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.

120mg today.

I miss Chicken

Meal planning is on the list of  ‘things I need to do better’.  Since July 2016, my unbalanced lifestyle has disintegrated into setting for junk food convenience every 48 hours.

My upper body needs lots of work but generally, health is OK.

No aches and pains, no medication and no eyelid weakness…feeling good.  For months I haven’t been able to work Chicken into my meal plans amazingly because of both financial and logistic reasons.

New Chapter

Time for a fresh new cupboard, new kitchen ingredients and proactive meal planning.  Also, it would be good to build up a small wine collection again.

It’s important to me and my well-being.

My wannabe hobbies outside Gaming and Tech

Cooking
Wine collecting
Cologne collecting
Photography
Body toning
Meditation
Spa treatments
Live Jazz and dining out

Things I’d like to learn

How to ride a bike
How to swim properly

Lately, it’s more like I’m just existing rather than living.  Eating to stay alive as opposed to savouring the flavours and textures.

Time to smell the Roses again.  It would be good find a Church I’m comfortable with but that’s a real long shot 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.

An engineering approach to Winter

I handled this Winter season badly this year, took too much for granted and romanced past good years.

A mix of poor wardrobe storage, low-cost old clothing and a massive lack of inspiration. This triggered a pretty continuous wave of low-level depression.

No car meant I had no personal winter travel bubble with my Jazz, was seriously limited to public transportation routes and always exposed to the elements.

Uncertain living conditions meant I was never truly confident with buying anything major as I may have to up sticks and move.

Not gonna reply on sentimental data

So I am determined to make 2018 Winter Season a happier one.

More of London, more Florida.

This is all gonna take more resources mainly time and money.
