NBA 2K22 on PS4

Image
Impressive win. NOLA vs USA Rising Stars, with names like Ja Morant on point, Zion Williamson. 86:75 on 65% field goal percentage and 45% from three. Ten dunks. Good ones. My biggest lead was 14. Ingram scored 31 points and 5 rebounds and ended up with sprained right food somewhere in the 3rd, imagine what his impact could be if not for the injury. Whoa! Valenciunas 15 points and 9 rebounds and 4 assists. Zion with 14 points. Tomas Satoransky with 9 points in 16 minutes on the floor. Later on I lost with the Philadelphia 76ers.

NieR: Automata on PS4

Image
The game is overwhelming. Overwhelmingly much is going on at all times! It's too much! I cannot handle it. I had to make it stop. How the hell am I supposed to platinum this thing?! I went back to what I'm familiar with: NBA 2K23 Jordan Challenge. How wholesome. I scored 40 points and recorded 7 assists in a 70:57 win versus Boston Celtics. I'm 41/45 now. I could use some recognition, some trophy perhaps, for my ongoing efforts! (I have 13 PS trophies now)

Late night Ubuntu installation

Image
I was installing Ubuntu (the latest LTS Desktop edition) and Lollypop and vim on my Dell Latitude laptop. The problem is that its display is just HD, not Full HD and the viewing angles are shit, it's a TN panel not an IPS. Speakers are decent though. I'm tired. Long day. Tomorrow I'll tell you why curated collection of music in Lollypop is better than Spotify and how I use my setup.

GRID Autosport on Switch

Image
My new game. It's currently downloading. I hope it's not too big. Blu-ray state of the collection? Not today. I played some games on my PS4, but nothing really sticks. Those games demand hours and hours and I'm just not ready for such commitment. This new game of mine is good though. Big win in 2K22 on Switch. NOLA vs Knicks. 103:82 with over 73% efficiency. So efficient and elegant. Zion scored 30 points. Ingram 28. Big time plays with lots of impactful dunks. I finished reading Bad As I Wanna Be by Dennis Rodman. I'm gonna Platinum NieR: Automata, which I just purchased for less than 12 euros. This is my commitment to you. I keep my word.

I earned a trophy!

Image
Yes, I did! In Horizon: Zero Dawn, Followed Rost's teachings. Damn every time I play it I keep on thinking how Forbidden West is better in every respect, just higher quality. And WojTech lost with Ghana! I am so blessed to be able to lay in my bed and play NBA 2K25 on Switch with my Pro Controller. Earning a trophy, calling it a day. Good night! I won in an overtime in 2K25, Mavs vs Utah Jazz. 74:69. Lol. Dirk went berserk and scored 27 points. Old Jason Terry with 20, and two threes. The Matrix with only 4 points in 20 minutes, disappointing. 0-1 3PT. Shame. I just purchased GRID Autosport on Switch.

I think being here is a mistake...

Don't you worry, I'm not leaving. Not yet! It's just a phrase from The Nun, which I'm currently watching on Blu-ray on my PS4. The film wants to be so scary that I find it mildly funny. In NBA 2K24 on Switch close loss 79:80 my Pelicans with Ingram and Williamson versus Charlotte Hornets. Two exciting purchases for my Blu-ray collection: Resident Evil and The Fifth Element in Czech! I'm checking out The Nun from time to time, but it's not that fascinating to be honest. Its extras/featurettes were a bit disappointing. I played some Horizon: Zero Dawn on PS4. Forbidden West is better in my opinion. I'm looking at Beetlejuice Beetlejuice with its star cast on VOD. I might end up watching it. I'm currently reading Bad As I Wanna Be by Dennis Rodman, but it's getting boring towards the end. Today I went to Łączna Zoo to feed some hungry lemurs. It was fun.

The Hunger Games with Jennifer Lawrence (Blu-ray)

Image
Today I give you my honest impressions on the 2012 movie The Hunger Games based on a novel by Suzanne Collins and directed by Gary Ross. It holds a rating of 7.2 stars on IMDb. Sadly there was no extra content on the disc this time. The cast of this blockbuster is stellar. We have Jennifer Lawrence, for whom it was a breakthrough role, Elizabeth Banks, Woody Harrelson, Stanley Tucci, Wes Bentley, Liam Hemsworth, Donald Sutherland, and Lenny Kravitz. The duration is 142 minutes. The back cover synopsis: Every year in the ruins of what was once North America, the Capitol of the Nation of Panem forces each of its twelve districts to send a teenage boy and girl to compete in the Hunger Games. Sixteen year-old Katniss Everdeen volunteers in her younger sister's place and must rely upon her sharp instincts when she's pitted against highly trained Tributes who have prepared for these Games their entire lives. If she's ever to return home to District 12, Katniss must make impossibl...

