¡Asómate! Ve qué trae el día, que nuevas cosas aprendes, te sorprenden, agradeces, les sonríes o te sacan una carcajada, un buen susto o el seño frunces.

Mira hacia afuera y verás algo más que la rutina, algo que te hace despertar más de lo inusual y que te deja el alma llena de dulzura.

Empezar con un café o te es fantástico, sentir la paz, la charla interna, la tranquilidad que da ese sentimiento de amor propio que da una nueva mañana y deseando que todo vaya bien; sin contratiempos, dificultades o enojos. Que desafies los problemas y que salgas avante con ellos, les des pelea y puedas triunfar.

Y ya de noche, has un recuento de los instantes que quieres que quedan en el jardín de los recuerdos y guárdalos bien.

FFxivWrite2023 Prompt #7: Noisome

It took effort. Hard beats of her wings, straining at the air. She’d claw at it, if she could, to gain traction, to lift herself above the city; each powerful stroke pulling her higher, freeing her of the noisome fug of the city, out of the smoke and smog, into clear air, clean skies. Higher, now, exhaling a lungful of crowd stench and pulling in a deep breath of crisp atmosphere. A low, rumbling hum of pleasure, feeling it reverberate through her chest as she pulled more air in and leveled out, high above the city. Up here it was easier to breathe, the stink of so many people crammed into their brick and mortar cleansed by the never ceasing winds. Letting her wings spread, she filled them with air, slow strokes, finding the right cadence to hover in the awakening morning. She couldn’t go far, couldn’t stay long, the injury that had grounded her not fully healed. But she’d needed this, lucidity, the clarion call of the sunrise and the sharp simplicity of flight. Free of the noxious smell of people and her own convalescence. Free of the constant need to think in the terms they used, the way they twisted time, the lack of harmony in their words. Inhaling another long breath, she rolled over in the air, savoring the way the currents twisted around her. And rolled back upright at a whoop of delighted alarm from her back. A soft chuckle, reminded by that sound of the straps and the rider she’d brought with her this morning. Barely a weight, hardly enough to strain her, which might be why she’d all but forgotten her thrill seeking friend, so lost in the fresh air. Another low hum, hearing his response as an almost war cry. Another few hard beats of her wings, lifting them higher, into the air. Higher, she thought, then he’d ever been? Perhaps. High above the city they shared, the scent of snow and sun and freedom. Turning her head, watching him for a moment, making sure all was well. And then she took another breath, and sang. The song of the morning. Because she could. Because She was here, the sun was rising, and it had been so long. She sang to the sky and the star and the sun. She sang for the joy of the song. And, just a little, she sang because she was not alone.

Tomb Raider Anniversary Review (PC)

This can be buggy. Places not properly mapped so trying to jump up onto places clearly there in front of you but there's no grab (though, I had auto grab on so maybe manual has a difference). Enemy AI getting stuck in odd places. Player AI getting stuck (mainly when crawling). And the camera…yeesh. Especially when you're trying to jump onto something behind you. It's a blind leap. Even worse when I used a controller, luckily I'm not picky enough to refuse keyboard and mouse.

But I went in knowing all that, I just wanted to treasure hunt and shoot dinosaurs.

I was actually just going to buy Underworld and saw both this and that were 98 cents so I figured what the heck, I'd just finish the trilogy since I already played Legend. Legend has a lot of the same problems but I enjoyed it anyway, this one just has a lot more.

I was left in kind of a weird situation because the best way to play these games…is on the Xbox 360, (I'll get to why when I talk about Underworld) but I heard that the PS2 and Wii ports were different from the PS3 and Xbox ones, cutting puzzles out and stuff, they even look a little different. PS2 and Wii happen to be the ports that I could play since I have those consoles but the reviews said to not even bother, that they shouldn't have even been released. Which is a far cry from what I wanted. Steam reviews said that the controls were atrocious and that it didn't even launch half the time so I figured heck with it, check the other stores, maybe they're supported a bit better. GOG had positive reviews so I bought them both.

Now despite all those problems I mentioned, I was having fun with it, there seemed to be some merit. A good experimental base for a good Tomb Raider game, but I can NOT recommend it. I ran it right after buying it, worked fine. I ran it again a few days later and started a playthrough, beat the first 3 chapters. I tried running it again that night and lo and behold a black screen. Not just any black screen though because I couldn't get out of it. I couldn't close the game. I ctrl alt deleted, I pressed every button on my keyboard, I tried everything I could but couldn't make it to my desktop, I had to restart my whole computer. After restart, same problem. It even crashed the whole computer once.

This isn't an uncommon issue either, it comes down to how much tolerance you have for how a game works and crashes. I ended up verifying game files, uninstalling then reinstalling and somehow it came back. Even then, I played it with task manager in the background but it didn't last. What ended up working was playing in windowed mode. How? I downloaded a thing off github that I could provide upon request but there's a gimmick now. Sometimes the camera only wants to aim downwards so I can't see what I'm doing…It's just a shame that this game has aged this poorly because it could be darn fine if it all worked the way it was supposed to. But the way it is now, this is probably one of the worst games I've ever played.

What's more is that the swan dive just plain doesn't work, when you load a game, you have to start a new game, skip the cutscenes until you can play and then load it from the menu. The way to fix this is to either rename your profile (or just make a new one) or rename the manual save to autosave.trasave. I don't think I was noble by finishing the game with all these problems but if I wanted to play it, I didn't have a whole lot of other options unless I wanted to buy it for a load more money by buying an outdated PS3 or Xbox 360 and as I mentioned, when I tried using a controller, it didn't work so well.

Now that I said that, I bought the Wii version because I heard that it's the best version, a bit of an outliar. So, that will be a second review for my second attempt. I mentioned Underworld but don't get the Wii version of that one. (rather complicated, I know.)

happy march 19th i think a certain friend known as @emolol123 will really love this post

my twst sona's ref !! say hi to me and trey 💗

La vida puede traer momentos muy duros, complicaciones, problemas, situaciones difíciles, perdidas irreparables, cosas inesperadas que nos hacen que tiremos la toalla o nos haga sentirnos derrotados.

Pero no es así, y si lo piensas, te aseguro que estás equivocado. Es cierto que muchas veces sentimos que estamos en la recta final y que nada tiene salida; cuando en realidad es todo lo contrario. Puede ser el principio de grandes cosas y agradables sorpresas que nos depara el destino más adelante.

Dale tiempo al tiempo, porque así como tenemos instantes terribles, también los hay increíbles, no perdamos la fe y miremos siempre hacia adelante.
