Assasins Creed Shadows is a game about Geopositioning.
A long time ago I was a mess. I ran with other messes, just seemed to make the most sense at the time. We spent a lot of our time in messy environments. Again, seemed like the move. Thing is, our messy environment happens to have a very storied, sustained, and intense, history of messiness. But that is not the whole story.
For instance, this part is where they imprisoned the Japanese during the war, and in the distance, those are the farms they took away and never gave back. And that street is where Mr. Chavez walked, forming the agricultural labor relations act in his wake, that type of mess.
Anyway, its always disheartening when im in the City at one of those Moscone gaming events and hear visitors from my gaming guild talk down on the valley every time the subject is brought up. I hate it because I have to do that messy thing I do, that thing my enviornent trained me to do, when all I really want to do is grab some swag and see the handfull of actual friends i've made on this server, who I rarely get to see in real life.
The conversation usually goes like:
Them: You still live in the valley? It's dirty and gross and mean.
Me: Have you been?
Them: No, but I don't need to do drugs to know I don't like them.
Me: Agreed, but I would trust somone in recoverys experiences over your opinion.
Them: Sounds like you speak from experience. (smirks at group for validation)
Me: Yup, I just said I live in the valley. But yeah, maybe it's better you stay in the Bay, where it's safer.
People assume the guy that the town Stockton is named after to be some horrible dude, but in reality Robert F. Stockton was a US Navy Commodore who helped abolish flogging as an official punishment, pushed for the technical advancment of the Navy with the steam engine, and delegated the peace conference of 1861 to try and stop the civil war from happening, arguing that black folks are cool and M'urica was doing to much (it didn't go well).
Earned him the distinction of being an American military guy with a river in Africa named after him. Its a tidal channel that connects the Mesurado River and the Saint Paul River, and that separates Bushrod Island from the mainland in Monrovia, Liberia. If you wanted to check it out sometime.
Whatever, im just thinking out loud. And don't worry info, time isn't what you think it is, and I'm always around, even if the status says offline. Rip TB Rip TC Rip Tall-T. Love is wise hatred is foolish. Get out there and do great things, we believe in you. Also jobs.
