When it rains it pours for a salt storage, that’s pretty funny

I’ll say it here again, i have an 7900xtx i expect it to run silky smooth.

If it doesn’t, that’s on you brother.

I also play on 1440p and it doesn’t reach a well enough framerate at ultra settings, i set it on high and adjusted some things to lower settings to get a better framerate.

I have yet to meet the first person that doesn’t shoot me down when i share something i’m excited about.

Probably just that: “Dutch directness” i keep hearing about, which seems like an excuse for being an asshole in real life scenario’s.

That worked very well for me, turns out my job was far too boring and offered no challenges.

I made the mistake of not succesfully monetizing my workouts, because groceries got so expensive i had to stop my gym membership.

Have been a vegetable ever since, zero motivation and energy to do shit.

There it is, haha.

Gave me a good chuckle as i’m with you here.

I have a similar sentiment when it comes to ads, my device, i pay for the internet and the device is inside my home. I’ll decide if you get to show me ads.

We have a local place a couple cities over (013 in Tilburg) tickets usually are like €32 and large beer is €6 (i usually do well on 2) so that makes it €44 for a live performance from a band i actually enjoy (some pretty big names show up here).

Now of only i could still function for the two remaining workdays after a concert there, i would still go there.

But i’m probably getting old because it completely cripples me until after the weekend. Which is too high of a price as it puts my job at risk.

I wish i could endure that. I’d go nuts without my hobby’s i drop the moment they require any effort.

90% of my furniture comes from them, at least it’s repairable and high quality.

A million times better than what the average person buys nowadays

Ads are out of control, they fill my day.

My home, my rules. Ads are not allowed on the devices i BOUGHT.

99% of the targeted ads i get tend to be targeted at someone who has a family and makes 3 times my wage, so you’re wasting business resources for your own gain and wasting my time by serving them to me.

So fuck off outta my house.

I used duolingo to learn Italian, nothing ever stuck…so i decided to ad in Italian shows and movies. Didn’t help either, i think my storage must be filled up or faulty.

I never saw this ad and i tell you it took me until my fourth game before i found out about it…i was mind blown

Any social media that wants my ID becomes history, you got no business with it and i don’t trust you with it either.

As of late i’ve been leaning towards things like: “i really wish we didn’t have mobile phones” employers have been overstepping boundaries imo ever since we have them and i don’t want any of that. I’m yours for 40 hours, everything else is mine.

Along with how every device now comes with ads with some bullshit excuse, i really don’t need ads in my home i’m already bombarded with them everywhere i go.

I’m still one of those: “i love seeing peoples interests through well taken photos” instagram users, before every post was an “influencer”. Now instagram is: ad, actual ad, ad, ad, ad, actual ad. How the hell did we let that happen and why are people still looking at it…at least i wish it was just looking, with all the goddamn loud music and nonsense audio jumbled into one big mess to raoe your ears even though it isn’t even you looking at it but some brainrotten child in a mcdonalds.

I’m getting older and grumpier i guess. I should just learn to live with it.

That’s what i expected when it said “micro retirement”…something worthwhile like 6 months+

My vacation money usually goes to taxes each year as a Dutch citizen.

It’s a sick joke imo. “Here’s the money we took from your wage for vacation, but also here are the tax bills that are equal to that amount”.

Thanks i hate it.

I’m saving up my own wage for retirement and investing it myself because i have zero trust in these systems. I watched my dad get screwed out of a large part of his retirement money.

People get so upset over video games like i’m just trying to escape from life’s pressures for a little bit…calm down please.

I’ll just stick to single player games tho.

“App” and “genuine engagement” are 2 things that don’t go together.

I met my now wife through myspace back when i was 19.

I went out and always managed to find some cute girl no matter where i went, but they all lacked depth and interests. Even then, i can’t even imagine what women are like now…they probably look like a phone brand logo 24/7.

We started talking because of a friend of hers, that lasted about a year until i was finally able to meet her for the first time…turns out she wasn’t acting about who she was and had been genuine all the time.

Easiest decision i ever made.

It’s been something i’ve thought about a lot, but at the moment it feels manageable to the point other things get priority.

I don’t care Netflix. Lower the cost and let me share with my retired father again.

You advertised to me i was allowed to share and then took it away, fuck you.

This seems interesting, i’ll read it fully after work if i don’t forget.

Something has me convinced i’m depressed but the only time i ever had the posibility to look for help they sort of just worked me towards the door and cut me off asap.

But they ended up giving me some sort of anti psychotic medication, which definitely allowed me to get back on my feet at the time. (Shit was dark, i fell in a hole with covid, homelessness and unemployment alltogether with my wife and reached a point where i struggled so much i couldn’t even get my ass to a job interview).

But i still don’t know what the cause of my struggles is, only that they’ve been around as long as i can remember. Some form of psychotic whatever wouldn’t surprise me either looking at my mom and what she did. But from what i know (which isn’t a lot obviously) it seems more like depression.
