Star Citizen Will Never Come out Because No Man’s Sky is an Illuminati Plot

Star Citizen has recently become one of the main reasons why crowdfunded projects can be seen not as heaven-sent messages of hope for games, but a reminder the dark side of all humans (doubly those in software development). Despite having massive success, and the release of a mod or feature – the is as of yet no core game, especially not what was promised.

I have had positive feedback on writings in the past. The most recent ones I remember were from a speech teacher in my senior year of college. Most notably, she stated she didn't know much of the topics I was speaking of, but she was interested to know more. I'd never had that reaction before in terms of my setting.

The positive feedback and overall response may have had to do with the topics I presented in my papers: the reception of Phil Fish cancelling FEZ 2 after an online fight with an irate games 'enthusiast'; the supposed discovery of a way to fool those annoying CAPTCHA boxes used to prove if the site user is an actual human; the woes of the Kinect 2 for the (at the time) upcoming Xbox One.

Most people in the world don't know or care about such nerdy things as the topics I talked about in my papers, but I presented them anyway. It actually helped with my self-esteem at the time of receiving my feedback.

The grades helped, too.

However, I still haven't felt the urge to write about anything as of late. That's not true at all. I really just felt like everyone else had talked about it already; why write about a topic people have already spoken at length about? No one will read it; no one will care (not even potential employers), so why write? Unless you have some extremely uncommon perspective on a topic or a new thing to get everybody's attention for the grand time-span of an hour at best, why bother?

Regardless, I've been trying to get myself to write more about myself more often. If I can't express myself through speech, then I hope I can at least improve how I express myself through the written word. It's a skill most people need to use in the world today, anyway; why not get better at it?

I have this constant fear that instead of no one caring about what I have to say or just ignoring it, it's regarded as something negative. And, I mean, vehemently opposed by everybody who responds in the forum post. I won't go into it here, but I've run into that issue in some of the video game forums I've posted on in the past. However, the gaming community has always been - and, unfortunately, still is - a volatile bunch. Maybe it's for the best I stay away from talking about serious topics on those forums.

Overall, I still have a lot to work on in terms of expressing myself. I specifically need to just write about whatever comes to my mind. I'll need to archive it in a more public fashion, as I'm doing this to build up my self-esteem. One of the major ways of doing so is to "put yourself out there," as most advice states it. I'll have to do it regardless in order to improve myself, so the major issue is how to do it without pushing myself backwards in the process.

Einiges los in der Welt des Gamings

  Derzeit ist wieder einiges los in der Welt des Gamings. Phil Fish reaktiviert seinen Twitteraccount, um in die Proteste über die Vorgänge in Ferguson einzustimmen. Manche freuen sich, manch nicht, wieder andere…
