The sheer anger and hatred of wanting to see certain, unnamed people(s) die before I do. Let the rage keep me going in order to hopefully outlive some people. Thankfully a lot of those people are either currently either middle aged to elderly or just older than me.

But that’s if nuclear war doesn’t happen because I’m in an area that will hopefully be wiped off the map and I’ll hopefully just be dust.

Got a package coming. Some time around maybe early to mid November I ordered a CD off of bandcamp and I think it’s finally arriving tomorrow. I’ll be excited to listen to it on my discman since I don’t have class when it’s supposed to arrive because of finals.

My family has always done artificial. We don’t have the tree we had when In was a child, which was a big tree that took up a good portion of the living room. We had a lot of light strings and a lot of ornaments. The base had a thing that allowed it to slowly spin and it was amazing, after it was up and decorated.

Now we have a small artificial tree that is a lot newer and not anywhere near as impressive and maybe a quarter or less of the size. It’s still good because it brings out some holiday spirit.

I’ve definitely had one of those “if I could go back” style scenarios innmy head and didn’t choose pokemon because the question didn’t include the 90s.

My plan for that would be to go back to the beginning of the 90s and basically convince Sega that I’m from the future and give them a copy of gens 1 and 2 for gameboy, alongside a bunch of ads for the game, and let them most likely mess everything up like we know they would.

But that plan hinges upon me being able to travel back in time with things instead of Terminator popping into the past with no clothes or possessions. Also depends on whether I could travel back with a translator as well because my Japanese is not good enough for a forced business meeting with Sega of Japan.

Probably do everything in my power to ensure the gaming landscape isn’t as predatory in terms of having to pay for online access on consoles and seeing the Devil itself ( big red N ) go down in flames. Also, try to make console exclusives seen as something nobody is interested in anymore and are unwilling to purchase, more or less towards the 2010s rather than the 2000s, otherwise some of my favorite franchises wouldn’t exist.

XboxLive? Find a way to fudge all the numbers to make it look like absolutely nobody was buying it!

GameCube? Find a way to ensure little to no 3rd party devs make anything for it by any means possible!

PSN? Keep that free like it was for PS3!

Would need to spend months, if not years, to figure out how to make all of that and ending console exclusives a thing, but a world without all that, IMO, would be a better world.

Well, I once went to one of those sites for making certificates for children and made my own one night while bored. I am the best beaver, according to that thing, which I cannot find anywhere on my desktop computer or phone right now.

Not gonna say where I am for obvious reasons, but it’s relaxed enough on the busses where I live. The information changes not quickly, but not super slow either. Kinda middle of the road.

The people who make these type of pictures are going to Hell for the warcrime of making these images. They all can face the wrath of my autistic hatred for all I care!

We may need a whole ass new internet.

I’d be down if we left the clearweb to the corpos and moved all the human interaction to maybe something like Usenet or I2P.

I would say I’d even be down to learn Gopher protocol, but I looked up their website and they have their own memecoin, so I’m hesitant based off that alone. Even if they say it has no intrinsic value.

If we’re talking in the morning and In need a with quick pick me up, Mr. Brown coffee.

For when I’m normal craving soda, root beer. For less common sldas where I live, it has to be Faygo, any flavor.

For alcohol, there’s a local beer brand I really like. So I usually drink that since I normally don’t have sake in stock.

For tea, anything bitter, like straight macha tea.

Otherwise, I am almost always just drinking water.

Okay, one episode I don’t remember but find the plot to be very on brand is an episode where Mojo Jojo ( the evil braniac monkey ) and Him ( in universe Satan ) basically end up, IIRC, fighting over the Rowdy Ruff Boys ( the boy opposites of the Powerpuff Girls ) because Mojo originally created them and then Him brought them back to life. IIRC, the summary is basically them bickering over them like parents on who raised them better before just being proud of their work in the end. Gonna look it up to make sure I’m not spouting out my ass.

Edit:

The episode ( Custody Battle ) is, according to Wikipedia ( grain of salt, I know ), about the Rowdy Ruff Boys coming back and they compete to see who is the more evil father.

