Reality vs Adventure

Well guess what. Looks like republican religious fanatics are getting a taste of their own medicine. The Davis School District in Utah has banned the bible in elementary and middle schools due to vulgar content, porn and violence that is not appropriate for kids under their new book ban laws. I'm very surprised that Utah of all places would even be honest and fair about this since the state is a huge Mormon christian state. This makes perfect sense though that if you want to go around banning books then the Bible should also be banned based on the same principle of age inappropriate content. This just unraveled the entire christian plan of forcing religion into public schools. Oops! Looks like that backfired. So now in all fairness, is the bible going to be banned in every state that bans books? Well, it should be challenged in all those states. So when republicans that have banned books decide not to include the Bible ban in their state, then that shows none of this really had anything to do with kids at all, but really was just a religious issue. But again, I'm very surprised Utah of all places banned the bible. https://www.sltrib.com/news/education/2023/06/01/bible-is-banned-these-utah/ In the USA, before the book bans, bibles were allowed in all public school libraries. But it is unconstitutional to force anyone to read the bible or to preach the bible. You can't even force anyone in prayer or pray in the classroom. But Texas made a new law saying teachers and students can pray right there in the classroom in front of other students. Texas even forced all schools in the state to hang a giant sized poser of the Bible's 10 Commandments in all classrooms. Also, any religious donations with 'In God We Trust' slogan is required to be publicly displayed in the school. Which means religious groups can donate a million posters or flags saying that religious phrase and it would have to be publicly displayed for all to see. Crazy goons. Who is indoctrinating who again???

I'm looking for Assassins Creed fans to talk about everything in the whole series. Any fan out there? You want to bond with the series? I haven't found anyone to bond with in this amazing series. Where are you AC fans? Where are you?

Just imagine everything you know and love about a game that could be developed in an alternate universe. The genre changing, and that could have such a huge impact. For examples: Think about Bloodborne in an open world where you can climb the buildings. Imagine assassins creed as a fantasy where it’s basically assassins creed mixed with Skyrim where AC Valhalla now has Ragnar skeletons and dragons roaming the world. Cmon. What’s not to love. What is your game you want an overhaul to a different genre? A shooter now a hack and slash; say what? I’m fucked up

Don't know what to say. I hope she got to say goodbye to her mother in person.

Excellent how you said that in one sentence. I haven't finished the series yet. I'm in season 4 and this really is my favorite tv series of all time. My mind is blown man. It's gone off the cliffs into the wind. It's all too brilliant.

Depends on the genre because open worlds that are not fantasy would be hard to make a variety of enemies. You could have different factions, but the only thing to really tell them apart is their uniform or weapons. I think what the real issue is that there aren't enough Fantasy open world games. If there were, then no doubt developers would have the initiative to compete and create a wider variety of enemies. Skyrim seems to be a stand alone of its generation with little to compete with. Witcher 3 and Final Fantasy 15 has a decent variety.

That’s just terrible. Did she make it to see her mom yet? My heart goes out to your family. They caught him alive about 15 miles on the opposite direction where I was. Idiot went to a house of someone he knew. Just one week after this one in Texas, there was another mass shooting at a mall in Texas. Fucking Texas schools now have Winnie the Pooh books to train kids in school shootings. They have the bear stick his head in honey and be still. What the serious fuck?

It's supposed to be a remake including both 1 and 2 and somehow tie in the games together along with all DLC. I can't wait to get this one.

Layers of Fears is coming out too. That and FF 16 is what I'm excited about. Plus Destroy All Humans 2 Reprobed will be released. I'm a fan of that series. I'm waiting for a bundle to be released with both games and all DLC.

