This is gonna sound weird and out of the blue, but it has to be said: Kink Shaming is bad.

Blindly hating on someone for having a fetish for something you find disgusting is just wrong. You are judging somebody negatively solely for a kink they enjoy that you don't. The only acceptable way to truly judge someone is by how they act. If they are an actual jerk and maybe rub their kinks in your face while being a creep about it, then fair game.

Under whatever kinks they're into, they could be a nice person.

I'm bringing this up because some random individual just blindly started hating on me solely for a kink I have, even stooping so low as to say they are glad my Twitter account got suspended and hope that my relatives find out.

I'm not rubbing my kinks in anyone's face, so I'm not hurting anyone, yet these people act like I am when it was their own fault for looking and judging me solely for it. Nobody needs to know about one's kinks unless they are genuinely curious and hopefully won't judge them because of it.

If someone being into a kink you don't like genuinely upsets you and "hurts" you... I'm sorry, but you aren't being the better person here. I have many kinks I don't like, but I don't see those who enjoy them as terrible people. I just mind my own business. As should you.

Stop hating someone for kink interests alone. It's stuff like that which resulted in a popular YouTuber (who I shall not name) vanishing from the internet because people learned of his fetish for something and mocked/judged him blindly for it. Let them enjoy it; they aren't being all up in your face about it, so leave them alone. If you can't deal with it, then sorry, but you should just leave and move on. Everybody's got a kink for something.

Welp, after nearly 8 years putting up with a rubbish PC, I've finally gotten a new one with better specs for gaming. Cost $800 AUD and was built by a friend of my Uncle.

Had some issues at first like the screen not displaying (and of course it was all courtesy of the wrong cable in the wrong place), but now things are working alright. All I need is a hard drive to store my old PC's stuff on to move over to my new one.

Only game I got to test so far was ROBLOX (yes, I've finally gotten back into playing it, been playing since September last year) and the performance is quite promising - it runs buttery-smooth in all places I played, though admittedly there were minor frame hiccups, but they were in certain areas only and those minor choppy moments went away when I turned down the Graphics by a couple of bars.

When I was playing ROBLOX on my old PC, I had the Graphics Quality cranked all the way down to two, and it was poor framerates in most cases, even when playing Windowed. With my new one, I have Graphics on all the way to 10 and I play in Fullscreen. It runs like a dream.

Once I've gotten my old stuff onto my PC, all is dandy. And hopefully in the future I can look into upgrading my PC, something I considered doing for my old one which went unchanged throughout its entire lifespan. My Uncle's friend seems more than happy to do the upgrading!

Looking forward to what else my new baby is capable of running!

I am deeply saddened by the news from yesterday of Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville no longer getting any updates.

Despite its flaws, I was enjoying the game like I did with Garden Warfare 1 & Garden Warfare 2. I loved how it received monthly content drops, making it more consistent than what GW1 & GW2 offered. But I had a feeling this seemed too good to be true... and like with GW2, there remains many things in the game's files that will never see the light of day, like the Iceberg Lettuce class for the Plants.

The game's cancellation likely wouldn't have happened, or at least not this soon if EA had invested more in advertising the game and had more people working on it. With how much the game failed (it REALLY pains me to say that), I feel there won't be another Plants vs. Zombies Shooter... maybe there will be more PvZ games, but just not anything of the shooter genre. That possibility really hits me hard because the PvZ Shooter games are what made me come to really admire the franchise and inspire me to make a dark reimagining of it.

The PvZ Shooters get nowhere near as enough credit as they truly deserve. The concept of a Shooter game for PvZ will forever remain one of the most creative ideas in gaming of all time in my eyes. Like, before GW1 happened, any fan of PvZ would most likely think a shooter game would be the last genre PvZ, a series renowned for the legendary award-winning tower defense game from 2009, would ever have a game of, yet PopCap surprised everyone by making that unexpected concept a reality and making it WORK.

The PvZ Shooters will forever hold a special place in the gaming side of my heart. They've given me hours of amusement from the mid-to-late 2010s. To think the franchise was only 5 years old (technically 4) at the time when Garden Warfare 1 launched back in early 2014. Now it's 11 whopping years old. My friendship with Dan-the-Countdowner wasn't even a year old yet when GW1 launched; now our friendship is only 3 years away from being a decade old!

I can only hope for the best for this fun, cute and hilarious IP in the future... if someday EA gets themselves into a serious financial mess and have no choice but to sell IPs to keep themselves afloat, I hope whoever buys PopCap/their IPs/just Plants vs. Zombies will treat PvZ with great care, whether it means getting another shooter or having a proper return to form that made the 2009 Tower Defense legend so amazing.

Thank you, PopCap, for 6 years of memories and inspiring me with my big imagination to help amuse myself when I'm stuck with nothing to do to pass the time. Godspeed to everyone involved, as well as to the franchise to keep on bringing smiles and memories to its fans, as well as inspiring them, for years to come.
