It's not even a nostalgia thing, I never heard of Wizardry before playing Daphne, and I didn't get into gaming till post the original modern warfare trilogy. But since I was broke I got a lot of old second hand games that were usually AA and fell in love with that kind of stuff.

HAPPY WORLD VEGAN DAY🌱🐝🌎🍫✨

This marks 5 years for me following a completely plant based diet (and soon-after adjusting my other lifestyle habits) since I learned a few facts in 2013 and realized I needed to realign my actions with my beliefs.

Compassion is at the core of everything I believe in. I no longer follow a religion or organized set of beliefs like I did as a child, but I think kindness and empathy are the perfect compass for choosing how we live our lives. Obviously nobody is perfect (least of all myself) but in my eyes, letting those guide you in life will never steer you wrong.

Being human, we create a lot of damage, waste and irreversible destruction to this home we live in and those living here with us. My choice is merely to try and lessen that impact. I choose to no longer willingly contribute to painful or violent acts, because there is a clear alternative for me which is kinder to all. I have the ability to eat a peanut butter sandwich over salami, a veggie burger over steak, soy/almond/coconut/hemp/rice/oat/cashew/hazelnut milk over dairy, and so on. Each of these choices is a vote with my dollar and impacts the supply and demand of products, thus the world we continue to create.

Even if the impact was not as obvious and immense as it is (check out @cowspiracy for stats), I would still live this way. If you discovered one day that everyone decided to start eating their pet dogs - not out of necessity, but for taste, you probably still would not eat your dog. Others will say; “you’re just one person, it won’t make a difference” but (even though that statement is already false), you would stand by what you know to be right anyway. A life is a life, and it has no les value than my own.

After almost five years, I’ve seen my immediate family, most of my friends and many of you guys go vegan too. The change we’re creating is immense, widespread and impactful.