Here I am again really struggling on what game I want to play. I’ve been uploading games and deleting games on a regular basis. Trying to find what really pulls me in. Then there is the perfection anxiety where I know some games are so intense or beautiful that I may feel intimidated by it. I want to savior it. I want the moment to be perfect before I start playing and that moment is never. It’s like life, I should jump in there and live it. But I can’t because I make excuses. Eeny meeny miny moe. I’m not sure what I’m looking for. I have bad ass games installed. But what is it? I went full out on Nintendo a couple days ago. And the simplicity is fun. It’s not simple though, just not overwhelming either. I just don’t want so complex, don’t want so easy, don’t want too much brain, or too little brain. I don’t want so much overwhelming beauty because Illl get stuck in photo mode. I just want to play. Something ugly. And the darkness has arisen around me bwaaahahaha. Horror it is. Yes, a good horror. But there are none. Nothing scary out there. Nothing at all. What’s my idea of scary? Well, I don’t want scary anymore. I want fantasy with dragons and magic. All the fantasy, yes that’s what I want. Ok, putting in the disc. Oh shit, I don’t want fantasy anymore. I want to drive and run people over. Jam to music in my car in GTA or Saints Row; I want to talk to an elf and make love to a cyber woman. I want to be someone. I don’t want to be anyone. Eeny meeny miny fucking moe.

That's the first time I heard that phrase, but I looked it up and it means: Wiktionary def: (Internet slang, sarcastic) A notional political party supported by people who ignore or downplay its cruel, unjust, or extreme policies and rhetoric, and are then shocked or displeased when these policies and rhetoric have adverse consequences to themselves. "'I never thought leopards would eat MY face,' sobs woman who voted for the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party." @NightmareFarm nailed this one!

Oh that's a good one! Gotta get to the 'root' of the cause... 😅

There is 100% possibility a potato can grow through the ceiling. The roots can grow straight through and wiggle on down. You ever seen how fast a mushroom can grow? Course not. Everything in the dark grows really fast. The potato roots just might be able to wiggle on down to a person sleeping and even wiggle up their nose. And when they wake, beware. They will be infected walking around with a potato hanging from their nose. Or maybe you will only see the roots slither out the nostrils every now and then, as the potato remains incognito.

Oh man, welcome to Ubisoft hell. They have the absolute worst servers for games that I know of. In fact, I blame my AC Valhalla game crash on Ubisoft Connect where every single game save data was corrupted. I went to Connect to get a free gift or something, can’t remember, and it froze everything leading to corrupt save files. This is a scary insight since Ubisoft is going all out Infinity for all future AC games, meaning their servers at its current state will bring hell to Earth. I don’t know exactly how they will utilize their online server, or if Connect will be used for Infinity. Connect is super slow and just plain fucked. With that said, I just started a new + game with Odyssey playing as the male version because I love the game so much. I’ve recently finished playing as Kassandra with all DLC. And this is awesome you are playing Odyssey. Look, Ubisoft isn’t known for a hair pulling story. But there is so much in the game to love. Stick with it. And play the DLC. Understand the animus storyline. Oh! Don’t forget about the Discovery Tour as you play along. You will love it even more.

I keep coming across all sorts of articles about a new hype of AI taking over. And this hype is coming from prominent tech leaders as well as politicians. There is even new efforts to beef up our national security to increase our own AI for security as well as combat the threats of China's AI advancements. What the hell is going on here? Can someone explain please? Do we really have a worldwide threat of AI taking over in the near future? This isn't comic book stuff. This is the real talk of the town now from world leaders and tech giants. What's the catch? Are they trying to sell something? Sell fear maybe? Promote new tech initiatives? Are we entering a new wave of a violation of privacy rights? Are tech giants just looking for government funds? What is the hype?

Kansas republican politician Mike Brown tried to ban minority groups such as women, youth, blacks and Hispanics from their party. They tried to strip all power from those elected officials in Kansas through legislation, those groups being Kansas Federation of Republican Women, Kansas Young Republicans, Kansas Black Republican Council and the National Republican Hispanic Assembly. A republican politician is trying to evict them all from the state's Executive Committee and take all their legislative powers away. Come on man, what the fuck? This is the future of the republican party. Look how they are banning DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusivity) everywhere they can in schools and businesses. Now they want to ban DEI in their own party ranks!!!!!!!!!!!! Holy shit! If you aren't shocked by this, then you need to be tasered a few times to wake your ass up!!!. Shake your brain cells a bit!!! Seriously, republicans feel so threatened by women, young adults, blacks and Hispanics that they want to ban their duties as elected officials within their own republican party!!!! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! https://www.kansascity.com/news/politics-government/article275308266.html

The potato would only come out at night because it would sprout in the light! Would be quite ugly for a potato to have sprouts coming out everywhere. It could be the toxins from the sprouts turning the potato into a serial killer.

