    I came out a few weeks ago on Facebook as trans but still didn't bother to make a similar declaration here as well. So yeah, this is it. It's been about 6 months or so since I made this actual decision, and came out slowly to a few friends and family I knew wouldn't react negatively, until finally making it known to the world at large (at least my little section of it) on Facebook two weeks ago. I'm still not out at work, and am still not presenting female all of the time. I've changed my name/pronouns on Facebook, so don't be afraid to use those! This coming Tuesday i'm going to see a doctor and hopefully start hormone treatment. Other than that, and the fact that i'm growing my hair out, I don't really know what the fuck i'm doing in regards to my transition specifically. It's a slow process, but it's an ongoing one. Here's the letter I sent out to people better explaining where i'm coming from if anyone cares to read it. Also, here's a pic from last week. The hair is (obviously) a wig, but i'd absolutely love to have my actual hair at a similar length. So yeah, there's my story.

    Something involving video production, ideally editing. I've always been interested and dabbled before but never went into it in too much detail. You know I've been desperate for a career change for years but nothing really appealed enough to kick me into action. Just came to me a few months ago, I've done a bit of reading in what is available in terms of work and study, my plan right now is: - Get badass PC (done). - Start making short films and edits in my spare time (begins today!) - Enrol in a night class (enrolled for August already). - If I take to it and I'm this motivated by the end of the year, I'll apply for the full-time 2 year TV production course which covers everything - direction, editing, production, sound production, etc. Giving me the best base to find a career at the end of it. Scary stuff, I might get to the end of the year and decide it's nothing more than a hobby but that's my aim right now. I'm deeply, deeply unhappy with my career.

    Trading in my PS1 RPG's for new PS2 games when I was 15. We're talking about Suikoden II, Valkyrie Prfoile, both Lunar's, ect... As for a buying regret, Fable will be the biggest one for me. Bought the game at full price and 100% the game in 12 hours....

    I thought the movie was a blast. I got even more joy out of it after hearing the theories that it's actually a sequel to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I don't know how much the original creator actually intended that, but when the first few previews for the show were coming out, they actually played an arrangement of Pure Imagination, so someone's at least aware Haven't watched the show myself, yet, but my girlfriend actually just binged through it recently and she loves it. So I'll have to give it a shot soon.

    1. Final Fantasy VII Remake 2. Death Stranding It's kind of crazy to think that these are the only two games I've beaten so far this year, but I guess I've been playing a decent amount of unbeatable games or ones that are online-focused. But I finally beat this game. Got the Platinum trophy, too, which I'm pretty sure is only my second one. It was actually fairly easy if you've already put all the time into it I did. Just tedious. Overall, I kinda compare this game to Final Fantasy XV. There's a great engine and gameplay style being employed, with a big open world that you can take a lot of time to explore. But there's not really enough in the world to make it consistently interesting. The difference for me is FFXV still made the open-world part feel satisfying and rewarding to explore. Death Stranding's world...kinda doesn't. Likes are useless when not for the sake of leveling a location up, so the lost cargo becomes an endeavor of diminishing returns in most cases. The memory chips and the lore is cool, but there's only so many mountain peaks and interesting areas where you'll find something like that to really make it worth your while. And I hate hate hate how cut and paste a lot of the game is. The distribution centers all reuse the same models and animations, with the same cookie-cutter dialogue templates, and it contributes to the "low reward" factor. I also feel like the stealth was only really engaging the first few times. After that it just became tedious. The majority of the boss fights offering little in the way of variance didn't help either. All of this became more painfully obvious when I came back to it after putting it down for a couple months. Before, I saw the shortcomings and was still pretty into connecting all the centers and 100%-ing everything. But it was almost enough to make me give up on the game when I came back. That said, I decided to plow through the story and...I ended up getting hooked again. The story was, surprisingly, pretty tame and coherent compared to the MGS storyline. Stuff that's still overly complex, but actually makes a good amount of sense and is told pretty straight-forward once the info is out there. You do need some of the interviews and reports to put together the whole story, but even without that stuff, the event of the last few chapters actually come together pretty clearly, even if you don't remember every detail from earlier parts. There weren't a lot of twists that you couldn't see coming in some way, but the big one definitely made me drop my jaw. While I feel the story wasn't spliced into the gameplay enough to really make you grow with the characters, the final moments end up being pretty emotional. Death Stranding isn't perfect, and definitely not for everybody. I think what Kojima has is an excellent engine and a base idea that could be expanded into future entries that really take advantage of the possibilities. The game feels a bit rushed as far as the actual content that fills up your game clock. But with a few more story moments mixed into the entire game and a world that's actually interesting and rewarding to explore, I could see myself falling in love.

    Being a huge fan of pre-disney star wars i have an issue but i am able to put that aside for what looks like it could be a fun game. I feel like this mission is called "Everything is bigger on Kashyyk" I like how they took hardcore parkour and said "what if you could add the force to it?" The combat looks solid and fun. My only issue with the combat is if he's swinging his lightsaber around like that there'd be limbs flying. Otherwise combat looks fun. My issue... he is exhibiting an ability to control the force to an EXTREME degree. Stopping that rotating thing near the end to walk across probably should not have been that easy... being said with how much control of the force he is showing he should have been able to jump that gap. Also throwing a lightsaber is not an easy thing. Most lightsabers were built with a safety feature that the activation is not a simple on/off you have to keep pressure on the button therwise it shuts off. So throwing it you have to use the force to keep the button depressed during the throw. Like i said though, i'm a pre-disney fan so... fuck disney ruining SW (yes i'm salty) Good on this studio for presenting something that looks pretty solid. I am cautiously optimisti

    Dude! Forgot to say thanks again for that theater loyalty cup you gave me from the movie we went to. Already used it a few times and saved me like $8.
