Keyboard Therapy

12/21/2022

Another day closer to the weekend. This is a special weekend. Special week. The holdiays are special. Some celebrate a specific religious event. Some have annual festivities. One thing is for sure; you reflect upon the year gone by; upon your past and how far you've come. Maybe you think about where you're going--the path you want to take. Or perhaps you're just thankful for making it through another year. You see family and friends--eat and drink. Things get a bit mellow. For some it doesn't. Don't forget that. But relax and try to enjoy life. You are in it now, here, in this moment. If you're thinking about it while reading this, then thank you. I've shared something. As I've said before, this blog is a sort of experiment. A social media outlet, without all the garbage. A dump of thoughts. A review site. Maybe some stories. Maybe game/movie reviews. It's random.

 

Random.

 

Which gets me to another thing I've been thinking about a lot lately. My YouTube channels. I've been wanting to put up videos, but just haven't been feeling it. I can put something up, but it is (at least to me) better when I feel it. I admit, there are improvisations that take place, but overall, you have to feel it. Oh, and I can't forget trying to make this into a sort of video platform. Haha

 

The thing that sparks my thought is my use of the word "random". That is my other YouTube channels name. Random Will. It's an invitation for me to do whatever, randomly, sort of like this blog, and the name is supposed to have a few meanings. It's random, plus I'm random, thus Random Will, and having random will. The word, not name. Double meaning. One definition is: the faculty by which a person decides on and initiates action. I'm pleased with the name. Thought on it for a bit. Even my game YouTube channel has all that good stuff. Got Game Will Play. So, you can say, like the milk slogan "Got Milk". And if you have it, a game I mean, I will play. But I'm also Will. Or like that food show/blog/whatever "Got Food Will Travel". No, fork. Yeah. "Have Fork Will Travel." Except I'm Will. Yeah, that. So... I don't have much up on that channel, either.

 

I did another sort of jump during the virus thing into playing Uncharted, the first game in the series. It wasn't the best quality. It was ok. I streamed through Playstation's Remote Play thing, and caught it with OBS. I told myself if it took off I'd buy the capture thing. I don't have a capture thing... Haha.

 

I played COD a bit, too, on it. Recorded it. That was fun. I have to get back into that. Something. I don't even play games anymore. I used to enjoy them. They were an escape. Now I have to escape to play them.

 

Same with creating. And I had wanted to do this little thing called writing, too. There's that.

 

I guess what I'm hoping is this blog will create a spark that I can blow on and make catch on some kindling and voila. Guess time will tell. Sometimes hitting the keys is therapeutic, though.

The Brightest Flame

Image
The brightest flame burns quickest. Or like Lao Tzu said originally "The flame that burns twice as bright burns half as long."  Sounds about right. You push too hard and you burn out. There you go. Burn. Candles.  Get it?  Well, it's true. Pushing yourself to achieve a goal is a good thing, but to over exert one's self is not.  It's not only disaster that can take place, but total burn out--and then it's just not as fun.  A little extra work never killed anyone, until you take it too far, you neglect your family, life.  Yes, you're doing more, but now your spouse despises you. Your kids don't know you, and you may be getting sick.  Now it's too late. You've gone and pushed yourself to the limits. And in the interim you've neglected a lot of things. Probably even your health.  Now you're sick, about to cash in your ticket. And you look around. What did it get you?  Your kids are grown a bit, maybe spouse left you. You

The Local Spirit Halloween Store Popped Up Again

Image
I recently stopped into a Spirit Halloween store to check on something Halloween  related and it was all decked out with ghoulish goodness. The year has gone by fast, and it fast-forwarded to the best time of the year in my opinion. The leaves change color, a chill in the air. The holidays are just around the corner.  Take it slow. Try to savor these moments. And if your time of the year is summer, try to savor that, too. When you can.  This Spirit store usually rents the space out annually. Back in 1999, Spencer Gifts acquired Spirit Halloween. Spencer Gifts is a novelty store that you can find in a lot of malls. They do mail order and have those nifty gadgets and gifts you can't find just anywhere. I always used to remember them for posters, musician t-shirts, and lava lamps.  There are some great decorations at Spirit. I always love how freaky these things are. What they represent. Old horror tropes and stories that take shape in the screwed-up, twisted faces on the frightful la

Dying Light -- Will's Nintendo Switch Review

Image
It's been quite a while since I last immersed myself in the world of Dying Light. I originally played this gem on the PS4. There's a special place in my heart for the horror genre. As there is for video games. Both are a great escape from the insanity that is life. And horror brings you to the realization that sometimes life can be just that. Horrific.  Here enters Dying Light on the Switch.   As the sequel to this franchise has recently debuted on next-gen systems, its predecessor was released on the Switch not too long ago. Say what you will about Nintendo's system, to play these blockbuster games natively on a portable, and not through Playstation's remote play, is an amazing feat. I remember playing Dying Light on my Vita through Remote Play, and of course there was a hit in the graphics and frame rate department, so this looks leaps and bounds better than that experience--which was still great even for what it was. Everything I remember is here, and I could be wron
