There's a video I watched that demonstrated VHS quality degrading by generation. And that to me was the accurate depiction of how human memory can work like. Every waking hour, we are making new memories and those new memories have a chance of overwriting the old ones as we grow older. New experiences, new people, new places, even going different routes than your usual all can have that impact.

Some people's memories are better than others. In my case, I can't really recall a lot from my earlier childhood, it is all just bits and pieces. My teenage years is about as far back as my memory goes, my young adulthood is more remembered and the last 5 years are like yesterday to me at times.

It took Rocket League and another multiplayer game called Super Animal Royale, to cease playing multiplayer online with randoms. Friends only.

Oh and I'm permanently banned from both of those games too. At least with Rocket League, my Steam account is banned which contained a handful of DLCs I wanted and a couple of lucky trades I got when the rocket league garage was available, a site players could use to trade items with. All down the drain. All because of putting up with countless assholes on there.

So no, I will never touch games like DotA, LoL and whatever else because I'm just going to remember the tail-end time with Rocket League where it was just back-to-back miserable experiences, even when trying to be spacious in how much I play it. When things go right in Rocket League and nobody is being a prick, it is an absolute blast of a time, win or lose.

It can be completed

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.

Ha, not so big and tough are you?

People like Jake Lang, talk a tough game, but they're secretly pussies underneath.

I only have the Hercules one and about a couple Tron games, which I would've thought they'd be included too.

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.

What world do you live in, where nobody is entitled to quietness and peace? Of course there are things that can't be dealt with. You can't go outside and tell the carpet cleaning company that their equipment is too loud to stop it. That is what it is. You can't report an idiot with loud music from their car who happens to pass by.

But the problem lies when you're able to hear stupid children of a tenant through the walls directly from yours for nearly all hours of the day. When you have to actually evacuate what was once your bedroom to pile nearly everything into one living room, so now you're paying for only a third of the apartment (I pay close to $900 by the way). All because there's a couple who occasionally likes to argue around 1 in the morning and a rambling old seemingly drunk asshole rambling about shit all throughout the night at the same period of the morning.

If you're paying a landlord $900 a month, close to because RUB charges are involved (base is actually 795) and the lease agreement explicitly goes into a part of the lease agreement. Here, I've even taken a snippet from bullet point 9:

"No noise or disturbance allowed: Lessee, Lessee’s guests, occupants and invitees shall not become intoxicated, disorderly, harass or solicit residents, their guests or others, create or cause any odors or create or permit any unnecessary, unreasonable or improper noise or disturbance in or about the Premises or the building of which the Premises are a part, including and not by way of limitation, the operation of a stereo, radio or television set or playing of a musical instrument or singing in a manner or at times which might be objectionable to other tenants."

The fact that it explicitly says 'No noise' and goes a little more into it, implies my problem. Considering how much of that goes on and calling the police is my management's source of resolving things, they should be hiring an on-site residential officer or something because it'd be almost 24/7 with the rate the police would have to be called.

If your landlord is going to tell you to your face that you're entitled to your peace, they should be the ones doing anything possible to ensure your apartment is as peaceful as possible with problems they can actually deal with.

Another day of someone who thinks they know everything by their armchair.

Um, to do something?

Because I'm paying them fucking rent money and shit for a spot? Duh!

I didn't vote for him, so fuck you.
