  • The apps is definitely a part of it for me. One if my friends got YouTube Premium, and since he has 3 profiles he can attach to it, hrs letting me use it. It’s nice for the ad free videos on my TV. But it also comes with YouTube Music. It’s honestly kind of annoying at times.

    Like yesterday I wanted to listen to an album by a band, and they only have like 2 of 3 albums. The one I wanted to listen to is the one they didn’t have. So I had to make a Playlist by finding videos of the songs.

    And thats for a band that’s not super underground. I listen to a lot of grindcore and black metal, and a lot of that isn’t even on there.

    And when you download things, you can only have it organized by albums. I can’t organize it by band and then have all the albums.

    It’s also sometimes slow to load up stuff I’ve downloaded.

    Over all its not the greatest experience. I’m currently looking at getting a mobile game device for my emulators so I can free up space on my phone, and then I’m thinking about just going back to having all the music on files on there and using an music player app. And like you said, I can have it organized how I want and customize things a bit more. Especially since I no longer have Comcast, so I can use Soulseek again.




  • Same. I think the only time I’ve ever done ng+ is for souls games. But I’m not gonna support this. A few years back I really came to terms with the fact that I’m never gonna play all the games I want to, and it’s OK if some of them slip through the cracks. Now I don’t regret skipping out on a lot of games. Like I would love another old school Assassins Creed. I’m not getting anytbing from Ubisoft. Part of me wanted to give in for that. Then I saw shit about ads on the loading screen, and said nope.

    EA. Finally coming out with a new Skate. I still gave copies of the first 3. I would buy a new one after years of wanting it. But it’s EA and Session exists. So I’m good. I’m not even gonna download their free game.






  • I feel like anytime I’ve ever taken a class to learn how to use Word, it’s been one of two things.

    First is essentially how we will use Word. It’s a note pad with a few extra things for editing text, but the main thing is headers, footers, and the margin sizes.

    Second is nothing I will ever use. When I was going to school for accounting I had to take a class on Windows programs, and we spent so much time learning how to post images, how to edit them, and shit like that. By the end of the class I could probably make a profesional looking flyer, but it would have taken half the time with any image editing type program.

    Also in that class we had a free students version of Word, which meant that there were usually steps in the homework we couldn’t do, but we still got points docked for it. Even though we all told the professor about this. So that was fun.


  • I honestly question if it even still has the same amount of traffic. Like it was no secret that site had bots. It’s been a thing for awhile. But it’s only gotten worse. I get on once in awhile for one particular niche sub. But I had to stop browsing the rest.

    For awhile, subs about pop culture and celebrities started getting to /all, but it’s posts like “What’s you favorite sitcom moment?!” AITA became even more popular, but the stories feel even more fake and formulaic. Before there were times when the top comments were bots commenting on the repost bots post. Now it’s not uncommon for people to point it out. The repost bot posts, the other bot steals the top comments and post those.

    It’s also become even more right wing in a lot of places. So depending on your political leanings, that can be a turn off for some.

    Either way, the site really has gone downhill.





  • First, things like TVs. Not only can you actually see tvs plugged in and how they look, but you can also get open boxed ones to save a few bucks.

    Keyboards and mice. You’re not gonna be able to get a complete, full experience like when you’re sitting down to really use it, but you can get a pretty damn good understanding of how it feels.

    More good products from the actual brands, instead of hundreds of scams or cheap Chinese products that will break in a month being drop shipped. I wouldn’t be able to count how many times I’ve seen the same exact product show up multiple times with a different company name. It’s one of the reasons I try to not use the vast majority of online shopping sites. Having an open market sounds awesome. You get to sell your own stuff and reach a wider audience. But people are greedy fucks and ruin it for everyone.

    Also, I sometimes like going to stores. It’s an excuse to get out of the house. It doesn’t feel like it fills that need when I’m grocery shopping, but if I’m gonna go buy something I want, then it makes it more exciting. If I got nothing else planned for the weekend, might as well.

    The only problem is that I only have BB for electronics. So the options are a bit limited.
