Reality vs Adventure

I don't know anymore. Every time a hit comes out people say it isn't good. What is good then? WTF are people looking for? That's the question.

No, I'm not talking about leaving. I'm talking about a pet holding me back from fighting. Right now I have no attachments.

It's in the genetic makeup, not something that is developed over time. I thought that quite interesting too. I've always had bad reactions to certain sounds growing up and it actually is my DNA. Who would have thought some gene makes you hate sounds...😆 I find it ridiculously funny but it is also not something to be messed with. Chewing is the main thing for me, and I also hate it when people clear their throats. It triggers a highly aggressive reaction with me.

Bwahahahaha!!!! I hate the sound of people eating too!!! If I talk on the phone with someone who is eating I want to strangle them. I actually have a DNA report that says I have misophonia, a genetic trait where a person gets rage at specific sounds like chewing.

I'm thinking about getting some new pets. I want to get a pair of cats, boy and girl, and a puppy. Not sure if I want to adopt adult cats or kittens. I originally wanted to adopt grown cats because I feel like I don't want to get too attached. My reasoning is because the future in my country is uncertain and I'm not sure I want to start a new family for the next 15 years or so when it's a possibility that circumstances may separate us. So I'm thinking of just waiting to see what happens after the elections of 2024. That's really the only thing stopping me right now from getting new pets.

Yes!!! It's important to be able to print pictures because my amazing beautiful best buddy cat recently passed away, but luckily I have pictures. I don't have a printer but I used Walmart photo to create a giant collage of pictures of her. That way if something happens and I lose digital photos, I will have it on frame. I bought a bunch of frames too so I can print more pictures of her. It makes me so happy every time I look at them. We can't always depend on memories or electronics. The photos they printed at Walmart are great quality too.

Hope everyone got laid

The most important thing that will happen without technology is that we will embrace our loved ones more or life itself alone. We get so stuck in our toys that we would rather entertain our own self and neglect others in real life. That happens to all of us in the modern world. It takes a loss to realize what you can lose. Wishing you spent more time with them instead of all the stupid technology. But we are all prisoners of technology.

We all eat unconventional insects all the time like shrimp and lobster, which is nothing but orange sea roaches and giant sea roaches.

Good to see you back man. You’re always cool here. Unfortunate circumstances for me too. I’ve been dealing with the same and it’s taking it’s toll on me. Write a journal to remember everything about your loved one. I mean everything.

I think it’s safe to say there are factors we all agree with pointing out addictive gaming. But how does it start? I believe it’s the person’s lifestyle or other issues in the 1st place. Parents letting the child game forever. Adults that have obsessive behaviors. I don’t think gaming actually IS the addiction. I think it’s an obsessive trait in the first place and if gaming didn’t exist, that trait would lead them to be addicted to something else.

I’ve been wanting to buy the game for a while. The sale value has held up for an old generation game on disc. It won’t fall below $20, for a game 2 generations ago. Is the game that good?

Skull and Bones….bring it! I want to see if the mechanics are any better than Assassin’s Creed Black Flag. Same developer, and I believe the pirate saga is pride to behold for Ubisoft. So this should be good. FF7 is that a remake? I thought they already had a remake.

You are 100% correct and insightful about other classic medium made into a game. It’s hard to pinpoint where they are wired differently. I think they are trying to please the masses so much that they forget about the foundations of simple fun. Just total…fuckin…simple….fun…

I downloaded this game to see what it's all about and been playing it for a week now. I think the combat system is amazing. It's like putting a game in photo mode where you can zoom around and check things out, plan your attack, press a button to forward the action to see how it pans out, stop, play, look around. It's pretty fun. I think the game is straight forward. Once you start leveling up your character, no need to worry if you mess up because there is a store at Havenwood, probably elsewhere too which I haven't come across yet. But you can buy an accessory to redo your ability points. Also, there is a quest close to the beginning where you can go to a secret shop whenever you want, run by some kind of immortal and there is a mirror where you can change your appearance if you weren't satisfied. That's important to point out because something about my character really irritated me and when I found out about that mirror I was so happy to change it. I think the rogue is probably the most enjoyable character. I started off as mage, but I had to always stay back and fight with magic, but with the rogue I can attack up close more and sneak around. I guess it doesn't really matter what you pick because you meet new character allies along the way that you can control in your character lineup who have the warrior or mage traits. This is a very user friendly game. At every camp site you can change your character lineup. You can rest to replenish all your health potions at the camp tents. Don't mess up and start deleting gear to save inventory space because other characters may need some of those weapons. I didn't know that at first so I sold most of my inventory not knowing other characters could have used it. I think most people have played the game by now, so all this is probably pointless. Oh well.