Also, I forgot about the episode where Mojo Jojo does community service at a community college, teaching English, and somehow the whole town gets stuck with his very verbose speech patterns somehow. The show knew when to be absurd in such a great way.

Cars have been a prime example, IMO, for a long while.

Oh, the screen on your center console cracked or is out of date? You can’t fix it on your own and you need the dealership to do it and if they can’t, you need to upgrade your vehicle because they make the vehicle almost impossible to run without it.

Want to change your oil? A well known brandnI cannot think of the name of right now needs to approve! Heated seats? I think it was BMW that planned on charging you a subscription service for that.

I’m predicting in less than a decade, if things don’t change, you’ll not only be selling a liver for that car, but also all your healthy organs to be able to afford the subscription service to be able to start your car.

Oh, and don’t even get me started on the kids pretending to be adults who own a vehicle so damn tall that they have to climb into it using a step thing in the side. I’m talking average height or taller and no visible signs that they struggle to enter ( other than being too short ). It’s like watching an entitled toddler try to walk up stairs for the first time. You can’t help but pity them, or at least I can’t.

Doing more charity/community work than someone else.

As a firm believed that not telling people about the charity/community work you do is one of the most punk things out there, I just don’t like when people humble brag about helping others or the environment or whatever. It’s why I would not post about it under almost any circumstances.

Yeah, I have never gotten sick from doing that kind of stuff, so I’mma continue doing it until I get sick.

For casual time wasters, Feudal Tactics and Shattered Pixel Dungeon are good games.

In my case, nuclear annihilation. I’m in an area where there’s a pretty good chance when the clock strikes midnight, my city will absolutely be obliterated and hopefully I will disintegrate with it.

It’ll suck for any survivors, but I have a good change of not having to live through it. I’d be dead weight because of being on life saving meds, so you don’t want me in an apocalypse.

I just started the demo to the Pokemon Shard fan game. It’s looks pretty nice and plays nice as well.

I also just started playing the Dungeon Clawler beta update with the new fire character. So far, fire is a weak debuff that I could never see myself playing with intentionally.

Also just went through and got the last ducks I needed to unlock the credits level of Fling To The Finish and I think it’s clever to make the end credits a playable level that doesn’t feel out of place.

Otherwise, I have made some progress on Toon Town Rewritten. Slowly slogging and grinding my way through.

I view music as both art and content, considering I’m basically always listening to it in my free time if I’m not watching or listening to a video. I absolutely LOVE it!

Normally, before a couple Christmases ago, I would just buy some wired Sony headphones and call it a day because they just worked. Exception being a pair of Skull Candy headphones I bought because I’ve been unable to get the headphone jack working on my laptop after installing Linux, but that’s off topic.

A couple Christmases ago I got a pair of over the ear Beats ( usually prefer in ear, but whatever, it was a gift ). They have basically been exclusively what I use to listen to everything on my devices that have Bluetooth capabilities. They are the absolute best headphones I have ever owned.

My tastes aren’t as varied as others, but I still have a wide variety of over 500 unique songs on the SD on my phone from over the years. Everything from various Chinese and Japanese songs using things like Vocaloid, UTAU, DeepVocal, etcetera, to 90s music from For Squirrels to R.E.M. to Soul Coughing, to anime music to a little bit of Sonic music.

I know this will kinda dox ( doxx? ) where I was for Thanksgiving, but I went for the 2nd time to a Thanksgiving Throwdown while visiting family and saw a group local to that city live for a second time. I bought a couple of their albums last year and highly recommend the album Convalescence from The Nixon Rodeo, especially their song Deafening ( available on yt ). I would describe it as emotionally hard rock.

I was also a music kid when I was in public school. Besides the mandatory music classes I had in elementary school, I joined that school’s drama/choir for maybe a year or two, and went from 5th-12th in orchestra. Don’t have my viola anymore because I lost it in a rush move, but I now have an acoustic guitar that I’ve had for about a half a year now. Haven’t done much with it since I don’t have the money for lessons or any books to help me learn, but I’m hoping to get at least one book this Christmas. I’d go online, but with the rise of AI slop and low effort things that don’t teach you a damn thing, I’d rather get some books to start.

So, given my background, I can’t not think of music as an art.
