I think CDs are superior to Bluetooth when listening to music in cars. Part of it has to do with
the physical aspect of them, CDs look pretty and it feels far more satisfying to pop in a CD
than to choose a song on a phone. Speaking of, unless you've got a playlist or autoplay on,
having to temporarily distract yourself by taking your eyes off the road to switch to a new song
on your phone is just plain dangerous. Not to mention your phone's battery will drain faster
with Bluetooth enabled.
So, I've been burning some new music to my CDs recently. One of my new CDs has
the song Remember by Ember McLain (with the instrumental). I've also burned the two albums by
the Jetzons. I'm still trying to decide on what I'll burn next, maybe some Suzanne Vega.
It's been an absolute chore to burn them though. Since my modern laptop doesn't include a disc
tray (companies call them "outdated") I've had to rely on my old 2013 laptop to burn discs.
Since it's a 2013 laptop, it's slow, dirty, clunky, but at least it gets the job done. I'm
genuinely surprised it doesn't crash in the middle of burning the CDs.
It's actually a bit frightening how so many people have forgetten how to burn CDs, or have
absolutely no clue what that even means (usually younger people). I searched up "burning CDs" on
Google Trends (yes, Google is evil, but Trends is a useful tool) and seeing the peak in 2004
compared to the flat line in 2014 hurt my soul. What was once something everyone did has
completely disappeared from modern life. Our time has passed, the world is changing, and it's
leaving us behind.
Speaking of the world leaving you behind, recently, I've been falling in love Red Dead
Redemption 2. I wrote about my experience with the first game when I first beat it on the
gaming section of my site, but I never did speak of my experience with the second game. Maybe
I'll write more in-depth about it later, but for now, all you need know is that I absolutely
love Red Dead Redemption 2.
I had actually bought the game about a week or two after completing the first game, but I never
sat down and played it until late June. I did have a brief stint with it around Spring
of this year, but my PS4 made so much noise while running the game (it's an old 500GB model)
that I couldn't enjoy it properly. Eventually, I plugged in some headphones into my controller
and began playing again.
It's probably become my most-played game in the past 6 months. I felt lost when I first played
it, but in a good way. The whole world seemed so big. The gameplay was fun, and the
graphics were out of this world. I don't think there's a single game out there that looks as
good as RDR2. It also got me into westerns. I can't wait for RDR3.
Beyond Red Dead, I've also been working on a brand new Half-Life map. It's a deathmatch map,
the temporary name for it is Canal (I might keep the name as Canal in the end, we'll just
have to wait and see). The gimmick of it is that the map is split in two by, you guessed it, a
canal. It's split into 4 zones with a giant tower in the middle, with the tower holding the
best weapons, ammo, and armour. No health though, so if you want to stay up there and prevent
others from getting good gear, you'll have to hold out as long as you can.
When... if I finish it, I'll put it up for download on my site.

I had a dream last night where I had two ice creams in my hands. I only managed to eat one of
them before I woke up. The flavour was vanilla, if you're interested.

It's been almost a year since I originally wrote about how much I hate headaches. March 22 to be
exact. I'm pointing this out because I GOT ANOTHER ONE TODAY!!! Not only that, but it always
tends to be on Mondays! This is why I hate Mondays so much, I'm practically guaranteed to have
a headache every time. Yes, I've drunk enough water and yes I've gotten enough sleep. This
sucks :/

Is it just me, or have tons of YouTube video downloaders been breaking lately? I've tried
multiple services and programs and only a select handfew seem to work anymore, most of them
just return errors. Is this another part of YouTube's push to get everyone to sign up for
YouTube Premium? What. A. Joke.

Does anybody still actually use Angelfire?
Seriously, I don't see why anybody would use it anymore. The free plan only gives you 20 MB
of disk storage, while the most expensive plan gives you 5 GB. Neocities, on the other hand,
gives you 1 GB free, and 50 GB if you pay. The most expensive plan on Angelfire costs $10
monthly, while Neocities' only costs $3.

I dreaded this day coming. Today is the day the cold weather comes in full blast. It's been
getting cooler the past few days, but today is the day that tells you "yeah, it's getting worse
from here." I hate the cold so much, I don't get people who say they love the cold at all.
Where I live, the cold doesn't come in gradually, one day it just slaps you in the face and
you've got to suck it. Goodbye summer warmth, my old friend.

How do people use the internet without ad blockers? I turned off Ublock Origin a few
hours ago and I can't stand it. Every site is filled to the brim with ads. I'm not able to see or read a
single thing on the page because the advertisments get in the way. I can't believe people can
put up with this.
I'm totally making a "Get YouTube ReVanced" and "Get Ublock Origin" button when I get the chance.

I've heard that MrBeast has been revealed to be a fraud... The picture below perfectly sums up
my opinion on the matter.
I don't like him. I watched him years ago for Bad Intros and that's it (reupload those videos
you coward). Charity work doesn't make up for being a massive fraud.

I don't like eSIM, it's more bullshit companies use to have more control over your smart phone.
I want a physical SIM please!

Sometimes, when I'm watching a documentary, reading a book, etc, when there's a huge time skip
in the Earth/Universe/Whatever's history, I hear/read something along the lines of "long after
human civilization is gone". HAHAHA, YOU WISH.
The idea that humans will be gone in the future is stupid to me. Cry doomsday all you want,
humans are great at surviving the harshest conditions. We are simply too intelligent, populous,
and stubborn to ever go extinct. You'd sooner see grass so extinct before humans do. And as for
people who say "humans will never survive the sun exploding" or "humans will never survive the
heat death of the universe", believe me, we will. People already have a deep-rooted instinct to
survive, do you really think something like the sun exploding is going to stop people from
trying? Not to mention that these scenarios will occur billions of years into the future,
no doubt humans will have insane and advanced technology by then.
If cavemen could survive with sticks and stones, so can we.

