Sold my 1986 Laser Tag
Saved that crap for 25 years and it was only worth $80. haha

I got Barqs
After like 7 months – 9 months, year, who knows. Finally found some. WTF is going on. You can always get it at a fast food place but never in the can. I bought 6 cases. haha.
It’s got too much sugar but it tastes better than regular coke. Diet Barqs is nasty though. It’s made by Coke.
Also not found in a year is MEXICAN COKE. You can buy it in singles at food places for like $3 but the cases at Costco are gone. That stuff is the best.
China needs to pay for the virus. hah. Too bad our leaders are paid by them.
Don’t you have phones?
Version 1.1
One day I made a chat joke about “don’t you have phones.” and THEY had a complete meltdown. I had a NEGATIVE 98 thumb downvote chat emoji going on me. I had destroyed their fragile world. And that was even 1 and 1/2 to 2 years later. That’s more downvotes than any upvotes on anything I ever said. haha. Better to be hated and known and liked and unknown? haha.
This place had made its success off humor but past 2005+ that humor was literally banned. they removed funny audio in remakes.
Every time I saw that guy I wanted to yell out, YES I DO HAVE A PHONE. IT’S RIGHT HERE! SEE?
(he’s actually a wonderful guy IRL, he was one of the only 2 employees to survive the North office closure)
One day we were both in the same line at Disneyland and he was another line ahead. But the line would wrap around and line up next to each other every so often. I was just dying to not say each time. “Yes, I have a phone.” (line wraps around, meets up again, repeat)
Then at the very end, it runs on a PC. It was all for nothing.
I have a phone.
Phone App Icons
It would really help if not every damn icon was RED or blue. You can’t find anything. I put all my fast food and grocery store apps on one page and they’re all RED. Then every other dumb app for say banking is blue. Use more colors.
The World
I feel like the world completely died in March, 2020 and we’re living in the aftermath. Nothing is the same anymore. Nothing is as good as it was before that point. We have to go on though right?
The bible says the world is going to continue to decline until it’s the absolute worst and then Jesus comes so it’s never going to be the awesome future world of the movies. Instead it’s going to be the Mad Max world.
What do I buy?
Got everything but a boat.
Stranger Things 4
It’s out.
Overall it’s pretty good and super high quality vs. the garbage they usually show you on Netflix. Only a slight amount of wokeness.
Yikes. They invested all this money in these kids, like the whole network. Some of the pretty ones are growing up not so pretty. Some of the cute kid ones are growing up scary. Some of the ugly ones grew up better looking. It’s all over the place. Like reality.
Chrome Tips
- If you get “Per Page Zoom” you can set the zooms per tab by holding the CTRL and the mouse wheel. However, you have to install this program to make it work. But I use it quite often.
- Dark Reader – Covert people’s webpages to dark auto. You only get f-ed here and there.
- Lastpass
- Nimbus Screenshot (for work screenshots or anything really)
- Adblock for Youtube
- Adblock “pause once” if they complain.
- Grammarly
- Page Refresh (if you ever have to fight people for crap on a web page)
EA is reportedly seeking a sale or a merger
EA is reportedly seeking a sale or a merger
I’ve hated them since the 1990s when they would sell me upgraded versions of my favorite games : NHL, Maddin or Budokan in 1989 for $50. I’ve been waiting my whole life for them to fail like Blockbuster because they’re pure evil. They also ruined the game industry with their hourly switch lawsuit. They have had some really good games here and there but only because they bought the companies that make them, not due to any work by themselves such as Battlefield (which BOUGHT and they ruined), Apex Legends (bought them), Mass Effect, Road Rash, NHL 94. Almost none of the success was ever due to them doing anything. They pretty much destroy any company they buy. They’re the GameStop of publishers. They rip people off for full price for some spreadsheet changes of stats in the games with YEAR + 1. They’re pure evil. I enjoyed being their competition but now most of the AAA companies need to fail due to their lack of originality.
Consumerist rating as “Worst Company in America”
EA won with 50,575 votes or 64.03%. This result came in the aftermath of the Mass Effect 3 ending controversy which several commentators viewed as a significant contribution to EA’s win in the poll.
Medieval Game Mordau is awesome! $12
I played for like 6 hours. It’s so fun. You can go to custom servers and just brawl with 8 or so people. That was a lot of fun, or join (4) game types+ and huge numbers of players.
I was asking what’s different from this and the 2 other medieval games we were playing the other years. I forgot the answer.
Anway the only lame shit is these guys stand around playing the guitar and not participating in the battle. They expect you to not kill them but I kill them to pad my numbers. In the spawn area there was 4 people doing it in a hippy drum circle/hacky Inot yet figured out how that is done but they were playing sandstorm. Fucking hilarious.
The voices are also really funny as is some of the customization people do. Maybe I should try to post some videos but I still don’t have acceses to adobe premier anymore (was using my work account).
After the game is done you get levels and gold to buy cosmetics/weapons. One guy was level 234 and I’m level 4. haha. This one dude was taking on 4 people at once.
It’s so much fun (and cheap to buy). I was using a ballista to spam into battles because I have a masters in artillery from Battlefield 3. But I hit so many of my teammates that I was banned from the server for 30 mins. They have catapults but they super suck to aim, don’t enjoy. You can be an archer. People throw rocks which is funny.
My kid and his friends got and I bought it. It’s $11 on CDkeys.com.
Looks awesome. I saw it being played next to me. I want to snipe with bow and arrow. When you cut off people’s heads their screen rolls. haha.

Island Way Sorbet at Costco
This is seriously the best thing ever. We got them like 10 years ago and I don’t know what happened in between. But I said to buy them everytime you go. The coconut is for porkers, 190 calories.
Island Way Fruit Sorbet, Variety, 12 ct
I want to
crawl back into the 1980s and stay there. I wish time travel was real. Screw mobile phones. Screw the internet. Screw PC games. In my town I grew up in, if I go back there it’s 100% ghetto with gangland flagged cop cars patrolling. When I grew up it was a very nice place where people took care
of their houses and didn’t see much crime. There were 10+ arcades in town.
The movies were so much better and there was some Sega/NES games during that time as well.
Everyone was too lazy to read the paper and who wanted to waste their time watching TV news when they could be doing something else. For the next 20 years assholes came to your door to try to get you to subscribe to the paper though. We were better off not being instantly informed.
Iraq and Saddam were our best friends! Osama was our friend too. You could get on an airplane without all the bullshit security and actually meet people when they arrived in the airport.
This is typical boomer shit where everything is better back in my day but that’s definitely true for the 1980s, 1960s, 1950s. 1970s I’m not sure cuz of gas/inflation but Disco and the music was awesome. You just have to skip World War 2 and the 1990s seriously blew IMO.
F the future!
Worst Soda Ever
It sounded good, Mango Orange. This thing tastes like PLASTIC. So gross.
Got a Ninja SP351 Foodi Smart 13-in-1 Dual Heat Air Fry Countertop Oven
Wow. It reheated Pizza way the f better than the microwave. Totally recommended. We have no idea how to use this yet.
It flips up vertically but the con is that you have to pull out these 3 things inside when you want to use it. If you find storage for them then it’s fine. Does toast pretty well.
Evil Dead Game
N0 idea if it’s good. My son said he saw something that said it was cool.
