Don't buy Arc raiders
General | Posted a week agoYou must have heard about it.
You may have seen some stuff.
Well, I bought it when it came out, I enjoyed the first 60 nolife hours over a week (Hey I was stuck in the house) and it was fantastic time.
Now? Aaaaaaaaaabsolutely not.
What changed?
Dipshit players flooded the game and developed new asshole tactics that take 3 seconds to waste 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 minutes of your effort and it comes at zero risk.
Week 1, people were new, feeling the game out. Doing quests. Go here, do that, etc. you'd meet a guy, in-game said hi through an emote wheel, you maybe bust some of the PVE enemies up and got lots of loot and left. Nice.
*NOW* ?
Well, ths PVE-concepted, PVE-designed game has decided late in development to shoehorn in PVP. Allegedly this was 2-3 years ago, but the state of the "PVP" in the game is laughable for that amount of development time. 2-3 years development time on PVP means "We changed some sightlines, removed cool PVE features because it would get abused in PVP, made the TTK incredibly short, there is no weapon balance and shields barely matter".
Oh cool. So that was a bad decision.
It was especially a bad decision because Arc Raiders' camera system is third person, which is great...for PVE.
For PVP, you can be a little shit hiding down a long corridor around a corner (or just around a corner) and see approaching players several seconds before they can possibly see you. You camp, quietly, you wait. You step out, alpha strike, all shields gone, down to 20-50% Hp. Second shot will end them, which is about when they'll *get* to react.
"PVP" behaviour is rat bastard behaviour. Shooting people in the back when they are engaging with the PVE (Punishing PVE players for doing so as there are no protections or warnings). Shooting people when they are in a 2-3 second animation lock of looting. If you are shot and you immediately quit the loot menu, your character has to get his hands away from the loot, stand up, get his weapon around, you have to turn around, aim and shoot. It takes a very bad player to fail to backshot someone, meaning you died for looting. The counterplay to that is...never loot ever, apparently? Because, yes, some people call this a "skill issue" . That is why the "PVP" is called "PVP" is because *that* part of the PVP (No quote marks) are the scumbags who are the problem.
Let's backpedal.
Arc has 3 modes.
Solos - you go alone, can form uneasy temporary alliances with people through verbal agreement.
Duos : Friend or fill with a random and go together.
Trios : same but 3.
Now, solos were 95-98% friendly players cooperating to get shit done when I started. It's still oddly high for a toxic game like Arc, but much MUCH lower now.
Duos were roughly 60-85% KOS (Kill on sight). Meet other players? No diplomacy, shoot them.
Trios are 99.5% KOS.
So both duos and trios are functionally PVP only.
So what if you want to play with a friend and party up? Well you're forced to likely be shot even if you just want to engage with 95% of the PVE-developed game.
Because the time to kill is comically low and rat bastard behaviour is rampant, solo people have it the worst. In Duos\Trios you largely know what you get.
Solos are full of scumbags who use the "Don't shoot!" emote to pretend to be friendly, then as soon as your back is turned, shoot you dead.
Hide in a bush, camp extract with stunning or massive damage mines you often can't see until you're stunned or blown up.
There are "spite kills" of people killing people as the final extraction timer is active - this does NOT give them enough time to loot, but YOU lose your loot. Nobody gains anything, except the sicko who made someone mad and wasted their time.
That is the "PVP" in Arc.
Actual PVP is fine. Duos, trios, whatever. Still shit behaviour but *actual* PVP people are there. They largely have their corner, PVE people have their corner, fine.
But then the developers keep fucking up the most basic things since release.
We have a large, boss-tier enemy called the Queen, who guards rare loot and might drop blueprints to craft ...mostly PVE guns (logical?). The best way to fight these used to be to bring a "Hullcracker" with special ammo like little grenades to fight it. The hullcracker has been "fixed" (Hard nerfed) to do much less damage, make its ammo harder to make, stack less, cost more, and it was the SINGLE "Definitely only for PVE" weapon that had a purple rarity (Ultimate is gold, one tier higher).
Except.
You know, the other 20 players on the map. Are they going to help you fight this highly dangerous enemy? They don't have to. They may wanna just loot and not be geared up to help, which is the next best thing to them helping because a lot of fuckers come in with a Free Loadout (Basic gear, basic guns, some ammo, a few basic tools), wait till you are busy with a LOT of resources to fight the PVE boss to engage with the PVE content and spend 3 seconds shooting you in the back, wasting your time and resources and risking literally nothing. Farming back up to attempt a Queen takes 1-2 hours.
No protections, no fixes, no point. Except they added and even bigger, even more dangerous enemy to the Matriarch - same exact thing, but you know you have to spam more resources into killing it to get blueprints for guns you will rarely be able to make that are far too valuable to actually *use* because a grey tier machine gun spawning little shithead will just shoot you in the back while you are busy playing the ACTUAL GAME.
It is an absolute, miserable, total fucking slog.
The developers recently fucked up again by ...talking.
Which you'd think is better to what they did - not talking - for a MONTH.
You see, for the entire time the game was out, people knew there was a Prestige (Reset to LV 1 with some bonuses) system and have been asking for specifics, for details.
All you could find out on your own was get to LV 20 to unlock a resource pit that says find this or that, then find X of Y value and put it in the pit to get to a new tier which asks more and more shit of you.
You did it, and then it says ah cool now wait for the Expedition to depart, if you want to.
That's somewhere in the next 1,5 -2 weeks.
