TN takedown maybe? They do get weird about their stuff from time to time.

I played through it once after they fixed the PM. I quite like the story and the visuals, especially in some of the spirit designs. Agree about the gameplay though. It can be a little cumbersome.

11.) One day I’d like to get to Japan. The only problem is that I’m not a fan of flying. At all. The thought of being what’s basically a high speed death tube way way up in the sky for close to 18 hours is just not something I think I can handle. Not without a metric fuckton of whiskey anyway.

10.) I don’t speak any other languages, but if I did it would either be German or Dutch. German because you can talk about flowers and sound like you want to rip someone’s head off. Dutch because it’s a fever dream of a language and some of the translations are funny as hell.

9.) Perfect date would be the first date I had with my wife. We talked music for hours, ate at this nice restaurant in a little riverside town. It was snowing and we were across from the station for a Christmas train. Santa gave us a wave. We walked around until we got a little lost. Best day ever.

8.) You’d probably have to ask my wife this one. I’m admittedly my own worst critic and it’s virtually impossible for me to compliment myself. Always makes me feel like I have an overinflated ego or something.

7.) Outside of VP, I have a love for art, though I don’t do much anymore myself. I’ve been heavily into music since I was young. I’m also a motorsports junkie - NASCAR, IndyCar, monster trucks, touring cars, etc, etc. I’m not easy to “put in a box” because my interests are so all over the place.

6.) Stoic (or at least I try my best)

Really ever since I met my wife a decade ago, I’ve tried to keep the mindset of just taking life as it comes and focusing on the things I can influence. Shutting out the excess noise. It doesn’t always work as well as I’d like, but it’s definitely helped.

5.) Male, he/him

4.) Italian on my mother’s side. Ukrainian on my father’s side. There are other things mixed in there, but I forget the specifics of the family tree. Mom’s got it written down somewhere going back generations.

3.) I started out posting some of my older VP from a variety of different games. Going forward the majority of my content is going to be from Stellar Blade with other games mixed in here and there. I try to be contrarian, so I’ll usually avoid whatever is brand new or super popular in the moment.

2.) I do VP on social media to get away from the craziness. BlueSky is nice because there isn’t the constant barrage of noise and bullshit that somehow always seems to get thrust upon you on other platforms. It’s more of a comfortable and uplifting environment in a really harsh and bitter time.

1.) I still maintain my Twitter, mainly due to the community pages I help with. Instagram I don’t use consistently for VP, and I haven’t posted on my personal Instagram in almost four years. I’ve reached a point in life where I value my privacy more than some brief attention from trying to show off.
