you are most vulnerable. Emotions brew […] - [Writing my novel: 'A Hobbyist's Chance'](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/writing-my-novel-a-hobbyists-chance/): Welcome back to ‘Writing my…’ or ‘My Thoughts on…’ or whatever this series was called. Where I talk about things that I’ve written, and go over my process, cut ideas, random facts, my thoughts on it or just general gibberish. Today, we’ll be talking about A Hobbyist’s Chance, a novel that I released back in November 2020. I won’t be explaining anything about the story here, and I will be going into spoilers, so if you wish to check it out to get an understanding of what I’m talking about, it’s cheap as an E-book on Amazon. Now, as I said, […] - [My two year writing journey](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/my-two-year-writing-journey/): Believe it or not, I only started writing 2 years ago. On February 16th 2019, I started this blog with a welcome post. My first short story was on the 19th; and on March 8th, Continuous School started, which would then turn into a 200+ chapter web novel that’d end sometime around February 2020. So, what’s changed over those two years? Have I gotten better? Well, I looked back on some old posts of mine on this blog and I certainly believe I’ve improved. I knew that with Continuous School, there was a lot I can improve on, and if you […] - [That One Thing](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/that-one-thing/): In life, one thing can make all the difference. For me, that one thing is music.  I’ve always said that once I stop feeling things from music, it’s over for me. What I mean is, that when my mental health takes music from me, I have nothing left. Music has done so much for me, so much that I can’t explain enough how much I love it. The emotions, stories and pain I feel from music is just indescribable. I’ll listen to music at 3 AM, blasting it down my ears with chills all over my body and just a head […] - [Luigi's Mansion 3 (REVIEW)](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/luigis-mansion-3-review/): Luigi’s Mansion is a game series that has certainly changed over its releases. The first game was great but had a lot that could be ironed out, mainly with how you stun ghosts, which was improved in the second one with the addition of new things. But forget about the first and the second, as I want to speak about the third. Luigi’s Mansion 3 came out in 2019, and I only just got around to playing it. I played the game multiplayer with my brother using the Gooigi two-player mode. I have a lot of nitpicking here, so forgive me […] - [The 'you' reading this](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/the-you-reading-this/): DISCLAIMER *This is a bit of a tricky one to understand, so bear with me while I try and explain it. *I’ve not researched this topic and it’s purely my rambling brain.  *I use a lot of words broadly as I simply cannot create the meaning for them that I wish they had. *This post could create some anxiety and discusses potentially anxiety-inducing topics such as the meaning of life and more. The ‘you’ that is reading this, must have some level of conscience. You are free-thinking and able to create your own ideas and perception of things, making you ‘in […] - [Unknown Effect](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/unknown-effect/): The effect something can have on someone is unknown. One word can change the world, but one can destroy what remains. One song can generate endless tears, but one can destroy what remains. Many can cause the end of one, and One can cause the end of many. The butterfly effect can be claimed as the reason everything is the way it is. Had X not happened, Y wouldn’t be the way it is. X could have done a lot to make Y, or X was a simple change that created Y. Y could be a good change or a bad […] - [2020: The best of...](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/the-best-of-2020/): A lot of people like to look back on the previous year and think about their favourite things about it. That’s what I’ll be doing. I’ll be talking about some of my favourite things that came out of 2020, as well as the usual rubbish that pops into my head. I’ll be talking about my favourite Song, Anime, Film, TV show, and Game. I’ll also throw in some honourable mentions. But let’s just set some rules. Normally, I’d be strict and say it had to have come out in 2020, but this time I’m saying that the first time I saw/listened/played […] - [2020: My goals for 2021](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/my-goals-for-2021/): 2020 has ended. I’ve already spoken about 2020 and if I’ve achieved all that I wished to achieve, and in this one, I’ll be talking about my plans for 2021. What I plan to do, things I want to do, create, explore, who knows. So, let’s get into it. A big part of my life is writing, although I do it as a hobby, I do it a lot. In 2020 I released 3 novellas, and in 2021 I’ll be releasing at least 1 if not 2. The second instalment in the Oscar Pat series will definitely release in 2021, and […] - [2020: Did I achieve my goals? (Yearly Roundup)](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/did-i-achieve-my-2020-goals/): Around 1 year ago, I wrote a post about what I wanted to achieve in the year 2020. Let’s just say, I didn’t know about COVID-19 and because of that was very wrong about a lot of things but also right about some. If you wish to read the old post, it’s somewhere on The Culture Collective Podcast Blog, so you might have to search that and have a look around there. Let’s start off with the things relating to writing. First things first, I did complete Continuous School. My web novel ended with 205 chapters and 3 epilogue chapters, bringing […] - [Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club (REVIEW)](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/love-live-nijigasaki-high-school-idol-club-review/): I’ve said it many times and I’ll keep saying it, I’m a huge fan of the Love Live Series. For those who don’t know what Love Live is, it’s an anime about a group of schoolgirls becoming school idols for whatever reason. I’m an absolutely massive fan of both Love Live and Love Live Sunshine. I’m such a big fan that Aqours was my number one group on Spotify this year (2020). So, obviously, I’ll be excited about the third group, and also super excited for their anime, so let’s jump into it. To start off, it’s different from the other […] - [Approaching Holidays](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/approaching-holidays/): Christmas is in a few days (or it’s month’s away depending on when you read this), and to me Christmas is weird. It’s not wrong to say that Christmas isn’t as strongly associated with religion as it used to be, it’s more of just a general time to celebrate with friends and family whilst having a dinner and a time to show other’s your feelings. Christmas could be the time you plan to propose to your future partner, or maybe the time where you wish to ask out your friend for the first time in hopes they’ll say yes. Or maybe […] - [Nothing to post](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/nothing-to-post/): So, sadly I have nothing to post this week. I was trying really hard to think of something to post but ultimately I felt that whatever I would write about wouldn’t be up to the standard I want it to be, so I’ve decided to go for the cheap option. Today will be a little advert about my live streams. For those who do not know, I started live streaming many many years ago but got back into it around March this year. I only streamed for about 2 months before giving up, but recently (about two weeks ago), I decided […] - [A Hobbyist's Encounter (Short story)](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/a-hobbyists-encounter-short-story/): I ate my food with a subtle breath, shoving the burger into my face, followed by the salty fries. Each golden chip smoothly broke apart to reveal the potato goodness that I needed in life. There was enough salt to cause me to suddenly break out into a heart attack, but it was worth it. But that’s when she approached me, a small girl with a slightly older-looking face. Her black hair matched her dark jacket and jeans. “Can I help you?” I asked as I stopped eating out of politeness. “Are you Lucas Burton?” “Yes…?” I lifted my head to […] - [Writing my short stories - part 2](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/writing-my-short-stories-part-2/): Welcome to the second part of me talking about my short stories. If you missed the last part you can find it here. But in this part, I’ll be going over the final three short stories. If you haven’t read them, you can check them out here: The outside world Survived the Crash The White Rabbit The Outside World: I’m a big fan of superheroes and superpowers. But the only thing cooler than superpowers is how messed up the world would actually be. I wanted to take a slightly fresher twist on the idea. I believe that chances are, super powers […] - [Writing my short stories - part 1](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/writing-my-short-stories-part-1/): Welcome to the next instalment in my “Talking about…” Series, where I talk about the stuff I’ve done over the recent years (and maybe some later years). Here I’ll be talking about my short stories one by one. Explaining what could have been, what was going to be and other general stuff relating to them. However, for the sake of more content, I will be splitting this post into two parts with the second lot coming out next week. I’ll go over all of them, but the three I’ll be going over in this part are: Exam preparation, Train journey, Death […] - [The White Rabbit (Short Story)](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/the-white-rabbit-short-story/): 7 people remain on Earth. For some unknown reason, humanity was left with only 7. These 7 were all of similar age. 6 teenagers, and 1 little girl who was only 10. 4 boys 3 girls. The reason as for why these 7 was unknown, but regardless of the size of the world, they all gathered one winter. In an empty city, filled with no sound but the blowing breeze, all alone, like the ambience of a one-stringed guitar. Resting around behind perfectly standing, yet empty beautiful skyscrapers. Snow fell around as they all reunited around each other, unable to speak […] - [The Uncertainty of the Future](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/the-uncertainty-of-the-future/): I am someone who runs away. I run away from the commitment that everyone has to do, get a job. But, I got lucky, as selfish as it is to say this. I got lucky. Because of COVID-19, I am unable to get a job. No one is hiring and the UK just re-entered lockdown for a month. However that isn’t to say I’ve been doing nothing with my life, but we’ll come back to that. First off, why haven’t I gotten a job? Ultimately, it’s due to anxiety. For some reason that I cannot explain, the thought of me getting […] - [The Middle Lands - My university dissertation](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/the-middle-lands-my-university-dissertation/): It’s been a good few months since I left university, I would have left slightly later but because of COVID-19, my university life ended a few months early and we went to online lectures for a while, but regardless, one thing we still had to complete was our dissertations. To explain what the dissertation is, it’s usually a report around 10,000 words long. The report can be on whatever you want. My dissertation was this 10,000-word report, plus making a video game to go along with it. (since my course was Game Development, it made sense) There is a lot I […] - [Writing my novel 'Is it snowing yet?'](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/writing-my-novel-is-it-snowing-yet/): Welcome to ‘My Thoughts on…’ or ‘Writing my…’ or whatever. The series where I talk about thing’s I’ve written. I talk about the inspirations and other things that I find interesting. If the post is short, it means my initial inspiration was boring and trash. Today, I’ll be talking about a novella I released earlier in the year. Is it snowing yet? That’s the question and the title to my first self publish novella. I will be going into spoilers, so if you haven’t read it yet (I don’t blame you if you haven’t) GO READ IT! To quickly summarize the […] - [Writing my web novel Gang Wars](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/writing-my-web-novel-gang-wars/): The latest in my “Writing my…” series that I’ve just now called it and will never call it again as I’m already running out of things to talk about. Gang wars, the thing that started it all. I enjoyed Gang wars. It was meant to be 18 chapters and they were all planned out. So why did it end? Well, I can’t say. It didn’t really need to end. The reason I gave at the time was that I didn’t enjoy writing it, and that’s true. I had trouble writing it. I could probably go back now and continue it, and […] - [Survived the Crash (Short