12/11/24- Bloodborne deserves its own movie (and deserves better in general)

When I first saw a post way back when Margot Robbie announce the possibility of a Sims 4 movie, the news of it left me...confused. For one, what would a Sims 4 movie even be about? It's a life-sim--the player makes their own story if they so choose. Though there are some bits of lore and mysteries that are movie material, like the dissapearance of Bella Goth, or all of Strangetown for that matter. I'm gonna be cynical about this and guess that it'll be one of those 'This sim living their regular life discoveres they're being controlled by this eldritch 'god' and their whole world falls apart-- but by the end they appreciate their life and whatever free- will they gain. This is somehow an encaptulation of the human experience.'.

Either way, it got me thinking--in the spirit of making video games into movies and tv...(Uncharted, Minecraft, Sonic, Pokemon, The Last of Us, Mortal Kombat, Mario Bros, ect. ect.) I say we add Bloodborne on that list! With Guillermo del Toro as director obviously.

I'm by no means an expert in how movies are made or who gets hired to direct--but I believe that del Toro and Bloodborne are a perfect match! No one else is worthy of undertaking such a feat.

I can see it now: the beautiful gothic set design--with the ground wet from both the rain and the blood spilled from the slain Yharnamites. The sprawling, labyrinth-like city design with the towers stretching up to the red sky. Old Yharnam, Eileen the Crow's storyline. THE CLOCK TOWER??? And oh my gosh, the themes in Bloodborne are right up his alley. Man someone's gotta tell Guillermo del Toro ASAP, I don't care if he's working on a movie right now--this is more important.

And to be HONEST--with Sony's atrocious handling of the IP--Sony, if you are reading this. Do not think I've forgotten what you did to Nightmare Kart. I think a movie could be a major positive for the game (if it turns out well) it could also cause a major influx of new players and revitalize the game overall. Only good here! No negatives.

2/3/24-Saying Good-bye to Big Mac!

Today was an important, albeit average day. A while back my brother brought me an injured pigeon that was hanging outside an O'Rileys, their wing was busted but not so bad that it wasn't able to heal anymore.

I took it in and named it Big Mac--because they were so chunky you could hold them like a burger. Big Mac had trouble settling in but got used to being indoors, they perched and took a liking to pigeon feed. For a while he could barely flap his wings and had to walk and hop to move around.

Throughout the months, his wing slowly healed--and he would show this by flapping his wings repeatedly, stirring up dust and making my room a little chilly for a while. And today I felt it was ready to let them go--so they could set out and fly again. But it was freezing cold outside by the time he healed--so it left us with a longer waiting period.

Until today that is. I felt it was ready for him to get on outta here. The weather was perfectly nice and sunny with a light breeze, the sun started to set around the time we set him free but still it felt nice. He stood atop the roof of a garage, just looking around and then it took off. I tried to race after him to see him before he left for good. But by the time I got to the front yard he was gone.

I'm gonna miss Big Mac, even if he was a pain to clean after and hated people. It was nice to see that they recovered well. And to be honest-- I was ready to not have to clean after him anymore!

So goodbye, Big Mac :') like chilling at a parking lot or a park or something idk where that guy lives.
