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

Oh Aphmau. I slayed Odin Prime for you until Odin would listen. I thought I was saving Luzaf because you loved him, but it was me you loved all along, and now my soul is in Odin's clutches instead.

The heaviest of ironies.

At least nowadays I'm more powerful than Odin, anyway, so you know...

The FFXI Adventurer does what he wants!

Do you feel guilty for not going to gym?

Im feeling like that, mostly because I ate so fricking lot this easter.

But I dont feel like leaving home. It not that I dont want to exercise, I just dont want to walk all my way to the gym in this rainy weather.

BTW, RIP pope

Guess it depends on the audience. We had some lady in our old neighborhood squat over the neighborhood sign and take a ***on it while one of the HOA board members was watching. She was clearly having some kind of mental health episode but I related to her in that moment.

How often do you reckon the Mystery Machine has to pull over so that Scooby Doo can drop a deuce?

1000xResist turned out to be longer and deeper than I expected. Definitely grew on me!

Funny seeing how many old comedy movies aged so poorly.

I watched this video about this guy reviewing 2 movies from a famous comedian here. This comedian should be somewhere between 60 to 70 year at that moment.

One of the movies was about he (the old comedian) wanting to be a kid again due how frustrating is his life. Because it is a movie, he actually manage to become a kid again.

The story goes on, when the "ending" time starts: the fake kid is reverted back to his 60-70 year old body. But he had a little girlfriend he made when he was transformed in a kid.

The solution to this impossible romance? Well, the wacko magic just transform the little girl in a barely legal teenager, so she can mantain the relationship with the old guy.

Happy (?) ending...

The second movie was about this old comedian suddenly dying and becoming an angel. Then, in te sky, the other angels task him to work as a cupid, and send the old guy, now a cupid, to help some random couple.

The story goes one, and the cupid work is done, and now is time for him to return to the sky.

But there was a girlfriend he made while he was among the living. But now they would be separated because she was alive and the old guy is dead.

The solution? Make the girfriend "become an angel" so they can both go to the sky together.

Happy (?) ending again.

Im prefectly aware mentality changes overtime. And I dont particularly review something old with current mentality.

Im just questioning how bizarre are those conclusions. They are bizarre regardless of the time.

I thought it has political theme in it? HK reference and such. It's banned in China.....


Edit: just read the interview with the creator. Apparently he has a performing art background. I guess his unique background can create something experimental and interesting....

Yeah politics is one of the themes that are not the main focus at first. I'm about 70% through the game so more themes might surface.
I didn't expect much from the game (being called "similar to Nier Automata" which is a pretty shallow comparison tbh.. but might have been good marketing for them lol), but the presentation & conversations grew on me. I could also personally relate to some issues some characters had that my friends seemed to struggle to grasp.

Panta, tastes change not just for individuals, but for entire cultures.

Disney has a vault full of animation they are far too embarrassed to re release today. Many other studios have as well.

I thought this game never feel like Nier in any way. Nier is a commercial game made by a big company with dozens of employees. 1000xresist is an art game made by a group of local performing artists who runs non-profit art organization then they decided to turn their art into interactive medium.

Their "drive" to make those games are very different to begin with.

That being said, I read the interview of the creator and his work in the past, and I find it hard to emotionally connect with his ideal and his work. I have very different opinion on all theme that he talked about in the interview lol.

It's just my intuition after reading the interview, while I like how more artists contributing in the gaming industry, I feel his ideal and what he wants to say in his game won't resonate with me that much personally.

The feeling when some homeless (boats don't count) geriatric steals yo girl.

Here Im at gym, doing stationary bike and peeking at television.

Title: “when not seen, animals show their true colors!”

Funny how all dogs being shown are always calm and playful, while all the cats are always aggressive and grumpy, and also showing emotions like jealousy, betrayals, the Hittlercats, in the end.

So, dogs >>>> cats

In the same television, they presented a stuntman called Travis Pastrana.

This name sounds so cool.

10/10

Share pls

big dogs > cats > little dogs

Here is another one:

tl;Dr: He started building a game because of COVID lockdown. And one of his central theme in his creation is immigrant life experience. Since he is a first-gen immigrant from HK himself.

Isn't that what bribery comming atractions are for?

Thanks for the links & the tl;dr. I normally avoid reading about whatever I'm playing till after I'm done, not only because of spoilers, but I also want to keep my experience "clean", uninfluenced by expectations nor colored by outside opinions.

I read the first one. I'll read the second one after I've finished the game.

Some personal thoughts in response to your thoughts:

Just watched the first three episodes of Andor Season 2, great show. The best Star Wars content in over a decade. I don't really understand why Gilroy doesn't like alien races in Star Wars...but I can accept it for this great of a story.

I started watching the first series and forgot about it. Obi Wan series was amazing, I doubt I will like anything else more.

It's kinda stupid the Excalibur cut scene didn't use the lake in Jugner. A tiny pond in Dragon's Aery... (I know thats where you get Aegis but still)

All I could think of is:

Strange women bearded guys lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

I liked watery tart better.

It does fit the legend of Excalibur though, being submerged in a lake somewhere.

It's supposed to be unique, not distributed like candy to must-make-remas adventurers.

I recently started watching Demon Slayer. I'm enjoying the show, but I had a very humorous thought that I cannot stop thinking about. Everytime they do one of their moves like

"Water Breathing. First Form. Surface Slash"

The only thing I can think of is the people who put chat lines in their WS macros.

"Glowing moon guide me! Tachi:Gekko!"

Discord confirmed it is going public in the not to distance future, and the current CEO is stepping down. He is being replaced with some dood from Activision that everyone seems to not like.

Far greater monetization is probably coming, as well as possibly greater verification demands, possibly more censorship of adult material and more features locked behind Nitro.

The biggest fear I see is people worrying that this closed platform could potentially start deleting channels, and a vast amount of information that isn't backed up anywhere else could be lost.

I'm seeing people suggest revolt could be an alternative platform if it goes to pot (or as a backup).

I've never liked Discord over forums for that reason. Published information on Discord is impossible to find.

I honestly don't like Discord much... It has all the "qualities" of a YouTube live chat.
