Subnautica 2

Subnautica 2

Update: we beat all the content in 4 days, and the only thing left is just to make your base better. After trying out Sub 1, the devs are really being jerks this time around. In 1, you can kill the fish or run them over with your sub and they go splat and die (hilarious), while in 2, they don’t let you do anything to them for woke reasons. They got rid of the knife. They got rid of the freeze gun. It’s early access, but they don’t actually want the things from 1 that made it better. Sub 1 has a way more epic intro and first gameplay. Sub 1 gives you this thing you hold that makes you swim fast, while the duplicate in Sub 2 is super slow, and you don’t even notice the speed increase while doing it. Just about everything they’ve done in 2, is worse than 1, other than improvements to graphics and building. They took in $60M then are jerking the players around on what they want (attack fish) or faster swimming.

Earlier Post

It’s early access. The two kids (adults) and I all bought it for a total of $90.

Update: the devs told players to go play “Sons of the Forest,” which to me looks like a better game then had to apologize to the community. Another comment said they removed guns from the game due to some shooting, which is lame, if true.

We played for about 6 hours, then it seemed like we basically beat all the content. However, once we built some subs, we did find some more content for more than 2 days of play. Day 4.

To me, the game is super boring. You can’t fight the fish or loot them. You just die from them. My daughter went back to play Sub 1 again to check the differences. Sub 1 had better subs, and a knife to fight fish and a dive suit with a drill. This version you just have to be abused by the fish with nothing you can do other than armor up your sub. It’s early access, though. Pay $30 for an unfinished game instead of paying $60 for a released unfinished game as normal haha.

  • The gameplay is just swim somewhere, drag the shit back to your pod. You can improve your base, but why? It’s kinda boring in my opinion. It was putting me to sleep. It was only fun because I was playing with my 2 children.
  • The tools you build require batteries, so you have to go back and craft batteries and replace them as they run out of power repeatedly. Kinda annoying.
  • Can’t really customize your character much, yet, and their choices are lame and woke.
  • Managing all your stuff is a pain. Keep building more storage space. I’m just dropping shit on the floor or going to get more portable storage, then dropping that on the floor.
  • You want to explore, but you’re always running out of air, even with the upgrades. You’re like this exploration would be enjoyable if I weren’t running out of air.
  • Things you think you should be able to loot, you can’t loot.
  • The story people are blathering on about shit we didn’t care about in the background. haha.
  • We built a sub, then all 3 of us were on it. We keep going into areas that are unfinished.
  • A giant ass clam eats someone, and they didn’t even die.
  • You are often WAY far from your base, so it takes forever to get back to it. Super annoying. 500M from your base. Even with the boost, and the boost items, and fins. The vehicle can for sure help there.

Basically, you’re paying a $30 downpayment on them finishing the game someday. Early access is such nonsense in my opinion.

Maybe it’s a good game for little kids. I was wishing I was just cruising the web instead, watching a show. haha.

 

The Boyz Finale was horrible

The Boyz Finale was horrible

Everyone is spamming “It’s what Clara wanted” for how bad show ended. Now it’s in line with Game of Thrones, Lost, and more for having the worst ending that ruines the whole show.

SPOILERS

  • They have Gen V spinoff, 2 seasons, where they build up a black lady with the power of blood manipulation and bring people back to life as the answer to Homelander. Then she appears in the ending for a little bit, and they say they don’t need her, and she drives off. That invalidates 2 seasons of that show. And the girl could have actually helped in the battle.
  • Invading the WHITE HOUSE is just going down a $10 set, a tunnel as 2 people shoot you from above. In the dark. haha. So stupid. Any sort of movie that invades the White House was better (Olympus Has Fallen)
  • The final battle is just in the Oval Office, where there was just minimal damage
  • Amazon put out hype posters/advertisements about the final battle none of which happened
  • Fan movies have better endings.
  • Soldier is just dumped in the fridge
  • The smart chick does nothing all season.
  • The DEEP dies to an octopus, which he supposedly has power over. He’s not tough enough to take a hit? It goes right through him?
  • NOIR 2 dies to just a knife but takes 50 caliber shots no problem.
  • Annie is built up over 5 seasons, then her battle is lame, and she does nothing. She just punches, flies, and throws. No massive electric battle.
  • The battle in earlier episodes with Soldier, Butcher, the kid, and Kimiko was better than the SAME battle in the finale.
  • Homelander can’t chop Kimiko in half with lasers when he did in earlier seasons
  • Homelander can’t fly away.
  • The show creator has TDS and spent the seasons trying to bash MAGA, Trump, and especially bash Christians instead of making a good show. haha.
  • They ruin the show, then expect you to jump right into their new spinoff. Their spinoff sapped the money needed to have a decent season 5 and an ending to the original flagship show.

Yellowstone (SPOILERS)

Yellowstone (SPOILERS)

So season 1-5 of Yellowstone is about saving the ranch

1923, is about saving the ranch

1944 is going to be about saving the ranch

1887 is about getting to the ranch

but they SELL THE RANCH? WTF. Their whole universe is based on saving the ranch then they fuck it up. What was the point of any of it? It’s like fucking Game of Thrones.

