I was really into AOT when it first came out, both visual and novel form but really hated the direction it went. I stopped watching halfway through season 3. No particular reason. I of course at the time of the rest of series being released heard about what was going on and it really didn't compel me back to the series.

I hate how the series pivoted to complex geopolitical conflicts with Marley, Eren's whole ouroboros about trying to fight change, etc.

What drove me to love this series initially was the whole post-apocalyptic mystery of the world. Humanity fighting for its survival against monsters. And as the series goes on and slowly points the monsters to being man-made that made it even cooler. The possible authoritarian society established to subjugate the majority of Eldian's through fear, oppression and isolation. Suggesting that this was a sort of ploy from the rich and powerful of Eldian to stay powerful. Perhaps even a punishment from years ago for a potential civil war they created. Or that the corps even have this tier system where the scouts are used as pawns to die while the other corps closer to the inner walls don't come close to the scouts.

It just felt like a whole different series when they involved the Marlians. I'm not even fully against the premise of some sort of war, etc. If it stayed within the themes of what the series was originally.

Perhaps I’ll stick more to the designer/popular niche side of perfumery.

I tested the likes of pineward, Filippo Sorcelini, zoologist, Orto Parisi, etc. You get the idea. I’ll admit, I was going for my dark, broody, sad florals. And while some were quite interesting, some I may even consider buying (if only they lasted or projected longer). A lot smelt like butt ass (I’m looking at you But Not Today).

It was a nice little step out of the comfort zone but I suppose it isn’t for me.

I know it’s fairly talked about but for me it’s Encre Noir. I remember buying it as a blind buy 3 years ago and absolutely loved it.

It just screamed a foggy, thick forest that was freshly rained upon. The soil is moist and moss surrounds you. Do I wear it a lot? Absolutely not, but i love smelling it.

It's so difficult for me to truly be dogmatic following my 'progressive' noble officer playthrough (first time playing the game). I just dont have it in me to kill people off or go through dogmatic routes.

Iconoclast dialogue just make the most sense to me. The only dogmatic thing that genuinely felt right was glassing the planet in act one, only because emperor knows there are things far worse then death and that is a daemon world.

A month ago I decided to finally jump onto Grok and see what everyone was touting it about. (Supergrok).

Genuinely the most censored waste of money ever. Like video rejections for fucking bikini’s seriously? Funny, Elon’s hypocritical ass touting Grok’s ability yet it feels like it’s been lobotomized and severely handicapped.

I had been invited to this game months ago, maybe a full year at this point but never really got to it.

Keep in mind I’ve been a Overwatch lover for years now and have heard some people say that Deadlock had some Overwatch aspects and of course as someone in the gaming space I never payed much mind to it due to that label. I’ve always seen the occasional clips here and there.

Now I decided to finally try it after every single game I’ve touched the past week has brought me no joy and my gosh.

This game is an absolute blast. Games like this and Overwatch have pulled me in for the world, the character’s the lore. And man character’s in deadlock seem really well made. From design, to voices to overall character kits. And the game seems so well polished, for a closed alpha too. What have I been missing out.