Story)](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/survived-the-crash-short-story/): The crash caused his ears to ring. With squinted eyes, he could see the flames rise around him and illuminate the night sky. Every bone felt heavy. He attempted to crawl over to what he thought was their bodies, but someone was dragging him away. “Please…” he begged to the vision of the person that tried to drag him out from underneath the heavy metal sheets. “Save them… forget about me…” The next moment was darkness. His next memories were of white as he awoke in the hospital. His sight was still just as bad but quickly adapted and fixed itself […] - [Project Living Update](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/project-living-update/): This will be a slightly upsetting update regarding the project, I won’t waste time, so let’s get into it: During the week I was working on implementing saving and loading in Project Living, and during my adventure, the game files got corrupted. I managed to fix the errors and the project is back into the state it was before I started working on saving and loading, but this experience taught me something, this project is too big for me at the moment. I’m only 1 person and also someone who wants to achieve a lot, because of this. It is possible […] - [Project Living - Inventory System](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/project-living-inventory-system/): I would like to start off by saying that this is not a tutorial on how to do an inventory system, it is just an explanation as to how I made mine. Mine could be terrible compared to professionals or completely different from how other people will do it. Along the way, I’ll have pictures and poorly made pictures in paint to try and explain it better. So, let’s begin. An inventory system. There are many types of inventory systems and it really comes down to what you want the system to do, and in this post, I’m going to be […] - [An Introduction to the game I'm making, Project Living](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/an-introduction-to-the-game-im-making-project-living/): About almost two months ago, I started working on a video game. I studied video game development at university, so it makes sense to use that degree for something. I’ve had the idea of what I wanted to work on for some time, and I’m going to use this blog to talk about it every now and again. So, I guess this is the written devlog instead of the video ones that I post on YouTube. To start, I’ll give a brief introduction to the game, which is currently called Project Living (the name will change later on) To simply explain […] - [A Single Purpose](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/a-single-purpose/): Purpose is strange.  To me, purpose is one thing, but to you, it might be something else. Ultimately the goal of humanity is to reproduce. You may disagree with it, or you may agree, the best way to guarantee humanities survival is through reproduction. I actually started writing a little novel thingy about a character trying to uncover the exact things I’ll be talking about. All my characters are based on me in some way, and the guy in that novel I’m writing is the me that wants to find his purpose. But I won’t talk about that fiction here (as […] - [Getting back into things](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/getting-back-into-things/): “I want to get back into this blog” Is something I say every time. I say this a lot. It’s one of those things where the more I say it, the less likely it is to happen. It’s like your parents telling you to get a job, but you can’t cause of a global pandemic. Or them telling you to pull the trigger as you cry softly into the cold metal gun that is somehow in your hands. The more someone tells you to do something, the less likely you are to do it. But anyway, what I’m trying to say, […] - [My thoughts on the ending to Domestic Girlfriend (Domestic na Kanojo)](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/my-thoughts-on-the-ending-to-domestic-girlfriend-domestic-na-kanojo/): The final chapter of the Manga Domestic Girlfriend just dropped, and I read it and have a few opinions on the series as a whole. There will be spoilers, but I’ll give a brief explanation of the plot. Basically, a guy loves his teacher, sleeps with a different girl, and his dad ends up remarrying. This new marriage brings two stepsisters. One is the teacher he has a crush on, the other is the girl he slept with. Sounds strange? That’s because it is. And while it may be over 200 chapters, it is 200+ chapters of garbage. (I just checked, […] - [Writing my web novel: 'The Four Guardians'](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/writing-my-web-novel-the-four-guardians/): Oh, boy. This is a good one. The novel that I really regret a lot about. If you haven’t read it then a link is right here, you can also check the last post about why I stopped writing it if you want: As always, spoilers ahead. So why do I regret this? It’s a simple question with a complex answer. But to sum it up, I pushed myself into a corner. If you’ve read it all then you know it technically hasn’t ended, it’s really just on indefinite hiatus. The reason for this was because the story that is shown […] - [What happened to The Four Guardians?](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/what-happened-to-the-four-guardians/): For those that do not know, The Four Guardians is a web novel that I wrote. Recently it was announced at the end of the last chapter that it would go on indefinite hiatus. So I shall explain this. This is explaining my reasoning about it all so no one is going to force you to read this if you haven’t read the web novel. So, why the indefinite hiatus? It’s not something that can easily be explained. I’d say the main reason is mainly that I was unprepared. I wanted it to end this way, with Ren rewriting the world […] - [22/7 Anime (REVIEW)](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/22-7-review/): The idol anime 22/7 has just had its final episode so here is my review of it. I will mention slight spoilers but there may be some early stuff (like episode 1 or 2 stuff and I’ll try and keep it out of context) and I’ll try not to compare it to other idol anime. I’ll review it based on what it is. First off, I didn’t like the first 2 or so episodes. The premise was stupid. I’ve seen a few idol animes and I think that this story was weak. The idea of a wall creating the group is […] - [Seven Deadly Sins season 3 (REVIEW)](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/seven-deadly-sins-season-3-review/): Come one! Come all! To the joke that is Seven Deadly Sins season 3. If you liked the first and second seasons, then give up. This season is one of the worst things I’ve ever seen in my life. I can describe it with several words: Underwhelming, disappointing, uninspired, boring, and just generally bad. But where to begin? When the first episode aired, I remember the hate for the censorship. I was part of the hate. They censored all the blood and guts in such a strange way. All the blood was made to be white and the guts were just […] - [Is it snowing yet? (Advert)](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/is-it-snowing-yet-advert/): Hey everyone, I’m back but this time with an advert. This blog originally had web novels on it but now I’m here to talk about a novella that I wrote. If you don’t know what a Novella is, it’s basically, longer than a short story but shorter than a novel. Typically, they are around 20,000 – 40,000 words. So, what is it? It follows the story of a 16-year-old depressed teen who doesn’t know what he wants out of life. It seems cliche and it kinda is. He’s been stuck in therapy his whole life but no matter what can’t find […] - [Writing my web novel: 'This Meddling World'](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/writing-my-web-novel-this-meddling-world/): Although the final chapter went up back in September, just like with Continuous school I wanted to talk about This Meddling World. I briefly talked about it on twitter but I’ll go into more detail and maybe think of some other stuff to say. Before we start, if you haven’t read it and don’t want to be spoiled, stop what you are doing, and read it with this link as there will be large spoilers: UPDATE: For the second anniversary I rereleased This Meddling World as a physical book alongside an eBook on Amazon. Both these versions were updated to fix […] - [Love Live! School Idol Festival All-Stars Review](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/love-live-school-idol-festival-all-stars-review/): It’s been a good few days since the release of Love Live! School Idol Festival All-stars Worldwide edition, and I thought I’d give it a little review (since I promised to eventually post reviews on this blog, even if this one stands out…). If you don’t know. I’m a big fan of the love live series and still play the original Love Live! School Idol Festival daily.  Before starting, I should warn that this is purely my opinion and if you think otherwise then that is fine. Also, I was reading some of the reviews on the app store for it […] - [Writing my web novel: 'Continuous School' (2)](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/writing-my-web-novel-continuous-school-2/): Welcome back to me rambling on about all the cool facts and secrets about my Web novel Continuous school. Seeing as it’s now finished I thought I’d share some secrets about it. If you haven’t read the last one that came out last week, go and read that to learn some facts about characters and chapters. If you haven’t read Continuous School then what are you doing? Go and read it now. Unreleased Chapters: Getting back into it let’s talk about chapters that never saw release. There are only 2 chapters that never came out and both were meant to be […] - [This blogs 1st anniversary (of posting)](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/this-blogs-1st-anniversary-of-posting/): To think it’s been a year. The first post on this blog was a year ago today. Time has flown past. I had no idea that a year was so soon. I don’t even remember creating the blog. But enough about that. I’ll talk about something else. The problem is, I don’t know what to talk about. I could talk about the stories on this blog but that’s been said many times already. So I guess I’ll talk about the creation of this place. To start, I made this blog in my second year of university (I’m in my third year […] - [Writing my web novel: 'Continuous School' (1)](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/writing-my-web-novel-continuous-school-1/): To think that the web novel that started on this site would finish. It was a strange journey. Only 31 chapters were published here but all 205 chapters were published elsewhere. I will probably spoil parts of it so if you haven’t read it then I recommend it. Unless you don’t want to read it and just care about whatever ramblings I’m about to talk about. Basically, what I wanted to do was share some stuff about it. I wanted to give my final thoughts, behind the scenes, unreleased chapter ideas and whatnot. I’ve briefly mentioned stuff about it before on […] - [An update to end the madness](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/an-update-to-end-the-madness/): Hey, all.  So I promised a while ago an update of sorts as to what this blog will become and seeing as the blogs 1st anniversary is soon, this is a perfect time. Originally, it was a place for me to publish short stories and other works but that has since changed after moving my chapter based stories to other websites.  As of this, the blog kinda fazed out with no reason for it to keep going. I also have another blog with other people where I post reviews and other general stuff.  Currently, my plan is to bring all that […] - [Is it too much to ask for an impossible wish?](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/is-it-too-much-to-ask-for-an-impossible-wish/): “Is it too much to ask for an impossible wish?” I thought to myself as I stare at the rugged ceiling instead of trying to get to sleep.   “Would I be asking too much if I believed there was a chance? Even if it was a small chance, something like 0.01%. Was that enough to still keep thinking about it?” I thought as I heard the sound of sirens in the distance.  “People will believe in whatever it is they want. They fixate on things that give them hope. Following a path and breaking it down into each of its factors […] - [Death Day: The Lost Chapter](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/death-day-the-lost-chapter/): Hey, All. I’m back (but not really) If you didn’t know I have moved to Webnovel for my chapter based stuff like Continuous School, but I don’t want to throw away this blog. I’ve been wondering what to do with it for some time and I still need more time to think. I’ve got a lot of University work I need to focus on first so this blog will have to be inactive again. However, I recently found the original draft for my two-part story Death Day. I thought it would be interesting to post it here. If you wish to […] - [The End of Continuous School and this blog](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/the-end-of-continuous-school-and-this-blog/): From the title, you are probably assuming that Continuous School is ending, Gang Wars ended the other week and now Continuous School is? Allow me to explain, Continuous School is currently being uploaded in two locations, on this blog and on web novel. The web novel version gets new chapters the same time as this one and the first 25 or so have been updated to add some new lines and text. That being said, it sadly means that this blog version is no longer going to be updated. The web novel version will still be updated but this blog will […] - [Continuous School Chapter 31: Dancing within the Aftermath](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/continuous-school-chapter-31-dancing-within-the-aftermath/): [Wednesday, Night] We had just finished our performance in front of everyone and were in our regular classroom to finish writing up a report about the performance, it’s nothing too difficult just a little what went wrong, sort of thing. Personally, apart from Ethan’s sudden improv, it went alright. Ruby had told me and Ethan to go to the classroom first whilst she went to look for Kaylee who ran away after the performance. I could tell Ethan was serious during the performance and seeing Kaylee suddenly run off like that made things worse for him, I have to try my […] - [Gang Wars Chapter 6: The Meeting](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/gang-wars-chapter-6-the-meeting/): Before this chapter starts I want to quickly mention that this is the last chapter of Gang Wars. As I said before I am cancelling this series. I will not be carrying it on and even though there are tons of unanswered questions I shall not return to this series if I do it will be very different. Thank you for understanding and enjoy. ————————————————————————————————— Inside the capital lies hundreds of different buildings, from small family homes to corporate skyscrapers looking down on society. At the centre of it all is one building that towers over the rest, that is where […] - [Continuous School Chapter 30: Dancing within the Shadows](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/continuous-school-chapter-30-dancing-within-the-shadows/): [Wednesday, Evening] ‘In this world, there are people who will do anything for the ones they love. They may not even notice, they don’t have to notice. As long as they are safe that is all that matters to them. Happiness is born from satisfaction.’ The lights shined bright upon the stage revealing tables and chairs arranged to fit a school. Sitting by himself reading was Ethan, relaxed on his chair and enjoying himself as he flips through the pages. That was when Owen walked in. “Hey… Dude! Did you hear?” Ethan ignored Owen. He was too immersed in his book […] - [Continuous School Chapter 29: Performance Preparation](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/continuous-school-chapter-29-performance-preparation/): [Wednesday, After School] All our lessons today were cancelled so we could prepare ourselves for this moment. We were minutes away from performing in front of an audience of a hundred people. As we weren’t the only group performing all the parents and family had gathered to watch us, including our own, as well as our fellow students. We were preparing our lines all day, doing multiple run-throughs, making sure we all knew what the plan was and that we would all get them right. All the others look calm compared to me, I think everything else just has a good […] - [Gang Wars Cancellation](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/gang-wars-cancellation/): Well here is a post I thought I would never have to make. I’m not going to delay it and I’ll just announce it first and explain why after. My weekly Web Novel Gang Wars that I was uploading here is sadly being cancelled. There are multiple reasons for this and during the time it was on break I had been thinking about this seriously. I have decided to cancel Gang Wars. Firstly, I’d like to apologise to those that were looking forward to Gang Wars’ return. I didn’t want to have to cancel it but I think it’s for the […] - [Continuous School Chapter 28: Performance Anxiety](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/continuous-school-chapter-28-performance-anxiety/): [Saturday, Afternoon] I’m currently sitting in my room in front of my desk. Laptop open, Textbook spread out, pen in hand. The curtains are open and a bright wonderful beam of light is hitting the side of my face, lightening my attitude. The sound of the birds as they sing their wonderful songs, and the wonderful bees that fly around working their hardest. I look out my window and think of what a wonderful world it truly is. I face back forward and start to write down notes for my upcoming exams. Completely prepared for anything that comes my way. That’s […] - [Continuous School Chapter 27: Old Maid](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/continuous-school-chapter-27-old-maid/): [Satruday, 3 Years ago] We had just gotten out of school on one cold winters day and we didn’t really know what to do. “Why don’t you come over to my house, we can play some games. You’ve already met my family before so it won’t be awkward.” Ethan said. Since we don’t have anything else to do I guess we could. “Sure, let me just call my mum and tell her I’ll be home late.” “I should probably call my brother.” Going Ethan’s always had problems. I called my parents to make sure it was ok, whilst Sean called his […] - [Continuous School Chapter 26: The Tales of Drizz and Gang Episode 4](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/continuous-school-chapter-26-the-tales-of-drizz-and-gang-episode-4/): Last time on Drizz and Gang. The three adventurers fought against a pack of wolves attacking the village, trying everything they could to defend the villagers. After Eden attempts a spell that nearly causes the destruction of the whole village the three of them pass out. When they wake Nicholas and Drizz find out that Eden has been captured and plan to save her. Shortly after waking up we borrowed resources from the village to prepare ourselves for whatever was ahead of us. I borrowed arrows and a new bow since my last one had burnt during Eden’s fireball of death. […] - [Continuous School Chapter 25: The Tales of Drizz and Gang Episode 3](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/continuous-school-chapter-25-the-tales-of-drizz-and-gang-episode-3/): Last time on Drizz and Gang! Our three adventurers successfully escaped the never-ending forest and found themselves on the top of a dangerous cliff overlooking a small village. The three notice the village was under attack by wolves and start to wonder what to do. Having only one option Nicholas decided to grab the others and jump off the cliff, with no clue if they will survive. It felt as if we were falling for hours, I couldn’t tell what way was up, and I’m sure Nicholas has gone deaf from me screaming in his ear like a little girl. Nicholas was […] - [Continuous School Chapter 24: The Tales of Drizz and Gang Episode 2](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/continuous-school-chapter-24-the-tales-of-drizz-and-gang-episode-2/): Last time on Dirzz and Gang. Three randomly adventurers mysteriously ended up in a forest covered in roots growing all around them. The three who have just met must work together to try and escape this forest. Now back to the adventure. Although I couldn’t see the sun because of the trees I was quite familiar with nature, I could easily tell what time it was and to my calculation, we had been walking around for hours. Normally I would have stepped in right now and used some sort of tracking to figure out where we need to go; if only […] - [Continuous School Chapter 23: Ideal Date](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/continuous-school-chapter-23-ideal-date/): [Monday, Lesson 1 – English] “I’ve got a question for you?” Immediately at the start of the lesson Ethan has sprung up onto me and has started asking me a question, typically I’d be fine with whatever but for some reason I was worried. “What is your ideal date?” I didn’t know why I was worried about this question, for some reason I felt anxious as if this would come to bite me later in life. “Hmm? Ideal date, huh?” I was a simple man, I didn’t care for extravagant dates that required a lot of money, I was happy just […] - [Continuous School Chapter 22: Halloween](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/continuous-school-chapter-22-halloween/): [Sunday, Halloween] Today was what a lot of people consider to be the scariest day of the year, for us we don’t do anything special. All we do is meet up at Ethan’s house and play games and devour a giant bowl of sweets. That’s all there is, let’s just end this chapter here, it’s kinda boring if you ask me… Or so we thought… “Hwey…. Chomp chomp Owen… Chomp… Wan a wo? Chomp Chomp” “Stop chewing and talking it’s gross.” “It’s a wery chewy weet…” “I don’t care if it’s chewy or rock hard just don’t talk, it’s not that […] - [Continuous School Chapter 21: Workforce part 2](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/continuous-school-chapter-21-workforce-part-2/): [Saturday, Night] With only just over an hour left on my shift, I tried everything I could to avoid Kaylee. I decided to stay at the back in the warehouse and move boxes while she took the front and served customers. It was a small company we were the only people dumb enough to take the late shifts, even our boss went home. I was torn, unsure if I should quit or not, my parents would kill me if I quit. I’m just being selfish… We both carried on working with little interaction, there were times where I could see she […] - [WebNovel Changes [Update 14/05/2019]](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/webnovel-changes-update-14-05-2019/): Continuous School is now on WebNovel! At this moment in time, Continuous School has officially been uploaded to Webnovel. You can find a link to it below but I just wanted to take this moment to answer some questions. This blog will still be used and posts of Continuous School will be uploaded to both this blog and Webnovel. However, currently, only Continuous School is on Webnovel as there are currently no plans to move Gang Wars to it until after it returns. 2. Should we follow this blog or the Webnovel page? It’s up to you. Since both are going […] - [Continuous School Chapter 20: Workforce Part 1](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/continuous-school-chapter-20-workforce-part-1/): [Saturday, Evening] This evening was uneventful like any other, boring would be how I’d describe it. Today’s regularly scheduled broadcast isn’t brought to you by your usual host, but instead by me, Ethan! I bet were expecting Owen, but it was me, Ethan! Recently I’ve been forced to get a job and today is my first day, it’s a simple job in a little warehouse-like shop in the small city where we live. I’ve only been here for a few minutes and I was told to wait around for the other employee who will apparently show me the ropes. I’m not […] - [Continuous School Chapter 19: Dodgeball](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/continuous-school-chapter-19-dodgeball/): [Friday, lesson 3 – PE] One of the deadliest but also most fun times was when we all got to play dodgeball, who didn’t like to pelt balls at fast speeds directly at people they hated. The ‘Elite’ kids, you know the ones that are super sporty, all seem to have the special ability to throw the balls at speeds of around Mach 1, thankfully for me, I’ve come up with a master strategy, it was a simple strategy able to win matches, even wars, allow me to explain. First, hide at the back behind everyone; second, don’t get hit. Easy […] - [I always grew up not understanding TV](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/i-always-grew-up-not-understanding-tv/): I always grew up not understanding TV. I felt as if the people playing roles were doing just that, playing a part. As I grew older, I started to watch TV and film. I started to watch TV and film. I thought the people I were watching were nothing like the people who were saying the lines. The character says the lines, but the person speaking them is different. But I continued to watch. I continued to understand. It was never about seeing it in one way I wanted. It was about expression. It was a way for actors, directors, and […] - [I get anxious when things are going well](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/i-get-anxious-when-things-are-going-well/): Once something feels as if it is going right, it doesn’t feel real. Eventually, it will all be taken away. This temporary feeling of happiness is nothing more than passing time. I have experienced so many moments that have made me think nothing will go my way, that once something seems as if it will be positive for me, I fear the worst. I fear that it will all fall