Withdrawing from Twitter

Logged out of that platform this morning. The more I read about the business practices of Twitter, the less I like it and honestly, it doesn't accomplish anything for me. I already waste too much time online in a day as it is, so this is my first step in reclaiming myself from the sewer that is most social media. I've already significantly curtailed my presence over at Facebook - so much so, in fact, that I've received a couple of emails from online friends wondering if I'm okay or wishing I would talk to them via FB, even though I've sort of made it clear that I'm sick and tired of that platform, especially due tot he various political BS that one has to wade through this time of year. Even the so-called joke accounts are clearly run by leftists as every time something new comes up, I have to grit my teeth at the sheer bias involved. So very, very tired of that crap. There's a reason why I've tuned out of so much entertainment - NFL? Done, what with far too much of the League turning into BLM assclowns. I was even originally planning on driving down to Dallas this year to watch the evil Cowboys take on the Ravens, but now, not going to happen. Would rather spend my money elsewhere.

Logging out doesn't mean it is entirely gone, although I have cleared out my browsing data which will hopefully remind myself to not venture into that Twitter sewer anytime soon.

In other news, despite having finished ME1 and started ME2, I ended up starting yet another ME1 game simply because I wasn't all that satisfied with the character I had in ME2 ("FemShep"). Plus? I watched this freaking awesome ME3 trailer again and have to have my Soldier (Earthborn, Sole Survivor) hanging with Ashley (who I actually like for some reason, despite so many people calling her a racist ... how is it any different from any of the other characters throughout the game?)

Paladin Thoughts

In our Friday game, we're playing D&D 5E with a relatively new GM, with a fascinating campaign concept: the PCs are legendary heroes pulled from the past to deal with a great threat ... unfortunately, they were pulled from the timestream before they could become the legends. I decided that I would play a Paladin but wanted to do something slightly different and came up with a concept: the Traitor-Knight. Essentially, in his past-future, he would go on to become reviled by most of the populace due to his siding with the losers of the inevitable war that leads to the current status quo. But that's not what this post is really about. Instead, I wanted to throw out some interesting musings on Holy Knights like this.

Earthfall, Plot Outline

There are twenty planned chapters, five of which are going to be flashbacks. This is actually becoming my standard, I've noticed as "Fulcrum," "Vorticity" and "Aspects of Silver" all have that same technique baked into them. As outlines go, this probably one of my least figured out which honestly fills me with a great deal of trepidation about this.

Capaldi Leaving Who

I can't say that this surprises me - the sad part, for me anyway, is that he's had the potential to be great but the scripts have sucked terribly for him. Kind of weird that Moffat wrote some of my favorite Tennant Who eps but has kind of been a bust as showrunner. My expectation is that Capaldi's departure will be the death knell of the show. The SJW twits will get their way and the next Doctor will likely be a woman and long-time fans like me will tune out in droves. I have less trouble with the Doctor being a black guy, providing he's a guy . Sadly, the show already went off the rails with the Master regenerating into a woman (although to be fair, I've pretty much hated the modern incarnation of the Master since he first showed up in Tennant's run because he's been more Joker-like than Master-like.)
