Video games, they've been popular for decades, but became more popular during the lockdown in 2020. With popular games such as Minecraft, GTA and Fortnite, video games seem to get a bad reputation due to them being addictive, and people playing for hours, or maybe because of the negative impact it can have on your mental health. But I feel like they have more of a negative stereotype amongst the older generation and also parents. But what if I told you that certain video games can have a direct and positive impact on people in all ages. However, I don't want to take away whilst I am going to talk about how video games can have a positive impact on people, they can still effect people negatively, so make sure to play games in moderation. One of the first things I want to talk about on how video games can be good for you, is how they can help with the following: mood regulation, social connections and identity building. I am going to break down the three and explain how video gam...

After a successful tour in January and April 2025 following the release of their first album Rave Immortal, released January 24th 2025, sister lead band Alt Blk Era had their headlining UK tour for the release of their Our World EP on may 22nd 2026. SIsters Nyrobi and Chaya blend rock with Alt Pop, DnB, Rap and Electronic beats, creating a sound that is different from others, with an amazing sound when it comes to creating music and it showcases it really well in their live shows.

 The job hunt. Whilst millions of people in the world are lucky to have a job right now, there are millions of people right now that are out of a job, and millions of people who are in a job, but see no future in their current role. So, why is it so hard to find a job right now in this day and age? It seemed like just ten years ago in 2016, finding a job after school whilst in college or even after university, the job hunt didn't seem so draining or difficult, and it did seem much easier to find a job back then. But now, you're lucky to even find a job that doesn't require multiple years of experience, a masters or bachelors degree, or even one that won't consider getting back to you. So today, I want to write and share why finding a job is much harder and rare now than what it was years ago. One of the first reasons for finding a job at this time are two things that can go hand in hand due to a lot of jobs having the overlaps of both of them. And that is the fact that ...

With the rise of AI over the past five or so years, it has become prominent to everyday life. With sites such as ChatGPT, Character AI, CICI, Google AI and many more AI based data bases, AI has flooded peoples devices and lives, rendering people dependent on the services. Along with this, it has raised a lot of concerns with the fact people are lacking the ability to write or draw themselves, once again being very dependent on AI, alongside the fact that AI is also actively hurting the environment in the process. Finally, another few reasons why AI has been under fire is for the fact that it is actively being prompted by users to spit out the final 'project' of what it was prompted to do, stealing actual artists and writers' work to create these pieces. So, today, I am going to talk about why the use of AI is not only awful, but how it impacts people's creativity, the search for jobs, harming the environment, and how it actively steals from those who create art in the s...

Hello, and welcome to my second blog post. Sorry it's taken me so long to get another blog post up, but I'm posting now. Each blog post that I upload, I want to have a different theme. Whilst I may post some blogs where I will touch up on past topics, I do still want to at least have each blog post have a different topic that I talk about.
