Mister Stu

The Legend of Tarzan intro went hard. (2001-2003)

Can't stop the rain falling on people you care for. Not your job to try forcing the sun out. Sometimes all you can do is hold the umbrella.

Leone Galante (Leo) The King who never coveted a crown.

I remembered that I don't like looking at my face, so we're setting it back to a Stu classic. Good ol' Rod Serling.

I wasn't here on Friday so have this now. 🤜🏻🤛🏻

Rest in Peace my guy. Thanks for everything. 🐰

Weeeeeeeeeeee!

The age of remasters and re-releases is truly in effect these past couple of years. So I think it's time. Great gaming gods, hear my plea!

Social cues were never my strong suit. I was in my 30s when I was officially "diagnosed" with the ol' tizz bizz and by then I had self taught through sheer will. It takes me a little longer to understand the nuances of conversation. I don't register hints quickly. But I do catch on, eventually.

Sometimes it can feel like putting our phones down is like shedding a terrible, clinging weight. We are hardwired to think that we will miss out on everything the moment we put the device down. Constant digital noise has made us anxious about the quiet. The quiet, however, is fundamental.

Man this nightly facemask is kinda intense, ngl.

And you've just had some kind of mushroom. And your mind is moving low.

Musings. I am nothing and I consider it a privilege. Not worthless, not devoid of meaning. Don't get me wrong. Being nothing means I always have something new to learn. I exist in the service of observation. To check in with people. A semblance of calm in a tempestuous time of strong emotions.

You disliking a game/movie/music/book/comic/art peice. Does NOT in fact make the object of your personal dislike, automatically "bad". It DOES make it something that doesn't resonate with you existentially. Nuance, fellow moseyers. Is vital for continued growth.

Ahoy there nerds, you miss me?

I need little to no reason to return to the Metro tunnels. However with the upcoming 'Next Gen Update' arriving. I'm gonna make a safe assumption and say a revisit is highly likely. 🔹 October 22 - PC 🔹 October 29 - Console ☢️

Hellraiser: Revival ___________________ You gotta be f*cking kidding me . .

Hellraiser: Revival ___________________ That's quite enough, thank you. ⛓️

Social media creates a lot of noise on many different topics, ideals, strategies and lifestyles. From Religion to something as simple as "morning routines". Inspiration from one another is wonderful. But sometimes we lose ourselves in the static and surrender our sense of self. Take a breath.

Now comes the great quiet A chance to depart the mental riot Static twists the thoughts maligned Where clarity decays with unrefine If noise should cease, or simply dim Perhaps the days would be less grim Connections made, foundation layed A long standing debt of soul repaid For now. The quiet.

Jokes aside. If anyone here struggles with their physical shell, you have my empathy. I tolerate my face at best. I'm not ugly nor good looking, but a life of health issues and chronic pain has shaped my face into a sallow, sepid facade. Angry eyes tinged with bloodshot and often inflamed skin.

New skincare routine. It's intense but I think it's pretty effective. 💀

That's muy picante!

Now comes the quiet.

Hellraiser: Revival ___________________ Please, take your time. 🪤

Hellraiser: Revival ___________________ There he is. ⛓️

I've not slept a full night's sleep in over a decade. I've been on medications, practiced mindfulness, experimented with different pillows, duvets, posture and temperature controls for my room. Sometimes it's pain. Other times, bad dreams. But I have adapted to a broken slumber. Best I can.

Hellraiser: Revival ____________________ Even in a game as intense as Hellraiser. With literal demons of hell that feed off of the basest of lustful desire. Depravity and orgy filled energies. Even STILL. They know what's up 🖐🏻

Skyrim ___________ Beautiful then. Beautiful now. Like coming home.

From my experience, running a social media account is similar to maintaining a garden or a living space. The same fundamentals are in place to ensure a peaceful, well-run and orderly safe space. Mute. Unfollow. Block. Cultivate connection and genuine vibes. Give out what you want to take in.

I haven't had much to say these days. I used to think that because I *could* talk meant I *should* talk. But the older I get, the more comfortable with the quiet I become. Not every thought needs a spotlight. Not every opinion needs to be shared. Realigning my focus to where it matters most now.

The Witcher III: Remastered ____________________________ Geralt & Roach. On the path again. 🐺 🐴

The Witcher III: Remastered ____________________________ Not a hero. A professional. 🐺

Stardew Valley ________________ Enjoying a quiet moment in the rain before setting about getting chores done. Much like my Stardew counterpart, I was up before sunrise today after a restless night. I'll have to prioritize sleep tonight and attempt a more optimal rest. Fair Tuesdays to you.

The Witcher III: Remastered ____________________________ I took a walk around Novigrad today during the waning suns hours. No contracts. No missions. Just a wander through the streets and ports, drinking in the atmosphere with quiet contentedness. Bathing in as the glow of sunsets slumber.

Gears of War: E-Day _____________________ A decent return to form for the Gears. Having Markus & Dom back (albeit younger) was like comfort food. Played well. Looked awesome. Soundtrack was great.

Unsurprisingly. Kena: Scars of Kosmora has been pushed back to a 2027 release. Which to me is fine because there's a smorgasbord of different things to play currently right into the new year. When they drop a solid release date however? Bet that I'll replay Bridge of Spirits. Trust. 🌿

Stardew Valley. _________________ Just taking a breather from clearing out old wood on the farm. Have a lovely Sunday.

Sometimes, when I'm having a spot of trouble sleeping. I'll sit and take stock of my thoughts and general feelings. A kind of self wellness check and existential audit. Though rare there are times where I will suddenly feel unwelcome & unliked. Triggered by nothing at all, it simply manifests.

Good Morning all. Started my day with a hot lemon water because it's good for your stomach and skin. ... And a jumbo white choc chip macadamia cookie because life's about balance.

I've played a few hours. God in heaven it's peak.

Priming up the combine harvester because I'm farming engagement again. *Wheeze laugh* Hey Skircle you should do themed ones for spooky month. Like spiderwebs and Jack-o'-lanterns etc. @skircle.me

Stop taking the opinions of chronically online people seriously. These people are here because they have NO confidence without a keyboard, a screen and the ability to mute/block. They are here for digital dopamine and synthetic serotonin. Without the buffer of "online" they are small and meek.

I'm ready for E-Day

Tentatively, I'm back. A little less tired than I was but in no means in optimal condition. However, life goes on and so too shall I. Games. Music. Movies and Vibes. Same as it ever was.

Troops. I'm feeling very tired these days both physically and mentally. This virus dug its claws into me and bounced me off the stones at a velocity I'd describe as unfriendly. Taking a break. I have no time frame. Those who want me know how to reach me. Be well. See you when I see you. 🤜🏻🤛🏻

Remedy do not miss.
