Exams' End, More Music, Fleeting Friendship
6 years ago
I've spent most of my time recently revising for the final exam of this Psychology degree - I just finished it today, though there's one more little thing to do before it's all completely done - and I've also spent a lot of time with a friend, which is unusual for me, and which will also be over soon. I've also composed some more music!

Attractiveness, and Biological Bases of Beauty
7 years ago
Do you think that what we find attractive is determined by our life experiences and personal preferences, our biology, or a combination of the two? I think about what's attractive and what's not quite a lot, especially in regards to the 3D models I've spent much of the year making or tweaking.

Gacha Games, and Altruism
7 years ago
Games which aim to drain your wallet dry by relying on essentially the roll of a die aren't really the epitome of altruistic innovations, are they? I say, because I have to know about altruistic psychology for an upcoming assessment, but I spend too much of my time procrastinating with pointless mobile games...

VR - More Impressions
7 years ago
After playing around some more with my Oculus Rift, I'm amazed at the potential VR has to explore the nature of our perceptions... but I also wish I could just give up on the real world and live in a variety of virtual ones instead.

7 years ago
We exist to have sex, biologically. Everything else is peripheral. And it's really hard to want to keep going if you feel that physical connection isn't going to be a part of your life experience. For me, anyway.

Who Heals the Monsters?
7 years ago
We should sympathise with victims of mistreatment. They've been through a lot and need love and care. But what of the pain the monsters feel? Who's there to care for them? Or should they just be slain?

Building Belonging for the Broken
7 years ago
On a whim, I made a small social website specifically for students at my university with mental health issues to connect with one another, but I really can't decide if it's a good idea to actually announce its existence or not.
