OVERVIEW
"You may not like video games, but what I learned from them is this: no enemies in front of you means you are going the wrong way."

I am MonriaTitans, the host of the Opinions and Truth | O&T blog and The Weekend Game Show | WGS on Twitch. My mission is to educate on and discuss different aspects of game development, and to show why video games can take years to make, to prevent another stressful Cyberpunk 2077 scenario. In addition, I share Artist Shout-Outs | ASO to human artists to combat AI's spit, aka. plagiarism laundering. | #CreateDontScrape | All rights reserved by the artist(s).
On WGS, the focus is on games and art. On O&T, there is no focus; knowledge is power. But on BMAC, the focus is on video games, literacy, and educational quotes. Video games are becoming a staple of the world; they deserve respect and recognition. With education comes patience and understanding; people will be less upset when and understand why a game gets delayed. And won't threaten game developers to rush a game along.
And people shouldn't pass legislation on something they don't understand.
I intend to use Buy Me A Coffee to share educational quotes and videos and to showcase the Artist Shout-Outs. And, since the theme is books, the educational videos will be book-related.
Thank you for reading. May every decision you make in the future be in the spirit of fairness, and may the rest of your day NOT go to $#!7.
"A game is a problem-solving activity, approached with a playful attitude."

"Current AI 'art' is created on the backs of hundreds of thousands of artists and photographers who made billions of images and spend time, love and dedication to have their work soullessly stolen and used by selfish people for profit without the slightest concept of ethics."
– Alexander Nanitchkov

I am affiliated with Bookshop.org, the Etsy for small business bookstores, whose mission is "to help local, independent bookstores thrive in the age of e-commerce"!
I created this bookshop to provide resources for those who want to create video games and for those who wish to understand them. In addition, I wanted this to be a hub, a rendezvous point, so it has a little bit of everything. There are books on history, psychology, and others for the purpose of obtaining different perspectives as well reading material for entertainment.
If one wishes to be a game designer, or a writer, one must read a lot, write a lot, and play different genres of video games.
