Question Concerning Reviews

While it is true I do not think anyone actually reads this, I still feel like putting a question out there. Is there any interest in a game reviewer sharing the complete review playthrough? For a different reason than just doing it, I have done this before, and I honestly like the idea of doing it more. I mean, even if no one watches it, does it not demonstrate an interest in transparency? If it is watched then it can demonstrate the reviewer's opinion, and perhaps more importantly, how the opinion may change over time. Sometimes your view and opinion of a game can change as you play, and this would capture it. Additionally, there are sometimes things that are forgotten by the reviewer that this can capture. Personally, if I forget something when writing a review, I just chalk it up to not being that important (at least to me) and do not worry about it.
Anyway, if nothing else, consider the question privately about if the reviewer sharing the experience is actually desirable, if only so a public record exists.

Lesson on Division

I'm actually trying to be early this week!
Anyway, a thought occurred to me that I feel like sharing, even if this will not be read by anyone. (Maybe I'll be able to stick in a story too, so it can be not-read there also.) The thought was just remembering how division works in mathematics and that it, like the other operations, requires two components; the numerator and the denominator.
I think the reason I remembered this basic math lesson is because of how much talk there has been about people becoming more divided, and invariably whenever this is discussed, a cause for the division is also identified. That cause is like the denominator, the component that divides the other. What is forgotten though is the numerator, the part that is divided.
Now, people are not numbers, which I feel is important to remember because as persons we can decide if we are divided or not. Whatever someone says or does, it was, is, and will be our choice to walk away from others, figuratively or literally. The trick is that walking away from the denominator is still walking away, and so doing that is itself division. We do not need to agree or condone, but we can stand where we are and find ways to be closer to others.
We, ourselves are individuals. As persons we cannot be taken a part with one set of thoughts over there and our principals over there. To do so would be dangerous and destructive. Be careful to not let that happen, for to compromise our own individuality, as some do desire, is to fall to division.

A Waste of Time?

How often do you wonder why you do certain things? I recently finished going through and making revisions and even adding an entire section to a document that I am aware might never be used again. I know there is an amount of self-satisfaction to this, as I am improving something I created over a year ago, but that satisfaction is the only benefit that might be had. That is kind of sad, but I suspect this is something many if not everyone who reads this might be able to give their own example of.
Actually, as I stop and think about the different things I do, a lot of them are just for my own satisfaction, because I have the curiously bad luck of being interested in doing things other people do not care about, or at least those who might see the results of my efforts. What might be the saddest part about this is I'm used to it.

Back to the Norm

This past week was my last working this Summer, or at least the last scheduled. With luck I will have more work in the near future, but that is not exactly how things have been for years, so I can hardly expect them to change. At least I have a number of projects in mind of different kinds and purposes, so I'll be keeping busy, whether I get paid for any of my time or not.
Oh, but possibly the best part is I won't need to get up so early.
