I love group working, provided their is right chemistry, understanding, I wouldn't reject such kind of job. I will only deny working with group and choose working alone when majority of my coworkers are toxic. 

Johnbonne Reviews was my review channel, now used to upload Let's Plays whinging about just about everything. Currently I'm playing Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly, and afterwards I plan on playing Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Chaos Bleeds. Not video gaming as such, but I also do D&D session recaps on this channel. Neither are monetised (if there are ads, it's due to copyright issues with music) and I only really make the videos for my darling, but if anyone's interested in watching the content, here it is.

There was also that Bitconnect coin that was about in the early days on Crypto around 2017 and coin at one point was about $500 but once it was discovered that the whole thing was a ponzi scheme, the coin became worthless within a week. I do believe the Crypto world needs some kind of regulation on such entities. I just don't want the corrupt banks to be in charge of it.

I value consistency and loyalty, why I have only two friends is because this two individuals has been with me not just when things are good but even when I go through difficulties. My closest friend once went out of his way to help me out when I needed a new phone and just couldn't get one because I was so broke and my former Device has deteriorated and repair wouldn't even solve the issue. I would cherish him till my last moments on Earth.

I don't need friends at the moment that can transform my life or add value at least. I have one good friend, but he's far away from me, we are just keeping distance relationship. My cousin brother who stays with me is my best friend at the moment. 

I do my research before investing in anything Crypto but as a general rule for me, anything that sounds too good to be true, I just don't fool around with it. I nearly invested in things like the Anchor protocol and Celsius but I decided against it and both have gone bust this year with people losing millions of dollars. I'm curious as to why the creator of such scam tokens aren't facing fraud charges.

That's true , I got this lady who supplies me home made liquid soap at my apartment and it's really good and has a really nice fragrance better than some branded products I know. I am always buying from her instead of going to the stores, her products are good and I want to support her and see her grow as well.

Kinda the same. My friend was the only person at the time who had the internet, so in order for me to get some cheats, I had to go over to his house, and ask if they could search for cheats. I got cheats for some PS1 games back in the day. I remember having to write them down sometimes, or they would be cool to print off a sheet. But I remember my friend saying I had to pay $1 to print lol. 

I actually have. Been playing with my nephew and a friend as of late. Don't mess with Vader, he's a beast. 
 
Yeah it's been a while for sure. Happy to be back. 🙂 And yeah, I oftentimes forget to even play. There are nights where I want to play, and then I just change my mind and watch a movie or something. 
 

You can retire at any age in the US. You must be at least 62 to receive social security retirement benefits.

How did you do that for just 2 hours daily? When the average hours to finish the game is 50 hours, according to statistics. If I multiply the hours you spent around the game, it is 14 hours when we go by two hours daily. 
Check the screenshot out:

I'll join the squad and also say LAN parties.
We would start on Friday afternoon, sometimes after school and lunch, then spent a few hours setting everything up in someones basement of weekend house, after which you would have two to three straight days of snacks, drinks and coffee, mostly playing Unreal Tournament.
Solo-wise I remember that I also could, without any issues, play UT from 4 PM till 4 AM if I had the time. I'm a sucker for shooters, always have been.
p.s. I tried Persona 5, the long-ass tutorial of 4 fkn hours killed me, I'll try it again sometimes, but man these devs weren't normal when designing the tutorial stage of the game.  

Of course it is real - it's a contact sport. I've done martial arts as a kid and ended up with a broken arm during a tournament final. I did win the final but it took my hand two months after to be fully functional again.

This one is for 'Soul hackers II trailer. 