I really liked that video of the teacher. She’s being investigated for showing the animated Disney movie Strange World. She even had signed confirmation from parents to show Disney movies to students and even allowed personal exceptions of a movie parents didn’t want their kids to watch. So the teacher had the ok from all parents. Now she’s investigated. Not only that but investigators dragging kids to interrogate them w/o parent’s approval. What kind of sexual interrogation are they asking kids? At first kids probably could care less about any political drama. Now they have been exposed to the republican perversion they are inflicting on America. That trauma is way more than watching a freakin Disney Animation. What happened to parental rights? You are now interrogating kids? Not even cops can do that. The GOP is Genital Obsession Party. The Gay Obsession Party.

I'm playing Modern Warfare Remastered and this shit looks and feels so real. I literally wanted to jump inside the game and start tearing shit up. Are all the COD games this graphically real? The only latest ones I've played is this and Vanguard, another spectacular game. Is the new Modern Warfare a remake or something completely new?

The FTC hasn't given the green light yet. On Dec 8, 2022 they announced a complaint about the acquisition. Not sure if a 'complaint' is the same as an investigation. But this link shows the entire timeline of the matter from Dec 8 to now. They say "an evidentiary hearing is scheduled for Aug. 2, 2023 at 10 a.m. ET before an Administrative Law Judge at the FTC’s headquarters." https://www.ftc.gov/legal-library/browse/cases-proceedings/2210077-microsoftactivision-blizzard-matter

This is getting dicey. The EU is willing to babysit Microsoft with regulations, but for how long? And what happens when the higher ups change political ideology in the EU? Will they then decrease their regulatory control? Allowing Microsoft to slither their way in a bit more to control Cloud Gaming or something else? I understand the importance of regulations, but this is an unnecessary acquisition that really has no other purpose except to monopolize. Blocking that attempt is far more important than regulating that attempt because who is to say there won't be other issues that come up in the future? Then what? The CMA or EU will have to take Microsoft to court again. Then more negotiations and regulations? What message does that send to industries who seek a monopoly? That you can always negotiate? What precedence does that set. It gives Sony the right to buy up the next biggest game developer. And it gives Microsoft to go ahead and buy up the next biggest game developer. Then Nintendo gets in on it. They can always just 'negotiate' while they wait for politics to change and grant them less regulations. Slippery slope. I guess for now, it all depends on the CMA in the UK since they have already blocked it. So we will see how Microsoft's appeal goes. They still have to get past the FTC in America too.

Woah. On the day before Mother's Day too. Hope the person didn't do it in front of their family.