A Private War with Rosamund Pike (Blu-ray)

Image
Another movie afternoon/evening. Today with a 2018 film rated 6.7 stars on IMDb. Its duration is 111 minutes. There are English and German audio tracks with optional German subtitles. Rosamund Pike received 2 Golden Globe nominations for Best Actress for her performance.  The truth is the most powerful weapon is its subtitle. Text from the back cover (translated from German): Marie Colvin (Rosamund Pike), the most determined war reporter of our time, risks her life on the battlefront to show the world the ugly face of war. Even an attempt on her life in Sri Lanka, which leaves her seriously injured, doesn't stop her from continuing to report on people's fates. Between a life of luxury and war, her final assignment takes her, along with renowned war photographer Paul Conroy (Jamie Dornan), to the most dangerous place in the world: the besieged Syrian city of Homs. When I put in the Blu-ray they forced me to watch movie trailers in German first, which I did not like. In Termina...

New Orleans Wins The Game (in 2K24 on Switch)

Image
I won. Again. And I come here to brag. Bragging rights. I'm home here. So it was a 75:68 win against Atlanta Hawks with Yung Trae Young. Field goals: 58%. 3 Pointers: 36%. Free throws 5/5. Bench points: 23. 3 blocks. 2 steals. 6 dunks. Brandon Ingram recorded 24 points, 2 rebounds, and 2 assists in 16 minutes on the floor. Zion, disappointingly, 8 points, 6 assists, and 4 rebounds in 17 minutes. Silent assassin, balding warrior Cody Zeller was with us, scored 4 points in 6 minutes. I went shopping. Purchased The Hunger Games book (in English), Morgan Blu-ray (French version), and Splice Blu-ray (English). Cost: approximately 23.50 euro. Ingram won that game for me. Zion was unreliable. I feel adventurous. This Saturday I'm going to Hradec Kralove in Czech Republic. It takes a 3-hour bus ride from Wroclaw. I need approximately 1h 40mins to get to Wroclaw from Bielawa, where I live. Bus leaves at 7:55 from Wroclaw Bus Station. You can catch me there. We can organize Fan Meeting o...

Terminal with Margot Robbie (Blu-ray)

Image
Revenge has never been more beautiful is the subtitle of this 2018 movie starring Margot Robbie and Simon Pegg directed by Vaughn Stein. It is one of three Blu-ray movies that I bought recently alongside A Private War and The Hunger Games. All of them arrived today. I have a German version of the movie with original English and German audio tracks and optional German subtitles. I bought it for less than 5 euros, so it was an amazing deal. It has a rating of 5.4 on IMDb. I would have given it more just after 30 minutes in. It is a beautiful film noir thriller with smart dialogues and captivating story. Margot Robbie does an amazing job as a lead. On the back cover there is an excerpt from Chicago Sun-Times, calling it  a dark, bloody, and breathtaking , which is an apt description of what is going on on the screen. In the end all pieces of the puzzle come together in a somewhat surprising way. It was fun to watch. 8 out of 10 for me. I enjoyed the extra content featured on the disc...

Indiana Fever Wins The Game!

Image
In a 66:56 win of Indiana Fever over Atlanta Dream. There were no dunks surprisingly. With 38% for three and 45% from the field. Aliyah Boston recorded 18 points, 15 boards, and 5 assists in 20 minutes of play. This is a solid performance. Kelsey Mitchell had 15 points and 3 rebounds. Erica Wheeler 11 points and 6 rebounds. It was fun with NBA 2K24 on my Switch :-). I have 20 something movies in my DVD collection. Notably American Psycho and Monsters Ball wit Halle Berry as Leticia Musgrove, for which she won the Academy Award for Best Actress. On a side note: I almost bought NBA 2K26 and Syberia The World Before for PS4.

Modest Blu-ray Collection

Image
By now you already know that if I'm not sleeping at night I do some online shopping. Tonight I began my Blu-ray collection with three titles: The Hunger Games, Terminal, and A Private War. The cost per item for majority of this set is a pack of cigarettes. I guess I have double diagnosis: game and movies collector. I already have a DVD collection, but its native 480p makes it ancient. I need Full HD. Today I visited Twierdza Klodzko Mall and ate a kebap there. I did not get anything, but it was a fun trip.

Late Night Wholesome Gaming

Image
I've just scored 63:61 in an overtime win. I was playing as Indiana Fever in NBA 2K24 on Switch in WNBA. My Pro Controller disconnected during halftime sadly, but I managed to win anyway. I'm seriously considering buying 2K23 for my Switch. I also played some Journey on PS4 today. The game is... impressive to say the least. I think I'll be coming back. For now I'm listening to some music on my headphones and doing some online shopping I guess. UPDATE: I snatched a digital copy of Death or Treat for less than 5 euros (it was something around 40 euros for a physical copy). Other than that I bought a replacement case for my Journey, which had it destroyed in the lower right corner, and used Horizon: Zero Dawn (English version of course, as those are my favorite). Cost-wise it was pennies, so nothing to mention really. For my Switch I bought NBA 2K23 and Burnout Paradise Remastered and here it was not that cheap: 73.43 euros.