apart and nothing will end up the way I want. It’s why I don’t try to get my hopes up. But I’m human. I want to believe it will go the […] - [Talking about Deep Song Lyrics #2 - Snow Patrol & NewJeans](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/talking-about-deep-song-lyrics-2-snow-patrol-newjeans/): I’m back with some more song lyrics! Let’s talk about some songs and figure out the meaning together. If you have any song lyrics you want me to look at, let me know in the comments, or if you have any other thoughts about the songs I pick, leave a comment! Basically, comment! Before we begin, I am more than likely to incorrectly interpret the meanings of these lyrics, but this is all my own guess and understanding. This is like an English exam, I’m just analysing what I’ve been given. There isn’t a right or wrong answer to this. Let’s […] - [Being human is so beautiful and crazy at the same time](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/being-human-is-so-beautiful-and-crazy-at-the-same-time/): I don’t know if this is an original quote or something someone else has said before, but I first saw this quote on a YouTube Short. “Being human is so beautiful and crazy at the same time.” – theappleciderresistance4925 In a world full of insanity, there is always going to be something beautiful in it. Emotions span so much.I don’t want to say human emotions, because even animals have the same emotions we do. They experience anger, sadness, happiness and love. The beautiful and the crazy. In one moment, everything is crazy and unkempt, yet the next it is a moment […] - [Three-Part Harmony - Screenplay excerpt](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/three-part-harmony-screenplay-excerpt/): Originally, Three Part Harmony started as a screenplay. The first draft of the first episode started in 2025, and eventually, after failing to write a screenplay, I turned it into a book that was released in 2026. If you want to find out about the novel, you can check the Novels section of this blog. I have never written a screenplay before. I tried to format it based on what I could find about other screenplays; I mainly used Doctor Who ones, which you can find on the BBC’s website. There are probably a lot of things that I could do […] - [I am nobody unique](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/i-am-nobody-unique/): This post was originally written in July 2024 I am nobody unique. I am far from a person with individual experiences. Ultimately, it can come down to the fact that what I am experiencing isn’t original. Someone before me has felt the pain and annoyance I am feeling. An annoyance of not being worth anything. Or an annoyance of being worth something. There will be many more to come, as there were many more before me. These feelings we will never escape. As humans, our worth is valued and set by many factors. Society has caused us to want to be […] - [Writing my Novella "Oscar Pat - The Rewritten World"](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/writing-my-novella-oscar-pat-the-rewritten-world/): I’ve never considered myself to be a good writer. I had zero experience when starting and have never taken a creative writing course or any professional writing course. I see my writing as a way to just do whatever I want. I try to write in my own style and way, believing that someone somewhere will enjoy it. As I wrote the Oscar Pat series, my writing definitely improved. However, I still truly cannot say that it is great. I struggled a lot with writing this book, and I almost scrapped the whole thing multiple times. It was only through accepting […] - [The Door (Short Story)](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/the-door-short-story/): At first, there was a black darkness.  A wall of what seemed to be nothing.  I could feel my consciousness, yet I was looking at nothing.  After a few seconds that felt like minutes, light returned to my eyes. A vision one would pay millions to see, a vision of the giant planet I called home spinning slowly before my eyes. The sun lit up half, whilst city lights illuminated the other. I could see and hear everything happening down in the world below me, clear as if I were right next to them. I knew I couldn’t call out to […] - [Talking about Deep Song Lyrics #1 - Chappell Roan & ABBA](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/talking-about-deep-song-lyrics-1-chappell-roan-abba/): The best part of art is that it is largely open to interpretation. We could read the same poem but have different understandings. The original writer could tell us what they wanted to write, and we could both have been wrong. Personally, I don’t listen to what the author would say, and I would go with my own interpretation if I liked my understanding better. I’d say Music is the most open to interpretation. Books are long, so you have time to figure it all out, but songs are only a couple of minutes, and most people don’t listen to songs […] - [Writing My Novella "Three-Part Harmony"](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/writing-my-novella-three-part-harmony/): It’s been some time since I talked about one of my books here. I know there are a few other books that I could talk about, and I will get to those eventually. For now, let’s discuss my latest book, Three-Part Harmony. Or as it was known throughout its entire 5-ish years of development: “School Band” I will try to avoid spoilers, but there may be some hints and clues. If you want to read the book, you can find it in the Novels section of this site or in the section to the right I will try to avoid spoilers, […] - [Three-Part Harmony: Chapter 1 Preview](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/three-part-harmony-chapter-1-preview/): At the end of May, I’ll be releasing another book. Here you can read the first 4 pages. The eBook is currently available to pre-order on my Amazon page. Also, keep an eye out for more posts on this blog! I will be trying my best once the book is released to get back into this blog! Chapter 1 Park, Leo, & Patrick The weather is sharp, but there is a rhythm in the heart of everyone that can only be disturbed by the reality of life. The beat is in their steps, being created by the dreams in their hearts. […] - [Empty Space](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/empty-space/): Even in busy halls, opposite sides of the road, and crowded rooms, I always look for you. The space was always too great. Although the distance between us was only a couple of people, it was never as close as I wanted. It wasn’t that I was unable to go and talk to you; it was that I couldn’t. I couldn’t bring myself to force my way into your life like a wrecking ball, ready to crush and trample something someone spent hours crafting. Even if I know I’m not significant enough to be a wrecking ball, I know that I’d […] - [I feel as if I have messed up](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/i-feel-as-if-i-have-messed-up/): I feel as if I have messed up. I felt I was given a chance, but I missed it. I couldn’t see it. I couldn’t see the chance that you gave me. I was given a chance to make life go the way I want. And yet, I was unable to see it. I have missed it. I had missed it multiple times before. Time and time again, I’m given a time for life to work out the way I want. Time and time again, life doesn’t work out the way I want. Is that because of what has to be? […] - [The smile that illuminated the world](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/the-smile-that-illuminated-the-world/): Her smile illuminated my life. Our interaction was only for a short while, but during that moment, I created a thousand words just to say to you. I wrote poems and sonnets about how I felt, and I drew pictures in my head that showed you just how beautiful you were. You were a dream in my mind, but you barely knew I existed. ‘At least for now’ is what I hoped. You’ll forget about me eventually, as I will forget about you. The two of us only shared an interaction due to our circumstances, but that was enough for me. […] - [A Common Question](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/a-common-question/): A common question: Have you met the one? Yes. I’ve met the one. What were they like? They were perfect. They understood me. They respected me. They knew what I was going through. They made me laugh. They made me smile. They were taken. They belonged to someone else. There was no place for me. I have met the one. I have encountered the perfect person for me. Or so I believed. I have met the person for me at that time. Is what I say as I am in denial. I have met the one. They don’t know it, but […] - [I want to tell you how I feel](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/i-want-to-tell-you-how-i-feel/): I want to tell you how I feel. I want to say it out loud I want to say it as if I was proud. I want to tell you how I feel. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I want to spend the rest of my days with you. I want to tell you how I feel. I want you to see me for me. I want you to know me for me. I want to tell you how I feel. I can’t speak the words in my mind. No matter how deep I search, […] - [Childish Grin](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/childish-grin/): Am I allowed to have a childish grin on my face? Am I, an adult past my prime, allowed to feel as if I am back to my youth. The feeling of joy when something finally goes right. The feeling of joy when you finally feel as if your heart is no longer chained by burden. You struggle and fight against a chain that ties you down. A single thought or thread that keeps you from thinking of sanity. You feel as if you are finally going insane, Yet one thing brings you back to sanity. Your brain causes you to […] - [I feel like I'm running out of time](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/i-feel-like-im-running-out-of-time/): Sometimes in my mind, I feel as if I have no time. I feel like I am chasing something and that if I do not act quickly, then I will lose it. As if within the span of a minute it could all change.  My heart doesn’t rest because of this. I have no idea what it is, but I feel as if I should act now. I feel as if I should take the risk and the gamble on whatever troubles my heart. I feel a sense of regret, sitting deeply below, which will surely take over and cause a […] - [I Believe I was a fool](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/i-believe-i-was-a-fool/): I believe I was a fool I think I was a fool for thinking that you loved me. I was an idiot for thinking we had a chance.I told myself lies until I smiled to sleep. I kept dreaming until I could no longer desire to stay awake. All because I loved you. I kept thinking of what could be. I kept thinking that you felt the same. We were both too shy to say. We were both unable to say. We had our reasons. We didn’t think the other liked the other. I was wrong. I was foolish. I was […] - [2024: My Goals for 2025](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/2024-my-goals-for-2025/): Another year has ended. Another year has started. Life continues. In this post, I’ll be talking about my current plans for 2025, speaking mostly about projects and personal projects I hope to achieve. Every year, I create some plans for myself, and most of the time I fail most of them. Maybe 2025 will be different, maybe it won’t. But, I’m still going to create some goals for myself as a target to look back on when the year ends. First up, I want to do more exercise, I want to do more running and eventually work my way up to […] - [2024: Happy Holidays (Christmas Message)](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/2024-happy-holidays-christmas-message/): Merry Christmas! As always, I’m here with a little post to just say Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! There is nothing more to it, but this time of year is a time for friends and family. It is a time when everyone around the world understands each other. But sadly, life isn’t always fair. There are people out there who cannot celebrate in the way they want. I won’t discuss any of that here, everyone has their own opinions on the matter. But, I just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. - [The Snowflake That Falls (Short Story)](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/the-snowflake-that-falls-short-story/): If the snowflakes knew that they would eventually melt away, would they fall? If the snowflakes knew that they would turn to water and then to nothing, would they still grace us with their fun? If the snowflakes knew they were loved by many, yet unknown to most, would they share themselves with the few they do? The wind blows them about, in a captivating dance. Fluttering down to the ground, round and round. Running and swerving around. Would you say the same about us? Even if it melts away, why shouldn’t it fall? Even if we turn into nothing, why […] - [2024: The Best Of…](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/2024-the-best-of/): Another year has gone by. As