I posted a video to the Jits Dad Facebook page. If you want to watch it before reading this, please do so now, I’ll wait. Also if you don’t follow the Facebook page, you should. It is where I post videos and other shenanigans before making official posts on the blog.
So what did you think about this video? I really like the button masher analogy myself. If you have no idea what I am talking about, you didn’t watch the video. I’m trying really hard to be less of a button masher. At the very least, I’m trying to think at least 1 move ahead with a possible second when I totally fuck up the first one. Oh and housekeeping note, I’m done masking swears. If by chance the blog gets picked up for syndication, I will deal with the swears at that time. Until then, in the spirit of the late great George Carlin in his very particular order, I give you the 7 dirty words:
- Shit
- Piss
- Cunt
- Fuck
- Motherfucker
- Cocksucker
- and Tits
Ok, button smashing. Button smashing goes along with survival. At some point though, you have to make a conscious effort to open yourself up to getting choked the fuck out in the spirit of trying to be even somewhat strategic. Up to this point though, I can report back that I’m experiencing more of the choke side than the strategy. Which naturally makes you feel like you are getting worse when in fact you are getting better. It is a new growth curve. And that is where I feel like I am today. At the very bottom of a new growth curve. Not because I am any better than I was say a month ago, but because I made the choice to at least entertain the idea of not being such a button smasher.
Unfortunately there is no cheat code either. Just keep getting smashed and enjoy the moments when you are not, because as the saying goes, even the sun shines on a dog’s asshole some days.
Here is the cheat for Galaga next time you find a machine. Pretty rad eh?
Destroy all the ships except for the two in the lower left corner of the formation. Avoid the ships as they dive and fire at you until they no longer fire. The enemy will not shoot at you for the rest of the game.
We have successfully complete a post without mention of balls or stank. Well, except for the mention of the non-mention.
Keep on truckin’.