2 days ago, they finally told you what you needed to get the bonus skill points (Side - note : 80% of skills are misnamed, mislabelled, don't work how they say, or have comedy level improvements, like 10% at 5 full skill points, so they're worthless).
It's 1 million in-game loot value or in-game wallet value, per skill point, up to 5 million.
Now, I put approx 80 total hours into the game. I have 2,5. So who is this game for? It wants to be accessible and casual-friendly, but allows cancerous ratbag "PVP" behaviours and demands *incredible* dedication and farming with no real endgame content and literally un-engageable PVE. I should note that it will cost several hundred thousand to up your storage capacity to max so you can STORE SHIT in the first place, and at least a million in item value was sunk into the "Pre-expedition" bit, where you construct the vehicle by putting certain items and certain value items inside of it.
The developers saw fit to *finally* tell everyone this....with less than 2 weeks to go. Before Christmas. When everyone is even more busy than normal. When they have been asked since day one and they could have said.
It was found out that if you set your PC clock to the expedition departure date ("When you COULD actually reset") , a button shows up to let you - it won't work, but it'll think it can. Strike one.
Strike two, the meter counts up to 3 million, suggesting that you could get all 5 skill points for 3 mil combined item and money value, which is a *lot* more reasonable, but they never changed the UI after arbitrarily making the game grindier.
Finally, the game is $40 to start and has (had? They lowered the prices *a bit* on backlash earlier) $20 usd microtransactions. Un. Fucking. Excusable.
So the game has barely any content, that it wants you to endlessly snort, with a playerbase infested by horrific asshats who break paradigms, abuse mechanics to grief and basically cheat but "legally". They will ask you to spend time engaging with the not content, the unplayable endgame Boss Raids, nerf PVE weapons, strategies, but allow "PVP" rat behaviour to waste your time, ruin your fun and offer you nothing in exchange. They have utterly failed to communicate anything, or on time (The skill trees have no values. No this makes you 2.5% faster per skill point. One outright lies about what it does, etc).
Absolute and total amateur hour.
And it makes me *SO ANGRY*.
Because Arc felt like something special. When the playerbase CHOSE to cooperate and it lead to some wonderful emergent moments of people who are individually afraid of the big mean rocket shooting row-boat gangbang it from all angles and crush it.
You see, Arc Raiders lore is, oh shit, robots fucked us. There is one location that is barely hanging on.
So you go upstairs to loot, find scraps to keep shit going. Everyone is kinda poor, kinda miserable, but surviving and it's humanity's last stand, yadda yadda.
But you have PVP people coming out from the same location.
Getting drowned in blood and going back to the same location.
So, lore-wise, how do you justify this?
If you were in a post-apocalyptic setting and saw someone come back with shit another dude had earlier that morning, would you not immediately, violently and publicly execute them to dissuate that kind of behaviour? "Fuck you got mine" doesn't belong in modern society, nvm when you are barely barely alive.
So despite allegedly developing the PVP side for 2-3 years, they have nothing to show for it.
I'm serious. You could erase PVP by just turning friendly fire off.
I used to want PVP gone because it was infested with asshats. It still is! But while the PVP is *straight bad* (camera abuse, first shot bonus, very small TTK so nothing matters), now I just want a PVE only mode.
No sickos, no cod kids, just people wanting to co-op to engage with the story, the lore, the world. To get loot, to work towards something other than HAHA I SHOOT PVP LAUL.
If I want PVP - and PVP that isn't dog shit - I'll buy Battlefield fucking 6.
This is a key point.
Because the "PVP" (ratbags) say things like you suck, skill issue, and most importantly, "go away". "Play helldivers 2" "This is an extraction shooter".
Which is important because when I brought up that a PVE mode is required or the game will rapidly (More below), they gave a lot of harassment, insults and regurgitated the non-argument of "Well it would split the playerbase!"
So a PVE mode to *retain* PVE people sick of your shit is bad, but telling them to literally stop playing the game and hurt the playerbase is fine?
As it stands, me and a lot of my friends are tired of the game because of the "PVP" abusers. I enjoy the core game, the cooperation, looting, etc. Still.
But I can't invest any time when I'll likely have some piece of shit risk nothing and gain everything. The only winning move truly is to not play the fucking game.
The logic is, me and a lot of the PVE people will quit.
So the "PVP" rats will get bored because they won't be able to cheap camp and get easy kills - which is all they are here for. That and to make people *mad* and waste their time. Literal actual sociopaths with no empathy or compassion, just "Well this is my fun and the game lets me, so I'll ruin someone's fun and waste their time lol".
So the "PVP" rats will leave.
And all that will remain is the real PVP in duos and trios - Arc Raiders will lose its identity and become just another boring, toxic, shitty extraction shooter that just happens to have PVE, lore, quests and stuff that NONE of the PVP players will give a shit about or engage with.
With a PVE only mode, PVE people get to keep playing with the game, engage with it and complete, you know. CONTENT. ACTUAL DEVELOPED CONTENT.
"PVP" people still won't get to shoot anyone and leave, and PVP people won't be affected because either people go to PVP or they don't in duos or trios.
Literally a universally good solution.
Developers have to stop being stupid with every single individual decision since launch. Do not buy Arc Raiders in its current atrocious state, it likely won't hit you what I'm talking about until the 2 hour refund window has passed, and at that point it's too late.
Until they stop being shit, don't waste your money.
Thanks.

