  1. Coding is sadly out of my element. Simply put, was never taught coding at all, and algebra, being part of coding, was my greatest disadvantage back in high school and college.
  2. I forgot to add that spambots are running rampant through YouTube comment sections, and what does YouTube do about them? Yep, you guessed it. Absolutely nothing.
  3. Never really been into VR, truth to be told. One is that I'm nearsighted and don't really see well when wearing VR goggles. Two is that I have limited space to move around and I'm at risk of breaking objects whenever I have to move my arms, or my upper body, around. And add that to the potential dizziness along with my lack of surroundings and I'm basically asking for collateral damage.
  4. To put it simply, Pony Life isn't bad, it just falls flat and it just screams parody and spinoff. It just didn't meet expectations after two seasons (the second pretty much the final).
  5. I read that G5 is a continuity of G4 so its likely that G5 takes place after the events of Friendship is Magic. Am looking forward for September's movie on Netflix.
  6. I'm fine with both as long as developers delivery them well.
  7. There's hardly anything to do in Pony Town anyway. There aren't any mini-games provided, and they should include those, including in-game rewards. Otherwise it just seems basic overall.
  8. Yeah, YouTube likes to push the boundaries, and it's just a matter of time before karma comes down on them:
  9. I got plenty of them: PewDiePie: Sorry, but he's gotten rather obsessive in trying to keep his crown in being the "King of YouTube" made me just go for smaller, better YouTubers that do a better job and aren't here to try and be the best of the best. Their content is just... crass. And I'm sorry to say but I'm not at all into Minecraft. AngryJoeShow: Too much false promises and seemed to rely more on reactions and movie reviews instead of doing gaming reviews. And the fact that he went political made me just ignore his channel altogether. Plus he's been wearing that same outfit all the time too. God forbid his same clothes had accumulated much odor in it. MrBossFTW: This is a perfect example of a clickbaiter that gets more views and subscribers means YouTube is run by corporate scumbags that glorify clickbaiters like this person and earn no repercussions whatsoever. If any, MrBossFTW has full immunity of ever having his channel removed, and his mindless followers will simply defend him, no matter how wrong or right. That shows how backwards YouTube has become. Boogie2988: Yes, he's had a legitimate, abusive life in the past. However, with the things are going is not looking good for them, especially with a warrant hovering above his head. When he left his mental problems unchecked, whatever's left of his goodness is just... gone. Markiplier: Personally, I don't hate Markiplier, but he's gotten too overrated for me to consider him a likable person anymore.
  10. My interest with GTA, mainly GTA Online, has decayed significantly. Far too many overpriced content released that requires an obscene amount of money for endless, repetitive grinding in order to get the car you want, only for it to not drive well. Or if you want to take the easy way out, might as pay up with real money in order to replenish your in-game money that loses its relevancy. Add that to the horrible AI mechanics in which enemies that can very easily kill you with a mere pistol, all while far away and fully armored too, as well as ridiculous traffic, and that game loses its soul and becomes nothing more than repetitive, grindy, and unappealing. Yet the fact that people defend Rockstar Games by labeling them as the "good guys" show that the fans are in total and are living in pure delusion. Yes, Take-Two Interactive is bad, but Rockstar Games are far from innocent themselves. They seem to go radio silent when it comes to ongoing problems on the PC version, where its a total hotspot for players using cheat menus in GTA Online and refuses to acknowledge it. They have so much money earned and yet rely on P2P which opens the floodgates for these kinds of people to cause as much trouble as possible and get away with it. Add that to the griefers and Rockstar Games is all smiles when it comes to seeing players trying to earn profits, only to be killed and their sales destroyed by other players who are more than happy cause as much suffering as possible. Their anti-cheat is virtually nonexistent and not only do they fail to go through, the devs are unwilling to look into those reports and ban these toxic players off. And when they do manage to ban these players, guess what? They can simply make new accounts while also buying the same game, this rendering the ban utterly worthless. Oh yeah, the fact that they weren't even caught yet surprises me. Why? Because majority of the players playing that game are minors, who aren't even 18 yet weren't slapped with a massive lawsuit because they're allowing these kinds of people to falsely submit their proof of age and let them get away with this. This is literally bad business practice. That, or they have inconsiderate parents that have no idea how to read the ESRB ratings. Why haven't they been hit with a lawsuit yet is beyond me. It makes me miss Jack Thompson. And don't ever get me started about their support either. Their responses are not only generic and bot-like, they don't really solve the ongoing cheating problem and instead insists on people to use the report function which not only does not work at all, players with cheat menus can very easily remove reports sent and even crash your game. This is just pathetic business practice, and the fact that they haven't been given any amount of punishment because of their laughable practices tells me that Take-Two are clearly bribing lawmakers to ensure that Rockstar Games never get sued at all. Rockstar's been doing incredibly shady BS, which also includes their lack of proper moderation on the players, along with allowing people to submit their false proof of age with no regard involving minors playing their game(s). Oh yeah, their community are extremely overprotective and hostile, even spam you with various, obscene words because they'll claim that GTA, mainly GTA Online, to be the perfect game there is, while hating on other games too like angry sheep. It's simply pathetic to look at. My interest with GTA after GTA Online (and GTA V) has faded, and I didn't even bought RDR 2 for the same reason. Yes, its storyline is great, but all Rockstar Games look at are dollar signs in their eyes. All content goes to their Online version, none for single player at all. They've grown to stop caring about single player and cared more about earning endless profits for multiplayer. And all content goes straight to online so good luck buying the things you want, only for them to lose relevant afterwards. That's when you know, Rockstar Games doesn't care about you, me, or everyone else, only for our money to fuel their selfish greed.