The industry changed a lot in the past 4 years, I'm trying to avoid it in general, not because I'm not up for it, but because it's not standardized properly yet.
I was working as a marketing consultant for a few operators and saw the switch from "We don't know what esports is" to "Ok let's offer esports betting on our site" and most of the larger operators who had an actual license to do it got burned in their first year.
I'm not gonna name any companies, but the process looked like this basically, the operators thought that
- they can do the numbers in-house with their own traders, not keeping in mind that their traders are not savvy with esports and don't know the market at all.
- they can believe the "large brands" within the esports world, and the more noise a team has generated on social media, the better they must be.
- the IESF organization will be open for partnerships (spoiler: they weren't)
- (most important) the users who will gamble will be mostly 18+ for Europe and 21+ old for Canada
In return what they got was an influx of minors with fake ID's and mom and pa's credit cards who wanted to gamble, and those who were old enough were also experienced within the esports world and knew the teams/players good enough to win almost every bet there was.
I remember that the biggest flop was that match where we had a female team competing in one of the earlier LCL's, I think the name was Vavictus or something along those lines.
In other words, the first few years were a disaster. Until the pandemic kicked, then all of a sudden the old traders were replaced by experienced esports traders, and the whole industry has somewhat matured. Nevertheless, there's still no historical data on a bunch of teams, and it's hard for the traders to set up the correct numbers.
 

I had to google what the "less than the sum of it's parts" means and i'm still not 100% sure what it means exactly but i'll try to do my best to cover a few games combined over a couple of posts. I apologize in advance that It may not be as in depth or as good as @Withywarlock posts but the least i can do is help out and keep this thread alive. Let's start with an obvious choice :
Mafia III ( Hangar 13/2k games 2016 )
Mafia series has always been a favourite of mine, albeit the first 2 games are mosly linear in an open world city as there is little to no exploration possible in both games. The strength in both games were always the story, fun and varied missions, great likeable characters you know the sorta things you expect from a mafia game.
Mafia 3 takes another route by going full blown open world because that is what all the games tend to to these days but boy in my humble oppinion New bordeaux is still one of the best open worlds to mess around with it, it's bursting with life, different communities in different disctricts, the 60 ies atmosphere shines trough and trough and you really feel like you are into late 60 ies.
The story is top notch and has great production value, if you haven't played it i'm not going into details about the story, but's all about revenge and you're pretty much a man army kinda like a 60 ies John rambo. There are some really likeable characters like Donovan and that priest who's name eludes me sadly just to name a few. However the main character Lincoln Clay is as boring and generic as possibly can be, this is the first thing of critique that stands in the way of the game being a modern classic as you never feel really connected to the main character.
Musicwise you'll get greeted by jimmy hendrix on the title screen so you just know it coulden't get any better then this. Killing dudes on the tunes of Creedence clearwater revival, the animals or even the rolling stones it never gets old. Just look at the sountrack and judge for yourself.
Let's talk about the exellent combat it's brutal and there is a real sense of satisfaction when you kill everybody the stealth way with a rambo-esque knife, the gameplay is top notch, pretty much your cover/shoot affair nothing wrong with that. Guns handle well and each feel unique to handle. The cars feel heavy they way it should be and the handling is one of the better i've seen in open world games. There are some of greatest collectibles i've seen in any video game like album covers, playboy centerfolds, hot rod magazine you know items you would go out of your way to get. 
Now here is where "are less than the sum of it's parts" is in place. The whole premise of the game is to take over new bordeaux district by district, things you have done a million times already in ubisoft games. Not only that but the missions are repetitive and are just plain boring after a while and you just force yourself to continue playing because of the great story. You go on all this effort to make 90% of the game a potential modern classic just to was it all with these boring activities and missions why oh why hangar 13.
I haven't played any of the mafia III dlc so this is just the base game i'm talking about. Also it's been a while like 5+ years since i played the game so apoligies if i forgot to cover anything in particulair, since this was the first title that came to my mind, figured i'd give it a go.

I know you never seen me in reality, if you see me, you wouldn't ask me to lose weight anymore because I'm already petite, upon say I love eating much. 

That's cool to read your experiences on things you do mainly online and offline that takes your time. I trade for a living, then aspire to become a professional football player in the next couple of years. 

That's cool, I spend some time in crypto currency catching up the latest news and updates, aside this I am writing contents making research about more interesting contents , performing micro tasks and managing my business from home.