always, I like to create a post about my favourite things of the year. This could be my favourite TV show, film, song, game or whatever. The only rule is that I must have discovered it in 2024. That means, even if it came out in 1981 if I first watched/listened/read/played it this year, it counts. Let’s begin. FILM: This was tricky, because I thought I had an answer, but recently watched a film I enjoyed just as much. But, I’ll stick with the recent film. I just had so much fun watching it. It […] - [2024: Did I achieve my goals? (Yearly Roundup)](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/2024-did-i-achieve-my-goals-yearly-roundup/): 2024 is coming to an end. It’s been a hell of a year. Just like in 2023, it was painful. It was a very slow and gruelling year that beat me up mentally. But, did I achieve the goals I discussed at the end of last year? Probably not. Honestly, I can’t remember any of them. I’m having to look them up now. In 2024, I’ve been so confused and uncertain about what direction I want my life to go in. I’ve been so close to just throwing a lot away. This blog was once a place where I would write […] - [There are times](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/there-are-times/): There are times. There are times when I want to just speak out loud There are times when I just want to say what I want to say. There are times when I believe a lot of things. There are times when I am correct. There are times when I think I am wrong. There are times when I am happy to just be able to talk to you. There are times when the memories I make of us together are greater than anything else. There are times when I know we can’t be together. There are times when I wish […] - [In comparison to others](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/in-comparison-to-others/): In comparison to others, I’m doing ok. In comparison to others, I’m doing great. There are people in this world who will hate someone because of such a minor thing. If the above paragraph was understood by you. I can only offer my condolences, but then again, you may be the person I’m talking about. Everyone in this world is selfish. Everyone has an ego. That ego, that selfishness, is what affects others. I know many people that are effected by the ego of those that they trust dearly. Your partner. Your parents. Your friends. Your family. Ego is the killer. […] - [Why do I write?](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/why-do-i-wirte/): Why do I write? Why do I live? Why do I sniff my own farts? I write because it helps me enjoy life. I write because by doing so I am experiencing a life I wish I was able to experience more of. The human mind is able to create so many wonders. The human mind creates so much anxiety, that in doing so it creates all new scenarios and wonders.  That is why I write. I write because by doing so I create a life that others can exist in. Others can find themselves in the stories or the life. […] - [I hate a lot](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/i-hate-a-lot/): I hate a lot. I personally think that humanity cannot be saved. I believe that we are doomed. I don’t enjoy living because so many people make life not worth living. These people make life the worst but act as if they own their own lives. I cannot understand that. Some people believe they are owed a life and don’t owe a life. Many people think they have another life waiting for them, which is why they act the way they do. Yet, they are just in denial. No one has any idea what is waiting for them. You can claim […] - [I want to speak to God.](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/i-want-to-speak-to-god/): I want to speak to God. I’m not even sure I believe in such a creature. I believe that something must exist, whatever it may be. But, after looking at life, it cannot be all kind. It cannot be all-knowing. And it cannot be all-powerful. If it claims to be then it is no God. No God would accept and continue to let life happen. No God would make excuses as to why we must suffer the way we do. No God would make us do this. No God would make you do this. If one day, I saw a being […] - [Rent-a-girlfriend (Kanojo, Okarishimasu) a letter](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/rent-a-girlfriend-kanojo-okarishimasu-a-letter/): It may exist in real life, I do not know. It is not the concept of renting a girlfriend that bothers me, it is the characters. Here is an open letter, to the main character of the “hit” manga Rent-a-girlfriend. If you do not know about this awful Manga/anime, you are lucky, but you can find out more here: https://myanimelist.net/manga/108407/Kanojo_Okarishimasu Dear Kazuya, Stop thinking. I’m sick and tired of turning the page only to find the awful thought bubbles. All you think about is the girl you love but you never think of anything constructive. You just look at her as […] - [2023: My goals for 2024](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/2023-my-goals-for-2024/): I went into 2023 expecting things to be different and get better. I’ve already spoken about how 2023 bullied me so we won’t go into any more details. For now, let’s focus on my goals for 2024. I have very few plans for 2024. Let’s start with plans for Game Development. In 2024, I will release version 11 of Drink To That, the final major version planned. Alongside this, I’ll update Marbles Racing Down with one major update and Majority Rules will also get an update. That’s it for game development. I’d love to release more but I don’t see it […] - [2023: Happy Holidays (Christmas Message)](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/2023-happy-holidays-christmas-message/): Another Year another Christmas day. Although, you could say that about any day. I had a quick reread of my Christmas post from last year, and I don’t think I’ll be able to top that. I said a lot, on this day, last year. So let’s keep it short and sweet. Christmas this year is going to be strange. After a terrible 2023, I can’t say that I’m as excited as I was last year. But, it’s still a time I look forward to regardless, mostly because it’s a time when people can have a rest without feeling guilty. Anyway, Merry […] - [Smokey Illumination (Short Story)](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/smokey-illumination-short-story/): The atmosphere was smokey, but that could have been my memories of that night. A Christmas party with work ended up leaving me alone when everyone decided that they wanted to go home early. They ate, and then they left. “That’s fine.” I thought. I decided to stay at the bar and have another drink or two. As I did my usual order, a whiskey and coke, I saw the girl beside me ordering some drinks. She looked a similar age to me, someone forced to come to their work Christmas Party despite only having started a little over a year […] - [2023: The Best Of...](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/2023-the-best-of/): The year ends. Now I have decided on my favourite things of the year. As always, the only rule is that I discovered it this year. It could have been released a few years ago, but since I first discovered it this year, it is allowed. Let’s begin Film: Spider-Man: Across the Spider-verse Possibly, my favourite film ever made. I watched it in the cinema and fell in love. I couldn’t look away because I wanted to watch every little moment again and again. It’s a film I’d say impacted me more than I realise. I watched it with wonder. I […] - [2023: Did I achieve my goals? (Yearly Roundup)](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/2023-did-i-achieve-my-goals-yearly-roundup/): 2023 is over. I did several recaps in the year, but now for the last recap. Let’s start by going over my goals for 2023. That was copied from my last post. Not much has changed. During the time between September and now, I was mostly working. I went on holiday for 2 weeks and explored various parts of Norway. I got to see the Northern Lights and went Kayaking in the Arctic Circle. It was a lot of fun and I would love to do it again. But enough about that, let’s talk about the whole year. It was hard. […] - [Writing my novella: 'Devotion To Despondency'](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/writing-my-novella-devotion-to-despondency/): I haven’t written about my books in a long time. Today, I’ll be talking about my most recent book, Devotion To Despondency. Before we begin, spoiler warning. I will be talking about spoilers towards the end of this post. You’ve been warned. You can buy the book with the link below, and give it a read before returning. Let’s begin. Devotion To Despondency focuses heavily on mental health, but mainly anxiety. For those who don’t know, I struggle with both of those things. Devotion to Despondency was partly my way of explaining how I feel and how it frustrates me. I […] - [Devotion To Despondency (Advert)](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/devotion-to-despondency-advert/): It’s been a while since I’ve written a novella. I struggled to find the motivation to complete anything. Luckily, I was hit with a burst of energy and wrote a new novella over a month or so. It’s an interesting read as it is something that many people can probably relate to. I’ll eventually get around to writing a “Writing My…” post about it, along with some other books I haven’t done yet, but for now, go read this one. I can’t promise you’ll enjoy it or even like it, but give it a try. Check it out on Amazon. It’s […] - [Am I the same person I was years ago?](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/am-i-the-same-person-i-was-years-ago/): No. To answer the question. No. To quote ABBA: “I’m not the same this time around” Every year, everyone changes. We are not the people we were yesterday. You have learnt and you have understood. The people you are remembering is a version of you that no longer exists. The you of the present is a unique person that did not exist years ago. But, the modern person can only exist with acknowledgement of the past. If you cannot accept your past, you cannot move on. You are a different person from the past, but only if you understand your past. […] - [You don't deserve](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/you-dont-deserve/): Do you think that you deserve better? What have you done in your life that others have not? Do you think that you are better than others? Why do you think you should be treated differently? No one in this world deserves better. You may think you do, but why do you think you do? I don’t think anyone does because to say you do is to diminish everyone else’s accomplishments: those who came before and those who will come. To tell them you deserve better is to say that you are better than them. Yet, you wouldn’t be here without […] - [Reviewing my 2023 goals (Quarter Three)](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/reviewing-my-2023-goals-quarter-three/): Almost to the end of the year. Time is moving too quickly. First, let’s remind ourselves of my goals. We are now in the final stretch of the year. Time has gone by too quickly. In fact, I’ll say I hate how quickly it’s gone. July and August were very tiring months for me as I was struggling to find a balance between work and many other aspects of my life. Luckily, those have slowed down, for now, and I’m back into my usual routine. So, let’s go over what I’ve achieved since my last update in June. Starting with the […] - [I feel like I am taking all the wrong actions](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/i-feel-like-i-am-taking-all-the-wrong-actions/): I feel like I am taking all the wrong actions In a world where every action leads to a different outcome, and every effort is possible, I feel I’m making the wrong ones. Even tiny things can create a ripple. Just complimenting someone will make their whole day, and insulting someone may ruin theirs. They say you need to work for what you want, and that is true. But there are times when no matter how hard you work, for whatever goal you desire, you cannot win. It feels like you are in an impossible battle against yourself and whatever greater […] - [What you say and what you meant to say](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/what-you-say-and-what-you-meant-to-say/): The difference between what you say and what you want to say. People may not understand what you tell them. You may mean something different. In a world of various voices, speaking is important but difficult. Language has many different meanings and interpretations. What you say could mean multiple things. You are probably taught that it is important to get your point across more than anything else. But even then, is that good enough? Many refuse to listen to your point regardless of how accurate or important it may be. People are so deaf to other opinions that finding someone who […] - [Did I do all I could?](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/did-i-do-all-i-could/): Did I do all I could? It’s impossible to say. A common theory is that every action creates an