Season 2: Innocence l

This is my first time watching the entirety of Season 2. Last night, I finished "Innocence". I didn't expect this to happen, but I started crying when Buffy had expectations of Giles being upset with her because of Angel, but instead he's empathetic.

Buffy: You must be so disappointed in me.

Giles: No. No. No, I'm not.

Buffy: This is all my fault.

Giles: ...if it's guilt you're looking for, Buffy, I'm-I'm not your man. All you will get from me is, is my support... and my respect.

United Center: best section for 100 level?

I haven't been to a concert in ages and I haven't been to the United Center before. I want something in the 100 level section from most wanted to least: 110, 102, 112, 103, 109, or 121.

I'm afraid of being too close to the stage because the music may be too loud. Am I right about that? But I still want decent sound quality.

I also heard floor seats can be a pain if you're shorter than the person in front of you.

Any opinions would be appreciated. Thanks.

A few thoughts on Season 6...(Spoilers)

I used to watch Season 6 for the Dark Willow episodes.

​

This time I watched the entire season.

​

Buffy and Spike are so repulsive. 🤦🏻 I understand why she did it. I do feel sympathy for her. I'm glad she decided to stop it with him.

​

The musical episode (I typically hate musicals) was fun to watch. I paid more attention to what they were letting others know.

​

I enjoyed watching Anya and hearing her silly comments throughout the season. I was somewhat shocked when Xander left her. (He's a bitch for that). I'm glad she didn't get anyone to pull off a "wish" on him.

​

Then I noticed what an amazing character Tara is. She's the down to earth friend who's calm and nonjudgmental. I get why Willow loved her so much...

​

"Seeing Red" is one of the most traumatic episodes. I can't believe more people haven't brought up Spike's SA against Buffy! I can't believe that Tara got killed!

​

Now, I can feel Willow's pain.

It hurts to watch her destroy herself by using the Dark Arts especially because she's consumed by vengeance.

Could y'all help me figure out my skin type?

After washing my face with water and dabbing it with a dry towel I waited for 30 minutes to an hour. My skin felt dry. However, during the day my skin starts to feel very oily because I sweat a lot. I'm not sure which products to get anymore or which skin type I have.

I used a moisturizing lotion for the first time yesterday. My skin felt like I put dabs of oil on it. Lol.

After applying my foundation and letting it sit I thought it looked a bit cakey.

What are your thoughts and suggestions? Is my skin dry, oily, or a combo?

My cheeks are where I feel the most oily.

Is it normal for prep products to have this effect and for my skin to feel raw after makeup removal?

I'm a beginner at preparing for makeup and using makeup. Today, I did my first routine. I used the products in the images. I did half of my face with IL Makiage and the other side I left bare. Although, my entire face had the preparation products on. I was at a store today and while there I was sweating from anxiety. The side with makeup felt ok, but the side without started to burn my right eye. Is it normal for preparation products to do this?

After I came home I set the right side of my face with another foundation (I wanted to compare the two). I kept them both on for a few hours. I removed the makeup and I noticed a couple hours later that my skin felt raw. I cried tonight because of some unrelated issues, but my tears stung my face a bit. I found that unusual.

I'm assuming it's the E.L.F. serum that's causing this issue, but I'm not certain because this is my first time using any of these products.

Do y'all have any suggestions?

Products: SPF 30 Deep Repair Facial Moisturizer, Purifying Foaming Facial Cleanser, and E.L.F. Holy Hydration Triple Bounce Serum

My skull circumference is about 23 inches...

I've been looking on Amazon and I'm not sure where the circumference information is located. I received a wig today, but it's too small. Does anyone know where to look for the details on Amazon?

Reflecting on hook ups

I thought about some of my past hook ups. I've had mostly good ones, but there have been a few awkward ones too. For instance, one of my regulars I've seen for more than a year tried topping me on two separate occasions. On both tries he prematurely ejaculated every time his cock came near my butt.

There was a different encounter where this premature ejaculation happened while we were making out.

During those situations I felt disappointed, but now I find it funny that it happened. These two guys are both in their 50's and have experience with men. It all came as a surprise. Lol.

Y'all have any awkward moments or funny hook ups? Please share them.

My therapist cancelled our appointment...

It was about 5 minutes before our session. He lost his father a month ago and the feelings of grief surfaced for him. I said it was ok and to let me know at least an hour ahead of time next time. It was a bit awkward because I know how painful it is to lose someone, but I didn't want to break the fine line between a patient and their therapist.

