Games

Games

I’m like 4+ months of Battlefield six and nearly level 200. And it’s SO bad. Nothing is fun in that game. They managed to make the worst vehicle version yet. Any version giong back was more fun.

So I try the Cyberpunk 2077 expansion again, and wow that’s so much better.

People keep saying Arc Raiders but I look at the trailer and have zero interest.

Game suck so bad now.

I just started doing jigsaw puzzles instead. It’s a grandma activity but I just watch a TV show while I do it. I can now do a 2000 puzzle in 3 days but the problem is how expensive they are. Because they print less, they cost more. I bought 3 of them for $30 on ebay. I’m out of room in my house to hang them up though. I have done 29 puzzles now haha

Cancelled Netflix

Cancelled Netflix

It’s such crap but at least it didn’t have ads. I discovered Netflix was hiding on my phone bill for $18 a month. $216 a year. i had no idea. So I cancel that and then the fuckers dig up some ancient credit card that was still valid that I have no idea how they got a hold of. I haven’t put a credit card on their sytem in like 6+ years. But somehow they got it, maybe off my phone company. Then they go, ok since you didn’t pay $18, now we’ll charge you $27 a month. So I had to go cancel a fucking 2nd time. Thent hey make it an absolute bitch to cancel. They fucking THREATEN you. You’ll lose all your history with us. They beg. They say ok if you change your mind, then X. Then finally escape those assholes, and they email another time to beg you to stay.

THEN today, they tried to run the expired card. Even after you already quit. Fucking assholes.

Such dipshits.

Quit having the worst content ever and raising prices and maybe people would stay.

Hulu is even worse. The ad version has 20 mins of ads for a 1 hour show all DRUG or car ads.

The dystopian future they gave us

The dystopian future they gave us

$7 gas in California. You can’t leave your house unless you ride public transportation, bicycle or have an electric car (I do). If you’re using GAS you’re fucked not because of the war but because California ships its gas from the Bahamas and it’s the only state that has this shitty gas. They also shut down 2 refineries making sure there’s not enough supply. Then add like $2-3 gallon TAX on top of the gas price. Fucking communist shithole.  The gas is $2-3 more a gallon than any other state. Then for the most expensive gas in the nation you get the SHITTIEST GAS MILEAGE off it, and it makes your car run worse and destroys it.

If you do leave your house, you’re allowed to shop only at Target, Walmart, Costco, or Sams Club (who goes there?). But instead due to the cost of leaving your house, we want you to instead sit at home and only buy things from Amazon. The real dorks can buy things from Walmart online, Ebay, or Target online.

If you want something to eat you go to a restaurant where things are only sourced from TWO food companies. So you’re eating the same slop at every place all microwaved while they lie to you and act like it’s in anyway fresh.

If you want to cheer yourself up with fast food, enjoy paying $12 for shit that’s worth like $3. Two 59 cent tacos are now $1.79 each because they forced $20 an hour fast food minimum wage then fired all the people working at fast food to make up for it. Shitty McDonalds 2 for $1 hasbrown is now $3-4. For all that $$, the food doesn’t even fill you up. Chic Filet is now $20-30 and it doesn’t fill you up at all. Then besides that, the ingredient list is a 2 page wall of text of the garbage ingredients. The only safe place left is In-N-Out.

Grocery prices shot up in 2021, and never recovered. $6 for bread. $12.99 for 12 sodas. WTF? The pricing is all based on everyone having EBT. They can charge whatever the fuck they want on groceries because 70% of people everywhere on EBT. People walk around with the EBT everywhere. It doesn’t matter how much things cost because the EBT replenishes the next month. Then there’s only like 6 companies who make the food and they’re using like 10,000 ingredients vs. Europe’s like 400. The food is such absolute shit that even 5+ years ago the food quality was better.

So enjoy your car right? Well the gas problem, but also then they make absolute shit cars now. $75-100k trucks and they’re such crap, people want a 1990s truck for $40,000-50,000 instead because today’s cars and trucks are absolute shit. Then the average price for a car is now $50,000!!! I’ve never spent more than $25k. The cars from the 2000s are beter than the cars from the 2020s. It’s going in reverse.

