I do martial arts.

In martial arts, sometimes we spar.

We sparred.

I got a lot of solid leg kicks (at 30%-40% power).

The other guy took exception to this, got mad, and hit me with a 100% haymaker (you are only supposed to go around 30%).

I ate the haymaker and almost got knocked out. I got a nice shiner to show for it.

I used to hate my appearance growing up, and it wasn't until relatively recently that I grew into my skin.

Now, if I put in any effort, work with my hair, and trim my beard, I look presentable enough that I consider myself to be decent looking.

Basically I've gone from being a 3-4 to being a 6-7 in my own eyes. Which is all I really wanted growing up, so I can't complain.

I'll join it for no real reason, costs me nothing, and I already use Discord for my own community (Delayed Legacy Productions, my Youtube channel/etc), so I may as well.

Maybe I'll see people around, but I'm not a heavy chatter.

I actually recently played AC4, because I'm trucking through my backlog, and decided to hit all the AC games I haven't played yet.

Finished Revelations, 3, Black Flag, and Freedom Cry in the past half year, and plan on hitting Rogue at some point in the next few months.

Once I finish Rogue, there's just Unity, Syndicate, and Origins...

-----

My current game is NBA 2k18, though. I've been putting a lot of hours into MyGM (while they patch MyLeague bugs) so I can get VC (damn virtual currency) for my MyPlayer, so he stops shooting bricks every time, and make the mode playable.

I just finished the story mode for it (story mode in a franchise. What a time to be alive), and it was pretty annoying. Being given constant orders, having a key player of my would-be championship team traded for a fucking fourth-string center, just because of "stats" pissed me off and almost made me turn it off completely.

Lost in the Conference Finals 4-2. The main reason was a lack of depth at small forward (the position that the "key player" was) and abundance of centers.

Basic basketball knowledge for anybody who knows nothing of sports - it is very hard to play 4 centers at two positions over a period of 48 minutes, and even harder when that other position has 3 players at it that are just as deserving of time. At some point there's just diminishing returns, and the stamina trade off just isn't worth it.

Also, it is legitimately a bad idea to have a single player play almost all 48 minutes of a game, which is exactly what happened every single game until he got injured, because our crapass owner traded the only other small forward on the roster (generally these are the athletic wings responsible for fast break scores, meaning they run up and down the court a LOT and drain a LOT of energy - literally the worst position to only have 1 or 2 players at). Would have loved to have money to sign a player to a minimum deal, but dropping the player I would have dropped would have caused my owner to have a hissy fit, and probably get me fired. So hooray for automatically losing because of shitty rosters.

It's all good though. Because in the off-season I got promoted, my owner sold the team, and I'm given the reigns to determine how to construct a roster. With my other moves (besides the stupid trade I had no say on) panning out, I ended up being able to sign two super stars to maximum contracts (Kevin Durant and DeMarcus Cousins), while also being able to use my draft picks creatively to get TWO top 3 picks (who, according to information I learned yesterday, have insane growth stats, and will legitimately be game breaking LeBron James/Russell Westbrook level freaks in less than two years).

Essentially, my team in two seasons is going to be

PG - Cheap, younger, better shooting version of Russell Westbrook
SG - Seth Curry (because even though he's not Steph Curry, he's hella good at shooting the ball, especially from 3 point range)
SF - Cheap, younger, 6'10" LeBron James, with a 95 3 point rating, and the most ridiculous athleticism I've ever seen in a video game character.
PF - Kevin Durant (who in my current offensive system is essentially a catch and shoot player who will snag many a corner three, while having the ability to drive for an easy bucket against much bigger and bulkier PFs)
C - DeMarcus Cousins (Who will virtually never get to shoot the ball, since I play a perimeter style of game, but will block a ton of shots and be an intense rebounder inside, which is vital).

Add in my surprising depth (I have a lot of cheap guys in the mid 70s with complementary styles who can rest my other guys), and I'm in an insane position to win championship after championship.

tl;dr - I'm out Warriorsing the Warriors, while stealing Kevin Durant from them.

True story: I was eating lunch with my clients a few days ago when an air raid siren went off in the area. I just stared into the middle distance, heart racing, very sure that we'd been nuked and I was about to die.

I pulled out my phone and texted Bran that I loved him. He texted back an animated gif of a corgi twerking with a heart on its fluffy butt.


With the high anxiety that I feel almost constantly these days, paying any attention to this ongoing saga of shitty international relations is just making it worse.


What was the air-raid siren for, if not for us being nuked? Legitimately curious now.

As for me...

I'm just living my life, knowing nothing I do is going to likely have any effect on whether we go to war or not.

And if everything does fall apart? Well, it was a good run. I understand the anxiety and fear, and all of that. I definitely don't want to experience dying this soon.

But I also know that all things fall eventually. We just don't know the day or the hour.

I don't know if I'm cynical, just viewing it nihilistically, or what, but I treasure each day I'm alive at this point, because it's possible tomorrow is the end, for real.

I don't blame you legacyme3. I got more into politics over the last year or two (like everyone, maybe I'm riding the phase too!), but I honestly tend to think off and on it was a mistake and I should just go back to being ignorant and just caring about my own life and interactions. I was happier and gave no energy or time into these situations and issues I ultimately can't really do much about. There will always be monsters out there.
(not saying you're being ignorant though, hope that makes sense!)


No, I definitely get what you are saying, so have no fear! To an extent, I'm somewhat ignorant, but I'm mostly apathetic.

