hyperfixations (4/13-4/17/26)
didn't pilot the EVA all week
(...i kinda wanna make a silly lil video...)
i've never seen
The Handmaid's Tale
(calm down...it's on my list)
BUT
i started watching
The Testaments
(that first episode is WILD)
so many
BARE FACED BADDIES
(praise be your works)
started
cooking
again

(i missed food science)
AND
started
doodlin'
again

still been
"busy"
(cocky deserves boing boing)
so
ONES O' MEDIA
(gaffer edition)

NUTMEG
OKAY SO
i didn't initially
plan on getting this game
(i didn't even know it existed until a few weeks ago)
BUT
i refunded
SAMSON
(I BELIEVED IN YOU)
AND
i needed
something else to play
(i can't keep whooping yall's ass in REMATCH)
IRONICALLY
this was
the exact same price
(the universe knew it was time)
this was
supposed to be
the year i finally
CAVED IN
and became a slave to
Football Manager
(unc initiation)
BUT
that game came out as
ABSOLUTE FUCKING DOG SHIT
(someone on Steam said it's so bad it cured their addiction)
SO
i was
FORCED
to try something
"diffrent"

(some fuck ass futbol skinned card game)
BUT
to my suprise
I FUCKING LOVE IT
(i'm really a 70 year old english man in spirit)
it's like if
Balatro
and
Football Manager
fucked on
a felt table
(something that should have happend years ago)
CURRENTLY
i'm on my
6th Season
as manager of
Blackpool
in the
3rd Division
(SIRI PLAY DREAMS AND NIGHTMARES)
i like this game
A LOT
because it's
EXTREMELY SIMPLE
but at the same time
EXTREMELY COMPLEX
(literally the core tenets of futbol)
even in this
stripped down
RETRO
table top
version of
futbol
(literally just probabality porn)
you
STILL
feel an insane
SENSE OF PRIDE
when you're
WHOOPING ASS

(statistically)
you could
sim every game
based on
WIN PERCENTAGE
(literally like praying to the gods for rain)
OR
do
THE SMART THING
when given the opportunuty to
"be the gaffer"
(trusting in the heart of the cards pitch side)
ALWAYS
ALWAYS
ALWAYS
BELIEVE IN CHANCE
(it's amazing what you can do if you just believe)
even
aesthetically
this is
FAR SUPERIOR
to
Football Manager

(i wish computers were still this simple)
this game proves
a few things:
ONE
even if you have an
88% CHANCE OF WINNING
you can
ABSOLUTELY BOTTLE IT
by just
"GOING THROUGH THE MOTIONS"
(not taking games seriously because you're too over confident)
TWO
even in a fucking
VIDEO GAME
playing
5 IN THE BACK
will not
SAVE YOU
(it's downright shameful behavior IN ALL REALITIES)
THREE
4-3-3
(in a high press or holding shape)
is
THE BEST FORMATION
for
MOST SITUATIONS
(if you can't win with that...idk what to tell you)
FOUR
you don't need
ANIMATED MATCHES
LICENSED TEAMS
OR
PLAYER LIKENESS
to make
A FUCKING BANGER
(USE YOUR IMAGIANTION...IT'S A VIDEO GAME)
SO
if you
LOVE FUTBOL
(this shit literally consumes my life)
YEARN
for
FUTBOL OF YESTERYEAR
(pre VAR but still littered with BULLSHIT)
AND
ABSOLUTELY
FUCKING HATE
LOSER ASS
FOOTBALL MANAGER
(she's abusive...it's okay to leave)
this
FUCK ASS
FUTBOL SKINNED
CARD GAME
IS
PERFECT FOR YOU
(she actually loves me)
