My normal rigid emotional state has been stretched over the past 10 days supporting Loved ones and friends. I wasn’t at full readiness but was able to be there when needed. All down to my single-minded goal focus.
Talents and Perks used in real life
Living simple, clear out unnecessary material things, filter communication, eliminate social media chatter.
Outcome
Of course, this creates new social links whether you like it or not.
With only 6 days remaining, I’m total ready for FarCry 5. With US server downloads ready on Sunday, I can see it may well take 1-2 dayst to complete the download.
I’ve decided to take early retirement at Level 60 on FallOut 4, freeing up hard drive space and preparing for FarCry 5. In the meantime, I’ll do the last Global Event in March on Tom Clancy’s The Division just to get some Loot with a chance of exotic weapons and classified gear.
Still plenty of game-play left at Level 60
Right now, I’m full of winter excuses for not hitting the gym but have at least I’ve started studying again.
It’s been over a year since my last tooth extraction. It took two burly male dentists to get those sucker teeth out of my head. Leading up to the operation the pain was so bad I couldn’t think or walk properly. I cried daily to myself.
The memory pain faded pretty fast as I pushed it deep in the past…but sometimes it’s good to remember the pain, learn from the pain.
What the “bleep-bleep” is that for?
You ruined my life and I hate myself for allowing it to happen, I failed with blunt indecision but not anymore. Rationalisation comes with plenty of unintended consequences, no more playground fun, no more “why” questions and it’s all so quiet now.
I’ve started on a new study path that will take me 6 to 8 months to complete. After that, it’ll be academically satisfied for till 2020.
In less than 3 days the Second Life effect has kicked in. Playing The Division as a 4 player squad commits you in a different way than any single player game ever could. Firstly, there is the session commitment where it would not good form to quit unexpectedly. Unfortunately, this is often the case if you pay attention to your physical life and a 2-3 hour session is broken in the middle of a mission so you can bath the cat WTF.
Skill level
A strong feeling of ‘must do better’ strokes your ego as you seek to improve your abilities and skills so you can bring a brilliant experience to the team.
Enough is enough
Knowing when to stop as a team without bad feelings is key as well as actually playing with like-minded people. Of course, this just relates to titles where you have full voice chat enabled.
Lost in the crowd
Titles like Star Wars BattleFront give you the mass experience when 20+ players can jump in and out of games without it really getting too personal.
Warping space and time
There’s a real distortion of your physical world and you could easily miss important events like Weddings and such.
Heading back to my safehouses
For now, I’m deleting The Division to focus on more self-paced titles.
I jumped back into Tom Clancy’s The Division after seeing that one of my high talent streamers was in the early ranks. Joining a squad is the best way to succeed in this title and even though I have fairly decent guns and gear it felt like I was being carried up the Dark Zone ranks.
There are so many areas IRL that I need to be carried.
At times the sheer weight of being the decision maker all the time is simply too much. I gladly followed the squad leader into battle and occasionally performed well enough for team mission success. Back IRL I’m using new strategies and staying healthy.

Get off my back, I can’t carry you anymore
