I've probably never made this clear over this media source; so let me just spell some shit out for anyone reading this that doesn't know me (everyone but one person who probably isn't reading this).
I'm what you'd consider a geek/nerd even though I don't consider myself that type of person - I feel "normal" but I can't talk to "normies" so I've become the hermit that I am.
Due to this seclusion I have focused inwards (mostly mentally, because I am currently an alcoholic, fat piece of shit with "friends" who don't talk to me and I don't talk to).
Recently (read: ~8 months) ago I 'cracked' my neighbours Wifi password using my Dad's linux distro and bonding which I'm extremely happy for, we have honestly become closer discussing the type of havoc you could wreak on someone with what we are technically capable of; unfortunately for both of us we have a conscience and a belief in Karma (somewhat).
Currently I sit on a pile of journals filled with other's personal information that I could definitely use to enrich myself and half sketched plans of "robberies" that I spend a lot of my time thinking about while I'm shopping with my meager amount of money I earn currently.
I'm at the point where I realize I'm a fucking monster who isn't able to function within a normal society and I am about to start embracing that. I only wish I could find a someone to be monstrous with because soon I'll be too scary to attract normal people to be my friends.

DRM
DRM
When I was a teenager my main source of gaming was because of pirating games through torrents, I knew this was not necessarily a good thing for the creators of that game but I did not have the money to purchase the game anyways; somehow in my mind that justified it at the time.
Later in life when I have a lot of hypothetical money I figured it would be morally and karma fixing to switch (or mainly) purchase games either online or in hard copy format. I have bought games I have pirated in the past even without the intention of playing them again initially because of the enjoyment I had from them in the past; the Total War series is a good example of this, I honestly wish I had bought the game earlier so that I would have a record of my hours sunk into Medieval II.
Right now I'm frustrated though, the majority of the time when I have bought a game that I enjoyed previously pirated I have to deal with either intrusive, always online, or plain game-breaking DRM problems (my own computer crashing aside). Having to create a million profiles for each different company is starting to get annoying, I already gave them cash do they need all my contact information now too? I don't want more fucking ads, usually people just use a burner email anyways and then you're screwed if you need to continue using it because you just want to play a game which you could play much more easily with a crack.
I sometimes feel as though I have burned my money for an inferior product...but you can't really compare to free in general, but making someone feel bad for seemingly doing something good is ...well... common I guess but still. Christ. Fuck you Stardock, I just wanted to play Sins.

New Format Testing
What's the topic?
Improving this blog "Desolate and Full of Yearning" (DAFOY).
What is the blog about?
Why should I write it and continue to maintain it?
Is it benefitting me to write this or is it leading myself into thinking traps because I just think like that
Thoughts
DAFOY is lacking is actual substance material; I'm not re-reading my posts like I always do when I come back to this but I can recall its filled with myself bitching about being lonely and fat.
Surprisingly this isn't the only topic I talk about, just one that I feel comfortable talking about without sources and cites because I need to justify myself usually. I might have to forgo that to ensure that what I start typing will actually have words on it. Topics I can and should be talking about:
Nazi's and WW2 History; I make references to historical events from this in everyday conversation.
Illegal Drugs and the Drug War, particularly in reference to psychedelics and their potential therapeutic uses. I tend to talk people's ears off with this.
Canada's Health System (Previous Nursing Student, Currently in Health Information Management) I like Healthcare. I might have to do projects on certain topics anyways.
Exercise and Fitness, after being away from serious attempts to maintain active living I'd like to go back and research it again for some posts more seriously and hopefully kick my butt into gear again.
Gaming and Misc; I can't think of something else right now so maybe stories about myself playing games. or specific funny events.
So then...?
I must return to DAFOY with a specific topic in mind (more specific than "Nazis", example being "Operation Sealion").
I should have read up on the topic before hand so that I can type fluently and with ease.
Limit the number of references to yourself (i.e. stop using "I").
Hopefully all of this will improve the quality of writing produced here by DAFOY.