So your teen now can drive. But used cars are now $10-20k+. You can’t even afford to get your kid any decent car. Then ok you got the car, the insurance is now whatever $5-10k a year for kids. The only kids who can drive and have their own car now are rich kids. Especially in California, or Nevada. The insurance is based on 60 million illegals driving without insurance. But besides that, the drivers today are such complete shit, I dodge 1-2 accidents a day. So now you have to give your kid a $1500 ebike cuz none of them can afford cars or insurance. Or you as a parent have to drive them around for the rest of their lives when before age 16 kids all had cars.

So with all that, what they want is everyone at home, being tracked on their PHONES or Internet (or with spyware alexa, samsung tvs etc). And while you’re doing that, you’re paying so much for your famlies phone bill it’s worse than a car payment. $320+ a month I was paying for years. For (3) phones. What bullshit. My car payments were always under $300 and more like $200.

But anyway, they want you at home just scrolling shit on your phone or computer while while you’re stuck with ads. So you’re like ok fuck the phone or computer, I’ll watch some TV. Well for 20 years, the fucking cable bill is $100-150. So you’re like fuck that, I’ll do streaming. So the fuckers add ADS to streaming while at the same time charging you for steaming. So you’re PAYING for your own fucking ads, just like they did with cable.

Then what are the ads? 90% drug commercials. If it’s not drugs, then it’s cars. Cars you can’t even afford. Please buy the $100-150k range rover peasants.

And let’s not even talk about housing prices. $4k for a house rental. The best I saw was $3500 a month. Mine is only $2700.

So let’s play games right? Games to destract you from the above shit list. Well the last good games were like 2015 or earlier. They can’t make a single good game anywhere up to the quality (besides supposedly arc raiders) of the games you played for the first 25 years. They’re just total shit. You’re playing them but get no joy because you’re just thinking about how games were better in decades past. Max Payne? Tomb Raider? Far Cry? GTA SA. Any of those games are umakable today. Instead they want a 4/10 game with microtransactions and you’re almost forced to play it to play any game at all. Retro gaming has never been such a good idea as it is today.

Well let’s go to Facebook (boomer shit) to look at your friends and family to cheer you up, because of the above shit list. Well 85/100 posts are from STRANGERS jammed into your feed. And every 3rd post is an ad. So it’s stranger->stranger->ad->person you know. The whole feed is just trash and you don’t even see what your friends or family post. Then it’s such NOISE that you especially don’t see what any one posts unless they put a picture that grabs your attention.

So let’s sell some things in person. There’s only ONE choice. Facebook Marketplace. Which bans stupid shit for no reason or bans you regularly for no reason if you sell. So let’s sell online. There’s only ONE choice: EBAY. Mercari is crap. Which requires you to SHIP. Well shipping just went up 3x in the last 3 years. It’s fucking $10 to ship 1  pound. It’s nearly $13 to ship anything PLUS ebay steals 13%.

So with all this garbage going on, you have to stay positive and be happy with whatever is left in this world which is making food yourself while trying to skip all the processed foods and trying to skip all the woke movies, TV, or games. You’re surviving by avoiding all the globalist shit they’re trying to shove on you. And we won’t mention who is behind all this.

But every fraudster is making $5-50 million while you pay your taxes for this shit lifestyle they give you in 2021-2026 which is worse than being a pioneer on a farm in the 1800s.

 

 

Predatory video games

Predatory video games

They make it impossible to even quit the games. You hit quit. It goes out to the main menu instead of just quitting. Then you have to wait forever to get it to the main menu. Then they bury how to quit on the main menu so you’ll be stuckin these stupid games forever. Half the time I have to alt tab and end task because these fucks don’t want you ever quitting their game.

Netflix as usual: War Machine

I’m like, ok what’s going on with Netflix. I haven’t been on there in forever. I pick this movie because Alan. And it’s ok for 1/2 of it then I discover I’m in some shitty movie where it’s PREDATOR only it’s a stupid transformer. Holy fuck this movie is bad. And they have a trans army ranger too haha. You might as well just watch Transformers or Predator and get a better movie. Their robot looks stupid too.

Arkheron Demo until March 2

Arkheron Demo until March 2

This is the company that is made up of the other group of KEY ex-Blizzard people including the designer from everything from StarCraft: Brood War to finally Overwatch. It’s a bit disappointing it’s yet another diablo clone. 90% of the people who leave Blizzard just make a diablo clone.

Yet the DreamHaven games all failed that were different.

Movie: Iron Lung

Me and my kids saw it. I had never heard of nor played the video game before.

