Back in October of 2018 i posted  about whether or not to leave multiplayer gaming behind

a link to that is below

Should I give up Online gaming?

So in the end i ultimately decided to quit but when my last psn 1 subscription that i got in 2017 ran out on June 22nd my *friend* renewed it against my wishes through a code he got from a code generator pretty questionable if you ask me anyway  i decided to let the renew run out and end multiplayer on my terms and on July 22nd 2019 i left multiplayer gaming behind completely and even stopped watching the gta youtubers who i use to watch

*Note: seriously considering if my friend is even a friend anymore at this point

As the months went by i decided to find out how much i had wasted on Rockstar’s pay to win gta online microtransactions well below are my findings

Gta shark cards	Cost of card	Number bought	Total cost
Red shark	£1.99	2	£3.98
Tigershark	£3.29	2	£6.58
Bullshark	£6.19	1	£6.19
Great white shark	£11.99	9	£107.91
Whale shark	£31.99	1	£31.99
Megalodon	£64.99	2	£129.98
Total spent on shark cards			£286.63

So as you can see i blew £286.63 on shark cards but according to my family i got off lucky when others have spent much more

so once the subscription ran out i had already got rid of all my Rockstar games and blacklisted them from my wallet permanently. i also am thinking of deleting my Rockstar social club to fully cut gta out for good

So what do i think now after being out of multiplayer gaming for 9 months?

Well after 9 months away from multiplayer gaming things are better once you throw away multiplayer gaming and honestly quitting grand theft pay to win auto online and multiplayer gaming overall was the best decision to make because i got other things done that grand-infestation-auto online was slowing down.
Frankly i wish i had never set foot in the infestation of a multiplayer pay to win game and wasted 2 years of my life play and money on the predatory and insidious shark card microtransaction which frankly have no place in gaming
Would i recommend Grand theft auto online or red dead redemption 2 online hell fudging no in fact i regret buying Grand theft auto 5 with my ps4 and i have blacklisted Rockstar games and take two from my wallet since that is how you make change by voting with your wallet and to be honest i will never ever buy their games ever again so they can go fudge off and take their predatory practices with them

I just wanted to share my feelings after making a hard choice
so everyone see you next time and stay safe out there 😉

So a year has passed since I started my blog and in that time I have gotten over 25 posts with over 500 views and 180 comments not bad for a year but I couldn’t help but notice that my winx club posts do better than my non-winx club posts and I managed to get a guest post on my blog

well starting a blog was a challenging experience since I had no idea at first what I was doing but after I while I worked it out, meeting fellow bloggers like Tori and Sirenix-Winx who are great bloggers and an inspirational one

now onto the most popular posts I have done

Review of Winx club Season 8 trailer

It seems people really liked my review of the season 8 winx club trailer where I criticised the current winx season before it started

Thoughts on Winx Club 1×03: Save the first dance

I honestly was surprised that it did so well and became my most popular post of 2018 for all the wrong reasons cause of an argument

Review of Winx Club 7×14: Tynix transformation

I had a hard time criticising this episode because it was one of my favourite episode of season 7 cause I honestly thought it was a very good episode

Random observation: Alfea

it was my 2^nd most commented on post even go on a tangent about harry potter even though it was supposed to be about how bad Alfea security was

Review of Winx Club 2×16:The fourth witch

this one was honestly a fun episode to review for Halloween cause it fit the day perfectly and was an enjoyable and one I still recommend

so my plans for the blog going forward is to try and get more posts out and try to have a consistent upload schedule and get more guest posts so happy 1^st anniversary to my blog

what are your favourite posts on the blog do let me know in the comments and I’ll see you all next time

I apologise for this post being late it took longer than i thought 

March 28^th 2019 would have been the 10th anniversary of the Una-di-noi-winx blog but you won’t find it cause it shut down in October of last year for reasons I could understand anyway I found the blog not too long after I started watching Winx club and I looked at that blog every single morning when I woke up to see what people had said on the recent blog posts and the blog was very well designed heck I’d say it was perfect for what it was and the name fit perfectly

 

It’s final day before it shut down was plagued with technical problems like a database error but the next morning I expected it would have gone down by the time I woke up but it was still there until just gone 7am when pages 4 and beyond became inaccessible but I could still read the first 3 pages but by 20 past 8 in the morning the blog became completely unavailable

