What Are You Thinking?

I've gotten used to feeling anxious so now that I'm optimistic I'm worried about it fading fast.

But maybe the test is how to have persistence rather than giving up?

People say I got a good head on my shoulders. So now I should use it more.

Khalid (the guy in my profile pic) was the first character I really created but he's the one I'm most lost on.

I guess my problem was he was based off all the problems I was dealing with and haven't really resolved. So I needed some distance to really figure out who he was.

Recently I started seeing him more like Noctis and dressed like the 14th Doctor. He's been psychic since he was 5 so I figured he'd grow more aloof as he got older.

I also realized I've created many characters hiding something.

Maybe I'll write an optimist one day?

Apparently someone is making a game with zombies in medieval times while a war rages on.

I mean... I like the idea of setting it during a war, the death toll is a good excuse to bring zombies into the mix but... Bro, good luck to any of them tryna bite into a knight covered head to toe in full plate armor.

Idk dude, ultimately I think zombies in an era where soldiers were actually armored would be completely non threatening.

We truly live in clown world.

The other day, an advert was banned for portraying "racial stereotypes" because it was a recruiting ad for prison officers in which said officer was white and the inmate was black. Except that no actors were involved in the ad, both roles were played by a real prison officer and inmate (and was one of many variant ads featuring many different ethnicities) so they were not "portraying" anything other than reality. The funniest (if you can really call it that) part was one of the justifications for the ban was that the inmate had a comb in his afro and so was depicting a "black stereotype"...but then you recall that's a real person being themselves so the people getting offended basically are telling a black man to be "less black".

Someone shared fanart of Cloud and Tifa's future kids and it made me wish we got FF7-2 instead of FF7R.

Oh well.

I am finally free from the shackles of unemployment as of the hundreds of job interviews I've done this year, I finally got a successful job offer back.

I am now once again a productive member of society.

Autumn starts to affect my mood again, but I'm confident I'll make it. It's been significantly better for two autumns already. And I've got it covered, I've got physical, social and mental safety net prepared.

It's fine. Still it frightens me though.

It got me thinking about what my star wars self insert would be.

I'd be a force sensitive kid who wasn't chosen as a padawan. So I'm returned to my family and have to adjust as a regular citizen.

I end up missing all of the Clone wars but still have to run from the Empire.

I end up with teaming up with Quilan Vos who ends up training me anyway. I'm a padawan at 21...lol.

This was fun. Lol.

Edit- I pitched on YouTube and the video uploader loved it. She told me it felt like a real story she'd read so now I know what to pitch if I get scouted by Disney....

Buddy, I don't think the 'God hardened Pharoah's heart' argument has been validly used for about 2000 years now. Not even war criminals convicted in Nuremberg gave that one a try.

YOUTUBE: "Here's some new extended gameplay footage of the Dead Space remake!"

*The player for the gameplay video continues to shoot Necromorphs in the head and body, wasting ammo.*

Why is life so much more work after you pass 30 lol

They say that Empires last only around 500 years on average, and after looking at the news and seeing that Americans in Pennsylvania elected a literal dead man to be their state representative...yeah, I think the writing might be on the wall.

It's going to be so good when I finally get a day off work. Thankfully I have a week off at the end of this month.

Andor episode 10 was a banger. Best Star Wars yet. Best bloody prequel too.

Both my Time Lord Victorious novels came in the mail recently. I got something to do while the storm hits Florida.

I might've caused a Twitter fight over whether or not Luna from FF15 is boring. I gotta find a better outlet for my fan interests.

David Tennant also being the 14th Doctor got me excited for the 60th anniversary. I'm also skeptical because it's also a pragmatic business decision. But if the specials rock I'll be fine. Not gonna lie, new Doctor's always bring hype because it's fun to think of the possibilities.

I am thinking it is a sad day, a big part of my early teen years that got me into comics and into batman while i was learning english

Has passed away, rest in peace kevin Conroy. You will be missed, but you will never be forgotten and your soul and work will be immortalised forever

Best batman of all time, rest easy

One of my friends from college reminds me of a sitcom character. Not a specific one but our dynamic feels like out if a sitcom.

A random memory hit my head: the moment during my lab assistant studies when I was holding a presentation, made a little demo on 'golden rain reaction' with lead iodide ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_rain_demonstration ). Beautiful as heck! ... and I told my classmates to search "golden shower" in Google to see some more.

Never ever EVER in my life have I cursed my poor memory that much than during those long minutes of laughter.

Also: *insert the meme for a new core memory*.

It's less than that and more-

It's more a commercial venture than a creative venture.

It's a time sink that should be spent on other projects.

There's disagreements over which games should get remade.

I'm mixed on remakes myself because I think remaking games is more valuable than movies or books but more time consuming. So it's a trade off.

It's more a commercial venture than a creative venture.

Every remake has its own back-story.

For example, in RE2 remake's case, it was a dream project from the producer for years before he finally got the courage to submit his pitch to Capcom.

My point is how remaking games has always been a thing for a long time.
Some people are only realizing it now because a few games they were paying attention to are getting remakes.
