An Ode to Video games

 Boredom can give rise to a lot of things, for me lately, an addiction to writing has really gotten to my head. So here, just a little something I ended up typing to my friend Shruti in a matter of 30 mins when I thought she was offline (But somehow wasn't):


Yknow,

I want something, that which i cannot say,

I want something, that which i cannot describe,

I want something, that which i cannot ask for,

I want something, something prehistoric, something atavistic, something uncultured,

Remnants of a past hobby,

Withered, but present,

With influence so grand, so emminent, so irresistible

One that engenders shivers, goosebumps, and naive exploitable excitement

A grating decay of a plane, damp sounds of battering bones and swift stabs that atrophy

Explosions that stupor, stories that inspire, and zombies that devour

Not trite, not grindy, but one with an end

Not limited, not unfathomable, but lovable

Addicting, but not degrading

Reviving not enervating

One that tests skills, not temper and tolerance

Gauges grip, flexibility, and memory

One that teleports, transcends, and sensitizes

Through the ups and downs, canyons and plateaus, spaces and oceans, galaxies and heavens

With the pining of those gone, and embracing the ones who aren't

The silent protective volitions for some and merciless inconsiderate gratifying executions for others

The shifting gears, cocking guns or charging plasmas

That wake a beast that only yearns for more

I want something, which cannot be delivered

I want something, which does not exist

I want something, which i will want, till the end of my days


                                                                        THANK YOU


P.S: 

- The last line can be improved upon so much.

Cinnabon Cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory

  There is some wisdom here that tells me to upload the review of this before anything else because I am afraid I might forget what mental notes I made about the cheesecake. So ok, this is my first of 5 drafts, I have many articles lined up after this.  It was my birthday on 11 July, but I was quite busy back then, so I instead redeemed by free Cheesecake Factory slice on the 25th of July. I had a wonderful day, and I journaled it all so if anyone is interested  feel free to leave a like or a comment, and I might share that entry.  Focussing back, the cheesecake pictures above is a recommendation of the bartender there. I had come there twice before and tried the coconut cheesecake, and another flavor I am not able to properly recall. But I remember they were very stuffy. I had gone with one other person first, and then 2 other people, and it was hard both times to complete the cake. So I was aware that if I planned to have the cheesecake at 3 PM, I would have to mak...

Do Our Greivances Mean Anything?

  The following appeared in a memo from a vice president of Quiot Manufacturing. "During the past year, Quiot Manufacturing had 30 percent more on-the-job accidents than at the nearby Panoply Industries plant, where the work shifts are one hour shorter than ours. Experts say that significant contributing factors in many on-the-job accidents are fatigue and sleep deprivation among workers. Therefore, to reduce the number of on-the-job accidents at Quiot and thereby increase productivity, we should shorten each of our three work shifts by one hour so that employees will get adequate amounts of sleep." Write a response in which you examine the stated and/or unstated assumptions of the argument. Be sure to explain how the argument depends on these assumptions and what the implications are for the argument if the assumptions prove unwarranted. The vice president of Quiot Manufacturing has received a fairly adequate evaluation of the grievances of the workers. The comparison betwee...

Superman 2025

Superman is a classic superhero. He has been around for almost a century and provided inspiration to children and adults alike. He has a certain righteousness that is unparalleled by any other superhero I have ever read about. He isn’t the best or most interesting superhero, but Superman carries himself in a status that isn’t built as easily as other people think. In this essay I will iterate why I think Superman is the morally best superhero and why being him is difficult. (And some thoughts on the 2025 movie) The most memorable thing about superheroes will always be their origin stories. Spiderman had uncle ben, Batman has his parents, and the Flash has his mom. Superman has no real tragedies that motivate him against evil. He has two healthy parents who just raised him to be a good person. Sure, he lost his entire civilization of Krypton, but he was a baby when it happened and maybe he may feel alienated (pun intended), but he cannot feel traumatized enough to do good because of tha...
