    On Gaming

    By Philip,


    Gaming
    For those who know me very well, you’d know that gaming has always been a major pillar in my life, now and forever. I still vividly recall a day in primary school when I came home, and my mother told me and my sister that my dad had gotten us a present. I had no idea what it could be, but when I saw the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) with him playing Super Mario World, I was amazed. I had a go, but it was super difficult, and I didn’t play it much at first—my dad seemed to enjoy it more than I did. But this was the 1990s, and as a kid, there wasn’t much else to do, so I eventually started playing more. Soon, I was hooked.
    My parents, being responsible, tried to limit my screen time to about two hours a day. I still remember waiting for them to leave the house—to go to the shops or a friend’s party—so I could boot up the system and sneak in some extra playtime. Gaming quickly became more than just a pastime; it became an escape and a source of excitement.
    The next console I owned was the PlayStation One. At the time, my family didn’t have much discretionary cash, so I had to save up my lunch money to buy games. When we went to the shops, I’d hang out at EB Games, staring longingly at all the titles I couldn’t afford but hoped to play one day. Because of this, the few games I did own were incredibly special to me. I would spend hours replaying them, over and over again. This was a time before YouTube, Facebook, or iPhones—a time when gaming was one of the most immersive ways to lose yourself in another world.
    As an adult, my gaming habits have, of course, changed. I’ve had those days where I stayed in my room from morning till night, playing games with barely a break. I remember one particular day when I drank nothing but Up & Go, only left my room to use the toilet, and probably didn’t brush my teeth or shower. I wouldn’t be surprised if I developed bed cramps that day. But it was worth it, getting completely lost in the world the developers had created. It felt like diving into a book and never wanting to come back up for air.
    One game that changed the way I view gaming was The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It was a masterpiece of open-world design, letting you explore the vast, beautiful world of Hyrule on foot or horseback. Up until this point, I hadn’t done much traveling, but this game opened my eyes to how stunning and magical the world outside my house might be. Inspired by the game, I started hiking around Melbourne and appreciating the natural beauty that was practically on my doorstep. Sometimes I’d pull over while driving through the countryside, park my car, and just stand there, taking in the scenery with the wind brushing against my face. Back then, I was single, so these moments were solitary, but they were peaceful and fulfilling in their own way.
    Another reason I love gaming is the sense of community it fosters, especially with new games. When everyone’s still trying to figure out the mechanics and strategies, there’s an incredible buzz as players share ideas and discoveries. I’ve written guides for some games to help others, and doing so has given me a deeper appreciation for the way they’re designed. I love breaking a game apart, figuring out how its mechanics work, and seeing how all the pieces fit together. That process makes gaming even more enjoyable—there’s not much else in life that works quite like that.
    Recently, I played a game called Nine Sols, which was one of the hardest games I’ve ever tackled. One boss fight took me six hours to beat—I rage-quit twice, swearing I’d never touch the game again, but I eventually came back and conquered it. I often wonder whether that was a good use of my time, whether I could have spent those six hours doing something more productive. The answer is probably yes, but the joy and satisfaction I felt after finally winning made it all worth it. I think that’s true for most things you enjoy in life—you invest time, face challenges, and sometimes question whether it’s worth it. But those struggles are part of the experience.
    Gaming is only going to get better from here, with smoother performance, more realistic graphics, and innovative gameplay. I, for one, can’t wait to see what the future holds.