I'm not gonna try and sympathize with the fascist cult. They have made their conscious decision to ignore Fox news admittedly lying to them. They are now a threat to our right to life and our right to free and fair elections. I'm not gonna treat them as people that need to come to their senses. They need to be treated as terrorists. Look at the mass shooting in Allen Tx, the second mass shooting in one week in Texas (first one was in my neighborhood in Cleveland Tx). This one in Allen, Tx just a few days ago, the guy was a neo nazi and republicans are at it again, making dangerous conspiracies about it. Even Musk on Twitter is throwing out conspiracies going against investigators and going against facts. And his conspiracies, using the microphone of Twitter, goes right along with Tucker Carlson white supremacist saying he will bring his nazi show to Twitter. Musk is buttering Twitter up for Tucker's new job. I was right all along about Musk and his purpose buying twitter. It's cause he supports the fucking far right fascists who dreams of censoring democrats and have a dictatorship. I've mentioned this in another post where convicted felon Dinesh D'Souza, pardoned by Trump, wanted Musk to buy Twitter to censor democrats. And that is what Musk has been trying to do by attacking news like NPR and PBS who no longer use Twitter now. BTW, D'Souza was the guy who made the film 2000 mules election lies as a favor for Trump pardoning him. These people are 100% neo nazis. No doubt about it. They are fully consciously aware of what they support. They are aware of their lies and conspiracies. They choose to try and overthrow our democracy. They fucking consciously choose to do so. I have no sympathy for them. They may be in a cult, but it is not at all about them thinking what they are doing is right. They know they are in the wrong. They know they are bad. That is what makes them evil. They are fully aware of the white supremacy they support. They are fully aware of their desire for a dictatorship. They are consciously aware psychotics who try to keep a straight face in public, knowing in their mind they want to genocide Americans. Every mass shooting they simply don't even give a fuck about it. They incite the violence, then they deny the shooter has any nazi or white supremacist ties. Even Jack Teixeira, the traitor who stole Pentagon documents is a hero to republican Majorie Taylor Greene, who is on the Homeland Security committee. She even called for a secession on President's Day. She even supports QANON. They are in a cult, but they know exactly how they are morally wrong for what they are doing. They know it! We know it. Republicans have 100% rejected democracy and our rights. In two years since Trump lost the election, republicans have passed hundreds of bills to suppress voters, and now teachers can go to jail, they tried to jail librarians, they want to execute women for having an abortion. I even read in the news today that republicans don't even want to allow exceptions for rape victims as they voted against those exceptions in Louisiana. Their cult is a fascist obsession that will never go away. Imagine two years from now, they gonna jail reporters or make protesting illegal? It's not gonna stop. They are going to drag us all into a war. It's gonna happen. You can't have two complete opposites moving in complete opposing directions. We have a corrupt supreme court who hates our elections. We have the moore v harper case coming up for the supreme court and no doubt they will end our free and fair elections by getting rid of all election oversight from courts and the constitution. Which means republicans will have free will to appoint whoever they want even if they didn't win a vote. Meanwhile, we are scraping by with all the investigations against the corrupt republicans, with multiple investigations against Trump while republicans are abusing power to try and obstruct everything like they have constantly done with both his impeachments, and the Russian collusion investigation. The USA is seriously living with the New Nazi Party formerly known as the GOP or Republican Party. It's here. What I'm trying to say, is they may be a cult, but they are consciously aware psychotics. Hiding behind the mask of christianity, using God's name to commit evil acts. They're going to fucking hell.

It's only been a month in a half ago Trump was indicted by a grand jury in Manhattan for using his campaign money to pay hush money to a prostitute, and now he was just found guilty of sexual assault by a jury in a civil case. He is ordered to pay $5 million to E. Jean Carroll for sexually assaulting her and defaming her. Of course Trump denies it all and he refused to go to court and defend himself under oath. Which I'm sure that if any man is not guilty, he would defend himself. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-e-jean-carroll-trial-verdict-liable-defamation-sexual-abuse-5-million/ But this isn't the first time Trump refuses to speak in the court room. Trump was being investigated in another incident relating to the Trump Organization and tax fraud. Trump plead the 5th 450 times in the court room: Trump even said himself 'You see the mob takes the Fifth. If you’re innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?' Turns out, the Trump Organization just recently has been found guilty of tax fraud. It really makes you wonder how morally broken people have to be to continue to support Trump. It really is a mental disorder. Or perhaps, they are consciously aware of everything and don't care one bit because they are a bunch of new nazis. I'm not gonna shy away from calling them what they are. This is a pretty sad state for this country though, especially for the republican party who keep defending this guy who is running for president after being impeached twice and planned a coup attempt.

This is very strange; I don't even know what to say. There should be laws against abusing their right to sue. What is even more interesting are the judges who hear these cases. If it is a garbage case, then why are they hearing it instead of dismissing the lawsuit. A judge needs to slap a fine on Monster Energy for litigation abuse, if that is the correct term. Makes you wonder why they are going after gaming companies. Are they being vindictive for not getting a contract with gaming companies? Are they targeting potential competitors in the gaming industry so as to gain more favor from another gaming company? Why would they be angering an industry that advertises their product? Or is that just how low their brand has become?
