Cost Benefit Analysis: Airsoft vs TTRPGs.

Analyze the Economic Factors and it becomes a bit clear why it works for me. In the end Utility aka Market Forces wins out. The willingness to pay for sentimentality gets really weaker as other opportunities light up.

Bragging Rights/ Ability to relate it to other people/ Ability to get other people to join/ Variation of Company

Yes / Easy / Easy / Broad

None / Hard / Very Hard / Very Specialized


*Cost is not Dedicated to just airsoft only, many of the equipment falls under sports/fitness and container gear that is useful for other things. I also have enough equipment for 2 other people now, that basically brings down the average cost to 8k per year average.

** Some are historical material.

I do admit that people with physical handicaps can join in... unless for special roles. Armorers, Logistical, or Placement gunner. While I still have my health, I wish to enjoy it.

Slept 4 hours today.
Injuries. Sprained wrist, my knees are still a bit weak and needs to get stronger, and I need to do dynamic stretching before begining the game next time. I'm comfortable enough in the fit of my BDU to do it.
Who to invite next week? assuming Juna gets his M16 DMR this week. I also have an MP44 that weighs twice my G3 I can possibly lend out, but hardly the gun for a Newb. We will be at KM18.
  • Remarkable Athlete Brother-in-Law - Already Stretched thin
  • Child-Hood friend who does sports pistol shooting - Unpredictable schedule
  • Many of the Athletic friends from Filipino free thinkers - Don't know who to ask first and how to find out quickly who can or cant in short notice.

Technically I'm done with the project

no charter . after learning what a charter is and because they don't work with a charter I'll never do a project without it. A charter is a written agreement with a project sponsor/employer/ in what outputs to be expected and what points are needed to consider a project done. I've never worked with a character before and was continually frustrated and depressed because of constant revisions and fluctuating tastes and expectations. I'd rather be thought of a total prick than to destroy my life working without a charter. This comes up because, when technically my dad removed me from the website project I'm being asked to arrange it again. This fuels my wishes, not to mention memories of unbearable depressions, to really leave the company I just joined in 2 months. Honestly, I'm here cause my parents want me. They can't make me want this job. I was doing well in the 3d artist track, I was poor but well, less stressed and still hopeful of my future. Personally,

Exercise Progress

I'm trying to build up my running, with the goal of being able to endure 15kph (Move-8 in gurps) for about 3 hours. The method I want to achieve is through sprinting most of the time and walking. So far I can do 3mi or 4.8 in 30 minutes. I have to more than double that. I have to ideally be able to do in 30 minutes of exercise 8km or 5mi consistently every other day. Then from there build up my core by running with a kit moviing from 5lbs to 16lbs. What I learned that it takes bone strength be able to run, so it has a strong element of strength in the task. You may have the endurance and will, but more often you will damage your own legs and ruin the pace of exercise with an extended rest. being 34 doesnt help, bones are weaker from a life behind the desk and joints are more calcified. It will take time and conditioning to build it up. Probably 2 years of faithful and devoted running. Then after the 2 years probably raise the kit weight. I'll be 38 or 40 by the time I can