I've seen some videos on YouTube recently claiming that merely connecting Windows XP to
the internet will infect your computer with viruses. They always have exaggerated titles such as
"NEVER connect Windows XP to the internet". These videos aren't being truthful, because in most
of them the uploader is exposing XP to the internet without any sort of firewalls. The same
thing would happen if you used a Windows 11 PC, this is not an XP specific issue.
The Sonic page on my site is giving me more pain than I thought possible. The truth is I never
really knew what theme to give that page. For months I was unhappy with it, since it had an ugly
background with just 2 links, but I left it as it was because I had no idea what to do with it.
Recently I've been focusing on that page, fixing it up and giving it a new look. For days, and
I mean literal days, I sat at my desk just pondering what the page should look like. I was
thinking about giving it a blue marble theme, but ultimately I decided to give it a Sonic
Adventure 2 theme. Right now, I'm pretty happy with it, especially the scrolling background, but
the only issue I have with the page is that it kind of looks wonky at resolutions higher than
1024x768.

Today I learned that Chris Chan claims to have "transdimensional contact" with Randy Stair. ROFL
I've been having back problems for the past 2 days, which sucks :(

Five Nights at Freddy's should've ended at 3. That game was the perfect way to end the
series. Purple Guy burns to death, the spirits of the 5 children get their revenge and move on,
and the entire Freddy Fazbear thing ends. I don't care if Springtrap's jumpscare wasn't
"scary enough"

Recently, I've been looking to change the UI and app icons on my phone, mostly because I like
how the old Android UI and app icons look (death to minimalism!). I thought that since it was
an Android, it would be as easy as just swapping around some files. Wrong! Apparently you can't
just swap around some app icons. You need a 3rd party application to even begin doing that.
*facepalm* how annoying! At least it ain't Apple though, screw those guys :P

I've spend a ridiculous amount of time trying to download some old Skylanders APKs. Guess what?
They don't work, because they only run on an old version of Android! Ugh! I'll just bust out an
old phone I have and play it there.

I HATE HEADACHES!!!!!!!!! HEADACHES ARE THE WORST. For me, they seem to last FOREVER, and you
can get a bloody headache for anything! Bored? Didn't eat enough? Didn't drink enough? Slept
too much or too little? Doing anything? That's right, YOU'RE GONNA GET A HEADACHE! Mine are
super bad, I always feel like I'm out-of-commission when I'm having one. Pills don't help,
I either have to go to sleep after taking them or take a shower (because that works for me
somehow). I'm starting to feel one creeping up on me right now and I hate it, hopefully it
doesn't get worse later (I'll update you on if the headache got worse).
(UPDATE March 26, 2024: It didn't get worse :D)

Stop running around in your PJs in public. "Don't worry over what other people wear" "I don't
care what you say" are not excuses, you just look lazy.

Taylor Swift Sucks!
Seriously, she's not a good singer in my opinion! I don't see why she's so popular, I feel like
so many other artists deserve the fame she got. I also hate that I see her everywhere! It seems
like I can't go anywhere without seeing her face. The news? There she is! Out in public?
Someone has her merchandise. Fuck off woman! She isn't even that pretty or beautiful!
I've seen lots of people parade her around as some pretty jewel, but to me, she looks fucking
soulless! Her eyes don't look real! JUST LEAVE ME ALONE YOU FREAKING GOVERNMENT PSYOP!!!

A long while ago (last Christmas) I was gifted a phone. I was okay with my previous phone,
but whatever, it's a new phone! (Nathan Lineback would be disappointed). I thought it would be
like every other phone, WRONG! Apparently, damn near EVERYTHING on that
phone is integrated to Google somehow. The gallery is Google! No joke, instead of a regular
gallery, it's "Google Photos". If you sign in to a Google account on anything else, it'll
automatically integrate the photos in your "gallery" to your Google account.
Beyond that, you can't delete some of the Google applications at all!
I tried to delete YouTube, since I was switching to YouTube Revanced, but the most I could do
was "disable" it. Fuck off Google! You damn wankers!

Oh HTML, how I love and hate thee...
Sometimes, you bring me the ability to create whatever I feel like. Sometimes, you are as
stubborn as a mule. Sometimes, you work like a charm. Sometimes, you work like a bitch.
Honestly, sometimes it feels like these pages are held together by duct tape and glue, but I
would't have it any other way.

The reason I made the Spyro's Adventure glitches page a few hours ago was because of a real
experience I had on this exact day. One day ago, I completed my Spyro's Adventure collection
with Bash (Legendary Bash, to be exact, you think I'm some sort of plebeian that can only get
the regular version? I demand luxury!). Since his Heroic Challenge was now available, I could
finally beat the "Complete all 32 Heroic Challenges with 1 Skylander" accolade. When I finally
beat all of them, I got nothing besides a new voice line from Cali. At first I was confused,
but then I read online that it could be fixed if I just claimed ownership of my Skylander.
When I did that, the accolade did show up, but the final one (General Admiral I think?) didn't.
After that, I learned that that specific accolade was busted on PS3. Good job Xpec and
Activision!