Weird life thought
General | Posted 2 weeks agoIn my groggy headachey state, I look at all the helplessness in my life & the world in general and I think...wait..
What if this isn't life?
What if we *aren't* alive right now?
What if this "life" is just your consciousness forced into a sophisticated movie viewer to look at someone's life?
And all the times you are helpless, apathetic, or disinterested is just where the "real you" isn't meshing with the "person you" in their actions, words, or situations?
Headache thoughts.
Always...something.
Also, merry Crimesmas month!

General | Posted a month agoHELLO! O_O
Dear sweet
mataki23 surprised me with a YCH centered around my big boy, Tal!
It's at the end of this link and features 2 slots, none of which have been claimed yet as of writing!
Obviously very NSFW, so be careful ;-D

An experience
General | Posted a month agoWhelp.
First of all, does anyone in London want to meet up? I'll be in London on June 27th, so DM me if you are in the area and want a brief hangout!
Why will I be in London at that oddly specific date?
https://www.southbankcentre.co.uk/w.....rsona-grooves/
This.
If you know someone who likes Persona, spread the link around while there are still a few tickets left.
Thank you to
Tazguul for sharing his experience going to a concert of his own. It kind of inspired me to try something new - as well as the fact that the Persona series composer, Shoji Meguro will be in attendance! Unbelievable, hope I get to at least look at him IRL if not briefly chat with my (Really bad) Japanese, bwahaha X_X.
So yeah. I imagine I'll make my way up there starting early in the day, but likely arrive around 2-3 PM somewhere, haven't done the train tickets yet.
At which point I'll probably want to immediately grab a bite to eat but should have a few hours before the concert starts at 8 PM. I'd want to get nearest to the event area cuz I don't know how to get around and I'd probably use a taxi lol.
Whatcha think? MUSIC!

A little stretch!
General | Posted a month agoHowdy ho, folks! Hope you're having a good day!
Just a little journal to say I've been largely cooped up in my home for 2 weeks since my flatmate had to go do stuff in the Netherlands. Some time next week, I'll be having a day out in Exeter. Light stuff, wandering around, going into a mexican restaurant (never been!) and meeting a friend or two at the same time.
If you are in or around Exeter and wanna have a hug, let me know!
But yeah basically just, *whew* I'm gonna enjoy that day out, gosh *_*.

