Sekiro Only From Software Game I'm Not Pre-Ordering (Monday Musings 73)
In general, it's always best to wait until the about to be released game comes out much later with a complete bundled package, including all the DLCs, because at that time, the price comes down from $60 to the more affordable $20 or $30. Further, patches would have been out by now that will fix the glitches.
Therefore, not only will the game be cheaper in price, but you get more content for less money, and a more polished experience! Additional benefit is, during that period of time, you can watch others play the game, to make sure you really want it.
However, there are some games that I have to pre-order and play right away, and those are the From software games. I played and fell in love with Demon's and Dark Souls years after release, Dark Souls being my favorite game. Therefore, I had to pre-order Dark Souls 2, Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3, as I played them on day of release. It was worth the full price, even as Bloodborne eventually became free for Playstation Plus (PS+) subscribers.
The only other thing I can think of in terms of pre-ordering is to get the preordered bonus content, but usually the bonus content doesn't justify buying the game now, rather than waiting for the complete and more affordable game to come out.
Sekiro just didn't appeal to me, as it won't have the RPG elements and character building that I've come to love in video games. This has gotten to the point where it was hard for me to play games other than RPGs.
I know I've been whinging about Sekiro since it was introduced back in E3 2018, but I hope that I'm 100% wrong about this game. If my friends really love the game, I'll be sure to wait until the complete bundled package arrives - usually From Software comes out with future DLCs.
What are your thoughts about pre-ordering and will you pre-order Sekiro?

Life Lessons From PUBG
PUBG. The first thing that comes in mind after listening to it is a battle-royale game. But PUBG has some connection to real life. We can learn many things from PUBG. PUBG can motivate us a lot. Below given are 20 life lessons that we can learn from PUBG:
1. The blue zone is just an illusion. Life never gives a second chance. If anyone goes away from this world, then the person never returns.
We know that once we are killed, we cannot return to the game. Though how much rich we are, we should accept that we are dead and no one in this world can save us.
2. Nothing is yours in this world. After your death, the scopes, weapons, clothes etc. that you collected in your life will remain here.
What is the meaning of life if we don't enjoy it? There are more things to do in life than just running after something!
3. Never underestimate your enemies. You can never know who can kill you, at what time and where.
So don't underestimate your enemies and prepare to beat them before they beat you.
4. The more resources we have, the more we survive.
Start collecting resources and information about your enemies The more you collect, the more chances arrive that you beat them.
5. Sometimes you need others to revive yourself. So kill your ego and make your relationship stronger.
Often people break their relations just to satisfy their ego. But relationships are far more important than our ego. Ego will make us alone in this social world.
6. It doesn't matter how strong you are. If you are not individually strong, you can lose any time.
Teamwork is good but there will a time when you have to fight alone. At that time if you are not individually strong, you won't live long.
7. You can never know when, how and where you can be attacked, so always be alert.
You should be alert at all times. Enemies can attack at any moment and from anywhere. A little mistake can risk your life.
8. You have to either win or lose in your life, there is no option to run away.

9. Never leave your task undone or half-completed.
Found your enemy? Just kill him or else he will kill you. Don't just let him go or he will be the cause of your death.
10. You have to kill your enemies as soon as you see them otherwise they will kill you.

12. Always take calculated risks, never aim blindly.
Take risks but don't just shoot blindly. If there is no reward for taking risks you better move away. Also, the reward should be worth the risks that you take.
13. Being in a shelter for some time will save you from enemies but to save yourself from the zone you have to get out of your comfort zone.
Collect your weapons and equipment and just continue fighting, killing all enemies in your way. Come out of your comfort zone and achieve everything.
14. Always try to be away from negative energy otherwise they will attack and kill you.
Negative people will spread negativity everywhere. It is your duty to keep a distance from them. Be positive no matter what happens.
15. We should help our friends whenever they need help.

Don't let your enemies know your future plans. Implement them secretly and let your success make the noise.
17. No work is completed with frustration, so try to remain cool and make quick decisions.
Frustration and being angry is one of the reasons that you fail successively. Try to be calm and prove them wrong when you get the next chance.
18. In the last, the guy who is smartest, powerful and brave will win the chicken dinner.
The guy who thinks smartly does proper plans and implements them correctly gets to taste the chicken dinner.
19. There is always one winner.
You have to become that winner in order to taste chicken dinner. You have to defeat them all and become first.

WADA WELCOMES SIGNIFICANT DECISION BY COURT OF ARBITRATION FOR SPORT
 |
CAS issued a final award confirming Anti-Doping Rule Violations (ADRVs) in the cases of the Ukrainian track and field athletes, Olesia Povh and Olha Zemliak. Both athletes were convicted of using a prohibited substance based on the detection of non-physiological levels of testosterone in their blood serum samples following analysis in the WADA-accredited laboratories in Lausanne, Switzerland, and Seibersdorf, Austria.
The testing was initiated by the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) of the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF). This led to the subsequent investigation, which resulted in these important convictions. The measurement of testosterone levels in blood serum constitutes a further tool for Anti-Doping Organizations (ADOs) to detect and prosecute doping, even where urine samples might be reported as negative.
WADA Director General Olivier Niggli said: "WADA welcomes this decision by CAS, which could have a long-term positive impact on clean sport. I would also like to commend the AIU for their excellent work which led to this outcome. The decision sets an important precedent and this new method of detecting doping represents another way for ADOs to secure Anti-Doping Rule Violations against those who choose to cheat. It is a significant victory for clean sport and for athletes around the world."
Significantly, CAS ruled that there could be no doubt on the evidence that the method used in measuring testosterone in blood serum was scientifically valid, paving the way for further examples of this method being used in the future.
Olesia Povh was sanctioned with a four-year period of ineligibility for intentional doping while Olha Zemliak received an eight-year period of ineligibility as it was her second violation.