I wanted to comfort him so I sent him a link. It's from a videogame.

A son tells his dad, "Let's make a promise. I'll listen to your voice in my head when you're not there to guide me. And you do the same all right?"

I started to cry a bit afterwards. I didn't tell him why I sent the link. I left it at that. I hope he figures it out.

It's his dad's celebration of life this weekend.

Was the whole situation appropriate?

I'm doing a voiceover for a video of mine. I'm using a HyperX Quad Cast 2. It's better than using my laptop's mic, however I've noticed there are still the echoes whenever I talk.

I only have the free version of Davinci Resolve. Is there any way for me to get rid of the reverb?

It's been a while, but I played it again and I enjoyed it. That surprised me because I didn't care too much for the Remake, but I'll be playing that soon to see if the changes played a factor into that.

Anyway, with the OG the gameplay was fun. I enjoyed it when it came out and I still like it in present times. Doing the roundhouse kicks and watching Leon do his backflips was entertaining. He was Daddy AF. I loved using the Mine Thrower and Rifle. I'll have to try out the TMP sometime.

I didn't find Ashley as annoying. In the game's initial release I hated her. Now, she's all right. The only time she truly gets underneath my skin is when she's locked up and constantly screaming for Leon. Otherwise, she's a cute and campy character. I was cut off guard when she called Leon a, "Pervert". Lol (I jumped to a lower level and came back to get her).

I love how Ada was a baddie in this one. She was elegant and sexy, but didn't fuck around and could stand her own ground. E.G. when Leon chokes her and she stabs him in the leg.

There were slight moments when it seemed like the game was dragging on, but it wasn't too bad. The main story was told in a way that wasn't over the top. It gave just enough information to keep me intrigued and wanting to play more.

Overall, I give the game a 9/10.

What did you think of OG RE4?

I played this game when it came out on the PS2. Idr if I beat because this is a highly difficult game. It goes from "standard" difficulty to hard without warning. What helped me is that I'm used to making multiple saves in different slots vs saving over the same one many times.

Anyway, I was intrigued by this game since it's been so long. I had vague memories of Wesker. Especially, when Claire initially meets him. I immediately thought: "This is corny. He's a superhuman now". I had similar thoughts when I was younger. I even remembered Wesker having that conversation with him in the lab full of frozen B.O.W.s. Wesker wasn't a selling point for me.

What I enjoyed the most about this game's main story was the Ashfords. They're probably my favorite villains in this series. They aren't boring and predictable like Wesker and they're not entirely B.O.W.s both of them have personalities that are different from the antagonists in the RE series.

I found it sad to see Steve die. Yeah, he was cheesy and creepy at times (trying to kiss Claire while she was sleeping...), but he kept trying to save her even when he mutated into the monster. 😭

What I didn't like was the default difficulty and how people could soft lock themselves in this game because it became so difficult. I've read that many have raged quit too. I don't blame them. The boss fights were ridiculous. I'm not sure what the creators of this game were thinking.

The unexpected item switch was not helpful. I'm truly grateful I'm accustomed to making multiple saves. Oh, the sudden need to kill that worm without much time in between was not a pleasant surprise. If the wait was too long the lighter would no longer be available to Chris. SMH.

Overall, if it weren't for the Ashfords IDK if I would have put much effort into completing the game. Steve and Wesker were corny. Although, it was great to see Claire and Chris unite.

I doubt I'll play this game again. It took me a while to defeat the final boss. Her third form took me many tries. I used 6 Magnum shots to her upper body and 6 shotgun bullets too. This was followed by maybe 30 regular arrows...

Trying to shoot her with the laser cannon was a challenge too. I'm not sure what they were trying to accomplish with this game. It did answer my question: How come no one ever talks about Code Veronica X?

Here's a quick tip for the beginners. If it's too dark to see turn your monitor's brightness up. I had to. Their intention wasn't to have people use the lighter like people claim. It was a terrible update to HD.

I give this a 4.5/10.

I typically prefer to use them once before the first boss fight, another when I've reached the sewers because it can be difficult down there and if I die there's a lot of progress lost, and my last one before the second boss fight because it's the most difficult boss.

I find NEST aka the laboratory the easiest to play through and I don't think G3 is too difficult to fight. The final bosses are easy for either player.

---edit ---

I made the second save after getting the Magnum and before heading towards the queen and King pieces. My final save is before the 3rd boss.