Help me fuck a femboy!
General | Posted 2 months ago*Grin*
Well as it turns out, I've got a chance to get art with a very adorable femboy.
Without any further details, I wanna make this journal & ask people for suggestions on any positions they might like to see - I think leaning towards exotic or just "really hot" ones will be the call here, but I'm not that imaginative (Medically speaking) so um. Yeah!
Was curious about the idea of making a journal to crowd-source that part of the upcoming art.
This boy, whom will be unnamed for now - loves being dominated, taking cock up the ass and being a good and obedient boy. Canonically, he's a fair bit smaller than Talon (2 feet difference) if that helps.
Let me know if more info is needed and I'll append an edit to this journal.

Local park visit
General | Posted 2 months agoYesterday, I had to go by the doc for the now seven plus week old lingering cough I can't seem to shake.
Well, the chest x-ray was clear, btw - so I was given nasal spray to try against what he thinks is my sinusitis causing the cough - Mometasone Furoate - we will see how that works.
But anyway, after that I finally got to go to the local park and OH MY LORD it's so beautiful! Lots of tall trees, abundant wildlife chirping away, a pokey little creek running through the "middle" of it ;_;.
It was just so damn fabulous, really rejuvenating! Super glad about it <3

Restless dog at night. Help?
General | Posted 2 months agoUuuuuuuuuugh.
She will suddenly put her head up and act as if she heard something that makes her nervous for a few seconds before getting up and just not fffffffffffucking staying in one place.
I have to close the 2 doors out of the room because she *will* go in there, fully knowing her damn claws clacking loudly on the tiles will annoy \ alert me. She will mask this need with "needing the garden" - which she categorically does not, because once I get near her, she will walk back past me and head towards, or back into the couch-bed I sleep on.
We got night lights to help her navigate up and down the stairs because *exactly once*, it worked that she started with me but went up to my flatmate and laid down to sleep next to her and calmed down. Hasn't worked the next 2 nights.
Unfortunately, she's a 20 kg chunker and WHOMP WHOMP WHOMPs down the stairs any time she decides to come down, which is several times a night.
This disturbs everyone, probably our neighbours too.
Not getting as much, if any sleep is pretty bad for me too and I'm just not sure what to do other than shut her into the tiniest guest room with a night light all night .
If she is determined to act weird and won't react to the calming pheromone diffuser we got for her AND the pheromone collar, then I legit don't know.
I mean the next step up would be an anti-anxiety tablet like Calmex.
I'm just so fucking exhausted all the time lately because of her ;_;

PSA : Discord hacked
General | Posted 2 months agohttps://www.theverge.com/news/79203.....ta-breach-hack
Yeah, keep handing over IDs to access porn you can get in other places only for this to happen, I guess?
I've not done it. Never will.
But it's comical how quickly script kiddies went after Discord's probably wide open data storage.
Dystopia here we come lol.
For reals if you got hit with this, you should get an email from Discord about it . Change your password and anywhere else you use the Discord pass and yadda yadda.

New place!
General | Posted 2 months agoSo we've...er, I've been here over 3 weeks now.
I wrote about the electrical fire hazard & the very lazy lying dude who did nothing for multiple weeks, but that's not why this journal exists.
It's just.
So nice?
We get a lot of good breeze, I get a good view of the street (since I'm set up downstairs), the area is friendly and bright.
There is *literally*a patch of green straight across the street for Daisy since she's a diva and prefers not to poop in her own garden, so that's as ideal as we can hope for for her!
The town does feature a really nasty uphill and a fair walk into town (15 mins?) but it's just both slightly "worse" versions of the prior place. If I can get over the fuck lung, then exploring town will be great! <3
I didn't expect to like it here so much. It shows me that "different" can be scary, but it can also be good. And BETTER even!
Happy dragon times <3.

"Work ethic"
General | Posted 3 months agoLol.
Just got a call, at 5:15 PM, from the carpenter who we let know we need a minor fix from *weeks ago* who has twice said he'd call me that week (Twice not managing to for a full 7 days) that he'd like to drop by in ten minutes from the call to examine what needs doing.
Well you get to smell freshly cooked dinner cuz what is *wrong* with you.
But hey he's the gold medalist.
Because the lying sack of shit who was supposed to do a "Quick and easy" patch-up of the leaking roof tile over the *electrical fire hazard* switch was here to inspect things on the 11th, said he'd put in the work order with the real estate agent and then fucked off and didn't tell anyone anything. This was, obviously, 11 days ago. On the 19th I asked the RE Agent if they knew anything, and they said he came in, he told us about it, then said he was going to go get the tile and do it.
And still, nobody has learned anything else.
This is the guy who was "on his way here" but fell a solid hour plus outside the arrival window (WHILE BEING IN TOWN AND HAVING A CAR) because ....he had to deliver a set of keys? To someone? Allegedly? In town?
It does not take an hour to do this.
I can walk the longest ends of town in half an hour, on foot. C'mon now lol.
I guess I'm okay today just venting a bit. Lazy, lying, dishonest cunt people set me off >.>;.

