I want to talk more about martial arts because it’s such an important part of my life. Putting living beings aside, I would say it’s the most important. It has changed my life in so many ways, it’s hard to count them. I honestly don’t think I would be alive today without Taiji. That’s not hyperbole. I… Continue Reading
In yesterday’s post, I was talking about how much martial arts mean to me. I most certainly would not be here without Taiji. I believe this to be true with 100% of my heart. When I was in the hospital, every medical person I talked to could not believe that I had woken up from… Continue Reading
I am fighting the haze of depression and wondering if it was worth it to come back to life. For the first two or three years after my rebirth, I was just filled with wonder at being alive. That is not a state of being one can sustain, though. The body will return to the… Continue Reading
I’m writing this on Christmas Day, and I’m contemplative. I don’t celebrate Christmas, but everyone else in my life does. It’s another thing where I don’t mind that I’m different from everyone else, and I’m not bothered by people wishing me a Merry Christmas. it’s taken me many decades to be truly neutral about Christmas,… Continue Reading
Am I making a third post about Balatro (LocalThunk)? Yup. Did I ragequit the game when getting what I considered to be an unfair final boss? Also yup! Did I go back the next day and win the next run? Yup for the third time! Let’s talk about that loss. Before I do, here is… Continue Reading
Let’s talk more about Balatro (LocalThunk) and indie games in general. Yesterday, I did A Quick Look at the game, and I have more to asy about it. It’s hard to describe to someone who hasn’t played it because you simply cannot capture the addictive nature of it in words. As I mentioned yesterday, just… Continue Reading
There is a phenomenon in gaming called Balatro (LocalThunk). It’s hard to describe what it is exactly, but I can start by saying it’s a poker-based game that is also a roguelike. If that sounds like a weird match-up, you’re right–but you’re also wrong. It’s developed by one guy, LocalThunk, who was inspired by a… Continue Reading
I’m…maybe close to the end of the DLC for Ghost of Tsushima (Sucker Punch Productions), and I will say that I hope so because I’m so wiped out. I want to go back to the–oh yeah. *SPOILER WARNING* fight with the Khan. I mentioned in my last post that my uncle ostensibly helped me with… Continue Reading
I finished Ghost of Tsushima (Sucker Punch Productions) yesterday. I will once again talk about the story in detail as I did in the last post. Yet again: *SPOILERS* I mentioned in the last post how I thought things with my uncle would go after killing the Khan (as they call Khotun Khan)–and I will… Continue Reading
Back to pour more salt on my already irritated wound. Before I start, though, I have to say that one thing you gotta know about me–I will play the hell out of a game. It’s my personality that I will gorge myself on something I like well past the point where I should quit. That’s… Continue Reading
