  • i was hired for 3 days and now i already have to send shit back… IN TRAINING. THEY FIRED ME IN TRAINING. it’s a good day today

    i feel like total shit, i’ve been lied to from the start and now my anxiety levels are going haywire

    this was supposed to be my first job, this was the only company (a subcontractor actually) that actually gave a shit to the point of calling me, the rest ghosted me or just straight up told me to fuck off

    this is a job where i had to lie all the time, down to my name and origin (or a lack thereof), down to “i have an offer just for you, a loyalty offer” and shit. this is a job where i had to put up with customers that will swear their asses off because someone else lied to them and i am supposed to ignore them. i can’t fucking do any of that

    tomorrow i will go to uni and shit, i really need rest to compensate for all those 3 days and shit




  • tried playing call of duty zombies becausr hakim liked it. ended up spending so many hours shooting nazi zombies (this is a hint on an upcoming post when i come back home! any questions about “what cod did you play” will be answered there! i tried black ops 2 but i generally don’t like cod. the fact that it’s funded by the us army doesn’t help!)

    i played a ton of beta minecraft. yes, i know about better than adventure. yes, i know and use beta unleashed. i built a castle yesterday.

    to be honest, i didn’t play much as i focused more of my time on exams

    my favorite genre is still sandboxes. i played beta minecraft for half an hour trying to make a statue and many hours on a barn (tree farm!) and a castle. juggling blocks in my inventory has never been this easy and this fun

    i am looking forward to more homebrew on older consoles. the ps3 recently got gamemaker games like undertale, sonic mania is fully playable and minecraft b1.7.3 is partially playable on the wii. i want MORE. if i knew how, i’d port an underrated indie game (and a friend of mine’s favorite game) known as “aquaria” to the ps3, it already has a switch port and a psp port, why not the ps3?

    switch 2? nah, we’ll already have the switch 3 https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=OZpH-1Qin-U

    jokes aside, the only consoles i have are the ps3 and the wii. if it can be emulated and jailbroken, and it will, would be really neat. nintendo dmca-ing emulators kinda made this hard





  • i know people that use tablets and phones to type out entire essays and stuff… how?! the keyboard feels really bad no matter what i use, i’d rather use my laptop. i don’t care that i can use my actual keyboard, a computer feels smoother for that purpose alone

    another example are kiosks. like in a fast food restaurant. i tried one of those and it didn’t feel responsive just as you said

    how is the pinephone pro in general? i can’t afford it and i don’t know if it’d be viable sooner or later. currently i have an s9+ and i’d need to switch to a new one, hoping for a xiaomi or anything with support for custom roms. i won’t be able to get my hands on a pixel tho

    i also hope china breaks new ground chip-wise to be honest




  • hey fellow foss games enjoyer! thanks for the reply!

    it’s not just the regular usage of a modern-day smartphone that sucks. for instance, playing on a phone (statistically one of the largest demographics in terms of video games, don’t let the pro g*mer propaganda get to you) is genuinely not fun at all. no tactile feedback unlike a keyboard or a controller and to get those you need intricate set ups that hold your phone and turn it into not-a-phone that not only is harder to carry but also defeats the purpose of a playable experience easily played from the magic slab in your pocket.

    back when phones were little tiny bricks like the nokia or flippies like that one motorola i constantly played jewel quest on as a kid, you had physical buttons. a directional pad with a middle clicky button, standard stuff. not made for games, but it felt usable. now swipe, tap, swipe, tap, triple finger tap, whatever. touch controls are a mess!

    my fingers are too large to accommodate stuff like “claw gripping” that actual players of mobile games do. it’s a weird place to be honest

    for elderly family members that just require to send and receive phone calls, mobile phones are a total mess. i have to help my grandma constantly because it’s either “swipe up to answer” or “look at the top to press the green button to answer”, or even “press the right button to answer which is a bit green, the left one is a bit red and that declines the call, all of them are white so you can barely see which is which” or “same thing but you swipe instead”. there’s no rhyme or reason, it’s always different. my sister sometimes uses facebook messenger even if i moved most of my family members to signal, it’s always a different way to accept the call. on a “buttoned phone”, you press the greenish button that never moves to a different place. here, you do anything based on certain types of calls. like what the actual fuck

    i can’t wait for linux phones to be viable enough, it’d be cool to run xonotic on a fone natively with no hiccups. i saw someone already run supertux on a pinephone or something, funnie :D