I stay up to date on world news, enough to know I have reason to be afraid, and enough to know that we probably made a mistake last November, but not enough to say I'm deeply into the world of politics.

I'm a lot happier as a result, because nothing I do in that arena is going to lead to anything of value for me. I've said my piece, I've left my votes, and I have spoken with several people about how I feel.

But I live in Southern California, a state that is already ridiculously liberal. My vote means next to nothing, simply because I don't live in Florida or another "battleground" state.

Politically, I am uninterested, because I know my vote means nothing. I do think voter apathy (and politics apathy!) is a real thing, and it can't be averted. I do think a good way to get people to care more is to have their vote mean something. If my vote meant as much as a vote in Florida, maybe I'd be more inclined to care, and sacrifice personal happiness.

I just don't see the value in sacrificing personal happiness, in the name of adding to the California dog-pile that will count for the same, regardless of whether or not I vote, care, or show interest.

Local politics are far more important, and I enjoy taking part in those, because it feels like the voice the individual has, matters.

I hate feeling apathetic about world matters, but it's just a zero-win game for someone who has no say, so I generally think it's healthier to distance one's self, and focus on things you enjoy. I don't know your situation, but I would always advise having a little more fun, particularly if we are nearing so called "end days"

I live close enough to L.A. (and work A LOT closer), a possible target, that the whole conflict is constantly simmering on a back burner in my mind. I try to not think about it, especially since I have so much else going on in my life that's causing massive amounts of anxiety.



I live about 50 miles from LA, so while I'm not "right on the target", it definitely spooks me that LA is a target. Because 50 miles isn't really that far away when you are talking about nuclear missiles.

Probably a bit safer than you are, but still nervous.

That is a tough call. I would probably say that Archer wins with Rick and Morty as a close second... mostly because I think Archer has better animation and I just love the voice actors they have.

Provided that it would be done well, what video game would you want to see turned into a movie/miniseries?


Personally, Final Fantasy. I almost went with Uncharted, but I think a Final Fantasy anime (a season for every installment) would be pretty neat. Like they have one for XV, but that's it, I think?

On a scale of 1-10, how annoying do you find it when Windows updates break everything on your computer and force you to rollback the update, fill up your PC with crap you'll never use, just so there's not enough room for the update to install in the future, and pray to god it goes away?

Er, none really, unless we want to count Discord as social media? I barely use my Instagram, and I use Twitter here and there during baseball season because it's a great way to get news, and my Facebook has been accumulating dust lately... I at least use Discord every day.

Head, shoulders, knees, or toes?

Feel kind of led on. Like someone took advantage of my insecurities and unhappiness in my relationship.

I wasn't terribly unhappy, but now I am because they sort of opened my eyes.

Then they sort of left me high and dry.

So now I'm depressed, trying to figure out if I can just power through this and hope things will be ok in the future.

This is what I get for trusting legit anyone. It never ends well. I'm just going to keep my heart rock solid and tell anyone who tries to get near it to fuck off.

So, the first person in my life to reach out to me over my absence (long story short, I cut myself off from most everybody) is someone who I wasn't even sure cared about my existence, so that was really neat.

I got hammered last night.

Girlfriend wasn't too pleased, but it was one of my best friend's birthday party, and we had lots of fun drinking games to play and only so much time to do it all.

I love the rage cage.

You can only have ones, dreams or safety.

If you take dreams, there's more risk, certainly, but you will be far happier than if you took the safe route in this scenario. If it fails, you've pretty much got nothing though, and are likely not going to be very happy lol.

If you take safety, you will still be relatively happy, and able to care for yourself with certainty, but you may wonder what may have been.

I'm terrible at just letting good things stay good.

And so usually things just fall to shit.

Update:

Life is great! So here's another fun fact about me:

I might believe in God now? I'm not sure.

I was having an awful day, truly awful. It looked like my relationship was ending, and my entire life was being thrown into chaos. So I went down to the basketball courts near my house. It's like 8:30 PM, and there's not a soul on the court besides me. I'm missing all of my shots, because I'm so distracted and out of practice, and just all around, having a rough time, even on the court.

Everything is frustrating me a ton, and I had no friends or family to really turn to, and I was about to lose the person most important to me.

So I got down on my knees and prayed. Something I haven't done since I was like 10. I lost my faith around the age of 14, I think, but that's not too important.

Anyway, I got down and prayed for a solid 10 minutes or so, trying to have this deep conversation with someone I wasn't sure existed, or cared, or what. It was just a last ditch thing that I thought was totally rational in this situation.

Amazingly, after I finished praying, I went back and took a shot I never, ever make, even when I was really good back in high school, I'd never make the shot, because it was simply not one I could logically process the angle on.

It went in, swish, perfectly. I could not have shot it better if I had tried.

As I'm walking over to fetch my ball from directly underneath the basket, I see my phone vibrating, as I got a message. The message was from my girlfriend, apologizing for everything we had been fighting about (long story short, my life goal is to have kids, and she doesn't want them, so it prompted a huge fight between us - we've been dating for three years). She'd even come around a bit, and we'd come to an understanding and compromise, something I thought would be impossible.

This all seemed like too much of a coincidence for me. I went from having a bleak outlook on life, missing even easy shots I could hit in my sleep, and an utter collapse of everything I had come to know over the past three years, and in a span of about 10 seconds, the entire thing turned around.

The timing was just too great. I had so many chills in the moment, and I felt very unalone at that moment. I was kind of scared, but not in a way that felt unwelcome.

I don't know what happened, but it was a sort of miracle of some kind. I didn't think one could ever possibly happen to me.