LIl update
General | Posted 3 months agoYay!
Post-covid lungs fucking me here and there, but today went well.
Dog to new vet, she has her librela (painkiller, monthly) injection. It's ten mins away on flat ground VS 45 mins up two bastard up hills so ^-^; big glad.
Leak not fixed, no idea when the next step will be against that....or WHAT it will be. Bit annoyed lol.
Doing okay though. Slowly making sure the place is cleaned, cardboard is taken out, etc.
Like, very slowly. Post-covid fuck lungs just...start and go on for hours and are incredibly exhausting.
But it's nice here, even with the incredible amount of rain. There's always a good breeze through the place if we want, places are quite accessible.
I'm happier here <3.
How're folks doing?

FINALLY (mostly) BACK!
General | Posted 3 months agoHoly shit X_X.
Okay, so epic rush, the movers were super nice and worked with us incredibly well. We were very behind due to suffering with Covid, but they stuck with us and went above and beyond. Silent respect to them >.<
I think I had no real option to internet until the 7th or the 8th, where I had to put in the wi-fi enabling dongle ...that needed a a driver for some odd reason. From the included CD. I have no DVD drive.
NICE.
So I had to connect my phone to the PC and use bluetooth internet sharing to very slowly crawl online, get the drivers, and install it.
After some more finagling, I could get online using the phone hotspot feature. I have 100 gb a month data I can use, so that was helpful and faster and less anal.
Used up 42 gigs of that until today.
Internet *was* working from the 10th...but the switch box for it is in a pointless bonus square room that has up to 3 leaks in heavy or long rainy periods. It needs to be powered by a power outlet. Next to the leak. I'm sure you can see why I haven't done *that*yet.
Thing is, I live on TERF Island where the Nanny State wants to parent for parents who can't parent and I can't access porn on my phone since they forced the carrier to comply with their bullshit already.
So only now when I plugged the router up to test it out can I actually *get* to FA or any other porn site.
Also, if it rains very hard or for a long time, I have to go and turn the Internet box off and fall back to chatting via phone hotspot X_X.
Naturally lodged a "this is life threatening, fix it!" complaint with my real estate agent who contacted their "usual" repair guy who said he'd show up yesterday morning, failed to do so , so I call at 12:03 going "ok what?" They called him and at 12:07 I get a return call saying "Ah yes he will be there in 20 minutes". At 13:07, I call them and go "OKAY, *WHAT*" and so they call him again and then call my ex back for some reason (??) who's in the old place cleaning it up.
But basically, "oh he was on his way to you but someone asked him to drop off a key". Okay, so
1) communicate?With anyone? At all?
2) No, they didn't. The town is very small and even with traffic problems, 40 mins, nvm 60 should have been enough to drive up to my place, easily.
3) When he *did* show up, including me explaining what was going on, he was here less than 40 seconds, going "This looks like a quick and simple job! I'll take a look outside and file a work order" and then he fucked off. I don't know who's doing what and when next.
But all that aside, the place is cozy. A little smaller than the old place still, so some changes\downsizing were necessary. I'm in, and I'm as cozy as I can get before we unbox things and put things away, etc. New shower is nice! The neighbourhood is calmer, and the new uphill is gonna get me SLIM. It's longer and steeper and I have to come back *up* it with groceries, instead of going DOWN it with groceries like before. (Although I can and some times will cheat with a free 12:50 community bus if I'm super laden).
Doggo seems to like the place too! All calm, waggy, etc <3.
Another odd note is the internet that I got working currently is a good third as slow as what we are paying for. I suspect the provided Ethernet cable dangling out of the net box might be limiting it, but we will see.
Caught up with submissions and messages and such *guh*.

