QUOTE: A Plague of Locusts

 "The one reason immigration will not work for anyone is that a country's resources are finite. No matter how you distribute those resources there will eventually be nothing for anyone. Not even those the resources were redistributed to.

RedRaptor | PS5 Review

If ever there was a middle ground for bullet hell shmups "RedRaptor" would fall smack dab in the middle of it. Somewhere between the more modern Raiden series, and the classic top-down NES shoot 'em ups of old like Xevious lies Novax Games', "RedRaptor". A shmup with a not so obvious backstory. As the pilot of 'Raptor 1' you take missions from Earth's defense command as per usual. 

With the available armaments of 'Raptor 1' you are lone wolfing it through the galaxy taking out enemy ships for somewhat unclear reasons, initially. Ultimately completing mission objectives while waiting a response from command regarding your request for backup. Armed with the usual bullet based weapons, wingmen satellites, and a concentrated energy beam you make your way from bottom to top navigating through obstacles, hazardous threats, and waves of static spaceships that are hellbent on ending you with a barrage of bullet hell.

QUOTE: About Picking Sides

"It's alright not to pick sides in a war when both sides are committing acts of evil. For to pick a side as if it were righteous when it clearly is not would be hypocrisy. In fact you'd be siding with evil in making a choice."

- Brad C. (OtakuDante)

What Truly Matters . . .

In life our pursuits as individuals and collectives vary. Some want fame and fortune. Others want happiness and worthwhile relationships. There are also those of us that want to find meaning and purpose in our existence. We all chase, sometimes blindly, after that which we desire. For me this life's journey, four decades in the making, has been somewhat of an eye opener in this regard. I began very immature, and oblivious to the goings on of the world around me. Conditioned to accept passed down teachings as the Gospel truth, down to the expected cycle of life. I lived selfishly, and hid myself from society. Only getting out into the world when it best suited my interests. Never seeking a marriage partner, or a life fit for those who have bought into the perpetual debt slavery system.