Man this question brings back some memories. When I was a kid gaming, I got excited often in a different way than I do now. Back then I used to love going to the movie rental store and look for Nintendo games to play for a couple days. I would stay up all night trying to beat the games. Me and my friends would go to the gas station right down the road to play arcade games, then get a whole bunch of candy, bubble tape bubble gum and load our mouths full of gum, and make slurpies with mixed sodas. We were sugar crazed kids. It’s a different excitement now because we have such state of the art consoles and games, including VR, and I know the next game will be so immersive, to bring a fantasy that is much needed in my life. As a kid I was excited for entertainment and action and socialize with my friends, even though I gamed a lot alone too. But now I’m excited for the sheer graphical beauty, the immersion, story, fantasy. It’s two entirely different game periods with entirely different characteristics in gaming. Entire different mentalities in gaming, different needs, different standards. The excitement is there for me, but it’s different. Back then you pop in a game and play; perfect for a sugar crazed kid. Today I love to strategize, get deep in story and play alone.

In nazi America, blue states are safe, but LGBTQ are still vulnerable in public because Nazis want to earn their stripes so they beat gays, along with minority old people and women because Nazis are pussies. They are scared to fight one on one against a man that can fight back. It’s the typical abusive cowardly mentality. Thing is, republicans have a lot of gay fantasies. The more they hate against gays, the more they fantasize about their closeted thoughts. Look at Moms for Liberty, a far right anti LGBTQ organization that is doing most of the book bans in schools. Bridget Ziegler is the co-founder for moms for liberty and is now in hot water for doing threesome sex acts with another woman and her husband Christian (ironic name) who is the republican chair in Florida, which is top leadership of the Republican Party. He was accused of rape. Think about that. These fucks bring their politics into schools, ban books, sit on school boards, then fuck with a dildo in their ass and an apple of Eden in their mouth. Total hypocrites. Then you got Jessica Watkins who is a trans who belongs to the Oath Keepers and she was sentenced to at least 8 years for her role in the capital attack in 2021. Oath Keepers leaders are now in prison for sedition conspiracy charges. Straight up treason. Jessica admitted that her peers pressured her as a trans growing up to hate herself and others that are like her. She was brainwashed obviously. The Moms for Liberty chapter in Philadelphia was actually run by a male pastor, Phillip Fisher, who plead guilty for raping a boy. What? Moms for Liberty run by a male rapist? They sit on school boards and ban books? So when these republicans cry about gays and trans all day long, make hundreds of bills to take their rights away, they are telling you that they are closeted gays. And they hate the freedom of other gays because they are literally stuck in the closet and they are jealous of your freedom. They want to take your freedom away to make themselves feel better and force you to live as they do hiding everyday.

