Reality vs Adventure

Hell yeah man

Assassins Creed 1,2,3- I wouldn't start playing AC1, just wait till they remake it. AC2 has a three part trilogy and AC3 actually is the 4th part that ends it. It's a matter of if you want to play in Venice and Florence (AC2) or in Rome (Brotherhood-sequel to AC2) or in Constantinople (Revelations- sequel to Brotherhood). AC3 is a really good one taking place in the revolutionary war. You could play AC3 w/o playing the others first. I enjoyed the combat and the story. Mortal Kombat 11- I just started playing and I'm enjoying it. There is a storyline that so far looks bad ass. Then you get to bust out in a fight and test your skills. I've forgotten a lot of the lore and characters over the years, but definitely something I wouldn't mind looking back on previous games and learn more. RDR2 ???- Whua??? Cmon, you love that game!!! 😆 God of War 2018- I thought the game was pretty good and the fighting and lore was good too. It definitely lives up to its name. There is new gear customization which the previous games didn't have. There are different realms to visit offering different sites. FFX- Excellent game!!! The story is great, the turn based fighting is excellent!!! I really enjoyed the challenges using everything you had and what your allies have to strategize and defeat enemies. It's pretty awesome. It was my very first turn based game and it is something I'll never forget, unless I get dementia. 🤣 Bloodborne- It's difficult, but the dark Victorian lore is amazing. It gets addicting because it brings out the determination to progress. And you get so far only to die and have to go through that area all over again. That's what sucks, and you lose all your coin every time you die. So the strategy is to go fight, earn some coin, then go and spend it before you die. But then you still have to do it all over again because you have to leave the area to spend your coin. I haven't beat it. It's on my list of, I'll finish one day games.

The bible has been returned to the school shelves in Utah after the original decision was appealed. So that really does mean that 'laws are for you and not for me' which conservatives has 100% proven their hypocrisy. It's perfectly ok for a book to have incest, porn, and explicit content. Tell me again why they are banning books? Because it's not due to porn after all.

Both those games look awesome! I am super impressed by Starfield. Looks like that one has a massive world to explore. Bet it gets many awards. For me, it is a must play but unfortunately it is an Xbox exclusive and PC and I don't have an Xbox.

I'm downloading Mortal Kombat 11 right now. I'm able to fight matches before it finishes downloading and so far looks pretty good. You only got 2 losses? You are whooping it!

That gave me a good laugh. Actually looks like a fun game. Who would have ever thought to give a squirrel a gun? Especially that uzi...lol

Is there really a standard for a genre these days? I actually think we are heading towards a blend of genres. Only a decade from now can they define the new genres. Today, I’d say pointless shooters are a no to me. Sports too have no substance or does it? Sports with a story should be the future of sports genre. Human intervention and emotion will always change genre. We always want something more. Classic gamers stand strong with classics and I always go back to it because it holds up forever. But games and genres will evolve. And when that happens, the classic gamers always make a come back too. It’s like we drift so far as we possibly can, only to wonder back home to the classics. Let the genres evolve. Combine what you love in games no matter if you want GTA mixed with RDR in one game. It will probably be something badass. If you look it up, GTA and RDR actually do fall under similar genres. But how can that be? It’s worlds apart. Throw in 1 elf and you have fantasy. Shit, imagine driving through los santos and see a dragon hovering over the streets. Now that is what I want. Fuck the genres.

20 years is a long time and I can understand how you can lose individuality during that time. I’m not anyone to give advice, but I am supportive and that’s what we all need and what we are all here for is all those fun good things in our heart like gaming. Don’t let your ex take that away from you.

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.
