Reality vs Adventure

Oh wow, I might try that game.

I’m gonna have to check out Just Cause, one of the newer ones. I played a ps2 version. To me it seems more similar to Far Cry rather than GTA. But now I’m curious about Just Cause 3 or 4

I had to look that up because I know nothing about the history, but it amazes me how time again when governments get a usurpation of power, they commit genocide. I wonder how many genocides have actually happened that I don't know about. But even though a tragedy, I think it could make an interesting game and we could even learn from it.

Definitely a great thing!!!

Wow, it seems just as I have wrote that, 27 House members sign letter asking to ban stock trading https://www.yahoo.com/news/27-house-members-sign-letter-150336022.html

The Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice are looking to strengthen enforcement against illegal mergers. Microsoft and Amazon has sparked new concerns from the government and will look into this acquisition to see if any laws are broken. Right now it looks they will probably get away with it, but since the government is looking to update the antitrust laws, corporations like Microsoft have been usurping what they can before new laws are passed. Not to say this is an illegal merging with Microsoft and Activision, but it should be challenged by the FTC and we all need to understand that “Illegal mergers can inflict a host of harms, from higher prices and lower wages to diminished opportunity, reduced innovation, and less resiliency.” And I hear people say that Sony should look for an acquisition of their own, but that is part of the domino effect where now corporations will buy up what they can. So that thinking promotes monopolization. Another thing, congress needs to be banned from investing in stock while it is their responsibility to regulate antitrust laws. That's a conflict of interest when they become more concerned about their stock and invites lobbying. https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/press-releases/2022/01/ftc-and-justice-department-seek-to-strengthen-enforcement-against-illegal-mergers

It’s going to be dangerous this year when the weather changes because of the hotter temps in the south and colder in the north. When that weather finally mixes we will get tornadoes all over the country. That will also make the hurricane season dangerous.

There was also a guy jerking off to a bunch of mutilated bodies. He was standing over them going to town.

Some even say that he had a brain tumor which led to abnormal behavior and while in the hospital he suffered hallucinations. After he was buried they moved his body to a new burial site to honor him and they heard an object in his skull, which is assumed to be calcified fragments of a brain tumor.

Just broke 600 hours in AC Odyssey. I’m determined to finish the game now and do both DLC.

Turns out that Microsoft is the second largest market that the U.S. congress invests stocks in after Apple. And with that in mind, having congress invest in monopolies they are supposed to regulate is a conflict of interest. The USA has antitrust laws to prevent monopolization and back in 2001 Microsoft was ordered by the government to break up into two companies for breaking the antitrust law. Microsoft filed an appeal and instead of breaking up, they were allowed to close the case with a settlement. And ultimately, by not forcing them to break up, we are again in this monopolization attempt today by Microsoft. Microsoft and Amazon have made the most acquisition deals in 2021 more than a whole decade. So those two companies are on the anti trust watch list from the Federal Trade Commission. The FTC and tech giants are in a 'cold war' of regulation and monopolization since Lina Khan has become head of the FTC because she has been cracking down on antitrust laws. So this acquisition is a big fuck you to the FTC as well as consumers.

Sequels fail at being memorable by failing to push the story forward. That’s definitely not the case with TLOU2 where part two is the true sense of a sequel. I think most games in a series, they tend to make them stand alones with maybe a small part that continues from a previous game. The reason might be to increase sells when the game comes out so people won’t assume they have to start at an earlier game on an older console which takes away spending money on a new game. I can’t think of many true sequels.

Not video game related, but I remember growing up playing Ring Around the Rosie pretty much everywhere even at school, which the saying may have gotten its significance from the Black Plague. Ring around the rosie is the red ring on the skin that forms from plague victims. Then 'Pocket Full of Posies' is to carry good smelling flowers because they thought the plague was around bad smells. The doctor's mask had a beak which kept flowers and oils. Ashes Ashes We All Fall Down is the burning of the bodies and all that have died.

Cooping theory; but I think that's all it is, is just a theory. Supposedly he was found unconscious by a polling place on election day. They say it's because of his alcoholism. But this was also during a time when people would kidnap others, drug them, and force them to vote multiple times.

He does carry on a bit without a clear focus on the plot, but how he creates the worlds and characters with that level of depth would spark great things in the gaming environment. I think the series might be too intimidating to try and tackle as a game because there is so much material to work with.

I think Omicron has to do with it. If students are still forced to go to school without protocols, then all their health and family gets jeopardized. You can only hope the school boards are in good hands and not putting lives at risk for political points because those people are also voted in, which has been a problem during all this.

When they die, researchers need to get a sample of their DNA from the morgue in order to make an antiidiotic.

I'm pretty impressed with the remastered version on ps4. You are right, the fighting is pretty good. The scenery of the city of Hong Kong is pretty intriguing to me. It's got a reaching story and awesome soundtrack for the radio that I need to look up. People are just plain nuts not to make a series out of Sleeping Dogs.

Their parasitism is so deep into their brain, they no longer have control over their hazardous mutated viral DNA. They are now at the stage of replicating their viral load with these more advanced mutations and driven to infect as many as possible. They can no longer control their consciousness. They are simply a host now being subconsciously driven by their viral compromised proteins. They are the more advanced strain of parasitic humans, which have evolved from the anti environmentalists, pro coal and oil, anti regulations, pro racism, and everything in between. As we witness their pro 'shedding' stage, we can only steer clear of those human parasites as much as we can if we want to survive this DSUP or 'Devolved Sub-Human Pandemic.'

Maybe Covid affected release dates and a decrease in the number of hit games, but it had nothing to do with all the workplace controversies and broken games. There really is no excuse for that. If they would rather release a game that isn't really ready just to make contract, then those publishers should take blame if they think punctuality is more important than quality, especially in the covid era.

The sales of Plague Inc. were definitely boosted because of coronavirus. China even banned the game in 2020 and it was one of the most popular selling apps in China. There was a 'fake news' update to the game where part of spreading the virus in simulation was to spread misinformation, which I think is why China banned it because they don't want that idea to spread into people's minds. But I think instead of fearing that issue, people should learn from it. Why anyone would want to become an ecoterrorist during covid is not part of my human comprehension. It would be interesting to have a simulation game like that but more story based.

It's for the best. Delete all my political posts so nazis don't hunt me later

I hope your friend gets the help they need 🤞and you are a good friend for caring.

I hope they do without getting caught. Every time they talk, there should be moaning noises. Remember Fight Club when he rigged movies to show a split second of porn and the audience wasn't quite sure they actually saw it, but they know they did. All government meetings need to be hacked to do that. Make it dirty too with golden showers. You know them old fake prudes love that stuff.
