She isn't real...
I can't make her real...

Really personal post incoming...

My mother passed away on September 1st of 2022, mostly in peace, in her house, in her bed. I'll not go into details, I just feel that I should post this here, since I don't use any kind of social media, all I'll say here is that she was the strongest woman I've known. Thanks to all the people that came to visit, there was lots of Bourbon, Cigarretes, Dark Humour and of course, memories and tears, it was almost just as she wanted it, and when I say almost is because there was a whole lot of people, something that she never really wanted, but that only shows us all the support and the love for her and for our family. Thanks for everything Mom. I was really drunk for 3 straight days but in my defense all I can say is that you were not here to tell me "Don't drink too much", so, that one's on you, but don't worry, I'll have it in mind from now on, just as you always said it every weekend when I was going out to have a good time or to rehalsals with my band. Maybe I'll see you again, just hope not to scare the ♥♥♥♥ out of you like when you stumble with me during the nights. Good bye, I'm missing you already.

Today July 27th 2021 we've been informed that Joey Jordison died. He was the main reason why I became a Musician, and Drums is the only instrument I play with passion today. This hits low. Rest in peace #1.

Today January 4th 2021 we received the news that Alexi Laiho died, and I have to admit, that I cried.
Rest in Peace Allu. You'll be missed.

This one is dedicated to my best friend in the whole world:

Around 16 years ago, or even 17 years ago, (I never got the time right but it was at least 16 years ago) we first met, and Brother I remember everything, you know that I always remember everything about everything, and you know that ♥♥♥♥ better than anyone. I met you and we became best friends in the whole world, we had our fights, we had our differences, but we had great great times together, for days and nights for years. This is not easy, even tho I was preparing myself for a long time, this is one of the most difficult things I've been trough in all my life.

Brother, I know you had a great life, a great and long life, and I want to thank you for those 16 years and more that we spent together, were we laugh, cried, eat, sleep, talked... I'm gonna miss our late night conversations so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ much. You were the only one that knew everything and never told to anyone and for that I will remember you to the last day I walk on this planet.

Brother, I'm missing you already. I love you. There is no replacement for you. You helped me in my darkest hours, stood right next to me in all those sleepless nights trough the years, and we know that we did everything we could to stay together a little longer, this one has been close for a long, long ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ time, but I guess not even us could cheat death for too long, but we did cheat that ♥♥♥♥♥ a few times and for a long time and I would do it again and you know that.

Today is difficult, because for the first time in more than 16 years I feel lonely, knowing that you won't be here anymore makes me feel lonely, and it's hard, even tho I have great people beside me and the ones that left we choose them together and I know they are the right ones. But you... You've gone, and it is hard.

Copito, I'll miss you, you're not here anymore and the world has lost a little bit of his bright. You were not like any other Dog, you were my Brother. Thank you for those 16 years, I'm going to miss our conversations and how you listened to my new stories about my students. Farewell Brother. Until we meet again. I'll love you and miss you always, like the first day, like today, and on the last on my days.

Oh yes, Elden Ring, gotta say, this is in fact a good one. Let's see, where do I start... Well, actually I don't know where. Being completely honest, I've had a serious problem with Elden Ring, but not with the game itself, but with myself. Of course I'll not go into details, but ♥♥♥♥'s have not been OK for me in the last months, so I wasn't really able to enjoy the game as I should, that is also one of the reasons why it took me so long to actually complete it. I've pre-ordered this bad boy and I've been playing since Day 1, it came out more than 2 months ago and I've played almost 120hrs in that time, all my friends completed the game within the first 3 weeks and have more than 400hrs on record, some of them even 600hrs, so yeah, it sucks, but nothing to do about that.

But let's talk about the game, this is what this review it is for. The game is magestic, brilliant, beautiful. This is basically an Open World Dark Souls where you can jump and ride a horse, that's it. I could end my review right now but nah-, let's go in deph. The Lands Between are HUGE, the Map keeps growing and growing, at one point you're like "WTF Miyazaki, stop, how can it be this big?", but Miyazaki in his unending wisdom just keeps giving you more areas, poison swamps, caves, castles, all those things you want, it makes you want to explore, and find stuff, which most of the time it's useless for your character cuz you went Strenght+Faith and you keep finding Magic and Arcane stuff, but that's cool, because it's not about the reward, it's about the journey.

The world feels alive, interconnected like never before, different enemies show up in different times of the day. You cleared that area and then went there again by night just roaming around? Papa Miyazaki says: "Give this man a giant zombie chicken, let the man have his fun". Went to Caelid to buy stuff from that that dude and accidentally arrive at night? Papa Miyazaki in his infinite wisdom says: "Give this man BDSM Darth Vader, he deserves it".

The graphics are beautiful. They are not 'bad', they are 'beautiful'. The color palette is intense, the art design is spectacular as always, the fact that you can see some weird castle in the distance and actually go there is really, really cool.

The music, is 'Grandiose'. Epic. 'Golden'. It stays in your head, specially after you fought the same mf 50 times. Radagon I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hate you, you and your entitled walk and your skirt, but the theme man, is so epic, I have no more words.

Gameplay, it's like Dark Souls with some tweaks here and there, guard-counters are a nice touch, and build variety is inmense as always.

Difficulty, yes, it is hard, and it gets harder as you advance trough the game, which is a nice touch. Previous games after the first half get a little stale, which is not bad, but this game forces you to adapt and try new things. The game gives you tons of options to tackle the callenge, and that's nice, it's more accessible, but in no way 'easier'.

The story is actually pretty good. Not a big fan of G.R.R. Martin, but the old man knows how to write, of course. The only complain I have is the names, they are all so similar that it's easy to get lost in the lore.

In conclusion, Elden Ring is in fact what I was waiting for, and more. I will play it again once I get my ♥♥♥♥ together a little bit more. But for now, yes, I do recommend this game. It is, as we say in the Community: One of the games ever made. Yes, I wrote that right: Elden Ring is one of the games ever made.

(I have not beaten Malenia yet. I've been trying to meet the legend, the one and only 'Let me solo her'. Man that guy is cool huh.)

Let's go for a nomination for Shadow of the Erdtree, and celebrate NightReign! May chaos rule the world!