 

when I was using the blog I enjoyed reading the posts that the admin and guests had put but if I were to say what posts were well done the first were the what if Wednesday’s posts which really went into great detail about topics like places we’ve never seen in Winx club or ways rainbow could develop the specialists and paladins which were very informative but out of all of them my favourite ones were the career for Tecna post which was very detail in covering how Tecna could become a journalist which I could honestly see happening and the post about Musa’s dad remarrying cause the discussion on that was really really interesting to read

 

the next thing I loved about the Una-Di-Noi-Winx blog was caption contest which I wish I had taken part in and I even wanted to submit an entry for the contest which would have been Daphne and Bloom commenting on Diaspro’s failed assassination attempt or even a pic for a caption contest but what really made me like the caption contest was the funny caption users had made for each one seriously I got a few good laughs out of what was written like say for example the caption for the scene from season 6 ep 8 where Tecna was looking at the her new bonded pixie and I quote ‘Who are you and what did you do with Digit’ but my favourite caption had Flora basically reacting to what was her season 8 fairy form which honestly made me smile.

A little side note

“I’ll openly admit I have been considering doing a caption contest at Christmas for a while now but I’m not sure how to do it”

the Thursday have your say was honestly very good cause some of the topics that the admin talked about were very interesting to me like is Aisha a secondary leader and the why Bloom was right to run away and the other topics that Admin talked about were enjoyable to read and very informative

Fanwork Friday was a nice thing on the blog where brilliant fanworks and pieces of fanart could be seen that were very well done my favourite was a fanart of Bloom and Kiko

Admin’s episode reviews were very informative, the admin took time and was very through pointing out things that didn’t work or brought up stuff that others may have missed

onto the Admin’s musings and rants which I liked what the Admin’s musings and rants were since you never knew what the admin would be musing or ranting about it could be anything that the admin had on her mind unfortunately I can’t remember any of them but they were fun to read

now onto All the users I met

so what could I say about the Admin well the admin was very nice and had a lot to say especially about things that she liked and supported and even the things she criticised, she is a very kind person and someone I personally respect and honestly think she is a great blogger and a great person and she brought some anime that I’ve never heard to my attention and I’ll probably look into them at somepoint

Power of Charmix

Charmix is one the nicest user I have had the pleasure to comment with, her winx etymology posts about the meaning of the winxs, specialists and villians’s names were very informative and very well written and I was sad and Charmix is a very respectful commenter who I feel is kind and respectful to whatever she is commenting

Will N

Will was a funny user to talk to but he was serious but my favourite thing about Will was his puns which if I’m being honest are better the puns made by the va for yang from rwby and I really loved the life of posts that he did which were brilliant to read.

Sirenix-winx

well Sirenix-winx is a very nice user who I think has great potential to be one of the best blogger I’ve met, I’ll admit I’ve not read all her blog’s posts given how many pages there are I’d probably not be able to read them and I tried to read all the Una-Di-Noi-Winx blog posts but I couldn’t and recommend her blog

However my biggest regret will always be that I started commenting on the blog 17 months before it shut down because if I had been commenting on it sooner I could have said more and contributed more

If the admin of the blog sees this I hope that they know that they’ve managed to change my opinion on some things about Winx club and I wish the admin of that blog good luck in all future prospects

 

 

 

 

I’m trying to decide whether to give up online gaming but I should probably explain how I got to this point

well I grew up on single player games with ps1, n64, gamecube but I wasn’t an active gamer until the console I used for some years was the PlayStation 2 that I got for Christmas where I played single player games more specifically the 3 ace combat games along with a star trek video game whilst the 2 ace combat games on PlayStation portable got me into a franchise I’ve grown to love and fostered my like of airplanes but maybe I’ll do a post on why I love the ace combat franchise someday.

In 2014 I got a Xbox 360 to replace the ps2 and I played mostly single player games but the only time I played multiplayer on Xbox 360 was when they made Xbox live gold free from the weekend but I didn’t get a Xbox live gold subscription but in 2016 when I upgraded to my ps4 I got into online gaming with gta online and no man sky later getting elite dangerous but out of the 15 ps4 games I’ve bought over the last 2 years two of them are pure online gaming whilst the others are single and online gaming which I’ve enjoyed playing cause I met new people but lately after hearing about some of the practices of the video game publishers that they used to make money and witnessing the whole loot box controversy began to make me think if online gaming is worth doing but if I gave up online gaming it would mostly cause of economics in how much an online subscription cost which went up last September and the amount of money I’ve spent on Gta online sharkcards which I have no intention to repeat and dissatisfaction at where online gaming is going with games adding expensive items that would take ages to grind for which I honestly don’t like and this games as a service model which I’ve grown tired of.

So what do you all think should I give up online gaming and stick to only singleplayer games from now on?
