No.

It gave me a sort of feeling I didn’t get from anything else, that I liked. But it’s kind of hard to describe. Like standing on the edge of an epiphany but never quite grasping it.

Only ever had one, kinda. Though I’m not sure I’d call it comfortable? But it’s… visceral, which is mildy amusing because it’s trying to be cerebrial, but too much of the dialogue is just scattered quotes and philosophy references. Anyways, the movie is Ghost in the Shell: Innocence. The second one that was directed by Mamoru Oshii. These days, I don’t get anything out of watching it anymore. I watched it one too many times. But I’ve never taken to any movie like I did that one, so, it wins.

Firework sulphur

I played the first game way, way back. At the very least, I remember completing it, and liking it. So fast forward several years, the game goes on sale plenty, and I’ve forgotten nearly all of it, but remembered I liked it. So why not play it again, right? Picked it up for cheap, and just could not get into it. I tried a couple times even, but I just can’t for some reason.

AI music really caught me off guard. One day I was looking for something very specific to vibe to. I wanted instrumental power metal, like Dragonforce but no vocals. And I found that in Metal Mastery, a YouTube channel. I liked it so much I looked into it more, turns out it’s AI and the guy is very upfront about it and all. But I would have never known if I wasn’t told. There’s also nothing that really fills that niche either, so I still listen to the albums now and then.

I lost my internet for a couple of months a while back. That sucked. Since then I will track down stuff I like and save it if I can. I live alone, so not like anyone else is going to use my PC.

Or, you just wind up having no memory, and nothing to jog your memory, cause straight up, the human brain is not capable of holding onto it all. There is certainly something to be said for living in the moment, but to condemn picture taking entirely is dumb.

The movie, Aliens, plural, the James Cameron one, is utter trash. It is not a sci-fi hallmark of any sort. It is garbage that is a total slog to watch and should be lauded as terrible taste from the 80s. Even the much shat on AvP franchise, with it’s especially looked down on Requiem, is better than the shit Cameron shat out.

The classic style MMO, laden with hotkeys and hotbars, fetch quests, and grindingly gathering resources, needs to be taken 'round the barn and shot. This includes such megahits from WoW to FFXIV.

Dark Souls/Elden Ring was never good, and was only ever “okay,” at best, and never worth full price.

I’ll take my downvotes, now, thanks.

PTSD and trauma victims gobbling the pills like mad, the skills are just a bonus

I’d give away two years for expert knowledge in two areas: a painter and illustrator artist, and a successful stock broker. Fuck off from work and win at the market to cover expenses, spend the rest of my time creating whatever the hell I want with my art.

My mind seems to favor the negative memories, focuses on them, and I forget the good ones as they are no longer referenced. So I really don’t care which years I lose.

I hate that this is true. At this point it’s so ingrained in me that one leads to the other, that just smelling coffee will make me have to go. It’s a godamn Pavlov’s Coffee. I just want to drink my caffeine in peace, damn it.

My negative thoughts, mostly. Even if you don’t believe in do-gooder fallacious platitudes like “If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all,” the truth of the matter is it eases social instances to just not bring negativity to the table unless it’s really needed (which is usually to shut someone down who’s being an asshole, or seriously weighing pros and cons of something.)

No. I think it will get far less coverage than it should, will get pushed out of the news cycle early, and Trump won’t be held accountable. The only way anything happens is that someone who’s pissed off makes another assassination attempt and lands the shot this time.

Can’t help but remember that one time O.W. Gurley bought some 40 acres of land and sold it only to blacks, helping to start what would become known as Black Wall Street. Only for it to burned down in the Tulsa race massacre.

Which is not to say it shouldn’t be tried again.

At 3 billion people, I imagine paper companies would be jumping for joy.

But yeah, that sounds like it’d be a bastard to surveil.

It’d be cool if it were true, but I’m pressing X to doubt.

Back when Overwatch was fresh, had a couple randoms I wound up buddying and partnering up with pretty often for a few weeks. But one of them was a really annoying person on mic, who was just very clingy with the other guy. Then other guy wanted to drop clingy guy. Clingy guy freaked. They didn’t split but I eventually just stopped playing. Don’t know how their friendship ultimately turned out.

PS5 library could use more games, and while, yes, a computer can certainly do more and be more powerful (for a price) a console is a dedicated device that usually does its job with zero hassle or fanangling. While PC gamers love to rag on consoles, the market for them exists for a reason.

Wish they’d focus more on bringing PC games to their console rather than the other way around. Though I guess it’s not like they can force devs to port their games. Does anyone smarter than me know what this would actually takenfrom Sony to incentivize devs to port PC games to PS5? I have nearly zero understanding of ports aside from it’s not simple because of the hardware/architecture and OS being different.

Great, then, now we have another kind of hand bag.
