My doctor switched me from Sertraline to Paroxetine out of hopes that starting tomorrow there won’t be any more late night insomnia posting from me.

I learned today that I should think before speaking. I almost lost a good friend today.

Going to go to sleep soon, feeling miserable, again.

God I hate having to deal with insomnia.

Fortunately, I also have a vitamin D deficiency so I just stop taking my vitamins to crush the insomnia under intense fatigue.

… I really need to talk to my doctor again.

I saw the new Batman and … My Spoiler Free review… No Spoilers… I am mixed about it. Down right conflicted.

Cons : I really disliked most of the cinematography, direction, and so on. Too much static. I think they were going for a gritty feel, but it just felt cluttered. It was super long. And the Riddler was… disappointing.

Pros : something about it was good. It did feel more like Batman to me than the Nolan franchise. When Batman is fighting, it seems more real to me. If Robert Pattinson is doing the fighting and some of the stunts, I am surprised, and kudos. I was on the verge of sleeping for most of the movie, but when he starts fighting, it is pretty good. It just looks more realistic than the Nolan movies.

It is strange, because I almost want to split Batman and Bruce Wayne. I think Christian Bale makes a good Bruce Wayne and Robert Pattinson is a horrible Bruce Wayne (way too emo). But I liked Robert Pattinson’s Batman better than Bale’s Batman.

Meanwhile, Michael Keaton did both Bruce Wayne and Batman the best. So the rest are sort of pretenders.

TLDR - the movie sucked and I wouldn’t watch it again - but not because of Robert Pattinson. I went in there thinking he would be a ridiculous Batman, but his Batman was the best thing about it. He wasn’t bad at it.

Btw, I have never seen a Twilight movie, before people say I only like Pattinson as Batman because of some fandom.

No idea who does or doesn’t like Markiplier, but I thought I’d post this here anyway.

If nothing else, I think the trailer looks pretty good. It’s got a good mix of his silly/serious thing going on.

Wowhead is now blocked in China, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, Turkey, and Serbia, for legal reasons. Feel bad.

I have the biggest crush on Markiplier.

Stay safe, Shern.

so basically if Shern is not on a reusable sub he’s going to be unsubbed very soon with no option to pay for a sub.

Shern seems mostly light hearted, and makes me laugh now and then. Though the few times he seems serious, I disagree with him…

I hope things settle down, for everyone’s sake.

It is sad that the West and the Global Community has few options other than sanctions, or escalate into WW3. Putin cares nothing for his people, and the people will be hurt most by sanctions. But maybe his fellow Oligarchs will beg him to stop, when they can’t spend their wealth outside of Russia. Not that he cares about them, either.

All that aside, I wonder what the WoW Gold to Ruble conversion rate would be…

Currently, 185,000 Gold = $15 bucks as far as Blizz Balance. That’s about 12,334 Gold per Dollar. The Ruble is about a penny. So I guess a Ruble would equal about 124 gold.

That’s an understatement of the year. I am disappointed in this community

What happened now? Or just a general statement?

I saw Uncharted today.

It takes a lot of suspension of disbelief to apply video game physics to movies. It’s hard to watch someone dangle from an airplane and run along crates to move upwards against gravity going 80mph. We all know video game characters have rubber bones, but it just looks silly irl when people survive falls that would realistically shatter every bone in your body at the moment of impact and they just brush it off without a scratch.

No spoilers but there’s this one scene where a girl is talking to a guy and she’s like 20 feet away from him the whole time but somehow she manages to steal something out of his backpack and I’m still trying to figure out how I’m supposed to pretend she somehow pickpocketed him. Other than that it’s 6/10.

I hear the new Batman movie is okay too. It’s one of those turn your brain off and don’t think to hard about it movies

One thing I really did like about Uncharted was the cinematography and the set design.

I saw the Batman trailer but the only thing I was interested in is seeing Zoë Kravitz as Selina Kyle, wow what perfect casting.
