This sounds so cool. I know you'll do well at this and I'm sure your students will appreciate you. Once again, congratulations!

How do you explain obedience training then. You throw a stick but tell the dog to stay. Wait, and then tell them to get it. You call one dogs name and they respond, whereas 4 others do not. You can give dogs commands and they know what you are saying, regardless of tone. We crate trained our dogs, and they all knew which crate was theirs. We no longer do that, but they still have them as a little "house" for themselves, as dogs like that. Dogs are reliable and loving. Cats are deceitful and flat out mean.

ooh, reminds me on the first game (Max Payne 1) when he's walking on that room with blood on the walls, that was scary too, also reminds me on Henry Tomasino's death in Mafia 2, it was so brutal

Not just that - with my luck I'll plan to save at certain point, don't bother to do it and then seconds after that, I'm dead. Sometimes, I just misstep and plummet way down some mountain or some weird stuff like an enemy accidentally knocks me into a trap. In video games, when my luck is good it's amazing but when it's bad, I'll probably die 3 times within a minute because of some stupid stuff.

It's to be expected. Hell, even my reactions have gotten a bit slower than in my younger days. Come to think of it, I tend to forget some things now. 🤣🤣

Evil is a really dynamic topic (unless you know what's happening on the other side)

Alcohol is accepted by the populace because it is legal. With the exception of the prohibition era, alcohol has been the go-to intoxicant for centuries. People are only opposed to other intoxicants like marijuana, cocaine, and heroin because they are designated as illegal. What people won't accept is that marijuana actually is much less dangerous than alcohol. They won't accept that hospitals use cocaine as a numbing agent. They won't accept that heroin was successfully used by 19th century doctors the way methadone is used today. To get people off drugs like laudanum. Something people don't know is that "heroin" is actually a brand name, like Pepsi, Sony, Zippo etc. But it's used generically today. People accept alcohol because it's legal, and reject other substances because they are designated illegal. Even though alcohol is by far one of the most dangerous and destructive drugs known to man. I won't lie. I enjoy a drink from time to time. But I keep it in check. I'm predisposed to alcoholism as it runs in my family. So I am very careful about it. I don't have an issue with alcohol, but I think my past as a drug addict helps me keep it in check. I have a medical marijuana card. But I only use it as a last resort, even though I smoked it off and on recreationally since I was 16. From the years of 18-22 I have no memory because I was drugged out the entire time. I did anything and everything. If someone passed me something and I was either too high to recognize it or was unfamiliar with it, I only had 2 questions. How do I take it? How long until it kicks in? It's an internal war that no one will understand unless they've been there to stay clean/sober. I know where to get these things. Every day I want to go out and get some blow, angel dust, acid, rock, or tar. I've even gone so far as to hit an ATM and drive over to a pharmacist. But I changed my mind as I was looking at him. @Reality vs Adventure knows what that urge and fight is when he drives by liquor stores and bars. He has to fight a war so violent that it would scare the shit out of the average person. And those who have dealt with addiction are 100 times more likely to fall back into the addiction. It is harder for us to stay clean/sober than the average person. We have to find strength we didn't know we had to say No.

I wish there was full unrestricted customization of the player character from the beginning of games. In the majority of games there is no customization options at all, in others customization are unlocked by finishing the game, which feels utterly pointless to me, great I can change my character's look after I finished the game and no longer wish to play it? LOL. But the biggest issue is paywalled cosmetics. They say microtransactions that only affect the cosmetics does not matter, but they do. To me the look of the character is much more important than XP boosters and such nonsense p2w items.

Not the most original, but Mabinogi was a game I really enjoyed years ago before it really started declining. Despite having a tab-target combat system at its core, the combat wasn't simply rolling your fingers across the keyboard until something dies like some games (looking at you, basically every WoW clone). Even a basic attack interrupted whatever the enemy was doing and all these skills had different interactions or counters, which to me made it one of the few MMO's I've legitimately enjoyed PvP in.

Not really - it depends on the character really. I usually go by what they believe in or how they usually handle situations and what they're trying to achieve. Sometimes, I'll slaughter almost anything that moves in a game - even my own comrades because the character is portrayed as a nutcase or unhinged individual.

Not particularly. I play evil characters because I relate to them. I relate to everything The Antagonist (Hatred) feels and why he's going on a murderous rampage. I want to do the same every day. I can't put on that "good guy badge" because it makes me feel phony and once in a while actually makes me sick. I always have an RDR2 game ready that I just kill everyone I can find. All over the place. Anyone and everyone. Since it's more realistic than Hatred, I get an extra sense of satisfaction from the "senseless" killing.
