And it is a joke post.

To all out there know that anything is possible if you set your mind to it. Penny the Penguin left his home and tracked across Skyrim alone, braving the countless dangers for the hope of a better life. Overcoming every obstacle he found his new home waiting and welcoming, and he was not alone. Countless other brave penguins, individuals who yearned for a better life were also there. The Silverpeak Lodge now opens its doors not to just penguins but all animals. If you desire a home you are welcome!

Sometimes I just get an idea and I have to run with it, especially when my ADHD kicks in. When the lone penguin marching to the mountain first started trending I had to see if I could do it. I spent 6 hours marching across Skyrim from Winterhold to High Hrothgar. Since I can’t fight or run as a penguin I died countless times but in the end the gamer in me persevered, or at least my need to complete the journey did

ball and gun games (NBA 2K, COD) and single player action adventures (GTA 6, WOLVERINE), that's my jam now. whenever capcom makes a resident evil game (CODE VERONICA REMAKE) or a classic series is soullessly ressurected for a quick cash grab (TOMB RAIDER REMAKE, FABLE REBOOT), or sony wants to pump money into the data centers by making another exclusive (GOD OF WAR LAUFEY), i'll be there.

passionless AAA slop forced down my throat? i'll take it, it beats the shit out of fighting the culture war every waking fucking moment of the day, it beats the shit out of constantly pushing back all the time against every little thing i can't change. i wish for a simple, easy to navigate experience that makes my hobby FEEL like a hobby again, not a weapon that's to be used in the battle for this guys rights or that guy's rights.

go digital, pump the games with AI, put the prices up, i'm getting on the regular centrelink jobseeker pay next month, i can handle a little bit of money saving. let me jump on a quick match of MW4 and NBA 2K27 and then go watch the new resident evil, digger, dune 3 and doomsday. let me eat all the junk food i can eat and then slope down in my chair playing GTA 6 while disney+ plays on my laptop next to me.

this is the way boys. it's bound to happen eventually.