Tiny good luck feels good!
General | Posted 3 months agoWhew!
Yesterday, had to bus to the new place before move day (Saturday) to prepare something.
A simple thing, 20X2 walk up there and back into town. I was done by 14:12 but I had until 16:42 until my bus back home came because fuck this area.
WELL.
The cinema around the corner was playing The Bad Guys 2 15 mins at half past 14.
So, there we go! Had fun, out of the rain, had 15 mins to spare before the bus home so I got there easily.
That felt nice :->
Today, it was supposed to be all RAINY DEATH WATCH OUT RAIN ALERT.
*Walks dog, no rain*
*comes home, 5 mins later, slam of rain and some hail, big woosh*
This feels so good <3

Planned absence
General | Posted 3 months agoHOY!
Okay, so the furniture, me & Daisy are going ahead and leaving the "current" place on September 6th for the new place.
Because Telecoms companies are ???? not capable of ever doing this right, there will be a delay of a few days between me being there and our existing service being switched over to the new location.
They suspect that service will start some time on the 10th. I managed to get a fat loyalty boost from my phone provider in the form of a 100 GB Data cap a month that I never get close to so, uh.
Maybe I'll use that to at least keep chatting with people.
Most of my covid symptoms are gone, except random, sudden, weak to hella strong coughs.
Feels like lungs at this point. Gotta keep an eye on that.

General | Posted 4 months agoUhh.
Well, on the good news side, I finally got someone to confirm they can move our furniture over on the 6th, which was really making me nervous.
On the bad news side, the town I live in (Bude) is UTTERLY held hostage by tourist cunts.
August, they come down to infest the place, take up said space, pollute with trash and noise and just generally be horrible inconsiderate nuisances.
Well, it's August.
And at some point, one of these ill-mannered twatbags successfully gave me FUCKING COVID.
Just ran the test, came back positive. Displeased.
It gave me a completely hellish night where I must have slipped into delirium at some point because it felt like I was trying to sleep for *multiple days* and didn't manage much.
The rest is like a weak-medium flu. Aches, cold\hot swaps, odd persistent headache, bastard coughing.
I'm hoping for no weird fuck long covid. Don't need any more handicaps in my life.
To say I'm pissed off is putting it quite mildly :-\. The amount of barn-born dickheads that run around sneezing full mouth without even attempting to cover up.
Hnnnngghh..

General | Posted 4 months agoDerp. I forgot to post this!
On the 15th, we have signed contracts. We are officially tenants for the [new place] !
I had a wicked nasty heat headache that knocked me out the rest of the day. Yesterday was starting good, went out for food annnnddd another heat headache lol.
So yeah, uh!
We have to be out of here by September 9 so there will be 3 weeks and change of organizing and packing and panicking soon ^-^;.
But I like the place. It's cozy! We have to put a few things into storage that don't have a place we can realistically put them, but it should be fiiinnnneeee?
Anyway!

In case I go quiet on FA...
General | Posted 4 months agoTotally slipped my mind but uh.
Basically the UK is being extra stupid and put in a shitty law "FOR DA KEEDZ" of course, where to prove you are over 18 they want you to hand over *highly senstiive* and very personal information to a literally random company that is not anywhere in the UK and thus doesn't have to comply with GDPR requirements (IE good privacy laws) - nevermind that they will likely hold your information for months (whatever else they may say, it will be a lie).
Without adhering to this total bullshit, I may one day not be able to use FA because they don'T know I'm over 18 or not and I'm uh. Obviously not going to hand over a full photo of my passport with all my private shit in there to anyone like that that doesn't need it . So like, my airline is fine, but a bunch of false flagging cunts pretending it's for the kids? Nah.
I mean hell, this is happening because idiots can't -or won't - parent their turdbags. Easy enough to not pull out but a bit harder to give them any attention and guidance, huh? Asshat parents.
So yeah if I stop replying to stuff on FA, this would be why.
Yeah I'll be *busier* , and a lot busy as we get closer to the move date, but I'll still try to talk a little bit between tasks during that time.
Full on FA quiet means this shit happened.
Best to email me ( Talonrose7[at]proton.me and I *hate* that TalonRose was already taken. Pieces of shit) to find out where to contact me - but my FA profile has a Telegram contact too. I *am* on Discord but because of all the low-rent scammers and shameless selfish "BUY FROM ME!" artist assholes, I've delisted it. Only known friends for that one.
Oh and about the stupid new law? Very quickly, over 500,000 + people said "Ey wtf stop it!" and Parliament's very predictable reply was "Lol no".
3-4 other countries in Europe are also putting out similar shit within a few weeks of the UK one. This reeks of collusion to reduce privacy or agency or whatever - allegedly independent countries had the same idiotic idea and implement it very close to one another suddenly? No. Something is going on and regular people are the targets.
Hope everyone is doing decently enough lately X_X.