alternate dimension where a different action was taken. This means that there is an infinite number of universes where things end up how you want them to be. This also means that there is a universe where your current life could drastically change due to stepping on a different piece of pavement. Who can say what is true? Who can say if fate has any role to play in your own life, or if fate is what you make of it? Your […] - [I'll never get what I imagine](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/1892-2/): The brain works in strange ways. When covered in anxiety, the brain can create a hundred unique scenarios about an event. When the event happens, none of the scenarios you thought of will come true. Either you cannot predict people, or you cannot assume that your life is so simple. Life is complex and impossible to predict. Humans live their lives dreaming of the perfect experience but may miss out on it by one minor detail. You can experience perfection but be brought to your knees by a minor inconvenience. Life isn’t fair. The majority of people will experience a life […] - [In my mind, I say this every week](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/in-my-mind-i-say-this-every-week/): In my mind, I say this every week. In my mind, I say this every day. Tomorrow will be different. Tomorrow will be when I get up and do what I want to do. Every day this is the same. Every weekend I go through the same routine. Yet, tomorrow that changes. Then, next week it changes. Then, next month it changes. Then, next year it changes. It changes when I decide it changes, but it stays the same because deep down I am unable to commit to the changes I desire in my life. I know what I want out […] - [Do you ever wish for something special?](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/do-you-ever-wish-for-something-special/): Do you ever wish to be special? Do you ever wish to be different from everyone else? Probably 99% of people live the same life. 99% of people die to be forgotten by history and life. Do you ever wish that you weren’t part of the 99%? It’s almost impossible to say how to be different. A large majority of life is luck. Most people live their lives being lucky but never acknowledging it. Yet, the people that complain about luck also won’t acknowledge it when they get it. If you wish to be different from everyone else, you can only […] - [The live band (Short Story)](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/the-live-band-short-story/): Dim lights blasted on his face, almost trapping him in the darkness, but he knew that darkness would mean he would need to sleep. The music blasted in his ears as if the whole band was playing live. He sang along with his eyes closed, the singer performing right in front of him. His hands raised from his side, he started playing alongside the guitarist. Yet, he had to open his eyes. The time, the state his body was in, and the thoughts in his mind had all culminated. He wasn’t ok. He stopped singing as his heart beat heavily. Another […] - [Reviewing my 2023 goals (Quarter two)](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/reviewing-my-2023-goals-quarter-two/): We are around halfway through the year, so I once again find myself reflecting on what has come. It’s certainly been a cold year, but I’m glad to see we are now having warm (although very wet) weather. First, let’s remind ourselves of my goals. So, let’s go into detail about the progress I’ve made on certain things. Starting from the top of the list, releasing 2 games. I’ve released one! I finished reviving that old project I mentioned and released it as Block Swipe! Available now on Android. Additionally, I’ve also updated Drink To That a bit and created a […] - [I don't think I've made an impact](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/i-dont-think-ive-made-an-impact/): Like the remaining 99.9%, I don’t think I’ve made an impact. I don’t think I’ve done anything special or different from those who came before me. I think that my story will be forgotten, as will the remaining 99.9%. In comparison to everyone who came before, I am no one. There are many figures forgotten by history, and many history wishes to forget. Yet, even those that were overshadowed can still stand out. Salieri was overshadowed by Mozart, yet we still know his name. Mozart may have been a genius, but Salieri is not forgotten. This begs the question, what is […] - [Slippyfop Games Shop (Advert)](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/slippyfop-games-shop-advert/): Alongside this blog, I make games under the name Slippyfop Games. You may have seen the section on this blog or may even follow the blog I created for Slippyfop Games, but that’s not important. Today, I’m talking about the new Slippyfop Game Shop! This shop is a great place to go to get various clothing-based items, and other items, all designed around my games. There are tons of designs already up with many more to come, so go check it out with the link below. This is a great way to support me whilst getting something in return. I have […] - [Be the person that appears in the History books, not the person someone doing their Master's degree discovered because of their very niche topic](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/be-the-person-that-appears-in-the-history-books-not-the-person-someone-doing-their-masters-degree-discovered-because-of-their-very-niche-topic/): If you want change be the person that appears in the History books, not the person someone doing their Master’s degree discovered because of their very niche topic.If you want change be the person that is taught to all, not the person who screams about it on social media. History has shown change has come from one historical figure leading, while there are many supporters. Many had their methods and showed it worked, but there needs to be a trigger to set it off. As of this moment, no one seems to want to be that leader. No one wants to […] - [Reviewing my 2023 goals (Quarter one)](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/reviewing-my-2023-goals-quarter-one/): I’m going to do something different. I want to see how I progress with my goals each month. I talked about my goals in my end-of-year post, and I want to talk about how much I’ve achieved. I plan to do this throughout the year. And since we are about a quarter of the way there, I thought I’d start now, and try to do the next lot every three months, ending on the big end-of-year post for 2023. First, let’s remind ourselves of my goals. These are my standard goals, and most of them are continuous. However, there is one […] - [Oscar Pat: The Rewritten World Release (Advert)](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/oscar-pat-the-rewritten-world-release-advert/): It’s been almost 2 years, but I can finally say that Oscar Pat: The Rewritten World is now available for purchase on Amazon. This is the 5th and final book in the Oscar Pat Saga. It is the end of a series I had a lot of fun with, but also had a lot of pain with. Oscar Pat 5, as I always called it, isn’t my favourite piece of work. I was hit by really bad writer’s block and wanted to rewrite the whole thing multiple times. However, I knew rewriting it meant that it would never be released. As […] - [An Update on Game Development](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/an-update-on-game-development/): If you have been on this blog for a while, you’ll know I make games. Originally, I posted about them under the “games” tab, however this time things are moving. All posts regarding my games will be on a new blog: https://slippyfopgames.wordpress.com This blog will have detailed patch notes, updated information, game knowledge and more. The game section in this blog will not be going anywhere, but a link will be added so you can follow that blog if you wish. The link is below, be sure to follow so you get notified when I post. Thanks for reading! https://slippyfopgames.wordpress.com - [This blog's 4th anniversary (of posting)](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/this-blogs-4th-anniversary-of-posting/): 4 years ago today, I started posting on this blog. I only recently started doing this anniversary post, because I usually forget; but this time I haven’t. I don’t know what I can talk about during this, so I shall use this as a time to thank you all and to be a little selfish. First, I want to thank you all for reading and sticking with me. I know I’m not the best writer, but I do try my best. Thank you all for the follows, likes, comments, shares and more. Thank you all. Now, to be selfish. I wish […] - [The Bedroom Clock (Short Story)](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/the-bedroom-clock-short-story/): 3 AM was the usual time I went to sleep. I always slept the same way every night. My face was to the wall, my back to the room. I wrapped the duvet over my head to keep warm throughout the night. The night was usually quiet, with the occasional fox’s scream in the garden. But this time, I heard the ticking of a clock. The constant ticking was loud as if it was directly in my room. Each tick wasn’t as perfect as the last as the pitch modulated. I don’t have a clock in my room. I removed it […] - [No matter what I'm just going to hate myself](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/no-matter-what-im-just-going-to-hate-myself/): DISCLAIMER: This post does not directly reflect my thoughts or opinions and is purely an informatic/educational post about mental health. No matter what I’m just going to hate myself. No matter my actions, or my thoughts, in the end, I will regret them and wish I was never born. The actions that I take are what cause me to feel this way. The way I act and the people around me cause me to suffer great anxiety and pain. No matter what, I cannot convince myself that those around me are judging my every move and action. The above is a […] - [Writing my novella: 'The Hunting Trio'](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/writing-my-novel-the-hunting-trio/): It’s been a while since I did one of these posts. This time I’m going to be talking about my book The Hunting Trio. As always, there will be SPOILERS. Please go read it first before checking out this post. Let’s begin. To start, it’s a bit different to usual. I consider it part of my “Who cares” book selection. This is a selection of books I wrote that I didn’t care too much about it. I wrote it all with little notes and plans and mostly just went with whatever came to my head. It’s why some parts are weird […] - [2022: My goals for 2023](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/2022-my-goals-for-2023/): 2023 is only a few days away, and it’s scary. Every year I create a bunch of plans that I never end up completing. These plans are here for me to look back on how much I end up failing. It’s a reminder to myself that life can never be predicted and that sometimes it’s ok to fail. So let’s begin with the doable ones. To start, I want to read a book a month. Believe it or not but I don’t read, I hate it. So I’d like to try. Next, I want to release 2 games, one I’m working […] - [2022: Happy Holidays (Christmas Message)](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/2022-happy-holidays-christmas-message/): I always enjoy Christmas and the time leading up to it. I’d say it’s my favourite time of the year. I’m not a massively Christmassy person in the sense that I put up tons of decorations and such, but in the fact that I greatly enjoy the family time it creates. I grew up in a household where Christmas was a time for family. That’s what it was seen as. It was seen as a time for family and that’s how I’ll always see it. My family are close but not, we all get along well and see each other often, […] - [White-screened Christmas (Short Story)](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/white-screened-christmas-short-story/): To win the lottery requires an unrealistic amount of luck. The odds are too small for one man to ever comprehend, yet people win it regardless. I sit before my computer screen in the dark of the room, with its white monitor light staring into my eyes. Gentle snow falls down outside my window, but my closed curtains stop me from seeing that view. 3 AM. It’s not too late, the sun won’t be up for many more hours. The night is quiet as I stroll through all these emails. Each email starts with the same few words. “We are sorry…” […] - [2022: The best of...](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/2022-the-best-of/): Welcome to the end-of-year “Slippyfop Awards” where I talk about my favourite things I enjoyed from the year 2022. From TV to Manga. Music to my own blog posts. Let’s discuss it here. As always, the only rule is that I must have seen it for the first time this year. It could have come out in 1998 but as long as I saw/heard it for the first time this year, it counts. Before we start, this is all my opinion. You may disagree and that is ok. Favourite Song: Deciding on my favourite song is always hard. I discover so […] - [2022: Did I achieve my goals? (Yearly Roundup)](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/2022-did-i-achieve-my-goals-yearly-roundup/): 2022 is about to end. Honestly, I thought it was a very strange year. It was a year where I was forced back into many undesirable situations, but also a year where I had many moments I enjoyed. This is the start of my yearly roundup where I discuss various things that happened throughout my life this year. As always, we start with the goals I set myself at the start of the year. But, what did I do this year? Did I meet the goals that I spoke about here or did I fail miserably? Well, before we get to […] - [There are a million stories about people and fame](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/theres-a-million-stories-about-people-and-fame/): There are a million stories about people and fame. There are people who got famous after death. People who had a one-hit wonder followed by nothing else. And people who got it right the first try. I think it comes down to what you consider success. It’s ok to say success is this massive goal so long as you are determined to work towards it. But success can also be the littlest of accomplishments. The tiny little things you do daily are just as important as the final goal you strive for. What you define as success is also what is […] - [Doctor Who: The Power of the Doctor (Review)](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/doctor-who-the-power-of-the-doctor-review/): The final episode of Jodie Whittaker’s Doctor. Was it as bad as everyone thought it would be? Was it going to be a terrible mess with no good story like every episode? Or was it actually good? I’m writing this as I watch the episode, so ideally, if you’ve watched the episode already, you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about. Well, let’s start with how it opens. We get a fantastic shot of a train in space flying around at high speeds. It’s a cool but short-lived cinematic, then we find the Cybermen are attacking. But it’s not just any Cybermen, […] - [Sing that song aloud](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/sing-that-song-aloud/): Karaoke means an empty orchestra. It’s a Japanese word that might be more important than any other. To sing out loud is part of yourself. There comes a difference in confidence from being able to sing out loud. That is not to say that it is the perfect confidence, but it is certainly the perfect confidence for yourself. By singing out loud in your room, you are accepting yourself. You are accepting your flaws and not caring. You are allowing yourself to be free. Anxiety is often one thing that stops us from doing the things we love. Singing is the […] - [I am a man of many flaws](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/i-am-a-man-of-many-flaws/): I am a man of many flaws. Despite how it may seem, I am a human being, one similar to most in that they experience many weaknesses. But what are these weaknesses? Well, the two most prominent ones have plagued humanity for generations and will do for generations to come. Depression and Anxiety. I’ve written multiple times about anxiety, but those posts only offer brief salvation. I am displeased with my life. I am dissatisfied with myself. I am not living the life I wish to live, and I am nowhere near it. Is that a bad thing? Most would say […] - [Love Live! Superstar!! Season 2 Review](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/love-live-superstar-season-2-review/): Love Live! Superstar has just had its final episode. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to review this because I never reviewed season 1, but since I reviewed both Niji seasons, I guess I’ll review this. Slight spoiler warning: I’ll try my best to ignore all spoilers if I can. So, where do we begin? The story follows as our cast of 5 is now in their second year. They are still dancing, singing, practising and dealing with the new first-years in hopes of getting some new recruits. And they do just that. They get 4 new first-year recruits. So, this […] - [No one cares about what you are embarrassed about](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/no-one-cares-about-what-you-are-embarrassed-about/): I’ve spoken before about embarrassment, but it was only recently that I understood how to explain it better. No one cares about what you are embarrassed about. That is to say that whilst you worry about something, the other people involved aren’t. I’ve probably said this before, but this post is for myself. The people involved won’t care about your “embarrassing moment”. The reason you don’t remember other people’s embarrassing moments is that they don’t remember yours. The answer is that it simply doesn’t matter. However, let’s talk about something else, as I’ve said all this on the blog before. Overcoming […] - [You don’t need to prove yourself in a year](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/you-dont-need-to-prove-yourself-in-a-year/): You don’t need to prove yourself in a year. It’s easy to get into a mindset where you want to complete a million things in one year, but that isn’t reasonable. In fact, it’s just more damaging. I am someone who desires to do a lot in life, and coming to the understanding that it may not be possible is a harsh one, but then at times, you’ve got to remember how long life is. Some would say life is too short, but there is a lot that can be completed in such a short time. You may have your whole […] - [What do you do on those late nights when you stare blankly at the computer screen before you?](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/what-do-you-do-on-those-late-nights-when-you-stare-blankly-at-the-computer-screen-before-you/): What do you do on those late nights when you stare blankly at the computer screen before you? What do you do when you sluggishly drag the mouse along the screen, trying to uncover what to do with your life? What do you do when you sigh loudly only to fall back in your chair, exhausted at what little you’ve accomplished today?What can you do?What can you do but hope that the upcoming days will be different? There is nothing wrong with being unmotivated at a point in time, but there is a problem with succumbing to that lack of motivation […] - [Let's share our unpopular opinions](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/lets-share-our-unpopular-opinions/): I have a challenge for anyone with a blog: let’s post a few of our unpopular opinions. They can be about whatever you want. They can be about anime, games, writing, films, politics or anything, even how to make the perfect cheese toastie. I believe the word is better the more we communicate. That isn’t to say we should be questioning each other’s opinions, but we should be listening to their views first. The more people are willing to read, the more they understand. So, let’s share our opinions no matter how extreme. You can either explain your point or not. […] - [Live your best life regardless of opinion](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/live-your-best-life-regardless-of-opinon/): It’s easy to get embarrassed about something. For instance, it is easy to hate people watching you dance. But in reality, you should be living your best life. You should be able to get up and dance regardless of how you look, feel or even dance. You could be the worst dancer, but the world shouldn’t care, the world should dance along with you. Embracing your own self is the biggest step to self-happiness. If you can’t love yourself, then you stand no chance of loving anyone else. If you can’t make a fool of yourself and laugh with others, you’ll […] - [Drink To That - Old vs New](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/drink-to-that-old-vs-new/): Drink To That is a mobile drinking game I released earlier in 2022. Since its launch, it has had a few major updates and a complete redesign. So, let’s compare the old and the new. Let’s start by showing a bunch of old screenshots. You might look at the images and think they don’t look bad. And honestly, you’d be right. It does the job for what it should do. However, sadly there is a lot of strict competition in mobile games and one of the most significant factors is graphics. If the game looks bad it won’t even get a […] - [D'tox - Old vs New](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/dtox-old-vs-new/): If you didn’t know, I make video games. In fact, it’s what my university degree is in. I’m only 23 years of age, but I started making games when I was around 14/15. One of those games was Detox, or as it is now known D’tox. Today, I wish to share and compare the original that was released years ago and the modern update that launched in July 2022. To begin, let’s talk about what the game is. The game is a simple repetitive arcade-type game where you see how long you can last. You are attacked by waves of things […] - [The value of talent](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/the-value-of-talent/): Talent is highly valued. In everything, talent sets you apart from the crowd. In sports, the talented ones win or get scouted. In music, the talented ones get noticed. In writing, the same is true. This also applies to life. There is a talent involved in living, some people have it, and most people don’t. It’s not a clear talent that is given a set definition. Talent in life is different for everything. It can be broken down into every single aspect of living. But what I want to talk about is a desire to possess talent. Some would say that […] - [Writing my novel: 'Oscar Pat: The Filling Catalyst'](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/premium-writing-my-novel-oscar-pat-the-filling-catalyst/): It’s been a while since I last spoke about one of my books in detail like this, but I may as well return to talk about Oscar Pat: The Filling Catalyst. There will be spoilers for Oscar Pat 4, so you have been warned. Well, where do I begin? To start, let me explain my process. When I write these books I add various comments throughout, highlighting bits I’m not happy with or just things that I should double-check. This book was flooded with comments, more than any other book. The writing in this book became a mess as I started […] - [We will never all agree](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/we-will-never-all-agree/): Let’s get controversial. How? By talking about opinions. Opinions are controversial because every single person in this world can’t agree with you. There is no single thought or idea that 100% of the population agrees with. I’d even go as far to say there is no opinion that the whole of a country could agree on. But regardless of what someone may think, the important part is understanding between the two parties. If party A is unwilling to listen to party B, it makes it harder to understand party A’s reasoning. It’s simple to forget that the world around you is […] - [Rating my own books because I have an ego](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/rating-my-own-books-because-i-have-an-ego/): Everyone has an ego, and I’m going to fuel my own by rating my own books. I’ve written 13 books (not including web novels), and I’m going to rate them in order because I can, and I need something to post for this week. (This post is me, fueling my ego whilst I’m drunk. Ignore it if you want) Before we begin, check out my books! In last place: Is it Snowing yet. The reason this is last is mostly that it was written first. I like to think I’ve improved since then. I think it’s filled with a lot of […] - [Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club Season 2 (Review)](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/love-live-nijigasaki-high-school-idol-club-season-2-review/): The Love Live franchise is going strong with no sign of slowing down. We are getting new song releases from all 3 groups regularly, along with a new anime season far quicker than before. If you don’t know, Love Live is an idol anime that is extremely popular; the famous meme song Snow Halation came from the original group. Currently, Love Live has 3 active Idol groups, but today we are talking about group number 3, Nijigasaki School Idol Club, because they just had an anime release. I reviewed season 1, and if you want to read that, go over to […] - [I know my mistakes](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/i-know-my-mistakes/): I know my mistakes, but despite this, I still make the same ones. I learnt from my past experiences, and yet I never changed. But how can this be? If I have learnt from my mistakes, then why do I make them? The answer is because it’s not easy.  