MARSHALS

Also, what’s with all the spinoffs? How does “Marshals” have anything to do with Yellowstone? My joke was they need to make an Indian Casino spinoff.

Then on the marshals, the wife is missing FOR NO REASON. And ”

Behind the scenes, media reports indicate that Monica was killed off to help distance the new series from the original Yellowstone. This was largely due to complicated legal and streaming rights between platforms, allowing Marshals to function as a standalone procedural rather than a direct continuation.

can’t do anything without fucking it up

So then their team is woke, 2 women, 2 dudes. Maybe it does actually represent the bad DEI hiring in person, though. As I finished Marshal’s, it’s the worst writing I’ve ever seen in my life. They spend every episode in a team of 5 just murdering everyone instead of arresting anyone. At one point, a team of 5 goes into a 500-strong biker event where they are armed and somehow survive, and all the bikers just run away. Then they have this native american on the team, which is cool, but he’s the worst actor I’ve ever seen. I went to other threads, and everyone else is complaining about his horrible acting. He’s a 1/10 actor. None of the criminals wants to get arrested; they all shoot to the death until they are killed. This show is 1/10 as well. I keep going to YouTube to watch a random YouTube video that is better than this show.

Ebay is the worst for sellers

Ebay is the worst for sellers

  • Their site loads like 1998. It loads so slowly. They hire 1,000s of H1-B employees only to never put any effort in whether the site can load. The wait time is always 5-10 seconds a page.
  • Site hasn’t improved in 26 years. It’s the same shit site they launched with. Even searching for something as buyers takes forever to load.
  • Fuckers take 13% per sale. One year I lost $4,000 in their dumb fee. You lose so much just selling anything on there between the shipping and the fee.
  • Shipping costs go up every few months to the point where it’s now $6.30 for a 4 OZ (OUNCE!!!!) item. That’s so fucking light you can’t even feel it. But still $6.30. One year I spent $3,000 on shipping. This isn’t ebay’s fault but that combined with the 13% fee makes $60 losses on a damn item and a more expensive item is like $100-200 losses vs. selling in person.
  • Cover everything in lame notifications on every page. You have to click to turn them off all the time. Then they’re always there every time you visit.
  • Spam you with stupid emails that you can’t opt out of.
  • Spam you with stupid notifications and alerts you can’t opt out of.
  • Every time you call customer service, it’s an Indian person who never sides with the seller, no matter how bad the stealing is. Their entire system is “fuck the seller.” The indian employees even face off against each other. Person 1 says OK, Person 2 says NO, Person 3 says OK. They’re not even consistent.
  • Got rid of negative feedback for buyers. So a shit buyer with 0 feedback is just as good as a good buyer with 6,000 feedback. Sellers can’t flame buyers anymore. You can’t even go, I only want to sell to 5+ feedback buyers. You can’t even leave feedback on a stealing buyer to let other sellers know the person is a thief. The stealing buyers can rob 5+ people before they are caught. Then they just create a new account. The only workaround is to leave “positive” feedback, then flame them, which is apparently against the rules.
  • The only thing sellers can do is block a person after they’re robbed by them, but the assholes just create a new account and do it again.

  • Buyers can do chargebacks then ebay comes after the seller.
  • Sellers are forced to sell to 0 feedback customers. So someone creates a burner account with a fake/stolen credit card, and you’re forced to sell to them. Then ebay protects the thief buyer throughout the entire process.
  • Ebay lets buyers RETURN SOMETHING while it’s still being shipped. The buyer lies about the return reason and gets a return before the damn item is even delivered to them. They say there’s something wrong with the item before it even arrives. Ebay should close the return at that point but they just let the person return something. You point out to ebay that they’re lying, they don’t care. They side with the buyer’s lie.
  • Ebay protects the buyer scammers who: say the item never arrived, return a broken item, or a different item after buying and receiving the good item. Ebay forces the seller to just take that THIEVING. The entire system is set up to reward people stealing on eBay. One guy bought a $600 item and returned a $300 broken item. Ebay wants the seller just to be ok with $500+ losses PER SALE!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Any high-end sale of $300-500, there’s a 70% chance (made up) of being robbed. You pray each time that you’re not robbed. If you sell high-risk items like iphones, video game systems, etc, you’re really fucked.
  • Ebay allows businesses to copyright claim you and shut down your sale if they want to sell the item themselves. So you have a new item and then the company comes after you and says “Authorizes sellers only” and ebay backs them.  You have to lie/hide your sale.

 

Revelation 13:17

that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark or the name of the beast or the number of his name.

I got Windrose, 1M sales now

I got Windrose, 1M sales now

Update: Played 130 hours. Beat all the quests but one where you fight this giant tree thing. Then I didn’t beat the last boss to unlock the new area that doesn’t exist for 6 months. It was fun having content, the game is like super pain in the ass and makes you swear all the time though. I don’t know if I can recommend it. haha.