    On writing

    By Philip,


    Writing
    Writing has been a part of me for a long time now. I wasn’t particularly good at English—I remember struggling with grammar the most. Like most stereotypical Asian kids, I was particularly good at math and science, and those were the subjects I chose going into high school and beyond. Math only has one correct answer, which comforted me, while there really isn’t a right or wrong answer when it comes to English essays. That often frightened me.
    When I got my first job working at a yogurt shop, I took it upon myself to write weekly newsletters for the staff to update them on what was happening. I often got praised for the effort by my manager, which went a long way in building my confidence with writing. One day, I decided to do something about my lack of grammar skills, so I went and bought a grammar book—and you wouldn’t believe it, I actually liked it. A lot. It listed rules on when and where to use things like commas, em dashes, and quotation marks, and it helped improve my writing immensely.
    It wasn’t until I started reading lots of children’s literature, particularly A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket, that I began to understand something important: rules, like most things in life, are meant to be broken. Snicket had a particular knack for doing his own thing, for bending the rules of grammar to suit his style and voice. That was so captivating to me that I began changing the way I wrote myself. I started using more commas—particularly run-on sentences, which are always a no-no in the world of literature—but I love it. I put way too many commas in my sentences.
    A long time ago, I read a book about mastery that explained how everyone starts off as an apprentice. At some point in your learning, you reach a stage where you’re no longer simply doing what you’ve been told. You can experiment and start changing the course of history with new and innovative techniques. I like to think I’m at that stage now—taking words and sentences and bending them to my will. It’s sloppy at times, and for the most part, I’m sure it doesn’t even make sense.
    A parent once told me they’re just making things up as they go—parenting, that is—and I feel the same way with my writing sometimes. I’m making things up on the spot and hoping that it sticks, like spaghetti on the wall. And you know it’s good when it does.

    Friday, 1st December 2023. I am 32.
    One. Night-time. I read a post on Squirt that a new glory hole was freshly carved in the men’s toilet so I go check it out. I wait until very late at night when no-one is there. Sure enough, there is a glorious hole, large enough for a decent size cock. I put a dildo through it, suck it, pretend to get fucked by it. A fetish of mine. It would be cheating if it was the real thing.
    I then drive to Kevin’s.
    I don’t tell him any of this.
     
    Saturday, 2nd December 2023.
    Two. Morning light squeezes through the small opening of our bedroom blinds. I put on an eye mask to block it out.
    It is late morning, Kevin is awake, fingers my hole. He is very horny, hard as a rock, but I am still asleep. He slides his dick inside me anyway without any resistance; it is still wide open from the dildo last night. He fucks me deep and hard, on my back, on my stomach, on all fours, until he gives me a week’s load.
    Then we go back to for more sleep.
     
    Sunday, 3rd December 2023.

    Three. Rain clears. The sun breaks through the clouds. We are at a plant nursery, looking for a lavender and ficus tree. A lovely lady shows us around.
    “Feel how dry the soil is,” she says, referring to the ficus tree. “That’s how it should be. Many people kill it by giving it too much love, overwatering it.”
    I can tell she knows her stuff.
    “And don’t schedule for watering either. Each plant is different, like people, and so should be treated differently.”
    I leave the nursery. Fresh plants in my hand and new knowledge in my mind.

    One. There is a weird dynamic between Kevin and me. He always wants to pay for things, including things that are mine, like my clothes, groceries. I strive for personal independence, especially financially, so we tend to clash. Recently, we have been using AI, ChatGPT, to help settle our debates. It acts as a judge, and we have two rounds to state our cases and rebut each other. The AI’s decision is final. So far, I have been winning.
    Two. We have started our gardening adventures together. In the past five weeks, we have planted palm trees, birds of paradise, herbs, and ferns. I visit Kevin on the weekend, and I look forward to seeing how the garden is progressing. Today, I noticed that a new leaf has formed on the bird of paradise, and the herbs are ready to be harvested. Spring is becoming a favorite season of mine, for new growth and opportunities are plentiful here. In Summer, we shall reap our harvest, and I can’t wait for that day to arrive.
    Three. We are watching a YouTube channel called Spanian. He is covered in tattoos and makes travel blog videos. Today, he is in District 4 in Vietnam tasting local eats. He stops at a local kebab shop, and we are laughing because that’s anything but local. Then, he stops at a deep-fried shop that sells fried cheese sticks and fried chicken wings, and we shake our heads at how westernized street food has become in Vietnam. If only, we think to ourselves, he had a local Vietnamese guide. Then he would experience the culture more fully.
