Attempt 8 I think

I'm making another attempt. There's a few things I want to get off my chest.

First, Trump has proved his worth for once. As much as I think he's a fool, he's done things that have helped me and the gaming community, by accident. His executive order basically states that banks and payment options can't choose what is considered "art." Which is good because the moment the banks start thinking that this is a viable way to control people, we're doomed. Going back to my previous posts about sex in games, it looks like Paypal, Mastercard, and Visa will have a tough time doing business in the US if they don't follow the rules. I doubt Trump meant for this help gamers but the side effects speak for themselves. Gamers are touting it as a victory against censorship. Me? I'm on the fence. I like that games can't be censored, I don't like any art to be held back because someone is offended. But these are games that have stuff like rape and incest in them. Now, there are games that treat sex in a mature manner instead of going down the harem route. Games like Witcher 3 allows the player to make love to prostitutes but the thrill of seeing an eighty year old buff man make out with women doesn't have an appeal to me. Instead I think it's more along the lines of something the Witcher did to feel...something. Witchers are numb to many emotions that humans have due to their training, at least that's how the lore goes. Geralt, the witcher from the first three games, does enjoy the women. There are three women you can court in the game besides the hookers who offer storylines and more than breasts to the game. So I'm wondering what the new witcher will behave like since she's a girl. I'm sure plenty of players will enjoy lesbian sex or whatever happens to her, but I doubt it has the same impact on males. I mean that despite the developers going out of their way to say they aren't in this to make sex scenes, they put a lot of effort into these scenes. Isn't it possible to turn off the lights and let a few moans out on a black screen? I'm not trying to be prude but save the company some money. Who am I kidding? As a straight male I'm sure I would have enjoyed being in Geralt's shoes. Long life, cool powers, the loner lifestyle. Not a bad fix.

But it took CD Project Red three tries to get the Witcher right. Witcher 3 sold millions of copies but the first two are basically forgotten games. Not bad games, just lost in the sea of media. Thankfully, the first one is getting a remake so who knows what will happen next.

To sum up, I'm glad a bunch of prudes in Australia have gotten their butts whopped by Trump even if he is a loser. 

The second thing I wanted to bring up is that my parents have decided to pay for my tooth removal. I'm greatful, but I feel indebted. My mom says it's a good lesson in God's grace. How we don't earn it. But you're told by the world that you need to be independent. It's hard to do when you're disabled and I often forget that I'm disabled. It's like getting mad at your legs when you're crippled. I've hope I haven't used my autism to get away with things like bad work habbits. I've come close to losing my job because I love my phone too much. It's hard to find things to do when there is nothing to do. I'll have plenty of work when I get back to my old job. Or maybe I'll find a new one. Speaking of which...

Nevermind. No new jobs have popped up. I don't know what to do. I'm stuck at my current job which takes too long to get to and doesn't pay enough. What is a man to do? Instead of whining I think I'll try again. Today I've already applied for another library job and asked them why I wasn't hired. Maybe that will get a fire under them and get them to hire me. Maybe it's because I keep on identifying as "disabled." I'm sure that's a real turn off. If it is God that gets me the job then I need his help.
