Random Thoughts - Part Deux [NO POLITICS]

I don't know why but the only arcade game that ever caught my interest was Tempest.

Ahh... the old days of fighting game. I was good at street fighter II and mortal kombat. Miss the days of skippin gym class ( teacher did not give a fuck cuz i was on the team of basketball that time)

MAME is where it's at. I used to just play King of Fighter with it though, iirc '99-'03. I was never any good at it but it was fun.

Watched a few YouTube videos by Anita Sarkeesian tonight. I forgot how much of an absolute piece of shit she is.

Edit: actually start stretching after your workouts every time. Just get in the habit now and it won't be a pain to pick up later. Especially your hamstrings and glutes if you plan on squatting in the future

Thanks! I already feel much better just getting off my ass and moving around.

In the mean time (at least till I get a more normal schedule job), have to figure out how I'm going to get swol time in when I'm on rotation. Probably going to have to cut an hour out of sleep, go to gym and lift for 1 hour, head back home for shower, then go to work. I love sleep

She still around? Last time I watched any of that shit was about 2-3 years back.

She ever finish that video game project or w/e she was doing? Recall her accepting (and receiving) a good sum of donations from her followers. Thunderfoot called her out on it

You mean the nearly $160k go fund me? Yeah, she started Feminist Frequency. It's hilariously cherry picked data/game clips. Things like in Hitman when you're in the strip club. How at one point, there's a bit of a fork in the path. You can go left, and come Near the strippers (you don't need to kill them, they won't notice you if you don't approach them) or go right, and have to take out a security guard. Short of the long, she only shows a clip of a player attacking the strippers, and not playing as the game wants you to, you know, like stealthy and not making unnecessary kills.

That's ok, I'm watching some counter argument videos to her series. You know how she's always like "I've been playing VGs all my life, I love them"? Well, one of the channels found a video of her from 2010, which is shortly before her come up, where she says "I don't know anything about video games and I don't like them".

Which, by her standards are enough to condemn her. However, it's a different viewpoint than what she sees, so it's more than likely actually just harassment to bring that up.

Yeah, it sucks.
I usually have to cut an hour of sleep if I don't find time during shift to go to the gym.
