Happy Christmas & Happy New Year 2024 to all TPU members and readers.

Ok I am f'ing drunk right now. The Creative 2.1 is resonating with some sweet Reggae. I have been thinking of what effect TPU has had on me since I lost magazines and found TPIU to scratch my itch. First I hold no negative for users like Gica that call my posts BS. I just want us all to take a minute to reflect how the positive aspects of TPU make this site special.

We are all human and that experience is good if you focus on the right things. Video Games are at a place where we should be salivating. There is the fact that most AAA Games come unfinished but there are so many Games in the human experience that is Gaming that that does not really matter. I know BG3 won most awards because it was actually finished but Armored Core 6 was insane, Homeworld 3 will be good and Dragons Dogma 2 and Space Marine 2 are on my radar. I am currently exploring Pandora and the World of Warhammer but I want all of you to know that you help to keep sanity for me as I am a melancholy person with the state of the world. I wish we just used the content of our character to judge people instead of what the narrative gives us but I appreciate all of you that like and respond to me and even those that disagree with me.

So again with genuine intent to all Merry Chirstmas and may we have more fun in 2024.
