剧集:陈情令

  No comments    
categories: 

这是一部改编自著名网络小说魔道祖师的剧集。起初是一位同事介绍我观看的。听说是改编自耽美小说时,我感到意外也有小小的抗拒,不过听同事经常夸这部戏时,我也感到好奇开始追看这部戏了。观看第一集的时候,我被主角们惊艳到了。怎么魏无羡这么顽皮可爱!蓝湛也好酷哦!每当我看见魏婴撩蓝湛,我就感到特别有趣。不难看出,从第一次相遇魏婴已经开始入蓝湛的眼里了。这个时候是好奇,好像看见一个爱惹事的家伙。他身边中规中矩的人完全不一样,他们没看过这样活泼开朗的人。从此他对魏婴很是好奇。

后来我想为什么蓝湛会逐渐喜欢魏婴呢?从小小的细节就能看出魏婴在蓝湛的心中越来越重要了。比如说,在屋顶打斗后,蓝湛是开始欣赏魏婴的。后来蓝湛会因为魏婴的鲁莽行为感到担忧,他细心观察魏婴也很了解他,所以心疼他被世人误解。蓝湛甚至留意魏婴的一举一动,想默默保护他。反观魏婴大大咧咧的,没心没肺的撩拨蓝湛心弦,时时刻刻想作弄他,自己心动而不自知。魏婴是心大的男孩撩完后就忘了。蓝湛则弄不清自己的感情,他平静的世界因为魏婴而波动。我觉得前半部分的剧情就是说蓝湛偷偷暗恋魏婴,但是那是矛盾又心慌的爱苗,他不知道魏无羡在他心里是什么地位。从小就被三千条家规束缚的人,在探索自己的内心和对自己感情的认知。同样年少的魏婴就是浪的一天是一天,根本不懂什么是恋爱。他想在莲花坞好好扶持自己的好兄弟江城,完成他的云梦双杰的梦想,也想报答江家的养育之恩。不过人算不如天算,因为不夜天的事件一切都改变了。我认为年少的魏婴心里只装下江家人。蓝湛则是魏婴由衷欣赏的人。蓝忘机在魏无羡心里由始至终都是完美无瑕疵的存在。

我真正觉得魏婴开始认清自己对蓝湛的感情是重归于世后,他与蓝湛经历过的点点滴滴开始的。他觉得身边很需要蓝湛这个知己。魏婴这颗石头到底还是那个灿烂夺目的少年,他还在摸索自己的感情。反而蓝湛经过岁月的洗礼后变得更加成熟稳重,也很明白自己对魏婴的心意。可是为何没有对魏婴表白呢?原因只有一个,因为蓝湛由始至终都以为魏婴只喜欢女生的。他不想告白后,魏婴反而因为尴尬选择逃避自己。蓝湛承受不起这个后果,毕竟他这么多年来都想念着魏婴。故事的结尾为什么蓝湛会和魏婴分道扬镳呢?我认为蓝湛的爱是想魏婴过自己想要的生活。既然世人已经知道之前在不夜天的真相,也还魏无羡公道后,现在的魏婴应该会平安无事的度过一生吧。在确定魏婴的安全后,蓝湛也要回去过自己的生活了。别忘了蓝二哥要回去他的家族担起责任,并且照顾伤心的哥哥。魏婴无家可归,原本以为自由了,可是突然心酸因为蓝湛就是他的家。他终于意识到自己早已经离不开蓝湛了。所以他回头叫了一声蓝湛,也得到了蓝湛的回应。他们一起回云深不知处,蓝湛也终于可以把魏婴藏起来了。而且关键是,这次是魏婴心甘情愿留下来的,蓝湛张开双臂迎接魏婴。

看完剧集后我也觉得入戏太深了。肖战和一博就是魏婴和蓝湛。“不愧是真情演出!” 仔细看他们对彼此的眉目传情,心动的瞬间,慌张害怕心意被对方发现,吃醋生闷气的时候,后悔失去的感觉。这些细微的动作和表情表演的淋漓尽致。这处在友情之上恋人未满的阶段,事过境迁,才发现身边有你真好。这只有陈情令剧组才能拍出来。陈情令是部经典剧集,前无古人 后无来者啊!但是千万别把演员们戏中的角色带入他们现实生活里。他们是演员,是同事而已。幕后花絮有剧组演员的可爱互动。演员们都有各自的发展,祝福每一位演员能够继续发光发热。😀👍❤️

Digital Games vs Physical Nintendo Switch Game Cartridges

  No comments    
categories: , ,

Depending on what you want both digital and physical games have their pros and cons. But in a nutshell, if you want easier access to games on the go without having to constantly take out game cartridges each time you want to play a different game, then investing in a in a large-capacity microSD card and getting games digitally would be the choice for you. However, if you prefer owning the game cartridges and have your own little collection which you can trade or resell to fund future games, then physical game cartridges with a little investment on a  invested a smaller microSD card and a carrying case for the cartridges.


