I forgot about blogging because of Deus Ex
Did you know Deus Ex is super good? I know I'm late to the party but yeah. I bought almost all the games during a Steam sale yeeeeears ago, but for some reason I got stuck at the first one. In rerospect I'm really not sure why, the game gives you a bunch of options how to proceed even if you're pushed against the wall. All I remember is lacking medkits and my health being extremely low, the legs' health meter being on red and I couldn't even get up and run. Maybe I just got better this time. All I know is I'm way past the point where I got stuck those years ago and just arrived at the Hong Kong stage.
Right before that, there was the "Take your best shot, Flatlander Woman" scene, and it might be one of the best moments in any videogame ever. Playing something like that makes you believe in the potential of humanity for good. Art is a beautiful thing. The fact you can deal with the situation another way, but I managed to find that one option to make it easier, just makes it feel more awesome. Really, that sums up the whole game.
So that's why I missed my deadline for September. Really, I leave the monthly blog post for the end of the month because I just don't feel like blogging all that often. I like doing it and I'll keep doing it, but sometimes I'm just spending my free time playing Deus Ex and forget to write. When I do write, though, it usually flows pretty well, like it's happening now.
Play Deus Ex I guess!
For personal updates: My goal of meeting more people has been going well. I am actually going out with someone, so that's been exciting! We get along really well and they like fashion, so I've been getting help with this whole transition thing. It's a very awkward process so it's good to have help, and even besides that, it's good to go out with people who live close, I needed that. You know, I absolutely hate dating apps, I'm sure I've mentioned that before, but to my surprise it can go well occasionally.
I could write more — and maybe I'll do a separate post on how I've been feeling about Gender, I'll think about it — but these have been the big things this month. I need to get some lunch now.