  11. Which is why mobile gaming is a hotspot for "free" games are are incredibly lucrative in nature. And sadly, Google will not care about this, and the people who make mobile games that have all three features that require real money never get any amount of comeuppance.
  12. Wanna know the irony? There are non-violent games that have serious levels of microtransactions, along with paywalls and lootboxes that require you to pay with real money in order to get the things you want. Just ask EA.
  13. I'd love to see someone try, because there are several countries that aren't going to be taken over that easily. You have North Korea who are backed by other countries who are willing to stop anyone trying to take over that continent. Or even Greenland, which is owned by Denmark, and Denmark itself isn't willing to hand over Greenland to anyone. And considering that Greenland is the least populous continent there is, why would anyone live there? Its almost always snowing, and its nigh impossible to grow agriculture due to its freezing nature, and its highly mountainous too, which makes it even more of a challenge to live there. Not to mention roads being incredibly sparse. Even Russia isn't afraid to fight back, even though it only has what? Over 100 million people living there? Yes, because the northern parts of Russia is extremely cold to the point where its even remotely impossible to survive up there. But yeah, many of the countries, including its territories, wouldn't let anyone try and conquer the world without dealing with potentially permanent consequences.
  14. Me and am actually not looking good from yesterday, sadly. Just recovering, thankfully.
  15. I completely lost interest with Sonic, along with Sega because of their pathetic business decisions and their inability to listen to the fans. Especially with how obsessed Sega is with their mascot and are in total denial that almost the majority of Sonic games do not meet expectations, which also includes Shadow the Hedgehog and Sonic 06. Sega and Sonic Team never even bothered to write an apology letter to their dumpster fire of a game that was Sonic 06. And years later, they basically paid no attention to it and never bothered making any sort of patches or improvements. This isn't Sega being greedy, this is Sega being completely selfish to their own fanbase, yet the same fanbase, aka the Sonic fandom, are filled with overprotective and self-centered people who can't get their facts straight that Sega continues to go down a downwards spiral. Yes, Yakuza and Persona are good games, but it doesn't excuse Sega for being so closed-minded because their obsession with Sonic games will eventually be the death of them. Also, for Sonic celebrating its 30th anniversary... I think Sega views their own fictional character as a god and superior than Mario. Yeah no, I'm not really at all looking to see Sonic improve. Sega and Sonic Team tried that with Sonic Forces and it was nothing more than a disappointment. Yeah, you get to create your own Sonic character, but its completely short-lived. Yes, the past Sonic games were good, but even then they get overshadowed by much later, bad games that will linger much longer than the good ones. The Dreamcast was Sega's last, good console before completely abandoning it altogether. The fact that there hasn't been a new Sega console shows that Sega themselves had stopped caring. Yeah, the original Xbox is the Dreamcast's spiritual successor because some of the Sega games were included into the console, but it still feels like Sega has lost touch on who they really are. And the Sonic fandom itself isn't any better either. They're filled with hostile and overly-obsessed community that apparently wants their characters paired with canon characters and its just painful to watch. And they get trigger happy with it too if you were to criticize most Sonic games that were obviously bad and they're quick to berate you, no matter how valid you can try to be. And so far, there hasn't been a new Sonic game with the release of the PS5 and Series S/X, which isn't surprising anymore. And when they do release it, it'll simply receive mediocre reviews like almost every other Sonic game Sega releases because Sega never learns from their mistakes, same goes for Sonic Team, and years later, they still continue in doing so anyway. They'd rather ditch all other games they made in the past and make nothing but Sonic games altogether. If a non-Sonic game is released and becomes popular and sells really well, don't expect them to make any sequel because they simply have no desire in doing so. They'll just slip back to their pathetic ways just to make themselves feel better. I used to like Sonic, yes. But the franchise, and the Sonic games, have overstayed their welcome. It's time for newer and possible better games, and even a new console too. That is, if Sega should stop being so self-centered about themselves and start listening to the community. But knowing Sega, any and all suggestions will simply fall on deaf ears like always.
  16. Legit or not, its a scam. Even dating sites in general, even if they are legit, are generally dangerous and unsafe, no matter what the commercials tell you.
  17. That's what uBlock Origin is for. Seems YouTube is finding a way to bypass AdBlock Plus. Also this:
  18. That's why AdBlock and uBlock exists. YouTube's obsession with ads show that they do not care about everyone except their greedy profits.
  19. Azur Lane, probably the only free-to-play game that doesn't contain intrusive ads or annoying paywalls.
  20. I dunno if this was already mentioned by me, but I stopped watching WWE because its gotten repetitive and monotonous, not to mention that it feels like a running joke that gets stale really fast. It has long lost its charm ever since, honestly.

    technology Discord

    So I can't help but notice that Discord's staff and support have become incompetent, ignorant and useless. They can't be bothered to ban users who deliberately cause trouble whenever they jump from one server after the next. Even with proof, they won't do a damn thing about it because they want people who run the servers to ban users off instead of the Discord staff actually suspending their accounts altogether. Even before the pandemic happened, their support and staff have become increasingly inconsiderate of their jobs. It's like they're deliberately sabotaging their reputation in order to be hated by their users. Worse yet, they seem to have stopped listening to the community when it comes to additional features, such as having their avatar icons exclusive to specified servers, and a different avatar icon to another server. It's not really hard to do, they're just choosing to be blatantly ignorant about it. It's almost as if they're becoming like Skype; a broken statistic run by morons.
  22. Here's a radio site that lets you listen to stations all over the world without the need of traveling: Radio Garden It also has an app for mobile, and it may have ads, though its cheap to have it removed, though actual, radio ads still exist.