Every month I will summarize the countdown to the destruction of America. So far this year it's between Biden and most likely Trump again. There is only one republican candidate left, Haley. And she's Indian American so she won't go anywhere because MAGA are white supremacists. Trump is now making fun of her Indian name while Stockholm Syndrome Haley pandered to white supremacists when asked about the civil war. This year starting in March Trump should be facing his trials. But he is begging for total immunity from all crimes, including being immune from assassinating people. And our corrupt Supreme Court will take that case to decide if Trump has the right to assassinate people. The Supreme Court will also decide whether or not Trump can remain on ballots after he conspired a coup attempt. After the Civil War, the 14th amendment section 3 was established to prevent any person from holding office that engaged, aided, abided, or provided comfort to a rebellion and insurrection. If that amendment is followed, Trump and many republicans cannot ever hold office. It's a constitutional amendment. If you trash one amendment, then I guess the abolishment of slavery is also trashed. It's the constitution. The supreme court has proven to be corrupt and they have zero oversight for ethics. They take bribes. They are religious fanatics, handmaid style. The court will back Trump every step of the way, to prevent him being liable from any crime. Prove me wrong mother fuckers. 10 months of freedom left. Do you know how that feels knowing the supreme court backs a 91 felony count traitor? Even though we are the majority, proven over and over in elections, only for those money grubbers and nazis to try and steal your free and fair elections from you? This is my countdown 10 months. NATO is performing drills for war with Russia. MAGA republicans support Russia. If NATO goes to war with Russia, that means we can go to war against MAGA because they are aligned with Russia. That's the only way for America to retain freedom. One fell swoop against MAGA and Russia. You will see how much Trump and MAGA support nazis this year. Trump is quoting Hitler. Trump right now just gave support to Viktor Orban dictator. We all know he aligns himself with dictators of the world. America---10 months. Do your thing patriots. If not, you won't have life or freedom anymore. Straight up. The coming election is dictatorship or freedom. Every month I will summarize the time of freedom that's left. 2024 is the most important year of the entire history of this country. We are living it. We are living with the nazi parasites who have no mind, no morality. They can only be defeated through war. They won't stop their obsessions. They will continue to the point of genocide. This is how it starts. Republicans have embraced nazis. Will America fall for it? Will humanity prove to be repetitive idiots? This is the test of humanity, with history to be judged by. That makes nazi republicans even more evil, knowing what they are consciously doing to people, to this country. 10 months

I’ll tell you, the 2000’s and up generations really fucked up the 80’s-90’s. They have zero respect for the holy grail of classicism.

Oh man, no doubt I’d hang with Ubisoft playing an Assassin’s Creed game and have them give me historical facts and myths while I play. And then give me mythological insight when I fight a mythological creature. Guide me the whole fucking way. Id feel like a spirit witnessing history. Isn’t what the whole Animus thing is for? Fuckin bad ass every way you look at it.

It’s a game I want to check out. I’m believing it’s more multiplayer oriented, so I’ll get it when I believe single player is worth it.

In Deus Ex Mankind Divided, a bystander NPC said that we are no different than AI because we are all programmed. That’s not the exact words. But we are raised in a preprogrammed environment, justifying his statement.

I agree here for a short gaming experience, although it is horror; not the technical sense, but it definitely is. Cool you brought up this game though cause only 1 week ago I finished playing it from start to finish over maybe a two week period and it blew my mind. I first started a play through a few years ago as an inexperienced gamer and what lost me was puzzles in the game. And it’s not even so hard anymore in my current play through. I do think the puzzles would throw off a gamer looking for 16 hours or less of fun. That’s hoping he’s smarter than me and will wiz through the puzzles. But I have to say, I didn’t give the game the respect it deserves at first, but it’s amazing. It is a shorter game but has a tremendous impact. Probably not a game for someone looking for straight fun. It’s a lot more serious than that. Id say Destroy All Humans remaster for straight fun.

I'm trying to show a list of games that have a free upgrade. If you have a ps5 now, check your disc games from ps4 and see if you have a free upgrade so you can play later. Here is a list: https://www.pushsquare.com/guides/ps4-to-ps5-all-games-with-confirmed-free-upgrades You can check any ps4 game you have by inserting it into a ps5 and on the right side of the screen will tell you to purchase free upgrade if its available.

I would recommend something that isn’t the new generation console because many still don’t have it. I would not recommend an open world. I’m thinking something fun, not overwhelming with controls. Nothing too challenging or repetitive sports. I’d say a game like A Plague Tale Innocence; a game for all ages. It’s simple mechanics and good story. Do not jump into big AAA games because a new gamer will not appreciate it. It takes time to appreciate games. And when it happens, you will find your own love for gaming. I think a story oriented game would be best to start with.