It was ok I suppose. Basically it’s the story of working for a corporation that just wants you to help them out and leaves you for dead after they get what they want.

I wasn’t especially happy with the ending.

It has like a 61% audience score. I can’t say I recommend it.

Electric Cars, such a scam

Electric Cars, such a scam

I never got an EV because they were such a ripoff but I got mine for like 1/2 off.

My 10 mpg gas was $1600 a year.

Tesla Registration $722 ($430 more)

Insurance : $600 more

So thus far, it’s only 470$ savings.

Then the tires have to be replaced WAY more often on Tesla, apparently. $1600 for fucking tires.

Then, if these fuckers manage to add a mileage tax.

But now there’s talk about a cap on gas tax for California, which if the gas was ever cheaper, then the electric vehicle would make even less sense because of the insurance and registration.

Ideally, you’d register it in another state and do insurance in another state (against the law) like some people I know.

It only plays off if you do a LOT of miles. I only drive 2,000-3,000 a year. My aunt died in Northern California and now I don’t go there every year anymore iether. Just local town driving mostly.

Commiefornia.

The Bold & The Beautiful

The Bold & The Beautiful

Soap Opera

My grandma used to watch this in like 1991 or so. When I got to college, there were only (3) TV channels. One was a gay guy traveling. So this show had chicks in the hot tub in bikinis so I had to pick this show over that choice. We had no cable at college. It was a Christian school and they didn’t want people to have TVs and banned VCRS. haha.

What’s insane is now it’s been going 39 years. 2 people are still on it. I was age 13 when it came out.  The weird thing about this is how many times they swap actors. One character has been 4+ people. What sucks is they have a good actor you enjoy then they replace it with an uglier, worse actor.

One of the hot chicks went plastic surgery crazy and now looks scary.

In the old days you’d say these shows are for women who are not at work and home all day. Which is probably true. As time went on into the 1990s, they just added soap opera elements to virtually every show so you’re really watching a SOAP anyway, on today’s TV even if you think you’re not. Every show is a cheese SOAP anyway just with better production. The only thing you see less of is the cheating, and cheesy staring off into the camera scenes.

My ex gave me shit about watching it but then watched those fake dating shows which is 100x worse.

My mind was blown when I discovered Ridge from the show is from this song:

I can’t say you should watch as it got progressively woke as time continued. We had a year-long story on AIDS. haha. But I like this one more than the other ones.

For everything in my life, this is the only thing besides my parents that has lasted from before college, after college, after video games, after former spouse, etc. I haven’t watched it in many years though. But I found season 1 (1987) that they always refer to for the next 38 years, on youtube. Pre-woke content.

CBS

CBS

I’ve avoided 99% of their shows for 40 years. To me it was the geezer network. So I try one show “King of Queens.” I’m into season 3 still waiting for one laugh. You’re like, who finds this funny? Old people. The old people who found this funny are probably dead of old age by now.

Costco Interstate Battery Returns

Costco Interstate Battery Returns

TLDR: Costco is using a new battery tester to prove your old battery is fine then they won’t honor the warranty or give you any credit for battery swaps

For ten plus years now when you are having a battery problem, you go to Costco Auto Center. You purchase a new battery. You swap it in the parking lot. Then you return the old one. They give you partial credit.

NEW POLICY – They just fucked all of that up by now pulling out a special interstate battery tester with a printer. They test your OLD battery and if it prints out a “good” report, then they give you $0 for your old battery. That’s obviously designed to stop all the people (including myself) who wait until the last minute of your warranty, then swap the battery out to get a new 4+ year run. So far all of my batterys have been bad but people do that.

SO anyway, I swap out my battery. The dumb battery won’t stay charged for more than 2-3 days. People say, oh there’s a battery drain but that’s not the case. When I swapped in the new battery it was fine. But the dumb interstate testing machine says my OLD battery is good. But it’s not good at all. Their little printout says it’s good and tested fine. So the fuckers won’t give me any credit for my old battery, despite it being a $220 battery! It’s 18 months old. So at first what I did was tried to turn my old “good” battery in for $15 credit. Then I realized that’s a horrible idea and got it back. However, what are you going to do, just store this old battery in your garage? You have to maintain it. I do have 3+ battery maintainers but that’s a super pain.

So then I just returned the NEW battery and went back to my old one, rather than spend $220 for a fucking battery. My dad said maybe you can go elsewhere and test the battery and prove it’s bad somehow.
