Wasted yet another day with working for no reason. lol

Take a warm and comfortable nap and just do nothing.

At least it's not a Yugo!

I do dabble in spirituality from time to time. I remember I used to greet the morning Sun and such. Good times. I think Buddhism have some interesting lore, but the more animistic local spirit stuff was always more fascinating to me. Also I really don't like pure materialism, it brings out my bad side.

I think Russia is pretty cool. Cyrillic alphabet looks dope. I do like they have more cultural autonomy. You can afford such things if you have a lot of nukes. I hope they stepped up the car making game since the old Lada 1200-1500 and Lada Samaras. Those weren't a marvel of engineering.

There are some more focused subreddits worth looking at from time to time, but beside that the place is basically Twitter with a better posting history. The front page is rubbish and the moderation can be really annoying. I avoid it like the rest of social media. Sadly most of the surface Internet got changed for the worse in the last 5-10 years.

I miss having different speeds during the year, the seasons and holidays. Having starts and endings.

Drinking hot coco and eating a couple of biscuits. A good way to end up a cold day.

Two things: I am super glad that I started slowing down with my media and Internet consumption. I feel a lot more stable. I cut out so much noise and things only gets better. Also man, the Windows File manager was always a mess. Why can I give cool searchable tags, but only for certain files, mostly images and not even all images. Huh?

Hi. Thanks! I would be fun to make something like it. A spectacle fighting rpg with huge-huge bosses. Ah. It happens. Is HDDVD still a thing? A remember that format war happened when the Xbox360 and PS3 were new. Time sure flies. Also the story with the small band is kinda heartwarming. Good to hear you give some love to the smaller players as well.

I guess that is true for most parts of life. A romantic vision gets you there, then you realize it's just a bunch of bureaucracy that tries to makes sense of inhuman complexity. It is pretty depressing. When you see a Practical effect you start to wonder how did they did it. CGI is known to be really user friendly so it can be just hand waved easily. Like those shots in Star Wars were impressive, the scale and everything. Yet the only CGI you see (in the non special editions) are on the computer screens and targeting computers. I feel the same for art too. I like Manga because it's still ink on paper. That has that romantic aspect even if it doesn't make any sense by the logic of pushing for efficiency for efficiency's sake (to make more money with less effort). To be human for me is to roll with imperfections and accept that art is supposed to be art, not a 1 to 1 window to an alternative reality. The show part should be there. It would be more honest. DnD sounds fun. I have never did pen and paper Role Playing myself. Metal was always nerdy. I recall Burzum saying basically he was inspired by role playing games when making Black Metal music. (strangely all Northern acts simply missed Venom's music.) I think Manowar must be the most unintentionally RPG music. They roll with a Conan the Barbarian feel for a lot of songs. Dragon Force could be a good JRPG. It's so over the top. Also... repeat the themes quite often. Is importing stuff complicated or just takes time and money? Also the weird releases are fascinating. It gives things a little lore, which I can appreciate. Oh yeah. I would say, with games you have to pick what aspect you wish to adapt. The story? The emotional impact? The world? A long winded comic or multi part film or animation could do it. Movies are too limited for that. Also... movies are made for the "general audience". See "Resident Evil" movies. Ultimately the multi media experience a fandom can provide can be the best. But that's hard to pull off.

Not Buying Bitcoin when it was super cheap!

@Metal Brony 42 That sounds like one sweet setup. The problem is that good quality releases are quite rare, especially with cartoons. Sometimes the best you can get is a DVD. Yeah, a big backlog is a common theme for a lot of people. Especially considering there are a lot of old gems out there while new good ones come out as well. Hollywood got even more soulless when they realized they can just replace creativity with an excel sheet and get away with it because the normalfolk doesn't seem to care about anything. In the 2000s it was decided that 3D is more serious than 2D animation and 3D animation must be Pixar clones, because that worked once. I think Pixar lost it's way after Disney influence clearly corrupted them into a sequel factory. The problem with being passionate about everything is... it is a futile fight against the machine. They can and will make Toy Story 10 the quest for more money and it will be still a success. One of the reasons I really quit being a "fan" in general. Don't get me wrong I do like MLP and the community, but I have zero expectations towards Hasbro. If they make something good, I may check it. If not, well, I didn't expect them to do anything good in the first place. So no worries. I have to agree on that. Too bad animation is treated as the second fiddle to live action. Of course it's not like I care about what the critics and the "academy" has to say. Also I think animation is where I can be really impressed with the quality. For example I really liked the two Lego movies. They looked gorgeous and were mostly fun as well. Lego Batman and Ninjago movie was nice too. It just works for me. With live action... After you notice the patters and tropes many movies turn way too formulaic. For example that generic orchestra they use. Also movie makers, you spend 100 mil on the movie and I can't see anything because the shaky cam is on a sugar high. I just re watched the Matrix movies and it was so refreshing that the movies were confident enough to actually show of the CGI and choreography*. It aged quite well. Effects doesn't need to be realistic, but they should make sense in the story. *I would add that CGI feels like a crutch for modern-ish productions because you have the same over animated barely believable monster being overtly animated in the forefront. Just because you can show the monster, you don't have to.... I totally agree. Of course, for that you need a more caring production. Not one that plays necromancer for nostalgia bucks. Ideally there would be a better connection between the audience and the artist. One can dream. Got any opinion about Vinyl? It seems to be a thing for audiophiles. (Unless you are a Classical Music buff) I can imagine you have a room or two dedicated for your stuff. That can be pretty neat. But a lot of dust to clean up. Also Disks can degrade in certain conditions. I like quite some genres of metal. It depends on the mood. Power Metal is pretty much what I would show to an outsider. It's basically what would an RPG fantasy game sound like if it was an album. Does it involve explosions?

Had a can of Monster Mule. It tasted like window washer, but it wasn't bad. It is supposed to be ginger tasting but it just felt more lemon. In general sugarless drinks always do worse for me. At least Monster uses something that doesn't give me a bad after taste. It was something novel and man, that is one beautiful can. Maybe the prettiest they have ever made.
