The most obvious indication that Senua's journey was all in her head was when your in the cave of the Hidden Folk and Senua gives her sword up to someone on the other side of a small hole in the cave wall just to find out down the way that she gave it to her "future" self.
The job of the Fed is to obfuscate what is ACTUALLY happening and the Fed is far from independent, and they do not work for the public. You are not allowed to know who they work for...thanks Guy!
Ones work, should be about something more than making money. "Business" is not a profession.

If you haven't played Senuas saga: Hellblade II, you haven't played the most impressive game to date.
If Bitcoin were implemented worldwide as the payment standard, it would be a massive step towards a sustainable economy and conservative spending. People think very hard before spending their Bitcoin, I know I do.
One of the most harrowing, dangerous, and emotionally taxing individual journeys from pre-industrial times, with significant evidence from their own writings, is undoubtedly that of **Ernest Shackleton during the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1914-1917)**.
While it technically straddles the very cusp of the industrial era, the nature of the survival, the technology available (or lack thereof for rescue), and the raw, unmechanized struggle against the elements firmly places it in a "pre-industrial" context for the human experience of survival. Shackleton's own journals, combined with the diaries of his crew, paint a vivid picture of unimaginable hardship and profound psychological pressure.
Here's why it stands out:
* **The Nature of the Disaster:** Shackleton's ship, the *Endurance*, became trapped and ultimately crushed by ice in the Weddell Sea. This left 28 men stranded in one of the most hostile environments on Earth, thousands of miles from civilization, with no means of communication or rescue. Their journey was not a planned expedition, but a desperate fight for survival from day one of the ship's demise.
* **Prolonged Isolation and Uncertainty:** For nearly two years, the men lived on shifting ice floes, then in lifeboats, facing constant threats of starvation, frostbite, hypothermia, blizzards, and the terrifying prospect of the ice breaking up beneath them. The sheer duration of their isolation, with no knowledge of when or if rescue would come, created immense psychological strain.
* **The Epic Open-Boat Journey:** The most famous part of the ordeal is Shackleton's decision to take five of his men in a tiny lifeboat, the *James Caird*, across 800 miles of the most treacherous ocean in the world – the Southern Ocean – to reach the whaling station on South Georgia Island. This was a desperate, almost suicidal gamble.
* **Emotional Toll Documented in Journals:** The diaries of Shackleton and his men during this specific voyage are incredibly revealing. They detail:
* **Near-constant hunger and thirst:** The gnawing, debilitating emptiness.
* **Extreme physical pain:** From frostbite, lack of sleep, and constant exposure to the elements.
* **Despair and hopelessness:** While Shackleton famously maintained an outward composure, the subtle shifts in language in his own writings, and more overtly in the journals of his men, reveal moments of utter despondency.
* **Hallucinations and psychological strain:** The extreme conditions and lack of sleep led to reports of men experiencing vivid hallucinations or feeling the presence of an unseen "extra hand" – a testament to their minds trying to cope with the impossible.
* **The immense burden of leadership:** Shackleton's journals subtly convey the crushing weight of responsibility for every single man's life, and the constant need to maintain morale, make impossible decisions, and push forward when all hope seemed lost.
* **The Final Traverse of South Georgia:** Even after landing on South Georgia, the ordeal wasn't over. Shackleton, Tom Crean, and Frank Worsley had to traverse the uncharted, glaciated interior of the island for 36 hours straight, exhausted and without proper equipment, to reach the whaling station.
**Why it's so harrowing and emotionally significant:**
The *Endurance* expedition stands out because it wasn't just about physical endurance; it was a profound testament to the human spirit's ability to withstand sustained, unimaginable psychological pressure. Shackleton's leadership, his focus on maintaining the mental and physical well-being of his crew (famously "no lives lost"), and the raw, unvarnished accounts in their journals, provide an unparalleled window into the emotional landscape of extreme, prolonged, pre-industrial survival. The fear of failure, the hope for survival, the camaraderie, and the raw fight against existential dread are palpable in their written words.
Frequent and proper global circular trade is the alternative to war. Hogging up resources too much for yourself will just put a target on your back and obtaining too much of a specific resource could also attract the wrong attention, so just imagine how intricate it is keeping your trade partners within the scope of the agreement.

I get it, money is magic and it has a spell on all of us. We can't wait to spend it on something because our minds just can't comprehend essentially retaining a non-tangible compensation for our time and/or efforts. This is why Bitcoin is for those like me who just have to move that money around. Your spending money, it's moving over but you aren't losing it, your using it and it's going to appreciate itself. So, if you must spend, spend it on something that appreciates you and buy Bitcoin. Your future self will thank you
I don't wish death on anyone but a tyrannical president (Joe Biden) is not long for this earth considering the cancer is in his bones and I'm not going to shed a tear when he soon passes.
If you plan to make a purchase with BTC, make sure you have that same amount in a reserve so in the future the gains will justify the lower price point it was at during the purchase.
Senuas Saga: Hellblade II is probably the game that makes my Series X work the hardest.
WOW! Is "IGN Entertainment" the worst rated app (1.7) on the playstore? I thought Google put a monopoly on app stores for "quality" purposes.
I bet a Bitcoin that Vivek Ramaswamy will be the 49th president.
