Love dependency

Any addiction is usually not a good thing.  I’ve always known that I’m actually addicted to being in Love.

The problem, like all addiction, is that going cold turkey is painfully and long lasting.  I woke up this morning still in Love but unable to contact the object of my passion.

I need a fix badly.

Wondering around the snow covered mountains in Horizon Zero Dawn brought some comfort and I discovered a few interesting side missions while harvesting 2 nice collectibles.  The view up here is tranquil and exhilarating coming down on the zip wire.

I wanted to call her this morning to beg for one more chance but pride stopped me.  I don’t believe I deserve another chance.  Maybe it’s just better to let her go rather than risk causing more damage and destroying the good memories.

I can’t get the Manhattans 1976 track out of my head

Many months have passed us by
I'm gonna miss you I can't lie
I've got ties and so do you
I just think this is the thing to do
It's gonna hurt me I can't lie
Maybe you'll meet another guy
Understand me won't you try, try, try
Let's just kiss and say goodbye

 

14 days off-line

I’m back on the PlayStation Network after 14 days of being totally offline. So I didn’t quite make my 30 days goal and actually have no reason to stay off gaming right now.  I kept up-to-date by watching fellow games on Twitch.

Relocating to a new game base is refreshing and I’m actually not on junk food path. This forces me to plan meals and walk up two flights of steps every day.

As usual, going back online means deploying mandatory game and system patches. In my case, I had to upgrade to version 4.55 with 360mb of updates alongside various game title updates.

I jumped into HELLDIVERS™ as a system check and added Abzû to my library.

Abzû was released August 2016 and should be a pretty relaxing game.


With a major certification exam planned for December, I need to re-start my reading and research activity, book my exam and order the courseware.

London is my strength it allows me clarity of thought and is great for clothes shopping and catching up with friends or family.  Wanted to visit GP to get more meds but no time right now.

Last seen 10 Days ago

It’s been 10 days since my last PS4 session….daaaaaaaaam boy.

My digital life is packed away in a box inside a box inside a secured facility for reasons beyond my control.

Abandoning my second Life does has side-effects though.  The real impact of no daily gameplay means there’s no outlet for all the f%*ked up thoughts in my head and I don’t have the sort of money where I can say or do exactly what I want in real life.

Major downside include

Inability to explore new environments

Inability to trigger fear

Inability to escape from Ordinary life

Lack of ability to communicate with like-minded people

Lack of escape route for angry or rage

Lack of tangible achievement or progress

Current daily game time Zero.

World War II is back

It’s been over 10 years since I played a Call of Duty Game with any real commitment.

2006 CoD 2 and 3 took up many days after work in my brother’s office on my PC Gaming Rig built especially for the game with high-end graphic cards at the time.

After the series went into modern warfare themes and consoles I lost interest and the player base was flooded with mass market teenage and casual gamers.

Now the series is returning to its origins this November with the promise of Beta galore.

Will I return?

I last played Call of Duty properly in 2006

11 days before the incident

Jumping off a cliff can very often be the trophy moment.

LIMBO ™ has a really interesting prize for walking downhill into absolute pitch blackness. The feeling of fear and uncertainty was priceless.

Find the way out of LIMBO ™

At the end, the reward was satisfying and I looked back at my hesitation on taking the risk and wonder why.

In 11 days I’m going downhill into real world Zero emotional vision, no hesitation.

I want this.
I need this.
