Helldivers 2

This one really surprised me. When I game, my preferences lead me in three directions: one with a fantastic story, one that is open world, or one that is single player. It’s best if it’s all three however Helldivers 2 isn’t any of these. I know… SHOCKING!!!

When I first started gaming, my friend started me on WoW: World of Warcraft. It was fun playing with him but then he went and got a good job and left me in that world by myself. When I started having to coop with strangers as a noob, it was only then I realized how toxic gamers can be. I was new and trying hard to learn but they were super hardcore, super impatient, and some were downright mean. I had such a bad experience I swore off of multiplayer games. It’s only been recently that I have a dedicated gaming group of people who have mutual respect for each other regardless of skill level. Now when I go into games I don’t feel alone or bullied because my boys are with me.

It was one of them that got me to give multiplayer gaming another try and he suggested Helldivers 2 because he’s also playing it. The game doesn’t have a clear goal (in my opinion), it is limited open world and while you could play it single player, it isn’t meant for that. It’s multiplayer is where it excels and is an absolute blast when playing it with friends. You are fighting enemies on different planets to spread democracy and liberty and FREEEEDOOOOM! ! ! ! ! throughout the galaxy. That’s it. Nothing complicated at all. If you don’t like multiplayer, you still might want to give this one a try. You’ll be pleasantly surprised.

There is a place called Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse that I will never consider eating at because I don’t know if it’s actually Ruth’s or Chris’s. Make your mind up already!

Authentic Friendship

My favorite kinds of friends are the ones that match your energy, no matter what you are feeling. 😂🎶

Just learned today that Oregon is the only US State that has a two sided flag. The picture on the front is not the same picture that’s on the back. #HowAwesomeIsThat

Coward-ess: Revisted

Topic: Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP, and SSI Cuts

Remember when I said, like two weeks ago about that Gremlin who ate after midnight, Lisa Murkowski, was being used by the Republican party for her vote on tax breaks for tax breaks for the wealthy? That they promised her certain provisions for her state (Alaska) but because she had to give her vote before they had to make good on their promises that once they get it they would get amnesia? Dude… it’s only been a couple of weeks and they renegged already. The part that’s blowing my mind is how regular, every day people like myself and others figured that out and she didn’t. This stank could’ve put a wrench in the works for that bill, which will devastate millions of Americans, but her selfishness costed not only us but her state, which she was trying to protect. 

My favorite part of all of this is her saying she feels cheated and used. No kidding! The fact that everybody called that the GOP would do this EXCEPT her is the reason why she doesn’t need to be in office. To be a leader you not only need critical thinking skills but the spirit of discernment to truly be effective. She has neither.

Trying to impress your girl be like...

This video is only made possible because of a glitch in the game that made it so when you repaired cars they’d blow up. It was in the game for like 4 months before they fixed it. Good times. #StateOfDecay2

The biggest fail in movie making history (to me) is there being a 28 Days Later, 28 Weeks Later, 28 Years Later but skipping over 28 Months Later. Even if they missed the 28th month window, they could’ve dropped it at anytime between the 28th month mark and the premiere of 28 Years Later. 

When An NPC Tests Your Gangsta (v2)

I need you to understand how good the world they created in #WatchDogs2 is. This rave has nothing to do with anything, it’s just an occurrence in the game world. But someone spent the extra time to program that one dude coming to mean mug you if you start dancing with them. That’s a level of detail that made this game amazing.

Purpose of this Page

Believe it or not: This website is actually my legacy project. Mortality is truly frightening to think about. Recently I begun to think about what it is I would leave behind so that the generations after me would know I was here. At the same time, I wanted something for my family to be able to hand down, so that they will always have a record of who I was, how I lived, and in these trying times, a chronicle that detailed exactly where I stood in history.
 
I have been on various social media since 2007. Do you know how much typing I’ve done since then? So I’ve started downloading all of my records from all the sites I’ve been on. I also have been posting a lot on this page because when I’m done, I am taking all of the important parts, that described me and my life and I am publishing them. 

Amazon has this great service where you can self-publish which is amazing because a lot of folks who have literary works but have no publish house backing are taking to Amazon to get their works out. All I need is a few copies to hand to family members for safe keeping and Amazon will allow me to publish only the amount I need.

The reason I am pursuing paper books in addition to this website is because I don’t know that there will be an internet or electricity in 2080 or that the public will have access to it. Publishing will allow my words to carry on without the need for technology. Picking the parts I want to include and editing will be a beast, but more than worth it.
