For the last few years I’ve tried to keep a theme for the final blog post of each year; Last year I posted my best bits from my YouTube collection in 2020, which I didn’t bother doing this year due to only putting out three videos. In the last couple of years prior I blogged about games that I’ve finished during the year. Sadly I can only say DMC 5 and AMID EVIL (Both are mad awesome games btw and both very Linux compatible via Proton), and for me that isn’t enough to end the year on.
With that being said; I think it’s a safe bet to assume that in one way or another, we can all agree, that 2020 was by far a burning dumpster fire of a year, if only we could agree on more. I learned a lot from 2020, saw so many things I never thought I could see in a lifetime; you know… like a global pandemic, a toilet paper shortage in a country that makes most of its toilet paper, idiots that are so afraid of masks that they have to attack people wearing them, fucktards refusing to understand science even if it’s literally at their fucking fingertips, a coin shortage that shit stains blamed on Bill Gates and the derp state, having to endure childish insults about wearing my “communist burka” or being referred to as a toilet paper nazi, or a derp state puppet, etc… the list could go on and on all night, and that energy was better spent on another project.
Now that we’ve arrived at the doorstep of 2019 I feel this would be an opportune time to post about what my first plans are for starting out the new year:
I’ll be possibly looking into redecorating the blog. Last time I designed this place I was minus a tablet and had no idea how it would look on mobile, fortunately I did quite well designing it as it looks just fine whenever I go to check on the blog via my Kindle. I haven’t decided yet if I’ll tweak the current theme or to move onto a different one. I’d also like to add back in a feature for clicking on images, something about this theme seems to prevent it from happening. But if anyone has some suggestions for what I could change feel free to post down below.
There will also be videos coming, especially now that the Holidays are over. It should be noted that they will take longer now to produce since I will be putting animated scenes and other stuff into them. The intro for my current project has taken up most of my time so far, but I think it will be worth it once it arrives at completion. I want to pour as much of my imagination into this as possible. Linux videos are still in my quiver too.
Streaming is also another thing that I keep telling myself that I want to do more of, but again… time constraints. Yesterday I had a lot of fun streaming Skyrim, and would love to do that again with different games too. I don’t think I’ll have a proper schedule for streaming, or even videos for that matter. But I will try to stream if everything comes together, like if I have the right game and friends for example.
Of course with every new year we just have to take it one day at a time, and if anything noteworthy appears I’ll be sure to put it up for all to see. :v:
Ordinarily I’d post about the game or games I finished in 2016, but I think I’ll take it in a different direction. Not because I didn’t finish any games, in fact I did finish one (Hard Reset Redux), but I’m playing it on a harder difficulty and making sure I collect some more info on it before I post a synopsis on it (and maybe play the original for a comparison). I think it would be more memorable to reflect on the total shitfest that was 2016.
How 2016 felt for many.
We watched celebrities and well known people meet their ends in one way or another. All tragic, though I think the most tragic of them all were Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds. I know people my age may look upon this as a bunch of old people kicking the bucket, but the way they went seemed so surprising to me. I’m really at a loss, like anyone else I feel sorry for their families. We’re all human and I know what it’s like to lose someone you really care about.
Then we also had the election from hell, with two candidates that were pretty undesirable, even the primaries were rather pitiful. I definitely didn’t feel like I missed being a small (i) independent. Though after the election I’m finding it harder to remain that way, one party is a bunch of spineless cowards and the other won’t welcome you unless you’re a straight white male. On second thought walking my own path isn’t that bad. Nonetheless this doesn’t change any outcome. The electoral college and Russia spoke for most of the country. Idiocracy is in full motion, and having listened to these idiots at work bitch and complain about the Obama Administration not doing a single valuable thing I look forward to the looks on their faces when their state provided healthcare gets revoked, or when their young adult children get dropped from their insurance plans. Some might call it heartless, but I think it’s time to play this game at their level. Some of these changes are already going to have effects on my family, and they could care less with their IGMFY attitude.
Reading and dealing with peoples attitudes since the election ended has been about as painless as a root canal with no drugs, and I’m not the only one who seems to have noticed. I only follow a handful of blogs and websites as going to official news sites or watching it on TV only serves to make you less intelligent when you’re done watching. They either post false information, or they leave out important details. The conservative owned liberal biased press is a total clusterfuck and needs a full blown enema. I’m trying not to pay much attention as it doesn’t seem to be good for my health. I expect I’ll be ranting more on the blog about this kind of shit when I have the time and energy to, have to keep my blood pressure low somehow apart from the occasional FPS or Hack n Slash.
I should probably quit on this post while I’m ahead. It’s difficult to think of positive things right now, well… I’m alive. Though for some that’s going to be debatable. I’ll try again next year.
