When I was little I had an irrational fear of when you tried to turn off your Windows XP and the screen would gradually turn Grey as you choose which power option to enter

That shit was SCARY!!!

Q2 – industrial and computerized again

 Summer gaming at the country house with lots of good memories about country house. Nostalgia about old games. Green grass and good weather. What can be better? I remember some best moments at the village. And, of course, beyond the weather. It is summer, at least. And weather is fine. It is hot. Some insects and birds. It is good. And, well, not only these things, and also a retro games. With my old win xp machine.

 I am playing second Quake. And I start gaming pretty low condition. It is a thing, that I move a little last time. And was busy more with country house activities. And also stuck. So, I entered the pyramid. And its askes me some key card for next door. I do not have a key. And this is it.

 And I walk here and there like a fool. Along the level. I also enter the previous locations, in a hope, that computer will be alive and tell me what to do. But it was not like this. Empty labyrinths. And I walk here and there. And I get bored, even.

 And what it was? Yes, it was simple. At one of previous locations. So, it was also with some water. It was a key card. I was distracted by borgs. Distracted because of crossfire. And I skip this key card. I take it. I see it. When I visit location again.

 And, I was already thinking, that I will go here and there for a long time. But, I already with key card and I am running into pyramid. Go down with lift. Key card enters the entrance. Loading. Next map. Yea, I moved forward!

 And here I have such a wow! Quake can do a surprise to you! Yes! What I can see here! Industrial base, again. And I think, I will all sector walks with medieval or prison block. And that can be dark and gloomy, and even a little depressing. And this is such a beauty of industrial and computer systems.

 New effects. Before I never see them. Blue and red laser beams. Such beams, which defend, and if you go close, you will get hurt.

 And I am going under that beams. Get up. And it is some cyborg, there. With track. It is a big monster with tracks. It can shoot me with a rocket. And I put him down with a grenade launcher. So, I was running all over the big arena, and shoot him from time to time. From a grenade launcher. He was big and slow. And, all the time, was stopped in some corner. So, it was fun. I have a fun.

  And in the previous map. I, one more time, remember grenades. It is here, TAB button to press. And it is inventory. Yes, in second Quake you will have inventory. And it shows what you have. Grenades are goes with key G. Cool thing. Such a balls. They are making explosion not at the same moment as you drop them. It is for big and slow enemies. And, I put down like this some big rocket borgs, big heavy borgs. Grenade launcher also good for this purpose.

  Industrial and computer base makes this game fresh again. And, adds interesting again. Quake already is more tricky game. Labyrinths here you have. Yes, they are not with 1000  turns. And several turns. And they are wiggle. And easy to get lost. So, need to walk roads again. And there are no big number of enemies at the screen, as a rule. But they are very doing their job. Heavy and slow. With rockets or fast auto rifle borgs. You need to put them down. And you can have a certain method for every type. And I have remembered a big one, like ostrich or bird enemy.

 With such legs like bird and without any hair. And I say he also heavy. But, he is also, a pretty fast. Interesting iron bird. Enemies - you can remember them. It happens, there are only one enemy at once. Or several of them, like two, three or even more of them. Enemies are interesting here. It happens, they go single or by group. And they are intelligence, more or less. With its own model of behavior.

 Some of them, dying in interesting manner. They can shoot you till last moment, for example. Or animation how heavy rocket borg is broken. He is like going down slow.

 So, even, it has a blue thing, there. It shines with blue and it has beams like a reactor. And I shoot in it with  auto gun and I heard it again. Computer updated. And it was opened door, which was under block barrier.

 By the way, in locations for second Quake, there are ideas for Half Life. It is like, when you climbing to the blue thing, under the pipes. And, also, about a game Soldier Of Fortune. It is also a good shooter, as a Quake.

 Game, of course, big and epic, this is second Quake. So, you need also, to think what is next. And, I, again, I don’t get it from a first time, that this blue thing you need to shoot. And I have a good time with second Quake. Every time, I am interesting what is next.

Does Ryuji Otogi / Duke Devlin ever get possessed?

I mean cause if not, he should be feeling a little left out in the main friend group. Yuugi's set with Yami, Ryou with Bakura, Anzu and Joey both get possessed by Malik, then Hiroto gets possessed by Thief King in season five (and I guess Kaiba's sorta possessed by an evil clown in episode one but that's just him, what he felt inside til Yami decided it had to go and killed that thing)

@yoomschoocs IM USING UR TAGS AS AN EXCUSE TO RAMBLE BUT IM SO GLAD U POINTED OUT THE HAIR THING WITH OZ ITS MY FAVORITE PART OF HIS DESIGN

My self indulgent ass hc is that Ozpin used to have super dark hair, but over the years he just went white from stress and trauma. He greyed very quickly so by 20 he only had that lil sprig left

And by the merge he was completely white because trauma has reached maximum capacity :)
