I’m writing about being a weirdo and how I mask it on the daily. Here is yesterday’s post about how I pretty much keep my trap shut about, well, almost everything. In particular, about intelligence/empathy. I was trying to tease out why people react so negatively about someone plainly saying they were intelligent/empathetic in a… Continue Reading
The last time I talked to K, we had a very frank talk about things we didn’t say in the gen pop. Nothing nasty or gross, but things that we knew most people would not understand. I have told this story many times, but I’ll tell it again to make my point. A few decades… Continue Reading
This is the second post about my ideal soulslike. Here is the first post from yesterday in which I managed to list 3 things that I would/would not include. The platforming thing is a big one. In fact, if I were the monarch for the day, I would decree that no non-platforming games could have… Continue Reading
Talking about Stranger in Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin (Team NINJA) in the last several posts as well as about soulslikes in general has made me muse about what would actually be my ideal soulslike. Here’s the last post I wrote about SiP: FFO. I mention it because I am stil playing Killing Chaos (it’s alternate… Continue Reading

I have to say that I am still struggling with this game. This game being Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin (Team NINJA).

I have talked in previous posts as to my frustrations with Team NINJA games, and this has the same issues writ… Continue Reading
I’m still playing Stranger of Paradise; Final Fantasy Origin (Team NINJA. Note: That’s how the write their name. Previously, I had been calling them Team Ninja, but have realized they capitalize all of Ninja). I just went up against the second boss, who was much easier than the first and only had one health bar,… Continue Reading
I know that I can only change myself. I mention that because I’ve been musing about family and getting frustrated with my parents. Different reasons for each one, but frustration just the same. I don’t bring any of it to my father because he can’t help how he is (dementia), and it’s just how he… Continue Reading
I intended to write a post about dementia, which I still will. However, today on Ask A Manager, there was a post from a man who is in the same industry as his well-known (and well-loved) father. The letter writer (LW) is estranged from his father, and he wrote in because they are both up… Continue Reading
