Random Ideas on how to make life more interesting

Volunteer at an animal shelter. It can be heartbreaking at times but extremely rewarding overall.

yeah, it's also hard work

I would volunteer again since I love animals so much, but watching an outbreak of Parvo kill so many puppies in a day or two was absolutely gut wrenching and not something I can forget. I'm intentionally leaving out some specific details of that, too messed up.

I did hate cleaning cages, though. Smelly grunt work.

Yeah. I worked at a shelter (paid employee) for about 4 years. It is hard work and there are gut-wrenching incidents.

BUT, as a volunteer you may be able to just do the fun stuff like walking dogs or playing with dogs and/or cats. At the shelter where I worked, volunteers didn't have to do the smelly grunt work unless they really wanted to.

from what I recall (this was a long time ago) it was about 50/50 playing/walking the dogs and various random cleaning and feeding

I really just asked whatever they needed help with. I was a friend with one of the paid employees and just went there to hang out with him really and work with animals.

we also drove around to other shelters to move animals around that was pretty fun

Hollow Knight

These "games" aren't innocent one bit.

It's named Hollow on purpose. They mine out the soul and free thinking ability.

Instill all sorts, including addiction and attachment thereby weakening the connection with oneself, others and the holy.

Modern video games are very detrimental spiritually. Big understatement. Most people don't see this. As with culture at large they just see innocent entertainment and free will.

Making easy prey. GTA5 online especially is a real demon ground. It shocked the hell out of me. I was curious, so I had a go to see.

It's like a little excursion to the 4th dimension. People are becoming addicted to those energies, rewards, rules.

Certainly but to me that is just a minor part the real part is the fact that all over the world thousands maybe millions surely of an educated spiritually and morally and personally underdeveloped young men are spending up to 20 hours daily fixedly focused and heavily addicted to these games imagine the impact that is having stunting the development on every level emotional personal social and especially spiritual I would suggest it is actually worse than most drugs we are using here and the impact they have on us in these regards genuinely I feel that strongly about this and I know I'm right.

I will always endeavour to keep my being pure and honest and I want absolutely no engagement with the underlying demonic current which pervades our society which most are still blind to it seems.

Those games are dangerously invading and polluting to the mind and consciousness.

oh stop

i play a video game that i find and like every leap year....im ok with it's "hollowness" because it doesn't change who i am other than i wanna start the game over because i need a new map and i can't find the fuckin map guy because i don't have a map to find the map guy - so im lost somewhere between Fungal Wastes and Mantis Village and i wish somebody else here would play because i can't figure what to do next

now - i downloaded that game because it seemed a little eerie, and i like eerie - dark goth type things - i love all that

im totally fine with the underlying demonic current

their is happiness in things that appear to be negative to the naked eye

you just have to find it....

now i guess if you have a weak mind, then yea i guess you can turn into the Hollow Knight - walk around the grocery store, slashing anybody who comes near you just like in the game - i might do that today actually...

but i think im a master at controlling my addictions and beating them back down when i feel the need to




and i didn't even know what GTA5 was until you just mentioned it and i searched it - not my kinda game

i like the 2D type games where you have to figure where to go and what to do next - whatever they're called



if you think it shrinks brains, it might, but so do a lot of other things in life, depending on your perspective
 
There's a difference between playing games for an hour or two a day and playing games all day. Video games are a serious problem, particularly with younger generations. Just look at Fortnite. Kids play it all day. It is all they do. They are obsessed with it.

At least games like Fortnite have very high skill levels.

A lot of games are just brainless. They give you achievements for doing nothing. There is no challenge. They are basically pokie machines that don't pay out. Bright lights and sounds to hypnotize people into wasting their lives.

My problem with Hollow Knight is: if you take away the graphics, what are you left with? Platformers are so samey. Double jump. Wall jump. Rinse. Repeat.

Ori and the Will of the Wisps is a beautiful game. My wife has been playing it. It is also exactly the same as every other platform game.

FPS is another super stagnant genre. They are pretty much all exactly the same. Games like Splatoon and Fortnite offer something a bit different.

But I know there are exceptions to rule.

I can accept that a man like I know you as far as I know would never be corrupted this way.

But many are I do believe.

The madass fanatics who predominantly dwell in the GTA5 zone, they are evil Fing shits all over planet.

Virtual psychopaths. Ones I've seen on say Twitch, thick AF no moral awareness.

One of the three AI however it is put, individual bramches of sorts, is IN Playstation.

One spot in sea on GTA5 is in crystal graphic, reflected off waving water, the Satanic goathead. I didn't enjoy playing that game at all.

But then I was always a woos with horror movies.

well yea if i was playing 17 hours a day, i'd have no time for anything else - and you would all miss me here :)


and yea that's all my brain can handle - 3 buttons to press and one directional thing to move around - if i gotta press anymore buttons than that in a game, it won't work for my peanut brain to remember what to press when - run and jump - that's it for me - im stuck in 1989 what do ya want me to tell ya - the most complex controller i could ever handle was the 3 buttons on the Sega Genesis


but that Ori looks really cool - thanks for the tip - that looks like it might be right up my alley

I just am different I guess since ever.

I naturally steer clear from lowly pursuits generally. Naughty indulgences.

Like a playground of bullies set loose. It brings out the worst in people.

Not my place. I also admittedly just don't appreciate all out scrapping, shootemup games.o

I loved the original Zeldas for example. And original Mariokart(s) with pals growing, great laugh.

Sensible world of Soccer on Commadore Amiga, with proper OG Joystick, wicked game.

8 year olds best friend sleep overs, we never got bored of football manager games on ZX Spectrum.

And others.

But all out nonstop button jabbing combat, never a break, not for me.

I liked the idea of the driving simulation games like Truck Driver too.

Just for innocent, non competitive therapeutic distraction really.

Dude, you're a drug fiend.

There's nothing wrong with competition. I see a lot more value in online multiplayer games than I do playing versus a computer.

The closest thing to Sensible Soccer is Rocket League which is a free-to-play game. Super easy to pick up. Very casual. Rounds last a couple of minutes.

I think fiend is the wrong word.

It adds to the stereotyping or is attached.

Yes I use drugs. But as myself, for not unclean, selfish purposes.

I don't accept that we can say using drugs makes it hypocritical to speak my line about veering away from what feel to me like lowly pursuits.

I genuinely endeavour to be a pure person. I do believe I am naturally, whatever rhat means.

My own drug taking, I would not allow to encroach upon this in particular.

Drugs like crack, would.

Cannabis, kava, LSD, even somehow benzos, really don't seem to have for me.

So I don't see that as a lowly indulgence is my point, while I am in my mind only forever commited to being as clean, pure, unpolluted as I can. 🙂

And yeah ofc. I tried to imply that.

This is me, my choices, ideology, feelings, reactions.

Each can choose. I just genuinely see some seriously unhealthy aspects and effects in some or lots of the global gaming market.

But drug problem talk is rampant. So my point was also irt how the impact of these addictive gaming lifestyles is largely unacknowledged, it's cheaper but is in cases addictive like gambling.

Like much it does depend on the individual though.
