My Actifit Report Card: March 24 2022
Didn’t get as much writing done, but a lot of that’s because I’ve been slogging through editing and if I keep adding on sections I’m going to wind up with a lot of regret when this 15k word book turns into a 150k word book. I’ve hit 48k words now, which I think will be fine given the breadth of the subject, but I hope to edit it down rather than up once I start sending it off to beta readers.
Stomach is better today. Still abnormal, but when abnormal mostly means that I have a little discomfort I’m going to settle for that. Honestly, the weirdest part is just that I don’t feel like eating until later in the day, which isn’t the end of the world but is something that I think probably encourages some bad behaviors.
Spent a lot of time with my cat today. She’s very adorable, though I don’t get good photos of her so you’ll have to take my word of it. She was shedding a lot because it’s starting to warm up, and some of the fur wound up on her whiskers and it drove her half-crazy for a while.
Not a lot of activity, of course. I’m logging everything to see if once things go back to basically ordinary status I still get a reaction to lactose, since I’m not sure if my improvement over the weekend was due to that or due to the reduced physical activity I was getting.
A new video game in the Borderlands series (well, technically a spin-off) came out today. It’s not exactly grand art, and truthfully if I hadn’t pre-ordered it a while ago I wouldn’t have had the money to spare for it, but it’s something that I can play while I go through some books (Hoppe’s Economic Science and the Austrian Method was today’s listening, which was good and went into the annotated bibliography at the end of my book but didn’t give me a whole lot more to add to the body text), and I have a certain love for the straightforward procedural complexity it has in a lot of its mechanics.
It’s interesting because of how it changes the classes up. In the past, each class has really been a character, and the personalities have sometimes carried over into the game and sometimes less so. In Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, you’re not playing a canon Borderlands character, you’re playing an anonymous figure roleplaying a character in an in-universe Dungeons and Dragons knock-off.
On one hand, given that I design tabletop roleplaying games, that’s basically right up my alley, but when you consider the fact that I like the Borderlands design (even if there are things I have some reservations about as far as the actual storytelling), it’s quite a joy.
The interesting thing is how much the actual core mechanics have been iterated on. People don’t think about this, but even something as simple as the player controller in a game (the physics entity that attaches to the camera and player model) has a major impact, and I think Gearbox has done a great job making the game feel a lot more fluid and action-packed without losing any of the core looter-shooter gameplay. The changes to characters have a small consequence of making them a little less diverse as far as play options, but since you get 6 choices for skill trees and unlock a second during play there’s perhaps a little less.
I will say that I’m less satisfied by the actual makeup of the trees I’ve tested compared to the old ones. They’re much less situational and much more direct bonuses-focused, though this might be something of a bias from remembering the more complex character abilities from previous games and not remembering the simpler ones.
Of course, it also has a D&D-derived attributes system (I use the term derived loosely, because it’s sort of an homage with limited family resemblance) that gives an extra layer of customization, something that you could kind of do with the previous games having play-unlocked bonuses but which adding up-front gives a little more variation.
And, most importantly, the core gunplay is actually good. It’s a fantasy game, but the guns still shine even if they’re crossbows, magic, and black powder. In fact, I think this actually makes them more distinctive and enjoyable, though I don’t know how well that will hold up over the course of the game.
Generally, I’d say that as a love-letter to roleplaying games it does a good job. The comedy is heavily referential to both the Borderlands series and tabletop roleplaying, which may make it inaccessible to some, but it’s still just straight-up funny at times where its predecessors had issues with that. Definitely a lighter tone than its predecessors, but it makes up for it by never running into tonal whiplash.

Notice many "new users" on Hive? Not many, like this place is a disease. No outside communities bringing in new comers. No other sites having many links or no links to any articles from Hive on sites that show professional interests they view as noteworthy to a profession or hobby. Hive articeles are rare on reddit.com. Wouldnt people post on reddit.com with links to their articles attracting their own new following and groups? No crypto forums acknowledge Hive exists as a place to be either. Ever seen a person asking for support show a way to give support with HIVE listed as a supporting wallet address? Is there a world address on Hive for countries made more unfortunate because of Hive? Would a large Hive holder or large earner of Hive donate a LARGE amount of Hive to help support Ukraine? What? Support something thing that could attract unwanted media attention? Nothing to see here......I dont get out much though.
