Out of the Blue

Life comes at you fast, and to help prove the point, tackle football season is now once again upon us. Tonight is a terrific opener for the NFL as the Ravens take on the champion Chiefs. There's another game tomorrow night in Brazil, of all places. Brazilians love football, but Pele didn't wear a helmet, and that passion is directed at an entirely different sport, so that should be interesting. Anyway, this means there's still time to get in on the ground floor of the Pigskin Pick'em 2024 Blue's News Group (password "bn"). It's free to join, free to play, and there's nothing at stake but pride, but you can't put a price on that. Feel free to share the link and password, and good luck to all participants.

I've said this before, but I don't care about what agendas or messages or whatever else is in or perceived to be in media. I literally don't care. Overwatch characters were compelling and exciting. Concord characters were boring and completely lifeless. I don't care about anything beyond that.

This might be shocking to some who are inclined to notice every time a non-white, non-male, non-hetero, non-attractive character is in a game and needs to evaluate the "appropriateness" of it. But I don't notice it. At all. I notice if the gameplay is compelling. If the world is lively and well-established. If the writing and dialogue are good. If the characters are likeable and interesting. I have to see some self-important blowhard yelling about it on YouTube or read the bickering on here before I even think about it. Then I get annoyed that people waste so much time arguing this nonsense back and forth. Or, more to the point, I get annoyed at myself that I wasted time watching or reading it.

"The assumption that animals are without rights, and the illusion that our treatment of them has no moral significance, is a positively outrageous example of Western crudity and barbarity. Universal compassion is the only guarantee of morality."