People can say all they want about becoming a better person, but no one truly understands how hard that is. Most people have probably never truly attempted to be better. Most people have never messed up so badly that they wish to change. It can take many voices before one person realises […] - [An important update](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/an-important-update/): Hi, It’s me and it’s time for an update, but probably the most important one yet! Around a few days ago I started feeling ill, it wasn’t covid but it was similar. It caused me to be bedridden for a day with a bad sore throat but that was it, until late evening on May 14th where my asthma started to take a turn for the worst. For the entirety of May 15th, I was in the hospital where they kept me to make sure I was fine. They gave me all the stuff and medication to help with my breathing […] - [Gang Wars Chapter 15: The Engineer](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/gang-wars-chapter-15-the-engineer/): As per the mysterious voice’s request, Kyle was taken from his cell. He was dragged heavily from his cell as he refused to be taken. But little did he know, this was his best chance. The thoughts of escape were right in his mind, but as Clown dragged him by the chains around his neck, he knew that was impossible. A single lift was at the end, to which the two stepped in. “Where are we going?” Kyle asked but received no response. The lift took them up. High up. Far higher than Kyle would have assumed. Until DING The doors […] - [Drink to that - Drinking Game (Advert)](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/drink-to-that-drink-game-advert/): Hey, it’s me, the advert. Once again, I am advertising something I created, this time it’s a mobile game! This mobile game is a drinking game that requires 2 to 12 players. Due to Apple considering drinking games as “spam” the game will not be allowed on the App Store and is only available on Android It’s similar to a lot of drinking games out there where the phone tells you what to do, but the biggest difference is that mine is 100% free! Every game mode is free and will stay free! I have no intention of charging or starting […] - [Doctor Who: Legend of the Sea Devils (Review)](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/doctor-who-legend-of-the-sea-devils-review/): The second special of the year, Doctor Who Legend of the Sea Devils, just finished airing and just like always, I’ll be going over my thoughts and opinions. Before I start, I’d like to say I have no nostalgic attachment to the Sea Devils, I’ve probably only seen 3 episodes of Classic Who and the Sea Devils weren’t one of them. However, I will say that the decision to include the Sea Devils feels as though Chris Chibnall has no confidence in his own stories or monster creation (I don’t blame him after the Pting). To me, it feels like a […] - [Gang Wars Chapter 14: The Prison](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/gang-wars-chapter-14-the-prison/): Inside the depths of the Capital’s central building lies a large underground prison. This prison contains all of the greatest threats, anyone who could get in Tom Reilly’s way was locked up there. The number of people inside the large cell was 28, but that number just became 29. Kyle’s body was chucked in by Clown who didn’t even stop to talk before moving out on another mission. The light wasn’t entering that deep down. All they could use were tiny little buzzing lights above to see one another. Kyle cautiously looked up at everyone else but saw no reason to […] - [3 AM Music - Passive loneliness](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/3-am-music-passive-loneliness/): I find that the introduction of “lo-fi hip hop beats to chill and relax to” has helped in many ways, more than people realise.  I feel like most people reading this would know what I’m talking about, but if not, then I suggest going on YouTube and searching for it. But for a quick explanation. On YouTube, there are types of videos often with the words “…to relax to” or “…to study to” in the title. These are hour-long videos or live streams that consist of various pieces of music. I won’t be talking about the music but instead the art […] - [The Nerves of Presenting: My tips](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/the-nerves-of-presenting-my-tips/): Anyone who says “I don’t get nervous” is lying. Everyone gets nervous; it’s a part of what makes us human. We get nervous because we are jumping into the unknown. We get nervous because we have something to fear, and if we have something to fear, that means we are smart. A man who fears nothing is going to meet a stupid death. A man who runs head-first into any situation is going to win a Darwin Award. By being nervous, we acknowledge that something could go wrong. By knowing something will go wrong, we can think and analyse how to […] - [Grave Digger (Short Story)](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/grave-digger-short-story/): Do you know the sound of a digging shovel? Do you hear the hard strike as it hits the Earth, tearing it apart? The shovel rips at the Earth, destroying the night. At 3 AM, when you are trying to sleep, you should only pray that you don’t hear the sound. Someone somewhere is digging, for their own reasons. Like that of a ticking clock, the constant rhythm makes it inhuman. Rumours say they are digging for those who were about to move on—graves in the gardens of their homes. You could only shut your window in hopes of drowning out […] - [Battle of the Four Towers - Out Now](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/battle-of-the-four-towers-out-now/): A little while back, I spoke about my new game Battle of the Four Towers. Well, that game is out now! You can download the game on Steam with this link: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1923480/Battle_of_the_Four_Towers/ And if you want, you can follow the blog below for more updates: https://battleofthe4towers.wordpress.com - [Gang Wars Chapter 13: The Clown](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/gang-wars-chapter-13-the-clown/): “Scott, are you seeing this?” Kyle said, hoping the connection had returned as he slowly stepped away from the strange man that walked closer. Each step felt like it was shaking the ground, as Clown wore heavy metal boots. “I’m seeing it…” Scott’s static voice gulped down all the sweat in his mouth. “Have you got a plan?” “Nope…” Kyle wanted to test the waters, he held his gun by his side, ready to lift it at any moment. His eyes were focused on Clown’s movement. Each step was slow but filled with impact. THUD Heavy steps only got closer as […] - [Battle of the Four Towers - Wishlist now!](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/battle-of-the-four-towers-wishlist-now/): If you’ve explored this blog then you may have noticed a “Games” section along the header. Inside this section is a game called Battle of the Four Towers! Battle of the Four Towers is a project I’ve been working on which was inspired by the manga Liar Game. For more information, check out that page. Because today, I want to ask for you to Wishlist this game on Steam! The game won’t release until March 19th but by wishlisting it, you are helping me climb the rankings on Steam! Sharing is also greatly appreciated. You can find a link below or […] - [To try again](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/to-try-again/): To try again takes more than just determination; it also takes courage. If you’ve fallen over, you’ve probably heard the laughter. Some sit down and laugh as you struggle to climb. Passive viewers get entertainment out of others’ failing. But those who do not try are doomed to stay where they are. If you’ve attempted to bake a cake, it probably didn’t turn out as you expected. You could follow the recipe, but sometimes things just don’t turn out as expected. There are always speed bumps on a road to remind you to slow down, but those are only there to […] - [Writing my novel: 'Years Of Hesitancy'](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/writing-my-novel-years-of-hesitancy/): Years of Hesitancy. A title I’m surprisingly proud of. By title, I don’t mean the whole book, I just mean the title ‘Years of Hesitancy’. Why don’t I like it? I’ll tell you. But first, here is a spoiler warning. This post will go into spoilers about my book Years of Hesitancy. If you haven’t read it, then you can find it with this link below. As always, let’s start by talking about inspiration. And once again, it was from a dream! This was an old dream, I think it happened around 7 years ago. Basically, I was in a strange […] - [This blog's 3rd anniversary (of posting)](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/this-blogs-1st-anniversary-of-posting-2/): An anniversary is always exciting as it gives you a reason to reflect Sadly, I never did an anniversary post last year. I can’t remember why, but it was probably because I decided to have a break. However, this last year was the year I decided to return with full force! My triumphant return was filled with a lot of first.I decided to break my rule on politics and spoke my mind about recent affairs and politics. I decided to review a lot more, even reviewing the entirety of Doctor Who Flux. I brought a domain for the blog and made […] - [Social Media Journalism: A festival of cringe](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/social-media-journalism-a-cringe-fest/): I’m not a journalist. I would barely call myself a writer. I’m just a guy who writes and does tons of other stuff. Which is why today I’ll be sharing my thoughts on Journalism. I think that journalism is in a strange place. Anyone can create a news site and share their opinions on the world or things. The question is, should they? Well, the answer is yes. I believe that if someone wants to share an opinion, then go for it. But the issue comes when multiple people share an opinion on one platform. News sites are often made up […] - [Always assume the person you are giving instructions to is an idiot](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/always-assume-the-person-you-are-giving-instructions-to-is-an-idiot/): If you assume something, you’ve already made a mistake. In the case of instructions, you should always assume the person you are speaking to is an idiot.  You need to be as specific as possible. It’s fine to tell someone that they have 1 week to work on something, but what you really meant was that they had 1 working week. Instead of being able to hand it in on Sunday, you actually meant Friday. Of course, the above example is a minor one and actually quite rare, but there are many more places this can be applied to. If you […] - [Gang Wars Chapter 12: The Chase](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/gang-wars-chapter-12-the-chase/): As soon as he departed from Scott’s room, Kyle could feel the strange fresh air that was around him. It wasn’t that he missed it, he just hadn’t felt it after being in a damp hacker’s room for so long. It was refreshing to his nostrils, but not his mind. As that was only focused on his goal. He put the tiny little earpiece into his ear as he started to hear Scott’s voice call through. “Can you hear me, Kyle?” “Loud and clear,” Kyle replied. But the earpiece wasn’t the only thing he stole, as twiddling around his index finger, […] - [Sound of Isolation (Short Story)](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/sound-of-isolation-short-story/): The light spark of the piano bounced around the room. The soft keys that created its beautiful etude reminded us exactly of what it was: a piece for practice. How long I’d been sitting in front of this piano is beyond me. Minutes, months, years, or even a decade. It didn’t matter. As long as my mind wasn’t focused, it was all wasted time. The same droning keys rang as my finger bounced on that high A I’d been staring out the window in front of me. The bright sunny flowers awoke the laughter of those who matched my age. 10. […] - [Satisfying the empty void through validation](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/satisfying-the-empty-void-through-validation/): Social media. What more needs to be said? Social media is the biggest place for opinions. It’s so full of opinions that I’ve already spoken about it many times before. But this time I’ll be going into a bit more detail about one particular part. Validation. Validation is the idea that you need to be recognised. It’s as simple as that. With social media, people like to have their thoughts and opinions heard and recognised. You can probably find a million opinions online, all of which are different. Typically, these opinions will come from someone small. Those with more than 1000 […] ## Pages - [Links](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/links/): Social Media Twitter (X) Bluesky Content YouTube Twitch VOD YouTube Channel TikTok Novels Amazon Webnovel Lagging Morals YouTube Twitch Twitter (x) - [Lagging Morals](https://slippyfoptv.co.uk/twitch/lagging-morals/): Alongside all my other projects, Lagging Morals is a group YouTube Channel & Podcast involving my friends.

I was young and excited to upload YouTube Devlogs on my progress, but that quickly came to a halt. The reason is my art skills. Like most of my projects, my art skills were stopping me.

In the third year, we had to write a 10,000-word dissertation and create a project alongside it. Typically, for my course, this project was a game.
