SECURITY RESEARCH AND DATA PRIVACY
Always Rambling on about Games and Security
Block, unfriend, reject and ignore options sting like a Son of a Bitch. Being on the receiving end especially from a Loved one sends me into Rage Quit mode bringing out the rampant idiot in me.
Time to step back and look at a Sunset or two.
I put down Star Wars Battlefront after 129 hours, 25 minutes and 53 seconds of game time, ending with 5,321 kills and 7,505 deaths.
Now, after over a year of retirement, I’m coming back for Part 2.
I was kinda fooling myself into thinking I could just be satisfied with watching from the sidelines, clearly, the Dark Side is too strong to resist. I’m be joining the Public Beta on 6-9 October and no doubt there will be over 5 million players doing the same thing.
EA Public Beta is a bit of a nonsense as the company probably has an army of professional gamers, developers and streamers willing to test at any time. I guess the argument is to load testing the server network but I suspect the real motivation is to hook players into buying the game, pure “try before you buy” marketing.
EA Digital net sales of $3.034 billion for fiscal 2017; this represents 61% of total net sales, up 20 % year over year.
Pretty pleased with my Orlando Winter shopping trip. Didn’t get all that I wanted but really happy with my new Tims. So much so, that I’m compelled to buy a second pair same style.
I truly don’t know if I actually suffer from winter depression or whether it’s just another made up Western medical condition but this year I’m taking no chances.
I’m currently on stand-by waiting for “something big” to drop but in the meantime, my main plans are to swing by Florida again in December to see 2018 in on Daytona Beach.
Time to reset some of my personal goals as I’ve missed 3 major career ones this year.
Myasthenia Gravis is a stealth parasite, it feeds on your low feelings, anxieties and stress.
Over the years, I’ve altered my behaviour to adapt to the condition. Naturally, this doesn’t always look good to those close to me.
I simply become aloft and robotic, not caring about anything around me and dive into work and Gaming. In truth, I do care and am probably oversensitive to my Loved ones’ Joys and Pains. It’s a messy method but helps me out of the weakness tunnel.
No meds available today
I’ve jumped back into the bizarre apocalyptic world of FallOut 4. Every time I start this game I get crazy real-world distractions but this time I’m into it.
There must be over 100 hours of gameplay here.
I fought and struggled to get to a sanctuary City but at only level 7 I can’t do much enemy damage plus I’m super low on in-game cash. I’m thinking this game, excluding the DLCs, will take me 12-15 months to complete. A nice slow grind pace with a focus on quality and detail, exploration and creativity.
Haven’t been to the gym this month
My games library contains more filler and incomplete games than usual. Time to delete some.
inFAMOUS Second Son
Just Cause 3
God of War® III
Retro Library – PacMan etc.
These button-bashing teenager games are brilliant but far from my usual Open World Player Verses Environment (PvE) setting.
I still need to complete Tales from the Borderlands and Until Dawn. Re-living the BioShock series is excellent but I’m waiting for FarCry 5 (early 2018) and Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds (Nov 2017).
Star Wars Battlefront II (17-Nov 2017) is going to be hard to resist but Last of Us 2 and Days Gone are still nowhere to be seen.
Had my last 60mg of Pyridostigmin (Mestinon) today
