Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

That was a wild 10 minutes. I made a good bit of money today though.

Personally I think lore-wise, the story was well covered with the game plus Perfect Works. I dont feel like something is missing. Sure, maybe the episode 6 that doesnt have anything about it, but I do feel Xenogears made a proper closure for anything up till episode 5.

Game wise, well… i cant stand turn based so I dont actually miss it.

But Xenogears is still living on with Xenosaga and Blade. I do feel Tetsuya Takahashi managed to properly to retell his favorite story there.

Yes, the Xeno series lived on. But that the original deserved better.

And a remake for the full scope of what we missed via disk 2 visual novel instead of game.

Talking about Xeno, is Xenoblade X DE doing well?

Oh I guess The Last of Us Season 2 review embargos are up, I didn't even know it was coming out this soon. I wasn't optimistic about this season solely because they are splitting one game into two seasons. And the reviews reflect that concern. I'll still watch it though, the cast looks good. Isabela Merced looks to be the next Scream Queen.

Yeah, replace Joe and Ellie for a mexican cartel version of LGTV+#@ community.

/yawn.

Tread carefully.

Ive had to tread carefully for the last 10 days lest i step into a pool of puppy piss.


6 hours left

...lol

Thanks. Yeah I was debating about setting up plox on an old server and setting up a VM for it but may go dedicated instead and get something else for plox, or something else for it. Decisions decisions. Wish they'd make up their mind on this spare server at work that has been sitting to the side for a year...

Update
Im still dodging puppy piss because the people who were supposed to be here tomorrow morning cant come until the afternoon and leaving the devildog caged and unchecked for 18 hours would be cruel.

Also my grandma made a coffee and spilled it on her laptop, at 11pm. Osti tabarnak. Who the *** makes a coffee at 11pm?????

Update 2
She got impatient and used her laptop despite my repeated warnings not to and now she cooked it. Gg

It was likely cooked regardless but booting it up with liquid still in it didnt help anything.

I know man... that's uh weird as ***!

I shoulda said whos grandma makes coffee at 11pm

I know you need an 11pm coffee to take down Bumba

***, now I want a late night coffee. Damn it.

Back in my uni days, one of things I liked the most is the "midnight coke" when I used to wake up aat that time and... drink a cup of Coke!

About making coffee at 11pm, I dont make them at that time, because I have them already made at this point.

But if Im awake, probably Im drinking a cup of it. I usually drink one at 9pm, thats 1h before my usual sleep time.

A caffeine addict.

Like this one.

When I was a caffeine addict it was pepsi. I would drink it first thing in the morning and last thing at night. Not to mention in between. Nasty stuff.

There was a video I watched where a dev was complaining about his career in IT/CS.

Complaining because he started this riad because he loved gaming, but never made into game developer team, and his authoral games were doing poorly.

He said that, if his only scope was gaming, then he would be broken but he managed to publish few courses and manage the basic income for him.

That made me wonder. My current and previous work kinda forced me to study many technologies that are more focused for enterprises, not gaming or other common field. I mean, developing things for a popular field/technology has lower entry barrier. For example, making games with any framework probably will have many others trying to do the same, because you just need to have a child dream to engage in that.

While managing an agule project using Github seems more niche, so not everyone will try to learn it, leave alone making a course out of this.

I actually searched for one, but the thing is, Github searches will be more biased to its repository functions instead of his project module.

Considering Im studying a bit of it to complete my current task,adding a little more effort, could probably make a course and use it as a passive income.

Sure, its niche, but if Im already learning,why not try to get the most of this time invested?

Mine was coca-cola. Two root canals later, haven't touched it in 15 years.

Brush your teeth properly

I sometimes wonder anyone has ever studied the number of CS dropouts / people who abandoned it as a career because they loved video games and thought they'd make games. My CS class had an absurd attrition rate the first year and almost all of them started thinking they'd make games then went to something else.

ITS BLACK MIRROR DAY HURRAY

The whole season in one drop, woohoo

***. It's. So. Dark. Just... evil. In the realist evil way. Not like mystical fictional evil, but that surreal real being alive sucks evil.

They always hurt in the worst way. Brutal. Oh my Christ. I swear nothing makes me experience existential dread like the way the world works only mildly exaggerated in a BlackMirror episode.

Episodes like this first one make me want to die before it actually happens.

Like 1000 Corpses/Devils Rejects evil?

No like... It can't be put into words.

Those are like, eh, it's just death. That's not that bad. Black Mirror is so much worse than death.

It's not body horror. It's not serial killer or bodily harm horror. It's psychological terror. Existential dread.

OIC

I must have had a fever dream or something because could swear I've seen that Black Mirror first episode before.

There's similar ones. There's like 4 or 5 with brain implants.

Similar threads but totally different stories.

(they also reference the bees from the third season)

Well damn that ep 2. Wild. A fun one, after the dark one.

And the third one with the love story ala San Junipero. Too good.

REALLY want to see the USS McCallister number 6.

Changing the name of the show to Eiryl Mirror
