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.

Hamilton Level [Completed]
I literally ignored the Broadway play, Hamilton, when it hit London 19 months ago.
I had a clue about what this Hip Hop Opera would be like and the blend of US History into a Rap musical with its reputation of selling out at £100 a ticket every night was very intriguing.
Could it really be that good?
Best Birthday present EVER
From the opening curtain, I was captivated by the songs, the set, the laughs, the costumes, the romantic bits and the tragedy. By the 46th song, my hands were swollen from clapping so hard. Sheer musical genius and a brilliant London Theatre night out. The USA history sent me back to my times living in Washington DC, I honestly didn’t see myself being back in Europe but it just wasn’t meant to be. If you can’t make it in DC during the Obama Years then it’s time just to be a tourist.
Completing Hamilton in Co-op mode was a high-end pleasure so now I treat myself by re-living the night with the soundtrack. At the same time, I solo killed my final Hunter for The Division Phoenix Shield. Took multiple 1-hour attempts and then I finally cornered the bastard thanks to the Global Event modifier and a crafted Custom M44 rifle with a 12x scope.
SONY is scamming gamers on refunds!
From a customer point of view, downloadable content that is unusable for ANY reason should be refunded. Sony USA customer support [+1 800 345 7999] declined my request to use The Division’s Survival DLC ($14.99) on my US account because I have a UK disk.
Fuck you Sony…..Regional lock is a total scam for global gamers.
So here is the consideration….do I go for the download version of Division 2 or a UK Disk?
Also, it shows that the motherfuckers track everything gamers are doing. I made the same mistake a few months ago and actually got a refund.
My bad.
On the plus side, I did actually get to speak to a human being and being a frugal gamer it didn’t break the budget just annoyed the hell out of me on principle.
So I accepted the loss and promptly purchased the DLC from my UK PSN account with the goal of actually using it on my US account…
How did that work out for ya?
2.758GB, 25 minutes and £11.99 later….it worked
Ethical justice
Aiding and abetting is a standard crime in the physical world. The message is being pushed out strongly to Malware authors that if your tools are used in a crime you will be prosecuted. Security researchers face the same challenge but abide to ethical standards.