I got the best ship and got all the weapon upgrades and maxed everything out.

Earlier

update: level 12: made it to the 3rd area on Friday. It’s the worst. haha. So unfun to fight a single monster. I also got my new ship the Frigate. Boarding is also the worst. You get stuck on all the objects on deck and then get 1 shotted. Just about everything about this game is unfun but better than Battlefield 6.

update: I’m level 10. Combat is the worst. I’ve died at least 1,000 times. haha.

I finally beat the first stage boss with a shotgun. Then made it to the next area on normal difficulty. Then

It’s a pirate game:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3041230/Windrose/

It’s super hyped. It’s crazy hard, and you need to watch videos of basic tips before playing because there are some hidden things that fuck over your complete gameplay if you don’t know.

It’s pretty addicting, but it’s literally all the same shit as SKULL & BONES. The difference is you can go to the islands and fight monsters or BUILD, but the ship combat is all worse than Skull & Bones, plus it’s mainly single player, but you can play coop. It’s not an open world like that or Sea of Thieves.

I’m realizing everything I’m doing I did exactly already in Skull & Bones, only people didn’t play that game so they don’t realize it’s also already in that game.

After 2 days of play, I’m realizing you’d be better off just replaying Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag

The combat is like WoW/EverQuest 1999 where you pull too many monsters, and there’s no way to pull a single monster, and you’re 1-shotted and can’t fight more than 1 monster at once. That hasn’t improved and is way back 25 years in the past. haha. I played for about 5 hours before going to level 2. And you die to level 1 monsters all day. The combat is this bullshit parry/dodge shit that isn’t fun at all.

It’s the most corpses and deaths I’ve seen in my life. But I didn’t know how to use a tent to set up your respawn. haha.

ship combat is no better than Sea of Thieves, Black Flag (worse), or Skull & Bones. You can board vs Skull & Bones (can’t) but the boarding is terrible.

IF YOU DIE, YOU RESPAWN BACK ELSWHERE IN THE WORLD! You don’t even go back to your ship. So you die boarding, then you have to summon your ship back to your corpse. Repair things. Then travel BACK TO THE FUCKING BATTLE. That’s terrible. You should respawn on your ship or something.

But it’s pretty fun having things to do and playing the game. It’s addictive.

It’s really well done for EARLY ACCESS and it’s cheap at $27.

STARTING TIPS

  • You can fast travel by getting into your boat, THEN fast traveling. WTF. Didn’t know that.
  • Built tents to make your respawn spot closer
  • Do all this “comfort” decoration building in town to make your stamina last longer
  • Drag a bell and wood around when you go to a new island to lay down a spawn point
  • Suggestions
    • Combat needs to be better and more fun. I spend all my time swearing about dying.
    • need to be able to separate out monsters from packs if they are so hard to kill in a group
    • Needs to dump all items in the chest key/button
    • Needs make the max crafting items key/button
    • NPC dialog UI is terrible
From, a TV Show

From, a TV Show

Update: I’m realizing this show is just LOST again. With literally the same dude. And as I type this, it’s the same line I said back below in 2023, haha. Lost ended with about 50 storylines that they never explained and i sort of expect the same with this show.

2023 Post

From. This show is scaring me. It’s basically just LOST again with literally a dude from Lost. My kids keeps sneaking up at night on me while I’m watching it. Season 1 is on Amazon. Next one you’ll have to load or something.

IMDB

Unravel the mystery of a city in middle U.S.A. that imprisons everyone who enters. As the residents struggle to maintain a sense of normalcy and seek a way out, they must also survive the threats of the surrounding forest.

This is very similar to some other shows in the past such as Lost, or Under the Dome

Cyber Punk 2077: Phantom liberty

Cyber Punk 2077: Phantom liberty

People in games are just as annoying as real life. I’m trying to do a mission and I get a text message (IN-GAME) from some dumb chick who wants to hang out right in the middle of my mission. It’s like fuck off, I’m busy. And the chick wants to go on a date or something with my female character and she’s gross, she’s not even hot.

The last time I saw annoying shit like this was back in GTA IV, I think. They want you to do a date simulator, and the NPCs lose faction if you don’t waste your time hanging out with them. They had people be your friends, then they wanted to hang out and do mini games. I don’t know why game makers are trying to replicate the same lame shit as real life in a video game, especially with text messaging (in-game).

Paramount Plus is such a POS

Paramount Plus is such a POS

The content is OK but the player is terrible. It just stops working entirely. You close the window, end task, whatever, and after hitting it never plays.

So you’re just fucked, despite paying PER MONTH, and only having ONE WINDOW open. So the only fix is to wait until later or using the dumb Windows App for Paramount Plus. But their app sucks, because you can’t alt tab or move it among monitors. It just takes up your whole fucking main monitor.

Sometimes loading things in brave also works but even that doesn’t work all the time.

Also they don’t seem to have Yellowstone despite it being their network.
