I like my games Real but daaaaaaaaam

Every active Division agent must be thinking “oh s**t, they went and done it in the real world.” So, the collapse of societies is upon us.  Things that mattered 30 days ago are trivial today.

  • Hospitals and medical services unable to cope with demand.
  • Groceries and common supplies become limited – shelves are empty
  • Major cities on lock-down
  • Quarantine mandated
  • Martial Law in effect
  • Airline ground flights for the foreseeable future…..but
When’s the next train? Tom Clancy’s The Division
  • Water taps are running
  • Electricity is still here
  • Banks are still open
  • …And WhatsApp still works

More fiction please

God of War – Yes, finally and the first chapter takes you out of any reality your currently suck in.

No, I don’t know when this Pandemic will end – God of War

The 2020 Games

Putting certain goals on your New Year’s Resolution is a sure-fire way of failing them.  The social pressure to announce an annual goal is as prominent as ever and many of us just blurt out random expected goals like losing weight, give up smoking, etc. with no real commitment or expectation to achieve the goal.  You are fooling nobody but yourself.

My goal for 2020 is to have less than 15-hours a week PS4 game time.  This will help me to focus on quality gaming rather than casually picking up the latest title but will hurt my PVE Raiding.

….but wait

Does watching game streams actual gaming? The second hard experience of watching streamers pace through your favorite titles may be considered involvement and therefore gaming by some.  The fact that you interact with the gamer, shape their direction and share their failures and achievements is relevant.  It also takes dedicated time but smart lurkers often have multiple screens for this.

Let the 2020 Games begin

Can I have a word?

One of the questions that makes me want to run away. It is almost always followed by bad or horrendous news or uncomfortable questions often from someone senior or a person with power over you i.e. Human Resources. Its impact is compounded when the person hasn’t made any contact over a long period of time which no doubt led up to this conflict.

As a manager or leader, this tool can be a powerful asset to delivering good news and provide a critical turning point to boost moral.

Sadly, this opportunity is often missed.

Can I have a word? Actually; no f#@k off, in fact I’m gonna block you from all comms.

Last of the Summer Whine

Well, play time is nearly over with the meteorological Autumn well in season.  Time to consider winter coats and long sleeve shirts.  Apparently, it will be easier to get loot and gear in Division 2 after the next update. This will be perfect for me to immerse myself outside real life.

The real-life grind ahead of me for the next few months will be at “challenging level” and I’ll need to pull on the talents of those around me.

More gear please

There’re in my head….

Games as a Service (Gaa) is now the dominant content delivery method on PS4 which means you pretty much rent stuff as opposed to owning it. Dammit, another thing you should add to your digital asset list on your Last Will & Testament.

PS4 Plus is mandatory if you want to play online games but comes with lots of free games every month so long as you maintain membership. So for my own little self-Denial of Service I’ve let my service expire for a few weeks, this kills of Division 2 for a while but I’ll plan to be back in August.

Nice day to be offline

A truly horrendous day IRL but exploring the landscape of FarCry New Dawn is a pleasure.  I found a sniper and happily going hunting for wascally wildlife.

Offline gaming with the right title is awesome and feel clean and focused so I’ll let my PS4 Plus subscription (60 USD) expire in the next few days as a take on new expeditions.