SAFE?!
General | Posted 4 months agoMAYBE?!
The real estate dudes for the one place that invited us finally called my ex and said we can come sign the contract in 1 week, which will mark the official start of tenancy.
This also means that barring gross negligence or behaviour on our part, we should be safe for 8 months (6 tenancy plus 2 eviction immediately after end of 6 month basic tenancy) , which means we are good for the winter no matter what - since we're not gross, noisy, or shitty people! WOO!
SO UH.
YEAH.
15th I'll be mostly gone most of the day, first time viewing the property live. It's still not guaranteed, if they change their minds before we sign - which they can - we are severely fucked.
But um. I'm hoping this is real and won't have shenanigans with it. The change in environs will be nice - there are actual TREES. I don't know if I've ever said but where I live has the *creepiest* fucking lack of trees. Long fields, golf courses, walking paths and parks with just. Nothing. It's wild and once I noticed it I've been creeped out a little bit :-P
RANTING SORRY.
WOO!
The real estate dudes for the one place that invited us finally called my ex and said we can come sign the contract in 1 week, which will mark the official start of tenancy.

July 25!
Morning! Stuff packed. Do my usuals, make final checks, charge phone. Time comes, I go. Bus go brr. Transfer bus go brr. Bus to airport no go brr because "roadworks" (Embezzlement) , ok. Use taxi. Sucks but nice taxi. 2 pounds vs 24.50 (ow). Once there, wait. And wait. And wait. Oh look a DELAY, how nice!
Summary : Depart at 11:30 AM UK time, arrive at the hotel in Málaga from the taxi there at 1:27 AM (Which is 0:27 AM UK time, just after midnight). Travel LONG D=
July 26!
We wake up, mess around a bit, shower and head out to explore Málaga. Grabbing some breakfast and then exploring further, we spend about 2 hours walking around actively as we check stuff out, then we return for a few hours to break. I got a little hat against the sun, which became my only souvenir from Spain (Plus a gift from the boyo I went to meet, but that is a consumable!)
Until approx 18:45, we talked, rested, messed around a bit more, then left to catch our pre-booked massage appointment! It was a "couples massage" - they call it that :-P. We just liked that it was cheaper and we each wanted one. It was an HOUR of floral\fruit scented total pamperping and relaxation and was a shining star in the trip. I ADORED it and left a 5* review for the ladies doing it ;_; .Sublime.
After that, we went straight to the pre-booked restaurant place, wheeeeeere I got food poisoning.
Here, I had "Truffles omelet" with potatoes, ham and parmesan. This is my first meal and my prime suspect because apparently the truffles can do stomach stuff to people but? It was tasty and I loved it.
2nd was "Spanish style cracked eggs with fries and ham"
And finally a "Poyoyo" cheesecake. That's all the info I have on this, sorry (Pics later!)
We then went back to hotel 1 (that my cheapskate ass suggested) and went to sleep.
Summary : Wake up, mess around, explore and have fun, relax, massage, food, back home, relax into sleep, great time!
July 27 !
5:45 AM, I start to develop a very rapid feeling that I'm going to throw up.
No guesses for what happens next.
Okay, strange. Not great, but it's been years. So *shrug*. Can't actually drink anything until 7:40 when we find a vending machine because there was no tap for us to get water from (except the bathroom and that's...not great?) and no shops were open LOL. We had a tour planned to a wonderful place called Ronda (PLEASE LOOK UP IMAGES OF THIS PLACE, IT ROCKS!) and the Tour bus left at 8 from City hall, but we were there.
Surprise!
8:22, I threw up again. It was *just* the water that I drank 40 minutes ago.
Well, shit. I can't do the tour. Apologize to people, get off the bus at a gas station. Get a taxi called, friend buys me one of those glowing blue electrolyte sports drinks that should have helped.
Notice how I said "should have"?
Taxi takes 20 mins to arrive, we drive back for like 25-30 mins, and as we are slowly walking back to rest at the first hotel - yup. Third throw up of glowing blue liquids. It's at this point I definitively realize "Oh. Cool. I can't even keep down ANY LIQUID" which is um, very dangerous, especially in a high-heat country like Spain.
