  • Rocket League.

    I have sank so many hours into this game, it is in triple digits. People have their opinion on shitty game studios today, but I find Psyonix practically irredeemable. Where do I begin? The community is very, very toxic and elitist that playing a casual match is a challenge of itself. You’ll be wanting to leave a match so badly, not because your team is down by goals, but because of how said team of yours got down by goals. You’ll be team-rammed, griefed and other bullshit and it’ll all somehow be your fault in their eyes.

    The worst part of all of this, is Psyonix is dogshit about enabling this behavior. You are penalized for leaving casual games early, leave enough of them, then it’s 5 minute time-out and it escalates the more times you leave matches. It’s funny how the text in the banned prompt says “leaving a match creates an unfair balance for your teammates” or some bullshit garbage. No, I disagree, because people don’t need to stomach a bad experience when their teammates decide to go rogue or the other team is busy fucking you up with deliberate demolitions. THAT is what is called being “unfair”, Psyonix, you stupid fucks!

    And Psyonix has a very absurd way with banning words. You can’t use “rammed” for some reason, that’s a bad word in their dictionary. Yeah they censor the hell out of many words, a lot of them obvious, but a lot of them very questionable and trivial. Psyonix only listens to the elitists and nobody else, if not, money because they’ve really been gutting out any enjoyment Rocket League once had with earning things and even having optional DLCs that were valuable.

    I still, to this day, hope that Psyonix goes belly up. Not because of backstabbing the thousands of players that were there for them since Day 1 and then slapping them all in the face by going Free-To-Play and then scurrying off to Epic Games. But also because of the hours I’ve had to endure filled with lots of bittersweet experiences, most of them teetering towards negative ones, because Psyonix endorses the bullshit behavior.

    Fuck you, Psyonix.


  • What you’re not really detailing to us is what exactly do you even want from a game? And if there’s an answer to that, in what way would you prefer to have played that game on?

    I think, despite the current hardware price gutting for PCs right now, we’re still in the best of times for PC games. You will not find as many great deals or sales for games on consoles as you would for PC, comparatively speaking. There is a wide range of variability in PC unmatched. Consoles have had their heyday when PC gaming was still figuring itself out in the 80s, 90s and a tiny bit of the 2000s. But, it’s almost no contest anymore.




  • Gene Simmons is a bastard who recently played down Ace Frehley’s death.

    KISS just never did it for me, I only liked maybe three songs from them. All that they were ever capable of, musically, was write songs about just plain love and cheesy at that. They were mostly a cheesy band just decked out in a gimmick more than anything and they merchandised the hell out of themselves for years. Nothing was off limits. But that didn’t make the music any better.


  • Metal does not always need to be about screaming lyrics, fast-paced instrumentals and catchy solos and riffs. It comes in a lot of forms. If you were expecting Ghost to be yet another band where the vocalist is barking lyrics or wailing them whichever, the instrumental to be just plain heavy, then yeah I can see why you’re disappointed.

    Also Arena-Rock is quite frankly a more horrible thing to classify them as. They just simply don’t fit that mold whereas Journey would.






  • I’m not a parent and I won’t ever be a parent.

    But if there’s anything I’ve learned growing up - be a role model. My parents weren’t really planners, they didn’t have plans for themselves and moreso, they didn’t have strong ambitions. So, when they had me and my sister, we grew up almost never knowing what we want to do with our lives and not having the tools necessary to get there.

    All we know and have done is work jobs that are minimum wage, paycheck to paycheck and just paying to survive another day. I’m fearful for my future every other day because, I don’t know what is ever next for me and what I could achieve that can get me out of the hole I seemingly got myself in. I don’t even know what I want to do next after I’m done with where I’m working now.

    So the point of what I’m getting at is, parents, give your children something to look forward to. Give your children a model to live by and give them the support they need when they decide to pick up on something that they want to do. It’s easier for a child to go out and do something when they know their parents did the same things, enough to also raise their children because they care. Far more than just bringing in more lives and not even giving them the blueprints needed for their futures.



  • I’m unsure the exact pinpoint moment, but I know that when Google acquired YouTube, it was like a warning sign of what is to come.

    And when tech companies began to become more aware enough to take advantage of a not-so tech savvy government, much less a barely tech savvy populace of people, that started a march for corporatization to take hold on the internet. Things gradually began to just stop being fun.

    Simply put - we were the frogs in the boiling water as techbros took advantage of all of us, acquired anything it could, then regulated everything to match their standards.
