"There are no coincidences, only signs of alignment" - The Karma Yogi Good luck in march my dude! Let us know how it goes!

I most certainly have massive respect for the thought and dedication you are putting into this course of action, that sort of definitive path taking is sorely lacking in so many these days IMHO. Even though I no longer affiliate with any particular religion or faith, I still find great wisdom in so many of the teachings and scriptures, and I hope you won't find it too forward of me to share a passage of scripture that came to mind when I read this. Ecclesiastes 3: 1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: 2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; 3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; 4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; 5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; 6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; 7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; 8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. 9 What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth? 10 I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it. 11 He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end. 12 I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life. 13 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God. I followed a similar course of action when I found myself with a wife and kids, and was in school to better myself for my family, and I did find great value in that time away from some of my familiar past-times. Then I learned an incredibly important lesson; "Self-care is the best sort of care", be it mental, physical, spiritual, or otherwise. Its never "wrong" or selfish to do so. Anyway, I'll end my ramblings there! I Hope you find much fulfillment and knowledge on this path you tread!!

It shall be a glorious New Year with a myriad of fruitful choices!

Echo Chambers are such a destructive force of nature, and can happen so incredibly easy if leadership lets one or two small things slide by the rules, cause that can and will snowball!

Nice, thank you! The style of her blogs got my old ARG senses tingling, cause damn they sure seem like a setup for another Halo ARG for some reason lol.

Unfortunately IPs like The Day Before make it harder to be a legit supporter of an IP /:

Don't underestimate the power and skills of technical writers!

I would be willing to assist with some Portuguese (Brazilian) pieces here and there, as time and opportunity allows me! I lived in Brazil for a couple of years, and became relatively proficient in both spoken and written Portuguese, definitely enough to assist here and there.

Just a heads up, top link appears to be unreachable, and the second link sets off a lot of Chrome and Windows defenders alarm bells. Those two things alone make her a "very interesting character" indeed lol.

An individual of more patience than I!

Nice! Go Beyond, Plus-Ultra!!! I actually got all caught up with the manga after season 6, just a solid series all around.

The perils and dilemmas of the modern major gamer!

We've been spoiled for great games and great anime this year. Incredibly easy to fall behind.

Well thats quite peculiar.

Any forum where "arguing" is synonymous with "discourse", but thats probably the old Debater in me speaking out lol. Other than that, inconsistent rules or moderation can kill things in a hurry in my experience.

The same thing I do most everyday, wake up, clock in, put 10-ish physical hours in at work (4 hours mental maximum these days), then spend an agonizing amount of time deciding which game to play on any given night ha ha ha

I do seem to recall that, during the Microsoft and Activision-Blizzard trial, a cornucopia of documents and internal memos/emails were leaked regarding Microsofts' various opinions about certain titles and platforms (notably Baldurs Gate 3 which they assumed would flop, hence their late release of the game to their console platforms lol). What was striking was the deafening and notable lack regarding anything 343 or Halo related in all of their internal Comms. Almost like Halo had become a mere forethought in the memory of their active and continual IPs of the era. Sadly, I think they had already judged Halo Infinites merit within the year of its release as far as a continual and perpetual revenue/player stream amongst their varying and numerous IPs of the era. But, I am a staunch believer in that any Game publisher or dev can and will often stretch the limits of their good faith and the limits of their maintainable IPs in the pursuit of growth, and Microsoft is at the very outer edges of said limits. They've stretched too far too fast, and in the process are losing sight in so many areas. Its only a matter of time until that bubble bursts imo, perhaps it already has. I mean just look at Infinites support throughout the last 2 years, or the bungled development and launch of Redfall from their Bethesda branch. Anti-trust and anti-competitive behaviors do have their negative and poignant consequences, above and outside the law. Just look at EPICs landmark win against Googles Alleged anti-competitive behaviors for some fickle albeit concrete proof of this! That being said, I believe that many titles will be victim to Microsofts practices, rather than unfortunate benefactors or survivors of it much to our dismay.

Nice! Season 6 had some amazing animation! On par with what we've seen in JJK and One piece this last year. I actually got inpatient and started reading the manga and got all the way caught up there. MHA, much like All-Might, has been deemed a worthy successor to other greats like DBZ, Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece imho. Especially the way they've dealt with classic shonen anime issues like power creep are particularly noteworthy!

I actually decided to cancel my yearly renewal this month, just not enough good content to keep me coming back that consistently. But I'm also not a huge Marvel/Star Wars buff, so your mileage may vary!

Honestly a knife would work so well in firefight, especially as a "last resort" option when you've run out of ammo, and melee just isn't going to be quite enough. Would be a fun mode specific mechanic.

I've long suggested that they need to put a Spartan Shiv in the game, it would really give melee attacks the bump they need.

Apparently in some game modes, like FF it can also be used to Res dead spartans! Thats a fun game changer! Its better than the shroud so far, thats for sure.

Wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft tried to block it or shut it down, not a lot of game devs that are cool with fan games and the like.
