I didn't do much today. I meant to be more productive than I was, but I don't think I got there. I can't even say that I tried. I suppose I just went through the motions. Maybe I was tired? i don't know.
It was cold outside this morning when I left the house at 4:30am. It was so cold, in fact, that there was frost on the sidewalks, as well as on my car. Frost was definitely a nice touch, considering that it hasn't really been that cold this winter. Sure, it took a few minutes of heating up the car and that front windshield before I could go anywhere, but I didn't mind. It's not like I was in a hurry to get to the office, especially on a Saturday when practically no one is going to be there. If I'm even a few minutes late, no one's going to care. No one's going to notice. Security doesn't care when I get there. Most of them are sleeping when I get there anyway. For the most part, the day would remain cold. Again, I did not mind, nor did I complain. Before we know it, it'll be warm all over again in these parts as spring looms just over the horizon.
I worked for a few hours and called it a day. I'll probably work a few more hours tomorrow as well. As I typically do, I spent some time on YouTube. I watched a myriad of videos, everything from music videos, to people getting evicted, to sovereign citizens getting everything they have coming to them by the police, to gamers playing video games. most of the time, YouTube is just on as background noise, as I play games or goof off on the internet.
I spent a few minutes playing "Wreckreation" on the PS5. This would be one of those games that I'm renting from that mail-in service, GameFly. I've been a GameFly member since 2008, I believe. Wreckreation is very much a clone of Burnout Paradise, which is an open-world racing game that I absolutely adored when I first picked it up in 2006, I believe, not long after I was able to buy my first PlayStation 3 console. The particular PS3 console would last me maybe three of four years before it suffered what we gamers remember as "YLOD", or more specifically, as the the Yellow Light Of Death. The YLOD occurred when the PS3 console would experience, usually catastrophic and fatal, overheating. There were ways to resurrect a console that had been afflicted with the YLOD, but in my particular case, it was fatal. I ended up selling it over a year later, after trying to send it to somewhere in Minnesota for repair. Apparently, I was out of luck. My YLOD PS3 was dead. I would end up buying a PS3 slim console not long thereafter.
But anyway, Wreckreation is a decent Burnout Paradise clone, but it feels like something is missing. Maybe Burnout Paradise just had more to offer or perhaps Wreckreation doesn't necessarily do anything new, different, or better than Burnout Paradise? Wreckreation controls well and offer a nice sense of speed. It's not a bad game. I just think that everything that Wreckreation does, Burnout Paradise already did, and so in some way, Wreckreation doesn't offer much. If anything, I like the car selection in Wreckreaction, in that these cars are real. The cars in Burnout Paradise are fictitious, though modeled after real cars. I'm still on the fence, with regards to whether I should just buy Wreckreation. It'll only cost me $25, though this isn't about the money. I'm just wondering if I'll play the game that much. I may take the next few days to play the game and mull it over.
Gaming remains slow for me. Work is anything but.
Maybe I shell out the money and buy Wreckreation? Maybe I save my money and buy another game? I don't know. suppose I have options, though I don't currently have my eye on any other games.
I'm still freezing.
Sometimes, I really do miss the weight that I've lost these last three years. That natural insulation really did keep me warm.
