Reality vs Adventure

Fun or wisdom young or old lasting memories or fantasies When all the fun is done then what? When all the books are read, then what?

Artists need a lot of balance. I used to be one and it gets crazy. At one point I couldn't walk anywhere because drawings and supplies were all over the floor. I prefer simplicity. Art requires a filling of the well. 'Fill the well' phrase from The Artist's Way. I live in the middle of nature and I'm surprised I haven't picked up art again. I fantasize about it, being that guy with an easel drinking wine. But...Damn I need to try it one last time. But I'm scared of the insanity that ensues. It becomes an obsession. I don't want anymore attachments. I probably don't even have the mind for the level of detail anymore. I have to try one last time...I can't; you can't. you can't. I have to man...why you stopping me? I'm not stopping you, I'm trying to help...Like last time? That was a different time...What makes this any different? Because you have grown. Just try one little drawing...But I shake now. You always did...I don't have supplies. You never did... Yes I did. No, you carved life with your own hands...That doesn't make sense. Art never did...I can't. You already are...But...But what?Shit...

Moral values according to who? Morality is easily up for auction in public opinion. The bigot hits the table-going once...dude picks a nose...sold to the gold digger!!!

Mobile what? Phone or RV? Give me a backpack like a Gi Joe with everything I need for any environment. I would leave this life in a heartbeat if I had a place to declare no man's land. It will be a new country and a full one man military.

Good question to see who is a nymph. 🤣

Both. We need both. At least I do. Let the light in because it represents life. Light has an impact on our moods. You can even see it in the behavior of animals. We all need light despite whatever mood. And respecting light depends on where you are. When I wake up and see the light blasting outside I get tired and hostile. If I'm on vacation, I wake up as soon as the rays are out and enjoy it till the rays recede. I love cloudy weather. My energy levels are higher then. So being in a room, it all depends. I prefer big windows and light. But years of hangovers, you bet I prefer the dark. Hmmm...Light of life or dark inner philosophy. Hmmm...I need both. I need balance as does everyone despite what they say.

I never felt as much as you do in the Bioshock series. I thought it was fast paced shooter with a moral dilemma. And I can compare that to Wolfenstein in the killing of Nazis. But the story just wasn't impactful like The Last Of Us was. You are right, the story in TLOU was simple. And maybe you are right; that simplicity can make a show or movie seem lame. Maybe it can't compare to the game where you immerse in physically and control a character wondering a world gone to shit. We can watch it on tv, but will it ever be the same??? Yes. Because any story can be special if everything is done correctly. I think what makes a good story out of simplicity is a phrase called 'the catch'. That catch can be anything. And it depends on everything such as character development. A good story makes us attached to something that we either strive for something or there is something we don't want to lose. Development is more critical than conflict.

Bloober team is the most creative I have ever seen. There is brilliance out there, but one has creative brilliance artistically; and that is Bloober Team. In both their series they have used art to expose psychological problems. Art doesn't get any better than the Layers of Fear series. And when you ask about creative minds, they are the foundation of creativity. They are the pedestal. Anyone that wants to see art at play in its finest represented in video games, then heed my words. I've never experienced anything so great in the art world. That series is the finest that any developer can come up with. I have faith there will be others. Just not much faith there is other artistically brilliant minds in the gaming world.

They should focus more on proper functioning of what they do provide rather than innovation. Most innovation I don't even use. I don't use dvd, or music, or image, or internet, or whatever friend share cookoo dance party they sell. I just want to play a functioning game. So don't try to hype up some squat I won't use. Does the ps5 have compatibility for previous versions? I don't know because it has not been a definite yes that I ever heard. Other than that, exactly what else is there? I haven't had a good experience with my console in regards to functioning quality. So stop your coffee induced brainstorming you maggots at the round table; and produce good quality machines. That is what you are paid for. Don't side track with amenities. I don't care about you flunking baffoons trying to hold onto to importance. Your workplace you can fuck all you want. Don't dress up the equipment for a party with ribbons. We want something that actually works for longevity.

I played the drums; ADHD gets tuned with drums. Everybody knows it Everybody is a slave to music. Especially drums. Nobody knows what attention levelThey got compared to others. Problem is people are too damn proud to admit any flaw. And if drums don't work singing bowls will. What am I talking about? Who the hell knows except for the rhythms of Earth. So get your fix and learn to play. We are all babies banging the bellies of our mothers. The war starts at birth.

