Like Dayum. The fact so many arenโ€™t โ€œHorny on Mainโ€, but more like โ€œDeviant on Mainโ€ is actually kinda alarming; just like the metric Fuck ton of Porn games on Steam which are becoming increasingly difficult to block from showing up in the store when all I want is a damn RPG. ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜  lol

Iโ€™m just shocked how many tether their credit cards to their Steam accounts. ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜ณ

I was just at GameStop (EB Games Canada) and saw a metric Crap ton of them! There is no fear about NOT getting a copy
But the WH40K Horus Heresy figures and the Damn Luxury Ball caught all my attention. Lmfao ๐Ÿคฃ

Caffeine, Nicotine, and Spicy Foods can keep you going temporarily for about 24-48hrs in between med pick ups.
But definitely donโ€™t recommend doing that frequently.

I get headaches from Aspartame, and I canโ€™t stand the taste of those other synthetic sweeteners..
I legitimately drink Pepsi Throwback (Cane Sugar) or Jarritos. Lmfao (the Fruit Punch is amazing!)

Already had a major panic attack this morning after my PC turned on but the Monitor displayed nothingโ€ฆ..
Only to find out the Display Port Cable is just dead. ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ
Here I was worried Iโ€™d need a new Monitor or I fried out my GPU..
Naw, just a cooked Display Cable. ๐Ÿคฃ

I have Lactose intolerance and IBS, my character would have to find an outhouse so incredibly often. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿฝโ€โ™‚๏ธ lmfao

โ€ฆ. That would be an interesting idea for a Creative Game Mode.. when you are in character creator; the game uses your age, height and weight for a Character, and then factor in random character flaws.
Like your knees pop after 35 when you are in stealth. Or have a sneeze fit in a field of Flowers.

I find I have the same issue with Reading in the car; that I do with VR Gaming.
The reading plus movement throws the equilibrium and the inner ear off.
I have to set a Fan up from the South in my gaming space so my brain has some baring of my direction. ๐Ÿ˜‘๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿฝโ€โ™‚๏ธ

This.. this is my issue. Reading in the Car or on transit makes me nauseous; I can cheat a bit and glance at the map; so long as the driver isnโ€™t acting like a maniac. I can sometimes game on flights but that depends on speed and how long we are in the air to get climatized..
I also need Airflow.

I think Iโ€™m more excited about the Xbox team being let loose on the Windows OS and cutting all the useless features we donโ€™t need on a handheld.
Add in a Steam/Epic Games/GoG tab/tabs and thats the one-stop shop for all gaming.

Did you see the announcement for the Xbox/ROG Ally collaboration? The gaming world is starting to heat up again and Iโ€™m actually kinda stoked..

Good games, console colabs, and Windows getting gutted for efficiency. ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿผ๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿผ

As tempting as it is, (growing out a Bush Beard for this coming winter and Hunting Season) I canโ€™t part with it..
Iโ€™ll just trim up the mess around my neck.
That beard-sweat can get nasty.

You can even swap the Peameal Bacon with Fried Bologna and its still good! Add a couple of Sausages as well and youโ€™ll be tootinโ€™ all day long. Lmfao ๐Ÿคฃ

The Album Art and Liner Notes scratch my Music-Tismโ€™; I love reading and seeing the behind the scenes from inside the recording studio and booth.

On Vinyl, because of the side flipping and the strategic breaks in between tracks; while other tracks play seemless gives it the feeling of a Shakespearean play, broken down in to Acts.
Its a totally different feeling and experience

Iโ€™m also gonna use one of our Canadian Bands as an example; some Albums also have a totally different feel compared to their CD/Digital Release Counterparts.
For instance, the album โ€œEver Afterโ€ by Marianas Trench sounds like a regular album on CD on Digital.

There is a magic, a Peace to it that Digital just doesnโ€™t seem to scratch the itch of.

There is a physicality and motion to it. The act of cleaning the record, placing it on the platter and lowering the needle gently and parking your ass back on the couch with some dimly lit table lamps or candles and just Vibing with the music..
No track skipping; just straight playthroughs.

Iโ€™m hunting down some Bad Omens.
I already have โ€œThe Death Of Peace Of Mindโ€ on 33 1/3, but Iโ€™m really hunting down the first album, and โ€œFinding God, Before God Finds Meโ€ on Vinyl.
The albums sound almost better on Vinyl despite not being the primary Format.

My nephew is playing Oblivion:Remastered, and thought he was being a L33T haxker, because he figured out how to duplicate Items in game..
I had to knock him down a peg and tell him that, โ€œthat โ€œGlitchโ€ has been there from the beginning . Myself and others have used it for years.. sit down child.โ€๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿฝโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

That said, all graphics turned to Low, AMDโ€™s FSR Frame Gen turned up. Iโ€™m getting between 60 and 112fps on the highs, and 30fps on the lows.. still runs and looks gorgeous despite being shy of recommended specs.
The ROG Ally Z1E has a surprising amount of Punch to it. ๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿผ๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿผ

The full upgrade. Same hardware as before, just alot prettier. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ Iโ€™ve named her โ€œBlackheartโ€ after a song by a Canadian Artist (because all my hardware is black, in a white case. โ€œBlack Black Heartโ€ ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ‘€ lmfao)

So I just did an overhaul on my Battlestation in the last week; and Iโ€™m proud of the work I did given Iโ€™m relearning everything. I upgraded the case, PSU, and added an AIO.
Honestly pretty happy about the outcome. It Posted on First go; and runs better than ever.
Her name is now โ€œBlackheartโ€
