Don’t hate the player

Months of self-denied game play has served nothing more than creating a mild ting of animosity towards my haters. Well, the term haters is a bit harsh as they are very close individuals to me.

The promise of Tom Clancy’s The Division® 2 DLC 2025 has lured me back to the game and this time the temptation is to return to Brooklyn itself.

Back to the beginning.

PS5 has been dusted off, updated, base game installed and ready for DLC – May 27th 2025.

Tom Clancy’s The Division® 2 wonder if my Eagle Bearer is still in my stash.

Back in Stride again, again

“Normal” operations have resumed and my thoughts turn to aspirations. Why do I hold back? How much is enough? £100k, £500k, £2million? What would make a difference and what is the real cost.

Grinding through the original Mafia game reveals the typical climbing up the ladder story which for the most part is one way littered with compromises and regrets.

Is happiness better as a Low Level or a GodFather?

Everything that has a beginning…

I seldom have an exit strategy, it just creeps on me and I find myself staring at a life milestone.

Still need to craft my Last Will. I don’t feel good, I don’t feel down, I don’t feel up. I feel disappointed.

I feel disappointed.
I feel disappointed.
I feel disappointed.
I feel disappointed.
I feel disappointed.
I feel disappointed.
I feel disappointed.
I feel disappointed.
I feel disappointed.
I feel disappointed.
I feel disappointed.
I feel disappointed.

..time to let go.

Chapter 1: Acknowledging the Starting Point

Every journey begins with acknowledging where you are

I was fairly self aware but today I faced up to my obesity and hit the gym for the first time in months. My first steps included confronting my poor eating and sleeping habits, lifestyle, and mindset of denial.

Several things have led to my weight gain in ’23

  • Working and snacking at home constantly
  • Comfort eating to escape unhappiness
  • No regular exercise guilted out of solo training
Looking forward to good things in 2024….Keep on trucking.

Of course, MG raised up and punished me with chronic fatigue after the workout.

How to influence the RNG (Random Number Generator)

Success is not accidental, I’m not cheating just increasing my chances of winning.

Yes, granted everyone needs their share of good luck and systemic bias in their favour but my success has never been down to pure luck and I take offence to suggestions from others who base their current state on bad luck.

Somewhere, somehow, you fucked up and this is where you find yourself so don’t blame bad luck.

Realise that where you are today is because of what you did or did not do yesterday.
