Poor Computers
I wanted to write this as I was actually setting up the revamped version of the kiyomizu psobb site, and while doing so I did it in a way I had to jump across 2 platforms, return to the year 2005 and come back again to 2025 to finish setting everything up.
I will write more about it in the following post, but I just wanted to say one thing.... Windows XP saved the day (once again), and why is that?
How much computer do you really need for your tasks? and how horrible and sluggish computers are turning out to be, for office work, for gaming, all while at the same time the user experience while using the devices is NOT IMPROVING whatsoever.
If anything using a computer nowadays is more limiting and more difficult than using one 20+ years ago!!!!!
What happened to all of us?? are we insane????? Right now to have some sort of basic office functionality you have to pay an incredible beefy subscription of Microsoft 365 just to have Word and Excel?
What about photo editing? Are you ready to sell your soul to Adobe for a whole year or face paying a costly fine if you bail out?????
The only thing that did changed is that now most of these functions are achieved via webapps, but I really doubt about their usefulness, do you really REALLY think you gonna do PivotTables and Macros on Excel Web or Google Sheets???
My only solace is to ask some AI about all this problems and expect a solution!!! but why!?!?
I'm really just asking these questions in a very ironic way, the real culprit of this is the real one affecting absolutely everything else in our daily life,
You will live in a walled garden using applications that are poor copycats of more complete software packages with an 'improved modern' UI (rounded corners) (FFS) that are created by a mixture of activitsts 'programmers' and indians using AI prompts to do the code grunt.
What do you expect? performance? Size?
NO!!!! GOD DAMMIT!!!! ITS OVER!!!

There are no more games.
Well, the title is a little strange but hear me out, last year I actually managed to snatch a Steam Deck for the first time and at first I was very excited I could play and bring with me all my PC games anywhere, much like I do with the rest of my gadgets in my pocket world.
However after the first half of last year I began to notice I was mostly playing old games on the Deck and smartphone games on my iPad, why is that? The last proper new AAA title I bought on steam(full price and everything) was actually Resident Evil 4 RE and GranblueFantasy Relink and VS Rising. (and this year so far only VF5 REVO but thats a 20 year old game too!) so where are my stellar new games???...
I notice theres a horrible lack of proper stories and gameplay that are actually able to 'disconnect' you enough to actually get into the game for hours and hours or days even so it's becoming more and more difficult (at least for me) to play new games.
I thought it was only something from my side but i've noticed several people on the net complaining about exactly the same, there are no good stories now at least in the mainstream CS games (console games),
then what is the alternative? Nintendo? oh no, not Nintendo!! children these days aren't really interested in Nintendo so the majority of the Nintendo demographic that I've seem are manchild and groomers clinging to the usual Nintendo IPs, Mario, Zelda, Metroid and whatnot. Nintendo is going the same path as Disney and LEGO....
The few Alpha kids I've met in recent times are more interested in doomscrolling TikTok, Fortnite or directly in the Skibidi Toilet,
in fact im pretty sure they decided to make up these silly brainrots of pure boredom due how boring and annoying the shows and stuff catered for younger audiences had become due of being overtaken the millenial/zoomer kidult crew and trying to shove everyone with the usual alphabet manifestos, marxism and shit like that...
So where to go if you wanna play mature games??, Mobile Games of course! since the space is very competitive theres no place here for DEI or watered down stories, games have improved a lot in quality and are catering to a more adult public,
The problem with these games in my opinion is the game loop itself is still very basic so it feels like you are playing only Visual Novels, but things are changing with games like GFL2, ZZZ, NIKKE, Blue Archive and such.

Navigating ...
Many longtime readers and haters of this blog (mostly haters) always looking forward to record my rants to use them agaisnt me later in the future? know very well they get triggered by my stance agaisnt LGBT, leftism, socialism and whatnot, used to make fun of them calling them, trannies, retards, faggits just to trigger them. In retaliation they call me a trump supporter, schizo, weirdo, etc etc
However, at the tail end of last year and seeing how the world events are about to unfold for everyone I decided I'm just gonna take it easy, gonna watch anime, manga, stay away from uglyfied games full of DEI trash, play my old games via emulation and focus on more basic stuff (taking a long long mental vacation and disconnect), things are gonna get more and more insane in the world this year...
Why the sudden change?
Very simple, theres nothing we can do, we all got played (including myself) (in fact, i'm not even pro trump/alex jones anymore) and I think everyone in a way or another will begin to suffer a lot and I honestly became tired of trying to in a way 'shake them?' by triggering them, I've noticed many people, friends and acquitances too are very long gone for example still wearing masks, vaccinated, zombified by the tv, and probaly they think the same about me too(no, no, most likely cat have nod oubt anout it!).
I'm not gonna argue with them anymore,
So I'm here enjoying the bizarre ride, is like being on a train and through the window I see another train with them in other tracks but they go somewhere else and I lose view of them as I head to yet an unknown destination.
The internet supposedly was gonna be our biggest tool to be together, how naive I was, everyone got fucking atomized, I wish I could talk to little me in 1999 all excited connecting to internet at middle school at the computer laboratory and let her know about this.
"I wanna make a website!!, I want to connect with people!!" seriously little cat? lol
At the very least dont get stabbed by a cannibal out there okay?

Cute Stuff for a change?
I was never a huge fan of romcoms but I must make an exeption for roshidere aka 時々ボソッとロシア語でデレる隣のアーリャさん aka "Alya speaks her feelings in russian" I finished watching it this last december from the last season I think in a very long time havent seem an anime with very cute character design and incredible clothing coordination (everyone is so well dressed!!!).
The story is typical high school romcom comedy but characters like Alya and Syuo really carry a lot the show, theres also a manga and a Season 2 is coming out this year for the anime series.
So we have this girl called Alya transfer student from Russia that is very very Tsundere and tryhard but doesnt dare to say things up straight, instead just mumbles in russian when shes annoyed for something which is most of the show as shes surrounded by a very crazy cast, I was surprised they actually rehearsed the russian talk with proper pronountation
If you wanna watch something to kinda shutdown, disocnnect and just see sillyness around its a recommended show
Many memorable scenes but for now I leave you with the opening, you can download it at subsplease as usual.
