So that’s why Instagram is the way it is, i assumed it was fairly small but it has attracted a rather toxic userbase and i don’t actually enjoy it anymore.

It used to be a place where i could share my joys and people with similar interests would follow me because they enjoy my joys too.

But now it’s just tiktok, at least i assume seeing it’s all reels and loud noises.

Or bad performance on near new overpriced hardware.

I finished the story and did some sight seeing and tried to build an outpost to make fat stacks but somehow i couldn’t find the right location after 4 hours of searching and that’s when i ditched the game.

I enjoyed it for about 70h, then i got sick of all the loading.

I just need properly updated skyrim. Better graphics, similar amount of loading screens, better npc’s, better mechanics but the same old fantasy setting.

Oh and all the mods, something about sculpting my own vuloptuous barbie doll character to turn into the ultimate killing machine.

I have those magnet balls and over the years (sounds more dramatic than it is) i bought 10 sets which usually sit on my desk in some fancy shape as decoration.

They can get fairly expensive (mass/price) so i opted to buy a single set every so often as i haven’t found a magnet shop that sells individual balls for less.

Sometimes i get so invested i’ll mess with them for hours.

I tend to do the same, also for those websites that come with a secondary pop up.

Makes me feel like they really don’t give a fuck, so why should i then and it’s easy to click back and try the next website in the rows of results.

The weirdest one i found was a couple days ago and i kinda give them props for it, as it made me go: “woooow almost had me.”

They had this whole standard wall of text with reasons to get you to accept and i didn’t see thr reject all button. It was a fairly lenghty wall too so i started scanning it for recognizeable words until my eyes passed: “reject” in the text. It was regular looking text but clickable.

Every other website i visit has a different tactic of hiding their reject button.

They will even give a second pop up leaving you unable to use the website in hopes of you clicking accept anyway.

All hail Gabe

I bought it after the bad news and right before they came with updates as the price was good.

I run it on a 3070 and left out the dlc when i heard: “the game will be more demanding” which was my sign to uninstall and move on.

I enjoyed it for roughly 200h and got a second wind from edge runners where i modded Lucy into my game, all in all i really enjoyed myself.

Our groceries cost as much as ordering in food did 5 years ago.

We barely did as it was too expensive, the future needs some drastic adjustment otherwise some bad shit is going to happen.

Last time (and first) i went to therapy i was low on money and because of our insurance i “only”(be warned, veru european amounts ahead) had to pay my “own risk” clause which sat at €385. But i REALLY needed some form of help during that time, i had some job interviews and i was physically unable to drag myself to them.

I got about halfway and just break down completely, so i was desperate and literally stuck in life from my point of view.

So i went to therapy with my last money and ended getting 3 sessions and a “we can’t help you there is nothing wrong here’s the bill tho”.

I still don’t know how i managed to get out of there, but i can still feel it pulling in the background…this constant dragging brake.

I don’t think psychadelics can get me out of this, i tried weed once and man did i have a bad time. I’ve always had this: “i wouldn’t mind not existing/suicide would be great right about now” kind of brain and the weed didn’t help the worse part of that battle.

Same but i never made it past 50h where Skyrim got 1500 and counting out of me as there are far less annoying things to deal with.

We were talking about video game characters it’s implied ya goofball. Lol

You are on the right track for a part, but also what else should i call it huh?

When i make a character i make a character. If it’s gay i made a gay, if it’s trans i made a trans, if it’s hetero i made a hetero.

I don’t give a damn, it’s a character in a game.

These people would prefer if you use random made up politics in line with the world it is set in.

Instead of real world politics dragged into a fantasy setting. That’s why i can understand their point just because i understand where they come from doesn’t mean i agree with it or support them.

Heck i made a transgender in cyberpunk because i can, a lot can be said about that too. I don’t give a damn about what people want, just do it but accept that not everyone is going to like it nor agree with it and if you can’t deal with that then do not do it…you are not strong enough to cope with the downsides.

I can get behind the whole: “i’m playing games to escape from the world, stop dragging the real world politics into games” sentiment, but!

I made a trans character in cyberpunk because haha look a penis and boobies, Apparently Diego is now in a gay relationship with Sam…something about Sam and Cora (i find them adoreable, i’m just sad i can’t give her all the books i steal) made me prefer them and…well i’m gay it seems lol.

Even more layers to roleplaying yay.

I worked at Albert Heijn in my teens and they stopped selling coca cola as they couldn’t agree on a price.

Cola wanted to increase the consumer price to €1,35 for 1.5 liter bottles.

It took quite some time before the store had coca cola in stock.

I bought a bottle a couple weeks ago as we had some friends over and i laughed so hard out of misery. That same fucking bottle now costs €2,49 at Albert Heijn.

Store brand is 89 cents, which is what we used to pay for original cola .5 liter bottles.

Guys, it’s just water with a bit of flavouring in it. We should all just collectively stop buying these famous brands and watch them burn. Lol

If i don’t see the value i’m pirating.

Money is tight, don’t expect me to pay for a play button that you’ll take away the second i can’t spare the money. It means there is no value delivered for my money so i don’t have a reason to spend my hard earned money.

Especially when the amouny is as significant as 10/15€. Fuck i would’ve bought a cd for each month i could spare that money.

I do everything on a roadbike and fixed gear, which are claimed to have the highest risk of getting a flat tire.

I usually have 2 flats a year which cost around 6€. I usually get a new pair of tires roughly once a year “just to be safe” when i notice the rubber showing oddities or they start losing grip a little. I usually go for continental GP (4kII/5k) tires if they are discounted and pay roughly 80€ for a pair.

I’m curious to see if this “no flat” tire will be cheaper and if it can be run tubeless.

I’ve known Bethesda as the: “fun bug ridden producer” i’m curious to see what this does as it’s time to step away from delivering broken stuff.
