Why Breaks ARE Important!
Balancing life is super vital.
Life is a delicate dance, and balancing work, play, and relaxation is super vital. Sometimes, we need to step away from the desk, unplug, and recharge.
Gaming shouldn’t feel like a chore—it’s an escape, a way to unwind, and a chance to connect with friends. Whether you’re exploring distant galaxies or battling the Banished, it’s all about enjoying the journey.
Quality time with friends is essential. Gaming isn’t just about pixels and quests; it’s about shared experiences. Invite your friends to join you in epic battles, virtual races, or cooperative missions. Laugh, strategise, and create memories together. 🎮🤝
Remember, life isn’t a speed run. Take breaks, breathe in fresh air, and appreciate the beauty around you. Whether it’s a walk in the park, a chat with a loved one, or simply gazing at the sky, these moments rejuvenate our souls.
It’s not about quitting gaming—it’s about finding that sweet spot where pixels and reality coexist. 🌟🎮

Why Can't We Stop Thinking About the Bad Stuff?
Ever wonder why you dwell on the bad news instead of the good? It's not your fault! Our brains are wired for negativity bias, an evolutionary trait that helped us survive but can hold us back today. Learn about negativity bias, how it affects you.

As we level up in life, our relationship with gaming evolves. Often we all tend not to be able to play as much as we used to. We might even fall out of love with it.

From Blunder to Wonder: A Tale of Two Clips in XDefiant
Ubisoft's highly anticipated shooter XDefiant this time round has been so enjoyable– it's been a battleground for sure.
It's been ages since a beta has genuinely excited me, and despite its quirks (yes, there are a few), XDefiant so far has delivered an epic experience to enjoy with your squad!
In this highlight, witness my rollercoaster ride from a hilarious blunder to an epic clip wielding the Purifier and then followed up by the SVD.
I think many people are very keen to find out when this game will launch. Personally I'm more than happy to wait for a little while if it means that we get a complete experience on launch day!
Do I think that it will be a replacement for current FPS games, well leave a comment and I will share my opinion on that matter.
Want more XDefiant madness? Let me know in the comments as well if you're keen on seeing more gameplay once the game hits our game libraries!
I wish the server test latest a little longer but, it's all about having a blast online!

You can Influence YOUR Own Change
Being mindful of our mental health is crucial. Personally, I've found immense value in reflecting on my past experiences-the highs and lows that have shaped my life. While it's not always easy, I consciously try to avoid dwelling on the past. There comes a point when we must prioritise self-care.
Learn to love yourself more-it's not selfish; in fact, it empowers you to be better and extend that positivity to others. Life was never meant to be a smooth ride; it's a journey we all embark upon. Some sail through with fewer bumps, while others face struggles.
Remember: Life is a journey, and that's perfectly okay. 🌟
When you lose control, everything else seems to crumble. So, stay authentic and true to yourself!
As John F. Kennedy wisely said, "Change is the law of life. Those who look only to the past or the present are certain to miss the future." ☯
Believe in yourself-you've got this! 💪♥

Life is Full of Struggles - Learn to Love Yourself
Self Love is not easy!
Your subconscious mind is truly powerful. Self Reflection is a crucial part of any healing process.
Especially when life seems to have gone all wrong!
Remember you are NOT a burden, don't be afraid to reach out ever!
The people that care about you would rather you "bothered" them.
Think before you act. Breathe. Grieving never goes to plan.
Do what ever you can to cope. Just make sure it's helpful and not destructive.
Find the right supports!
Stay strong, stay true!

Mindsets can have Great Influence
Mindsets can be all consuming. Recently I've been on a journey of emotional healing and, it's not easy.
Personal growth comes in many ways and may not only be influenced by your environment, reflecting on the bad times in a different mindset has done wonders for my mental health and, has changed my whole perception of the world around me.
So, take a moment to reflect on your struggles, if done the right way it can make you a lot stronger in the long run.
Don't forget to be kinder to yourself and learn to love yourself!
Thoughts are POWERFUL!

I'm truly overwhelmed with all the love and encouragement that has been showered upon my channel. I know it sounds cliché but your positive feedback, kind comments, and unwavering support have changed my perspective of this place.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for showing me that the internet isn't always a dark place full of nonsense. I know 307 subscribers might not seem like a lot to most people but, I consider that small number to be an incredible community.
Whether you’ve liked, shared, or left uplifting messages, each interaction continues to fuel my passion for creating content and connect with people.

The Internet will Consume You! (Don't Let It!)
In an era where connectivity knows no bounds, the internet has become an integral part of our daily existence. From communicating in an instant to endless information at our fingertips, it’s hard to imagine life without this digital gem. But is it all sunshine and rainbows? Of course not!
Like anything in life, overindulgence leads to negative consequences.
We need to be cautious while engaging online.
Remember, moderation is key!

Updates are SAVING Games Right Now!
I recently noticed that a lot of games are coming out with some really good updates lately.
Halo Infinite just released its mid-season update on December 5th, which added a new mode called Firefight: King of the Hill. Which challenges you to capture and hold hills against waves of Banished enemies. You can also face off against a boss from the campaign.
Payday 3 also dropped its first DLC expansion on December 12th, called Syntax Error. This DLC introduces a new enemy AI called SINS, which can coordinate and target any group of drones. You’ll need to infiltrate their base and hack their system before they can stop you. 💻
It's a good time to be a gamer right now!

Game Publishers CAN'T Ignore this
Just a quick one covering the Optus Outage that left 10 Million customers without access to mobile phones and internet causing disruptions to many intuitions of Government, a train network, and many important aspects of our lives.
Hopefully it's a lesson that can be learnt from especially for Gaming Publishers that online only needs many backup plans.

Deadlines are Destroying Games
The holiday season is approaching and it's supposed to be a time of joy and celebration, but for many gamers, it can also be a time of disappointment and frustration. Why? Because many publishers and developers rush their games to meet the holiday deadline, resulting in buggy, unfinished, low-quality products.
I will explore a few examples of this worrying trend of release now, fix later, and how it affects the gaming industry and the gamers. There's a few examples of such disaster launches such as Halo Infinite, Cyberpunk 2077, and Payday 3. And I ask the question: what if game deadlines weren't so strict? Would the gaming industry be in better shape? Would we get better games?
If you enjoy this video, please leave a like and subscribe to my channel for more content like this.
Thank you for watching and happy holidays!

Is Artificial Intelligence the Future for Video Games?
Artificial Intelligence is taking the world by storm and I believe video games will follow suit. But what does AI really mean in this context, and how is it evolving to create more immersive and realistic gaming experiences?
Will Machine Learning Algorithms have positive or negative effects on games of the future?
And does AI have a promising future in video games?

How Developers Are Failing to Protect Gamers
Are Developers Failing Gamers?
I'm talking about how some of the classic Call of Duty games and the TitanFall games have serious security vulnerabilities that can compromise your data and privacy.

I will also discuss why developers are failing to protect gamers from these threats and I'll offer my opinions on what should be done.

Are Unintended Exploits Healthy for Video Games? (Video Essay)
Depending on who you ask Game exploits are a fine line between skill and cheating.
Game exploits are glitches or loopholes that allow players to sometimes gain an unfair advantage or perform actions not intended by the game developers. Some gamers use them to speed run, troll, or experiment with the game mechanics, while others consider them cheating and believe it is ruining the game experience.
In this video, I would like to discuss some game exploits and share my thoughts.
I will also ask you, the viewers, to share your opinions on whether game exploits belong in games today or should be eliminated entirely. Watch the video and join the conversation!
