I have a 10-8-8-10 work week. 4 days on. 3 days off. I love it. And it’s in a retail environment too which is like a holy grail sometimes.

Any service that says I must have a 12 or 14 string password, combined with symbols, numbers and letters.

Do you know why, I have to keep resetting my password, services that have this dumb requirement? Because your fucking requirements are absurd and unnecessary. I don’t have the mental capacity to care to remember that long of a password. I have to have a document now of all of the passwords I have so it’s not forgotten. I have to have browsers autofill for me because of this shit.

In a perfect world, 6 - 8 string passwords would suffice and lots of emphasis on symbols and numbers at the very least. The longer you try making the characters of a password, the chances of forgetting increases.

Flickr does this. Some of the portals to my apartment portal does this. Portals to some of my medical information does this. It’s fucking bullshit. StateFarm does this too.

Sunday.

Everything closes early and some things are just outright unavailable for that one day. Need to get things done during the weekend? It better be all on Saturday because Sunday doesn’t give a fuck about what you need to deal with.

I’m largely disappointed in them. The one time they were needed the most, they didn’t care to show up. Like, you do not have to be knee deep in politics to understand what’s at stake and who’s running. Take a good solid 30 minutes out of your life, to research and study the candidates, the issues and think of the future of the country’s direction if either candidate and their party got voted in.

If they’d do just that, they’d probably have a better understanding. But they didn’t do that. They thought the 2024 election was in the bag and feel they didn’t need to do their part. Well, the results speak for themselves.

And nothing much more needs to be said or done, they’ve sentenced themselves to the mess that’s to happen a week and a half from now. Just as much as all of the brainwashed and braindead conservatives who actively voted for fascism.

This is a dumb headline and a dumb article. Valve is making ripples in handhelds, yes, but to say the same on PC is moot. Microsoft still has an iron grip on a large amount of PCs. There’s so few that will bother with SteamOS as OS of choice since it is a one-trick pony compared to Windows, even though it is shit right now. They still need Windows to run nearly 99% of games.

Someone wasn’t loved when they were growing up.

Same goes for the Fediverse. Can’t go on a single political instance anymore without many people just having to bring up the asshole’s existence.

Who’s expectations?

Not the people playing, that’s for sure.

I’ll go even lower and say Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and it’s one of the more remarkable entries of the series.

It took $5 Million to develop.

When you’re too focused on staring at people’s assets in public or anywhere. As a struggling porn addict, I have a bad habit where I am gazing or catching glimpses of asses and chest areas of women around public and at work.

When you’re doing that - then it’s too much.

I almost don’t want to. If you can’t handle honesty, truths or straightforward and shoot-straight kind of opinions. Then engaging in communication is simply not for you and nobody should have to walk on eggshells all of the time to appease someone’s incapable sense of getting the point.

Anytime I enter one with a purist/gatekeeper. You just can’t reason with them and they absolutely refuse to see the other side of the argument. They must always believe that their direction is the direction for all things regarding X fandoms or general hobby.

Getting dogpiled by assholes from the Steam Community because I made a post suggesting we get rid of the Jester award. I suggested it because the Jester award has been used as nothing but a badge from trolls who think honest reviews of games are a joke. I’ve had nearly 150+ of my reviews just bombarded with marks of ‘X people found this review funny’ and half of them were slapped with that stupid Jester badge.

Furthermore, I was gaslighted and antagonized both through DMs and openly on the forums to the point where I am now permanently banned from the Steam Forums in the general Steam community. I have no faith in Valve’s sluggish ways that they’ll deal with the sheer toxicity of their own community anytime soon.

And I was openly doxxed on a gossip site when that same someone openly threatened to cost me my IRL job.

I’ve been online for 29 years now and by this point, I’ve dealt with so much shit from shitty people to the point where I almost see reality as purgatory. I cannot wait until I enter my self-imposed retirement when I reach 30 years because I’ve watched the internet drown in shit with bots, AI, corporate enshittification and more.

God, I wonder how many people got those and used them regularly who are now having issues because of them?

“When does it stop? When does it stop?!”

I believe it has a use.

Like, AI can make up roleplaying assets and what graphics needed to be made to translate what objects are and everything. Stuff like that.

But using it for art contests, for bigger projects and all? It makes you look lazy.

Being unceremoniously fired and homeless.

I’m over the politics of game launchers. Like, a free game is a free game, some devs/publishers probably get paid to get their game released for free. I’ve taken advantage of them, I wish I hadn’t deleted one of my Epic games accounts before where I nearly had gotten every game that I actually had wanted that was given away for free. But I was naive because I got caught up in the stupid pissing contest between Steam fanboys and Epic fanboys.

Ultimately, it doesn’t matter. Free is free. I would rather a free whole game, than a freemium game, which is all that Steam mostly offers.

He would want to die again if he saw what Reddit turned into.

Considering how badly Eisner ran the company in the 2000s to whoever is running it now. How the company treated his brother and so on. How Disney don’t really value hand-drawn animation to the point of firing all of them.
