What's on your mind?

I found the old SimCity 3000 videoclip and due to its low resolution I was about to ditch it for good. Nonetheless, I didn't and now I suspect that there's something totally suspicious about a game trailer that might have been released back in 1999. That's the same year the game was published! OK, let's say this came to live after the release of the Unlimited edition back in 2000...

Hit the fast forward button till you reach the 0:34 mark and you'll understand why I'm a bit concerned about this.

Well guys, there's a sale on GOG right now as some of you might know after getting a couple of PM's in regards to what seems worth buying there and playing during the weekend. I gotta say it's about to end so you've got just a couple of days to make a quick decision so to say.

I know its strength is offering you all those classic games most gaming sites discarded long ago. OK, some of them are also available on Steam for sure, but GOG doesn't force you to use their "all encompassing and all spying" web browser interface like Steam does.  Perhaps that's a slight advantage for casual players. Just saying.

And yeah, you can get new releases like Baldur's Gate 3, too. (For some reason I often forget to add the genitive s while talking about that game. )
I didn't know it had drawn some inspiration from D&D.
Yet, I prefer playing other types of classic games like SimCity and Railroad Tycoon.
 I dunno, I just like sandbox games for some weird reason.
One game that doesn't catch my attention is Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition.  Let's just say I'd only get the classic engine and nothing beyond that point.  Not saying I'd buy it any time soon, people.

Well, at the end I got both Baldur's Gate classics, Railroad Tycoon 2 and a city management sim. So I was and gotta be busy in the next couple of days or weeks. Perhaps it could take me event months to finish them or go beyond any crossroad I might encounter in my PC adventures.  I don't like to get obsessed with a single game or the like, especially true when I consider how I haven't played a lot of them, both free and paid ones.

OK, it's not my fault. Sometimes you hit a wall when you realize it's too hard to read a minuscule wall of text. Games like King's Bounty series, especially classics like The Legend, can make you feel a terrible headache after a while, be it mental or physical.

  Really?  I mean really???    I just had the plumbing fixed two months ago because the garbage disposal decided ... JUST THEN...  to have its warranty expire and then SPLOOSH  water through the floor into the basement and onto my washing machine.   And yep, its warranty JUST expired too!!!

  That was two months ago... almost to the day... I had them taken care of.

So now, the power to my kitchen JUST DIED today.  There goes my microwave, my coffee maker, my rice cooker, my REFRIGERATOR!!! And I just went shopping and got it stocked!!!

Thankfully, the stove and oven are on another circuit.  But the Dishwasher is DEAD too.   Oh, joy... doing dishes manually... again.

I got two bags of ice at the 7-11 for the fridge.  But it didn't have suitable extension cables so I can run power to the Fridge (the main necessity).  I know my dad had ... probably 50-100 power cords...  ... but he had this annoying habit of hiding stuff where you least expect it.

Tomorrow... powercord purchases...

Yay! The kitchen's working once again. Granted, I had yum sizzle-burgers last night.

oh boy the FUNNY YEAR of 2024 is upon us! I wonder what dumb shit is going to fall upon us this year, I cannot fucking WAIT!

My predictions:
- A.I. is going to fall off very hard, leaving a complete talent vacuum among its users.
- Disney is going to have one of its worst financial crashes since the great depression, possibly even worse!
- Crypto is going to crash down to earth and in desperation crypocurrency dealers will try to sell off the stocks and pull some real shady scams.
- Bobby Kotick will be expunged from activision blizzard (OH WAIT, I ALREADY CALLED THAT LAST YEAR, MWAHAHAHA!)
- Microsoft will buy out EA
- Bluesky will fall off harder than it has already.
- No World War 3, though I can pretty much predict this for all years coming forward.
- ULTRAKILL will probably come out of early access.
- My game: Fantasia (Demo 3), will likely be on steam in first or second quarter under Early Access.
- More RM drama is very likely, most likely revolving not around me but the incompetence of the devs and Degica's translation arm. I foresee it being a BIG drama too. People all across the community have started seeing the elites for who they are and as pressure is mounting I foresee someone going nuclear, and this time it probably won't be because of me~! (They might try to blame me anyway because EZ scapegoat.)
- I may hit 3000 or even 4000 followers on twitter. I'm sure I could get 4,000 if I put some real effort in, and it would be funny to see a certain someone be overshadowed.
- My steam release will likely bring a lot of eyes onto me and my projects, but I can only speculate the amount.

So did any of you on the East Coast feel or noticed the 4.8 quake that shook New York earlier today?
