The Blackangel

I would go back to the golden era of gaming. The 80's to early 90's. That was the last time games had any individuality or innovation. They were unique, and completely different. Nowadays, everything is a sequel. There's nothing new that hasn't been overdone a hundred times. It's all the same thing rehashed with a new name. I understand that there can be a good idea to follow with a franchise, but at least give it some fucking diversity. Just look at Castlevania. It doesn't exist anymore. The last time I remember a Castlevania game was PS3. That's 2 generations ago. Now, everything is some form of Call Of Duty style game, or Grand Theft Auto game. Why are there no unique games? Everything is a god damn ripoff or a fucking sequel. Game developers need to grow some fucking balls and take a chance with something new and unique.

Naturally, I'm nocturnal. But these days, due the the MD, I'm usually so worn out and tired that I go to bed somewhere between 7:00 to 8:00 at night. Then I don't usually wake up until 9:00 to 10:00 in the morning. I don't have a lot of time awake anymore. Nine hours or so. My body is wearing out. I'm scared that before long, I won't even have the physical strength to handle a controller and play any games. It's already happening with my keyboard. I have to stop what I'm doing, and take both hands sometimes to press down a single key.

I watch NBC. I watch our local news, and the NBC Nightly News. Other than that, I get my news online from a few actually reputable sources. A YouTube channel I'm subscribed to that has reliable sources and gives unbiased credible news is The Humanist Report. His news is well worth watching, and he covers everything from politics, to pop culture. I watch several of his videos daily.

"State Run" is a term that often means corrupt. Fox is a republiKKKlan corporation. They don't report actual news, they are a right wing heavily biased fake news company. They are heavily run by anti-Democrat, anti-democracy, fascists. These people are wanting to get a system where Democrats are imprisoned, or at the very least barred from being able to vote or run in any elections. They are the same treasonous terrorists that attacked the Capitol on January 6th. They called the attack a "heroic action to save America." They incite the right wing lunatics to pull shit like this, as often as they can, because they are right wing lunatics themselves. It's treason, terrorism, and war.

So is everyone's recommendation NordVPN?

This should be the national antherm.

I will admit that I have destroyed hundreds of controllers and dozens of systems due to rage. Not my proudest moments, but every gamer has at least been to the point that they wanted to. Not every gamer has acted upon that rage.

And people say that I need anger management. At least I don't act like a fucking toddler.

The last music festival we went to, we rented a popup camper. It was basically heaven on wheels, compared to a tent on the ground. I wouldn't complain about having one of them to pull around when traveling if I thought I would need it. There's not always a hotel nearby when your eyes start to droop.

One of my solar watches was about $200, and it was a bundle with a bracelet. The other was around $800. It has a lot of other dials on it and extra features. It's not a diving watch, but it's pretty damn close in its construction. Any light source works to charge them. I just set mine by the glass door in the kitchen because all year round, sunlight pours in through it. I left it there for a few days, and voila. It was charged.

I haven't seen Johnny Bravo in years. I had actually forgotten about the show. He was always funny as hell. And scarily familiar, as all the guys in my area acted exactly like him. They were always kissing their own asses. The only difference is that Johnny Bravo was smarter than the guys here. I got tired of one guys bullshit and told him that when he was done kissing his own ass to let me know, because my ass was full of shit too and I needed to fart.

The only thing nearby that has anything is the abandoned watch tower, and Fairvale Shanty. The good thing about FV is that you can loot it as many times as you want. It always has a gold nugget, platinum watch, and platinum earrings. usually earrings. Sometimes it switches it around, but the watch and nugget are always there. You only have to ride a certain distance from it for it to reload. It's not too terribly far. But it's often got a damn grizzly bear hanging out there, so approach with caution.

If it's just a different ending sequence but led to the same conclusion, then I don't have a problem with it. In all honesty, I really don't give a shit either way. I go through a game, and that's pretty much it. If I unlock an alternate ending, then so be it. At this moment, I can't say that I remember ever unlocking one, or ever intentionally trying for one. If I have, that's fine. If I haven't, that's fine too. Going after an alternate ending defeats the purpose of playing a game anyway. You're not playing the game to enjoy it, you're playing it for the ending it shows. If that's all you're after is a different ending credits, then watch it on YouTube instead of wasting your money on the damn game. There are some things in gaming, that I just have never given the slightest bit of a shit about. Alternate endings is one.

I've seen them all promoting ExpressVPN. I've never seen any of them promoting NordVPN. Even AVGN promotes ExpressVPN.

If someone doesn't like me playing something they have 2 options. 1) Piss off 2) Fuck off

They really don't have any difference at all. Art is entertainment. Entertainment is art. The Louvre houses some of the greatest art in the world, and it entertains thousands if not millions every year. Entertainment is everything from movies, to plays, to games, to books. It's all an art form from the creator. My art, as you all know, is the written word. They are one and the same.

Rinoa from FF8 or Sadie from RDR2 are the only two that come to mind for me.

It depends on how far I actually went into it. If I went far into the game, then it's on me. It had my attention and interest in the beginning. If it is in a genre that I'm a huge fan of, like fantasy, and the game just sucked in my opinion then it's still on me. Witcher 3 is like that. I didn't like it, but that doesn't mean the developers are to blame for my personal taste.

For some they give a person's life meaning. People like myself for example. I can't play any sports. I can't go for a walk. I can't wrestle with my dog. I am stuck in a god damn chair. The most value I have is to eat, sleep, and shit. Games give me something I actually can do, and sometimes something I can succeed at. They occupy my mind, eyes, ears, and hands. If I don't have something that occupies all 4 of those I get extremely antsy, which tends to lead to panic attacks. All because there's nothing much else that I can do. If it wasn't for games, I most likely would have shot myself by now since my diagnosis. Games are a life saver.

I do that with FF8 on my Switch. I find a powerful enemy that I can equip counter on Zell and an elemental attack that will actually heal the beast. Then I leave it running overnight with Rinoa and Squall in the fight. It requires Rinoa, because I'm using the Angelo Search ability to farm rare items like Ribbons. Which are some of the best items in the entire game.