People are hiding exposure to Hive. People either play dumb, could be scared or intimidated, mislead or dont beilieve it. Maybe just not electronically cultured enough to know. Who knows. Its mostly fake with fake attention paid for by people with ill intentions as many do gloating in their own groups special mindset. Such a small town here to support this kind of high pay. Who is buying Hive tokens with no notable new user base coming in? People trying to buy this place as a grooming ground on the sly. Articles that arent in the interests of their own goals and views dont get much attention. I dont see many high paid articles I would put on a real news sites or link to as noteworthy. Be part of one of their groups and they groom you. They buy comment and article writers in ways that keep their lies hidden. Here to take our FREEDOMS completely in treason as the sacks of shit they are.
Most interest groups and businesses have discord rooms on the side because they wont talk here or more able to teach views there to shill out of public view. They can do odd stuff to you in discord rooms they cant do here. I’ve seen people get mugged and shaken down in discords, be careful while visiting new discords, even if they are a business. They shut down the discord room along with all of the evidence of their crimes the group around @fyrstikken and his discord server @steemspeak. They also hide behind skirts there while on the creep like they do in the new ones they are in.
The operators doing V2K with remote neural monitoring want me to believe this lady @battleaxe is an operator. She is involved in the same discord groups around @fyrstikken and friends. Her discord is Battleaxe#1003. Shes in some groups with seemingly detached characters that dont even acknowledge the others in the group, looking oddly staged. She starts projects and does nothing with it or the delegations after its used to sway people. Like @steempowertwins does<------fake along with her @teamgood <------fake. No substance in her comments and has a following that adores her for what? Life coach she is not nor is she insightful with any meaningful skills to follow. Ruler of pixie dust maybe? I would like for someone to show me but probably wont out fear maybe? @fyrstikken groups around him down voted me into censored and not viewable on my accounts as soon I told what they were doing.
I cant prove @battleaxe is the one directly doing the V2K and RNM. Doing it requires more than one person at the least. It cant be done alone. She cant prove she is not one of the ones doing V2K because she cant and could care less. I guarantee she knows this is going around and still wont prove it because she cant. Many of us here can prove what they have been doing to survive the past 5 years. What does she live off of? It definitely isnt in public view here.
I was drugged in my home covertly, it ended badly. They have been trying to kill me using RNM with applied V2K mental games while revealing as many accessories to the crime as they can. I bet nobody does anything at all. Ask @battleaxe to prove it. I bet she wont. Pretty serious accusations to just blow off and leave the crypto community hanging in fear of this danger.
They want me to believe the V2K and RNM in me is being broadcast from her location. And what the fuck is "HOMELAND SECURITY" doing about this shit? I think stumbling over their own dicks maybe? Just like they did and are doing with the Havana Syndrome. They should start by looking at the communications between the top witnesses of Hive and the connection to @fyrstikken groups. Google his fucking name and see where his other interests lie around at least once maybe? The connections between @fyrstikken groups and all the exchanges built for Hive? Bet that would reveal some crazy ball less nutty shit. Homeland security should start preparing for their own incarcerations seeing how sloppy this was done. Patriot act my ass. Think we are really fools? Bad position your not getting out of. Dont be last to blow the whistle. Who will protect you?
People in and around @fyrstikkens groups are reckless and should have shown the proper media what they had before taking me hostage for 5 long torturing years and counting. That is a long time to wait for someone to die.
What would you say while having a gun pointed at your head from an undisclosed location? Have people find it? My hands are tied while they play like children with a gun to my head. Its a terrorist act on American soil while some yawn and say its not real or Im a mental case. Many know its real. This is an ignored detrimental to humanity domestic threat. Ask informed soldiers in the American military what their oath is and why nothing is being done. Nobody has I guess. Maybe someone told ill informed soldiers they cant protect America from military leaders in control that have ill intent. How do we protect locked up soldiers prevented from telling the truth from being treated as criminals? Not to mention civilians we let our leaders treat the same way. https://ecency.com/fyrstikken/@fairandbalanced/i-am-the-only-motherfucker-on-the-internet-pointing-to-a-direct-source-for-voice-to-skull-electronic-terrorism-terrorism