The only big games that came out or coming out this year are Far Cry 6 RE 8 Hitman 3 COD Vanguard Battlefield 2042

I notice the characters in GTA 5 get bullet holes too and I'm like wtf, they don't even feel it. A bullet hole in the back with blood coming from it, they should be on their knees if not face down. It does give a little disconnect, but not completely break my immersion.

You should be able to compare past and present pics side by side and see a huge improvement in graphics. All the DLC should be included or else they are schmucks. Definition of schmuck: those who did not include DLC in remasters. Performance should be up to par; no bugs; every extra you can think of. And send a coupon for the next game in the series. Add art work and themes. And send a thank you letter for the support over the years.

I bet the fans are excited that it was just announced that a remaster of GTA 3, Vice City, and San Andreas will be released on Dec 7 2021. I think 2022 for the ps5. The prices are likely to start out pretty high. But for those that played the series back in the day, this is probably going to be pretty nostalgic. Hope they did some good improvements. I'm definitely considering getting it when the price goes down. There is talk it may start at $70. So we will see how long the price holds up.

I've gone through that and keep on deleting a game, only to have to delete another. Soon I'll only be down to 10 games and no more space. I'm not deleting any more games just because of updates. Updates can kiss a hairy dogs ass

Those all seem like minor issues. I don't have ac in my vehicle and I live in hell's inferno. Those rats keep chewing it up. Have them look at it real good when you take it in. The investment in that vehicle is worth it.

Only for the mentally sick

Interesting take on free will vs having choices. I don't think you really have free will if choices are limited. With that said, no game has full free will in the story; the only way you have full free will is if there was no story and just an open world to do as you will.

I found the article difficult to read, but to sum things up I think it means that a player is led to believe they have free will, but instead the story forces you down a certain path. And they say that leads to emersion which is the opposite of immersion. I haven’t really thought about it, but it’s common and very strange when they do that. I’m not sure if it really breaks immersion for me, but it does give a sense of wasted effort and confusion that can lead to detachment. Even more so if it happens early on in the game. But at least if it happens early, you know not to waste effort unless you wanted to and that can bring you back into the game instead of the slap in the face towards the end.

Why are the far right against vaccines? is it all due to rampant conspiracies within their circle of hate? Or is it a side act to just go against everything the left does? Does the far right only want chaos so that the virus gets out of control and death on a massive scale? Are they vaccinated themselves while promoting not to get vaccinated like far right media is doing? Are they trying to create turmoil and then when their leaders get power they become obedient and give in to vaccinations so that their leader can claim they are the savior? Will that push the left into anti-vaccinations? Is this all the far right has to complain about? In a pandemic, we see extreme politics at play virtually making protecting health of yourself and others a political act. In Italy the left is calling for the ban of fascist groups for the recent anti vaccine riot. And a place like Italy should have the right to since Italy’s role in WW2. Should every country have that ban? Canada has banned proud boys declaring them terrorists. Yet, the USA has a political party that is pandering and has quickly cantered to them. So basically, the world is in a pandemic, while the far right has the intention to exacerbate it. Is this terrorism? If you are rioting for the reason to stop health measures during a pandemic, is that also terrorism? They are literally putting the lives of the entire world at risk. They are the reason why there could be new variants develop of the virus. Then what? Go through the whole vaccine thing again when they have to change the formula? And have these same fascist groups try to block it? Then we go through this continuous cycle of a politicized pandemic?

Overwhelming? More like awe struck. But that is the reason I'm playing TLOU 2 a second time. The first time I was amazed by the environment, and the second time I am story oriented and more ballsy action.

Eyeballs aren't meant to wiggle all over the place; There are rumors that if you game too much, in real life your eyes wiggle when talking to someone and freaks them out. lol Ok that's not true. But eye muscles need a break too or the arteries will get inflamed and pop. Ok that might not be true either. Our eye muscles need rest from all the exercising.

I think this goes with the eye strain topic because searching rooms will give me a bit of eye strain. Sometimes If I move around too much in close quarters, I'll focus on the character while the camera moves. That actually helps, but only a little. It's best to not move with your thoughts, meaning don't look right and left even if your brain wants to. Just look one way and stop for a second so the camera isn't all over the place like a brain is.

Nothing like your government banning effeminate males because they think exposing it to young males makes them not able to protect the country. I would expect they do the same for movies? Seeing something effeminate doesn't drop a person's testosterone levels. lol

The only way is to ride fast and straight. If you turn you get disoriented. 1st person on a horse is for when you want the chaotic approach.