Note: The Nintendo Switch and Switch Lite have 32GB of internal storage, while the Switch OLED offers 64GB. When you download a game from the eShop, it will occupy some of that storage space. You can expand the Switch's storage through microSD cards up to 2TB (which is more than enough for plenty of Switch games), but that's an additional expense.


Personally, I prefer a mix of digital and physical because it just makes sense. This is especially the case for:

  •  digital games which go on sale on the Nintendo e-Shop and are way cheaper than the physical copy (sometimes up to a 50% discount or more!)
  • physical games which come with special bonuses, make for a good collection or if I don't like it, I can resell it away to fund my other games

But that's just me. Here is a quick rundown of the important factors you should consider when making the decision.  Read more >>

Getting the Nintendo Switch and Fitness Boxing 2

  No comments    
categories: 
 
After my first purchase for a Nintendo Switch Lite last year, it was time to upgrade and share the games with family and friends (that’s just me convincing myself). 

With the covid situation and all the circuit breakers and heightened alerts (essentially varying degrees of lockdowns in Singapore), I realized that I hardly went out and exercised as much anymore. That said, I kind of stumbled across games such as Fitness Boxing, Fitness Boxing 2, and Fitness Adventure. 
 
Now there was a valid excuse, I mean reason to get the Switch, as well as getting the mom and dad up and about and moving as well to the games.

[Nintendo Switch vs Switch Lite: Which is the best for you?]

Switch and the pretty case
Fitness Boxing 2 & accessories

Did I mentioned that it was even more propelling to get one as there was the double date sales? 6.6 just happened to be around the corner, and some of the deals on the shopping platforms last all the way till 7.7
 

Note: Of course, I did notice a couple of sellers updating their prices before the sales to create an impression that there was a discount of sorts as well. So, you really have to check beforehand and know what average price of the items is before you check out, and not get swayed by the big discount numbers.
The Nintendo Switch in Singapore used to cost around S$350, but ever since the global shortage, prices have shot up as high as S$700 locally. Now (at the time of this posting), depending on the design of the Nintendo Switch (e.g. grey, red/blue, animal crossing etc…), on average the price might range between S$439.00 - S$529.00 locally.

After some research, across the various shopping platforms like Shopee, Lazada and Qoo10, Lazada had the most price competitive offer at S$422.50. Including the 6.6 vouchers and the credit card promotions, I managed to get it for just S$368! So it’s definitely a happy buy.

The same seller is also on Shopee and the same item is going for S$429 So ultimately it really depends on the vouchers and coins that you have on either platform in order to get the most benefit. Timing is also key (and quite a bit of effort too).

If you are not willing to pay that much in one go, both Lazada and Shopee also offer paying in installments. Shopee has more credit card options then Lazada, but as long as you have the credit card you can just opt to pay by installment for either 6 or 12 months (just so you don’t feel the pinch so much).

For the Fitness Boxing 2 game, it was cheaper on Shopee at the time, and it was from Korea. Delivery was not that long (about a week or so), but still worth it for a brand new piece for less than $60.

Psycho Pass (Anime)

  No comments    
categories: ,

Psycho Pass was one of my favorite animes back in the mid 2000s. It's about a world set in the distant future of 2113, where the world is governed by the Sibyl System (シビュラシステム) - a supercomputer which not only stores all of the biometrics related to the Japanese citizen, but also use the data to predict a person's potential to become a criminal and alerts the authorities to capture, arrest,or eliminate the scourge of society (when the assessment is above a certain threshold). This assessment is call a Psycho Pass and the the field officers of the Crime Investigation Department of the Ministry of Welfare's Public Safety Bureau are ones who do the work.

The field officers consist elite officers known as Inspectors. They are accompanied by Enforcers who are are equipped with activated hand-held weapons called Dominators, and are latent criminals charged with protecting the Inspectors. They use weapon which can only fire when approved by the Sibyl System and triggered by its owner.

[Psycho Pass Wiki]

When humans let go of their moral compass (so to speak) and let a system like the Sibyl System take control as judge and jury, it foes lead to many discussions about morality, crime and punishment. More so in today's world when we are having more and more technology take over.

If mental stability and propensity towards crime is a key factor in crime, and when a machine which only has code for right and wrong to pass judgement, where is the human compassion? 

Also, just as humans can be corrupted, so can a system / machine. Which is even worse in this case if people who can override the system though loopholes which only they know.
