The factory mass producing fear, bottled
Capped, distributed near and far
Sold for a reasonable price
The people, they love it, they feed it
Brush with it, bathe with it, breathe it
Inject it direct to the blood
It seems to be replacing love

Everyone is losing their minds over having the battery percentage back on the latest beta. Are you all bonkers? Who really wants to see that? Doesn’t it give you anxiety, to see that number going down through the course of the day like a Doomsday clock?
Me, personally, and in my not humble opinion, I don’t need that kind of negativity and anxiety in my life.
I’ve spoken!
I often tend to bury bad memories (or situations) or try not to relive them in my head, just forget and move on. I think that is a very human thing to do, again, I can only speak for myself. There was a very dark period in my life, well maybe dark is a little bit of an exaggeration, or maybe it isn’t, but it is something I was more than okay to have “forgotten” or moved past it, until this morning. I saw a post that brought me back into it, and I did not like how I felt about it.
Love will fuck you up, love will eat you alive, love will turn your nights into terror and your days into a pile of ashes. And the more people you love, the more ways there are to suffer.
Love is a beast, love is a monster, love is a howling storm.
Hold on, hold on tight. It’s the only good reason to be here.
Hold on. Hold on.
Now the at I’ll be getting a less smarty-pants watch, I am now wondering about my rings and such. Will I miss them? Can go back to a live without worrying about them? I have been worrying about them since the series 0.
The few times I use dark mode in my device, Micro.blog is the only thing I rather use the web, “true black” is hard on my eyes and every Micro.blog client uses it. Hashtag rant

I may or may not have ordered a G-Shock watch. And if I did, and I am not saying that I did, it is not yellow. 😜
Si ven WANDA en tendencia sepan que se refiere a la exgobernadora de Puerto Rico que fue arrestada por el FBI y no a Wanda Maximoff
Translation
If you see WANDA trending, know that it refers to the former governor of Puerto Rico who was arrested by the FBI and not to Wanda Maximoff
🎶 Puerto Rico está bien cabrón 🎶
This is golden, even Marvel had to stepped in and clarify. 😅

I am calling anything with the Xeno on front of it, as part of the overall series, I am not sure (or remember) how accurate that is, but these have been around since the PlayStation One days. Starting with Xenogears in the late nineties, I still have my copy somewhere in the house. don’t remember much about it other than it was a great game.
In the early two thousand on PlayStation 2, Xenosaga (I, II, and III), I also have my copies in some box somewhere. Those were fun to play, and I remember the story being slightly complicated and open for discussion and interpretation.
Now here is where I got lost in the whole thing. I think then we had Xenoblade Chronicles X, on the Wii U, which I probably purchased but never really played it. I was never a Wii U player, to be honest. Then comes Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition, and this one I think was originally released on the Wii U then the Nintendo 3DS and eventually we got this remastered version for the Nintendo Switch, which I do own and played only about an hour or two before dropping it. Next is Xenoblade Chronicles 2 on the Nintendo Switch and that one I did get excited about, and once again, played for like 4 hours before dropping it. Tried once or twice to get back into it but for whatever reason, I could not get into it or had the patience.
This brings us to Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and when this game was announced I didn’t even bother to watch its announcement, trailers, or looked into it in any way. Actually, I was a little fed up with it because Nintendo was pushing this game very heavily on social media and that made me despise the game a bit. Until, release day, guess there was a little bit of FOMO.
So how is it going? Well, I am close to ten hours into it and I am not yet feeling bored or overwhelmed. In fact, I can’t seem to be able to put it down. In lieu of that, I felt like I needed a Xenoblade Universe crash course. Although I was always under the impression that these games aren’t directly connected, there seems to me some lore. Even though each game has its own set of characters and overall story, things do connect in some way. So I have spent quite the amount of time watching youtube videos to kind of get into the Xeno-lore.
I like how the game slowly but steadily introduces you to all the mechanics, the ins and outs of the battle system, crafting items, abilities trees, etc. It doesn’t just throw all the information in one single tutorial battle at you and then you figure it out. In fact, I’d say, the first ten hours, are the tutorial, or so it did feel like. I mean I just had my first “big” battle and hopefully, there is nothing else to introduce me to as far as something else to explain game-wise.
The battle system does get some used to, or at least to me, auto-battle it’s weird to me and I believe Chronicles 1 and 2 have a very similar battle system. So you have your regular auto attacks but your greatest damage, or heavy attacks, come from arts and these have a cool-down system. Each character has its own class and arts but these can be learned and shared among all the characters and leveled up, that’s a kind of nice system.
Graphics are great, and so is the voice acting. The world of Xenoblade Chronicles 3 seems huge and lots to explore without feeling like it’s a chore, so far. There is so much about this game and I already feel like I am rambling too much about it.
I am really having fun with this one. I read it is about eighty hours to finish the game. So far I feel as if I was reading (or listening) to one of those fantasy/sci-fi books. I am very intrigued by the story and the main characters so far. I am very curious about where this is going. What this game does that the other did not? I don’t know. Maybe the fact that I got into its lore and “backstory” that now I am intrigued?
Hm…
Final thoughts,
It’s a great game, you shall play it!
