Another day older and deeper in debt

Probably Call of Juarez: The Cartel. I wanted to play the entire franchise back to back, but it wasn’t being sold on Steam, so I had to hunt down a copy on some key reseller. Boy, do I see why it’s not on sale anymore. runs like absolute shit, incredibly buggy, cheesy as hell and with some pretty questionable game design choices. Still, it was somewhat entertaining in a “so bad it’s good” sense, and it ties into the previous games in a fairly interesting way, so I don’t regret playing it. It was certainly an experience, but it’s a very bad game by pretty much all metrics.

I guess they were driving Safely, but not carefully

“watch the ficus” - telling somebody to be more careful after they do something clumsy like tripping or nearly dropping something. I used it in front of some friends once and got confused looks. Apparently grandma used to have a potted ficus tree and used to tell me to watch it when I was playing close to it, so it stuck as a saying in the family.

I’m still in the beginning of my programming career (maybe also the end, looking at how AI is going, lmao) and at my previous job I had fuckall to do. I spent nearly a year without a project, working basically 30 minutes a day. I quit mainly because I was afraid that when I change jobs I will have say 5 years experience on paper, but the knowledge for 1, because I’ve barely done anything.

Work isn’t always about money, you also want to learn stuff so you can make even more money in the future. You can’t really do that if you get paid to watch Youtube all day.

I bought a Steam Deck so I can play games while on the go. I just kind of forgot I’m never actually on the go, so 90% of the time it’s just gathering dust on my nightstand, because I’d rather play on my proper gaming PC when I’m at home.

I also loved racing games as a kid and my first purchase after I moved out was a g29 lmao.

I’d love to have a simrig and could probably afford one nowadays, but space is really big issue when living in an apartment. I don’t really have a free corner to put it in like you.

Lanterns are a pretty significant fire hazard, i’d avoid those too

I wouldn’t really call WWE “safe”, more like “mostly not life-threatening”. Lots of wrestlers have gotten properly fucked up over the years. Yes, the intent isn’t to cause harm but with all the flashy moves being pulled you are bound to break a few bones at some point

Honestly, doesn’t even have to be old. My Toyota Yaris is a 2023 model and it has no subscriptions. Such cars still exist, but they are mostly in the lower end market, because automakers assume if you have the money for an expensive car you also have the money for a subscription.

I love Cyberpunk 2077, probably one of my favourite games ever and I’ve beaten it something like a dozen times. I still hate talking with Evelyn and doing the heist. It’s such a slog once you know what to expect. At least they made the BD tutorial skippable.

I never liked afternoon naps as a kid, so I brought some Tom & Jerry comic books to read during nap time at kindergarten. The teacher told me that everyone has to take a nap, took my comic books and never returned them. I’m now 25 years old and still salty about that.

I admit my mistake, I just quickly looked up the cheapest HDDs on google and saw some for 40 USD but it looks like they aren’t for sale anymore or something. Still, a WD Red goes for 70 bucks, which is half the price of a SSD of that size while also being more than good enough for movies.

HDDs are even cheaper and you really don’t need an SSD for movies. You can get a 4tb HDD for less than 50 bucks and that will hold more than enough movies/shows for the majority of people.
