  • In all my days, the two most hated comments I dropped were:

    1. Explaining that traveling specific speeds is not inherently less safe, but that context of conditions and location heavily change how safe we feel.

    2. Attempting to give someone a free trip across the country so that I could have a body to assign one of her three cats to, since it was just after covid and finding any way to get a cat across the country was strangely difficult or exceptionally expensive. Apparently I’m a terrible person for not including a place to stay, or a return trip, or anything? Like… I’m trying to save money getting a cat across the country, why would I then spend more money for someone I literally don’t know? It was more of a ‘please help get cat from a to b, I’ll pay for it’ Ended up dragging my wife with me for the third person because people were being weird and angry about it.


  • While I was going through my posts on Twitter and deleting them all, I noticed that nearly all of the were gripes or complaints about something during my day. That’s not to say I had a lot of bad days but I’d be more likely to want to vent them than just vibing through the good days in social media silence. Each person is very different, but unless I was in a space where socializing was a daily thing, my tendency was to be more negative than positive Most of the time.


  • I generally call myself a patient gamer for most titles… but the monster hunter series is not one of them. Those games release in good shape, fully formed titles that don’t really need to wait on… I guess generally I’m patient when I feel the product doesn’t match the price, but in this case, I feel it absolutely does. If there is DLC, it’s either really silly cosmetic things, or a full fledged expansion on the content by at least 2x.








  • I returned mine, borrowed a friend’s Iphone for the scan, but I should have definitely gotten an official ipd reading. The set they sent me was really nice, but the ipd was wrong and I’m already kind of susceptible to motion sickness regularly.

    I got a discounted pimax for Christmas instead. It’s huge, but has a lot of features I was giving up for the smallness of the bigscreen.

    I figured I’d fill in some gaps I left out before about my specific case and why I decided to return the set rather than deal with their support team.

    1. I get motion sickness rather easily. It’s not instant while in VR, but the smallest things (like a smudge on a lens) can cause it to slowly build up until I’m unable to deal with it. That being said, something I wasn’t prepared for was that having a just the custom printed faceplate on my noggin would slowly build up that motion sickness, it’s something about having my vision obscured between my eyes that really set it off.

    2. The only way I could use the supplied headset somewhat was by placing the faceplate lower than it’s supposed to go, which after a bit caused a very unpleasant amount of brow pain. Aside from the ipd being incorrect for me, I feel that the orientation of the print for my faceplate wasn’t set up to direct my eyes to the center of the screens. Support is more than happy to help with this with no charge.

    3. I realized after purchasing it that I’m not the kind of VR player to actually need a slimmed down headset. I’m usually seated, not moving much at all besides my arms, so it’s not like it’s a big deal to just buy a ‘one size fits all’ headset that fits my playstyle a bit better.

    Used vaping to quit smoking.

    Weened off the nicotine then stop using the vape.

    Got hit with cravings hard and dealt with them.

    Been three years now. Any and all money I would have saved on cigarettes has instead funded my other half’s addiction to take out food. I’m more broke than I ever was before.
