What's Going On in Xinjiang? Genocide or not? (The Archive: Article) ***The events in Xinjiang are mostly just propaganda devoid of any real evidence or facts.*** https://read.cash/@Librarian It is my opinion that what we are being told about what is happening in Xinjiang is mostly propaganda aimed at shifting public opinion against China, thus harming their trade advantages and also aimed at dividing China. Multiple accusations have been levied at China in the past few…

Bought New Dragon Princes of Caledor - Ulthuan.net (Intelli Gaming: Article) https://read.cash/@Librarian Recently, I have signed up and started posting on Ulthuan.net.

The "old models". But they are…

Seeking Truth (The Archive: Article) **When you dream, can you tell you are dreaming?** How do you tell what is true and what is not? Do you honestly listen to the opposite view and suspend your disbelief in order to see things differently? How do you tell if the opposite view you've found is a good one? Debate and differing viewpoints are to be cherished, not banned, if we are truly seeking the truth. The reality of things is always in shades of grey, always depending on…

Marooned on Mars: Commander Keen (Intelli Gaming: Game Series Review) https://read.cash/@Librarian Marooned on Mars is how it began. However, in the end, the *Vorticons* were just puppets being turned against humanity against their will. That sums up the story arc from Episode 1 to 6 which nearly saw the destruction of the Earth, and then the destruction of the Milky Way itself. But here, I want to review this game series and tell you more about the story and what it looked…

Techbots vs Duke Nukem (Intelli Gaming: Game Series Review) https://read.cash/@Librarian When humanity faced an evil like no other in *Dr. Proton*, it was Duke Nukem, an envoy of the CIA, who was sent to defeat him. In this short review, I look at the themes of Duke Nukem 1 and some of its followings. Duke Nukem 1 was developed and published by 3D Realms/Apogee Entertainment in 1991. But first, a quick Pros/Cons for the first Episode shareware only: PROS Controls (has a…

Frankenstein Modern Prometheus (The Library: Book Review) The myth of the beast, of the creator's creature turning against him is exemplified in this brilliant novel by Mary Shelley. In this short review, I want to look at the main themes behind *Frankenstein* and the parallels we can draw to today's world. First the pros and cons: Pros: Written in the 19th century: Landmark of Gothic, Romantic movements Serves as a classic pillar of horror and science-fiction The creature…

Dracula Moonlight Sonata (The Library: Book Review) How fitting for the **Strawberry Moon** to take a new look at *Dracula*. Was it a good business deal for *Jonathan Harker* in the end? Shedding aside the warnings about vampires, he kept his word and visited the *Count Dracula*. Pros Provides a glimpse into 19th century life in England Classic of Horror and of English literature Adapted in over 30 films Cons A bit long sometimes Written and published in **1897 by Brahm…

A Black Cat and a Yellow Room (The Library: Books review) I knew I would get your attention with a black cat image. Poe also knew it. Because black cats have often been associated with the occult and bad luck. It is said that cats have nine lives and black cat lives matter. All of them. You can't just kill at cat thinking it's okay because it will come back. The cats being discussed here and their multiple lives have been instrumental in solving murders. First, let's take a…

Posted this on Read.Cash. It's about black cats and murders and the mysteries that surround literary works around detective fiction. Short stories by Edgar Allan Poe with the GoldBug talking about ciphers and cryptography... interesting stuff! https://read.cash/@Librarian/a-black-cat-and-a-yellow-room-d1be519e #Readcash

Metamorphoses (The Library: Book Review) It is perhaps trauma dating back from the crib that led Kafka to write such a novella about the helplessness of our own fight against *change*. Change is inevitable yet we grow like old trees, with our flaws and seasons changing how we branch out in this world. Yet staying dynamic and adapting to change is also a human quality. Finding out who we are growing into and our fate are questions explored here, in this **1915 publication:**…

Siddhartha (ft. Cardi B.) (The Library: Book Review) The ultimate paradise. Spiritual and all fulfilling enlightenment. Where all desires, needs and wants are eliminated, subjugated to the perfect harmony and balance of self with nature.

Pros Interesting journey that mirrors the life of Buddha Provides a better understanding of the…

Reminiscences of a Stock Operator (The Library: Book Review) Pragmatism, discipline and keeping a cool head are often cited as hallmarks of successful stock traders. It's also true for crypto. This particular book, **published in 1923** by Edwin Lefèvre examines multiple events in the life of a character inspired by Jesse Livermore. There was some entertainment and some people praised the book as being full of inspirational quotes. But I still don't recommend it! Pros Gives…

The Trial of Mr. K by Mr. K (The Library: Book Review) It is often said that through trial and error, we eventually stand up to the challenges that we set for ourselves. This is often how we advance and how markets behave; two steps forwards, one step backwards. Or the other way around. However, when it comes to justice, the presumption of innocence and the right to a fair trial are fundamental. In *The Trial*, Franz Kafka tells us the story of a man which attempts to…
