I worry about the variety of the missions and the amount of content. Warframe has something like 20 unique mission types? In Anthem I feel like I've done three things, if that.

Plus the one unique thing about Anthem, flying, generally doesn't factor into the combat gameplay loop. So really the GIMMICK is just a fancy way to travel. I'm playing as Storm, probably the most consistently air bound Javelin, and hovering around just feels like slow high angle strafing, not flying. I wish there could have been a way to work flying into the gameplay loop more, like some sort of half ground shooter half flight combat sim dynamic just to take advantage of the fact that these things are in the air and flying feels so nice.

Jim Sterlings video on how bonkers and unfriendly the lore is made me morbidly curious about the series.

Primal was the off year game and I loved it, so I have hopes.

Do the people saying "it looks corny" get that the corniness is intentional? I don't think there's accidental cringe here. They know what they're doing with the tone.

Who needs Star-field?

Always cook bacon before your eggs. All that bacon grease will be absolutely wonderful to scramble your eggs in.

I gave this a try and Sabrina to get in the Halloween mood. I'm digging it way more than Sabrina, although to be fair to that well made show I'm not a 16 year old girl and not the demographic.

I just finished The Six Gun Tarot, part of the Golgotha trilogy. It was fun and I liked it a lot! Imagine if Stephen Kings Salems Lot was set in a small Nevada town during the wild west, and instead of vampires the villains slowly taking over the town were Lovecraftian Old One horrors. Add in a dash of Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Supernatural and that's pretty much accurate. A fun Halloween read, as I was specifically looking for a "town being overrun by evil" kind of horror story.

I just finished The Evil Within 2, which was an ok Resi action horror thing. I've got Dead Souls 3 which will be my first ever Dead Souls, as well as Resident Evil 7, Dead Space 3, Hollow Knight, Darkest Dungeon and Don't Starve, as well as the Costume Quest games and Overwatch, Paladins, WoW Wildstar and Guild Wars for their Halloween event content.

I was in this boat at some point and I want to stress that it's important to overcome this fear and anxiety and NOT to avoid it. Conquering this specific fear is a key link in a chain that will lead to taking even more chances and overcoming all kinds of things for you. The first step is as simple as sign up, go in, find a treadmill and start running. Since the goal here appears to be losing fat and not a skinny guy trying to bulk on muscle, the treadmill is the easy thing to start with if you're anxious about being new.

As for concerns about lifting and acquiring knowledge on fitness, I always point people to the Youtube channel Athlene X. Jeff is about as legit and as simple straight forward no nonsense no bullshit a trainer you're going to find on Youtube. He gives it to you straight, he doesn't confuse things, it's real actual knowledge that can be applied to your training, and he's got programs available that can get you started into a lifting routine that works for you. That being said, I would not suggest following one persons exact routines or advice completely. Read everything you can. Research. Put hours and hours and hours of work into Youtubing the differences between the incline bench press and the flat bench, study how to perform a proper Deadlift and the proper contractions and the mind muscle connections required to perform the work. Look into LISS cardio vs HIIT cardio and the various benefits and drawbacks. To a certain extent you're simply going to have to put in the effort yourself to learn, but Athlene X is a great resource to get that first ball rolling.

Lastly, those adonis's at the gym are nice guys and gals who didn't always look like that. 90 percent of them, probably more are genuinely cool empathetic awesome people who are absolutely NOT sitting there judging you for being fat. Hell many of them probably were fat. You'll sit there afraid of their judgement only to realize they're much much more likely to pull you up and pat you on the back for showing up to the cool kids club than they are to mock you. The mental block of fear keeping any of us out of the gym is 99 percent us, and we all just have to dig down deep and find the courage to push through that sometimes.
