  • I used to play one of those demo disc games where you get to fly an aircraft and do missiona, but back then i had bo clue what the mission was i was just happy being able to fly.

    I never stopped playing games, i was always taught that you can’t pilot when you’re colorblind so i was convinced video games would allow me to do things real life would never let me.

    Skyrim really caught me and after that cyberpunk took it’s place, i just love being rewarded for your work and getting to do cool shit with that money.

    Real life barely feels like you’re being rewarded anymore imo.

    I’m just so tired of ads nowadays, ads for cars i can’t afford, ads for crap i’m never going to buy, ads for the supermarket i’m going to no matter if they have some discount…it’s all useless and a waste of my time and invasion on my peace.

    I bought the devices, i pay for the internet connection and i pay the rent on this house, i decide what makes it inside my house.

    I don’t need this funny clip my supermarket made to market overpriced holiday food 46 times a day that lasts 60 seconds and is only funny the first time i see it. I’m not going to buy a tiny christmas cake that barely feeds a child for €15, realistically it’s value to me is €1,50 compared to my wage and amount of food i get in return. I’m buying store brand m&m’s and a loaf of bread like i do all year.

    If you can’t keep existing without shoveling truckloads of ads into my face, then go bankrupt…i don’t give a damn. You’re not worth €16 a month to me either or whatever the price is nowadays. Just fuck off i’ll get my entertainment elsewhere, heck i might dust off that ps4 and buy used dvd’s for 25 cents a piece.














  • You won’t get me off adblock, as of recently i’ve come to find we get significantly more ads compared to friends and family.

    My dad plays wordfeud, so i install and play a set with him…about 5 seconds in i get frustrated at the 4th ad and my dad goes: “which ads”.

    My friends keep telling me i’m taking the youtube ads far too serious as they are only 10 seconds and show it to me too.

    My youtube ads are 1 minute unskippable blocks before and after 1m 51s videos. I’ll get a 1min ad block halfway into a 5 minute video even though youtube themselves claim they don’t do that.

    How the fuck am i so fucked when it comes to ads, my dads phone is almost completely ad free. Heck the google top suggestions that are basically paid for ads don’t even show up on his phone.

    He can play those free apps (advertisement feeding software) without getting any ads and he’s adamant his phone isn’t modified.



  • I know it’s not about me, but this definitelt cleared up why i run from people in my free time.

    They always express how they think i do things, like i’m at work or something. While i do things for joy, i take a detour home on my roadbike because the speed i can propel myself at brings me joy and a bit of a thrill too. The scenery is also very enjoyable.

    But then another roadcyclist shows up and tells me how i’m doing it all wrong, how speed isn’t a good measurement of performance.

    Fuck yo performance brother, stop. It ruins my fun.
