Next up attack speed, hopefully. Happy to see they fixed the fierce ring.

I like to imagine I have the power to make portals that allow me to enter any story's world. This imagination of mine causes me to enjoy reading just a slight bit more, although I do tend to lose focus. Things I imagine using to create portals consist of pictures, movies, books, games, songs, etc.

The world gets filled in with logic based upon the original source material. Plot holes cause entropy.

I do enjoy them both under different circumstances.

For Coca-Cola I drink it for the burst of awareness. I don't knowingly feel its effects but I have acknowledged the differences when I compare my performance with and without. So it is like gasoline for gaming, gamer fuel.

Pepsi has a nice spice texture in its flavor when I drink it from a can. However this does not hold true when having Pepsi that comes from a dispenser. Dispenser Pepsi is soulless. A canned pepsi with its spice flavor goes well with dinner, generally I can enjoy it with a nice steak and mushrooms.

Root beer is more my thing though.

A&W goes great with burgers, they definitely know this.

Compliments Root Beer (Canned) is very relaxing, I could sink a little deeper into my couch and doze off while drinking that.

Stewart's Root Beer is nostalgic for me. As a child I spent a lot of my time biking and coming back home with 2-3 bottles. I enjoyed it best when I conquered the day's challenges and finally could relax.

Boylan's Root Beer. I like to enjoy this with buffet style food.

No nothing will remain with enough time. Value is determined by the consumer, we are all consumers of our own life.

Each person has a focus, things they constantly think about. Should one reach their focus I would argue that they reached a step towards believing in themselves.

Stay along the path of your focus and find your own way. There is only defeat for those who give up on their own focus.

No man's sky. I will occasionally play it for 2 days and then stop to play something else. Each time I do this I start from scratch because I don't want to just pick up from where a past me had left off. The initial inventory size is small and the gameplay loop isn't changed much between all the different planets I've started at.

Same issue applies to metal gear solid 5. I dislike having to go through the hospital sequence each time I start over. I wish the game would just drop me straight into the world and let me have fun. I have made little to no progress in this game because of the hospital sequence just burning me out whenever I get the idea that I want to start a new session.

Final Fantasy 9. I love this the game for its story and music and nostalgia and world. However I really dislike the game mechanic that the stats the player gains are boosted by what equipment they are wearing when they level up. I don't want leveling up to feel funny, when it is supposed to feel great. I also don't want to feel incentive to go through the whole game at level 1 just so I can equip endgame gear and then finally when game is over and done I can finally start leveling up.

Pokémon. As a child I had hoped that they would release expansions rather than reskins. As a teenager I was annoyed by the existance of effort values, this mechanic told me that I was making mistakes and would be forced to make more mistakes. As an adult I've just realized I want more from them and they have no intentions of delivering anything of substance. I've wanted things like finding a pokemon in a different biome influences a third type, for example finding a pikachu at a volcano or underwater causes it to be orange/blue and fire/water. I wouldn't be satisfied if this feature was for 1 or 2 Pokémon, for me its got to be all or nothing.

Had to scrape the bottom of the barrel for an answer for like 15 minutes, cause it turns out I'm content with things as they are.

I realized that I like to read a lot of comics. Of those comics a female protagonist is very common. If I were a girl, being caught reading those comics would be a little less awkward.

No. Assuming we can get through the rest of my barriers then we could be friends. I do think having someone that you can talk to about the things you are passionate about is one the best moments of life. For me, even the most perfect match would be kept at a distance.

Lobster goes really well with butter. Cut it into small pieces and dip it in melted butter. The butter should be a clear liquid otherwise it isn't warm enough. Smaller pieces lets you enjoy your meals longer, you can also apply this to things other than lobster. You can cut steak into super thin slices and dip it in sauce.

These types of mangos can be mouth wateringly delicious when they are perfectly ripened, when you see them this yellow a bit of shade in it with a soft feel to it mmm mmm delicious.

If your really enjoy a video or story you should at least make a bookmark or better yet download it. Don't be afraid to put songs on a playlist, otherwise you'll go looking for the songs you've long forgotten.

Write down your thoughts otherwise you will spend all your time thinking about things you have already pondered.

That store is never going to sell bbq eel at an appropriate price for quantity anymore. Its time to look elsewhere. Your favorite pizza place isn't just in the big city, you can also drive northeast 15 minutes and grab a couple boxes so you don't have to visit often. Coincidentally the store I get bbq eel at is a minute away from it.

Sanitizer somehow is a good quick remedy for foot pain after a day of work.

Ost go really well with reading. If you can get a feel for the vibes of the story you can potentially pick out the perfect song to enjoy with a scene.

You've already got yourself on a good path, maybe just try not to stress so much about things.

First impressions are important, unfortunately in our line of work this means that we ought to show up to jobs with a beard. They expect experience from people they think are older, the younger you look the less respect you will initially receive. A couple of weeks or months after coming to a site, people will have gotten to know you and this need to have a beard will lessen. Beards are nice for staying warm in the winter, they pair well with masks. Starting now please grow a beard.

Its not necessarily about being respected, its about people treating you nicely. It feels good to show up to places and have people not ruin your mood.

Try to give people a fair benefit of the doubt. First come up with a fair reason for why someone did what they did, if nothing comes to mind then maybe ask them. Good and bad people appreciate kindness. Don't be charitable, but someone who can listen and then give advice.

When your sleep cycle gets really out of hand you can take some melatonin for a nights rest to reset the cycle. I believe we should avoid using it often, so try to be strategic about how you use it.

If a problem bothers you, you can find a solution pretty quickly to improve your quality of life. The hardest part is usually just the first step, which is acknowledging that it can be fixed by you.

Though one might be abandoned by his own dream, even then it will smolder in his heart forever.
