One of which is a pal who lives an almost two-hour-drive away from me and owns a PlayStation 4. Under normal circumstances, I would have maybe visited him once a month or once every two months. We could hang out, play soccer in his backyard, and then eventually get worn out and then go back inside. We would get to play some local multiplayer Gang Beasts (a GIF of which is shown below) or Rocket League , or take turns with the controller playing a single-player game like Marvel's Spider-Man .  GIF source:  https://giphy.com/gifs/wMquyogN7d6Jq/html5   Our current time, obviously, is not normal, unfortunately. So, how would I celebrate his upcoming birthday with him from a distance? I could play a game online with him... or I could take it a step further with Share Play. Share Play, which was talked-about all the way back since the PS4's initial

Hello, everyone. This is Arca, and this is my second-ever post for a Blogger "random question" challenge. To know what that is, and where I'm getting the questions from, you can read my previous post:  http://www.arcabaran.com/2020/06/blogger-random-question-challenge-1.html   Ah, I see. I got a good question that I actually picked to do on my first try clicking the "Save Profile" button. Here it is: "Try writing your name with your other hand. Where was that person raised?" I am a lefty, and proud of it. Lots of awesome, creative, and intelligent people (real and fictional) have been left-handed, from The Legend of Zelda 's   Link to Da Vinci to Bill Gates to Aristotle to Caesar to Einstein to Marie Curie to Jim Carrey and multiple U.S. Presidents... the list goes on and on. I even visited the world-famous Lefty Store, "Lefty's", on my visit to San Francisco, California five years ago. But, if I were to be born right-handed, like eve

I am very bored and want to make a summer daily post, yet don't want to write something requiring Internet research beforehand. Thankfully, Blogger already has a solution in its  profile customization menu, at the very bottom. It's called a random question, which is simply a fun writing prompt meant for you to answer shortly and display at the bottom of your profile page. It lets you generate new prompts just by clicking a button.I am going to try to find where I can edit my user profile in this brand new UI I'm not yet used to, and then keep generating random questions until I choose one I am satisfied with. Oh. This one's pretty good. Here it is: Well, maybe they don't need them, but don't you think that some fish might like a bicycle? Well, yes, actually. Humans are able to walk, yes? They can also drive cars. And ride bicy

Image Credit: Disney/Lucasfilm Hello guys, this is Arca, and this post is quite unique. First of all, it is the first post ever that I wrote and published using Blogger's brand new editor interface for 2020, finally done by Google to make it look more like the rest of its current products and not like something out of 1999 (which it technically is, but at least now the visual aesthetic has evolved past 2013). It will take me a bit of getting used to it in order to know the parts of the editing interface by memory, but I do think that it is a good improvement. I might review this update in a separate post, possibly as soon as tomorrow, since I now decided that since school is becoming much more tame and with only 13 school days to go before summer, I might as well start a daily post schedule again and try my best to keep at it for the entirety of my quarantined summer.  This post is not only the first post of my daily summer 2020 posts, and also the first one I ever made in Blogger&