Luckily, I happened to have my third "moment" in front of a private hospital \ clinic thing. Not great, but I was not in a good shape by this point. Go in, insurance, ok, deposit, ok, ah yes likely stomach virus. Here are 2 prescriptions. But it was a sunday (naturally) so most pharmacies are closed. So we had to walk to where a 24\7 pharmacy was open and got....ONE of the medicines. it's a powder of stuff called Sueroral you dissolve in water and acts to help you with lost junk. The main thing would have been an anti-emetic to force my body to behave with fluids, but they didn't actually get that until six hours later, around 16:30.
So I follow my friend around for a while, uh increasingly bad and weak and eventually we make it to the hotel, I fall in there and I'm sick enough to have a 1 hour nap (If you know me, this is a huge deal), and just rest until he comes back from his lunch. Leaves to get my meds, comes back, I take it, very slowly and cautiously start taking some fluids.
Just before the tour, we decided that the hostel (Hotel 1) was um. Bad. And yes it was. I suggested to boy the idea of maybe upgrading, and he said he was thinking about doing just that too :-P. So before the tour bus, we booked Hotel 2; and once I had the anti-emetic and we waited an hour so I could have fluids and stuff, we got our stuff, gave them an excuse and left.
THAT WAS A GOOD DECISION. The first hotel room was small with not much in it but a bed - not much room for anything, a small and badly laid out bathroom with only ONE place for ONE Towel (Between 2 people) and slippery shower tiles. The new hotel? Air conditioning, a great view, comfortable beds, more space, less trapped heat. I'm certain it helped us both feel way better and was well worth doing.
Lesson for people wanting to travel : Genuinely get a "good" hotel for your stay. It will serve you so well.
So anyway, around 6 PM we transfer, I take a funny picture ("Try CSA") on the way there - and we generally lazy shit for the rest of the day. I don't feel great still but mildly better, fluids getting retained (Kind of).
Summary : Get sick, drink water, get sick, drink helpful fluids, get sick. Slammed with costs, barely move, big unwell, transfer hotels. For all that, this is all that happened today, honestly.
July 28th!
I felt a bit better in the morning, got better and more solid sleep than usual. New hotel rocks, bed comfy. We cautiously leave around 9:35 to explore the new area of the new hotel and find a little diner for my friend to have coffee. After about 20 mins I decide okay, I'll try *a slice of toast* with *butter*. WILD, but at this point, I have not eaten for literally 39-40 hours. It worked, it stayed down and X_X. I don't even like toast, but it tasted AMAZING. We go back, I introduce my friend to Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency (Netflix, exists, 2 seasons because Netflix sucks. Check it out, it's incredible!) for a few episodes and then we downstairs to the lobby for the gastrobar for lunch. I have plain white rice with some carrot bits because ...stomach and stuff. I have to take the anti-emetic every 8 hours and keep a close eye on that ofc.
We have that, we go back up, we watch more Dirk Gently (since we can't do much in my state) and boy gets hooked :-P. We manage to kill most of Season 1 today. In between we chat, there are some things, teasing :->. I think that was the day boy shows me a pup mask he bought me to try. I did! There are pics! Most of you won't see them! I also squint like Clint fucking Eastwood as they are probably 1-2 sizes too small, but It felt nice and the boy was *really* impressed with how it made me look\ feel heheheh....
It was also an uncharacteristically high temperature day, so we decided we'd skip our plans, which included a visit to the Videogame Museum and the Imagination Museum given my state. shame, but not as much of a loss as Ronda the previous day ;_;.
Summary : Cautious, absolutely minimal food. Relax, good series, most of a bland but high quality rice bowl, more relax and series. Talking, teasing, bed.
July 29 !
Feeling almost regular! still WEIRD and off, but mostly fine! Today was the pre-booked tour of a fascinating fort (lower level), living area (middle level) and Palace (top level) place called Alcazaba! I have many pictures of this and I loved it! We woke up, taxi to the city center area it was at. I got 2 bananas and water to drink and extra water for during the tour, which ended up running 2 hours. The water just lasted long enough, then we ran into a place called "El pimpi" nearby - it's apparently a cellar underneath a building owned by ACTUAL ANTONIO FUCKING BANDERAS who was born in Málaga! I had a tiny adorable ham sandwich there with more water, but it worked well enough for me! After that we wanted to see what we could get up to but it was weirdly, offensively hot so after wandering around a bit and letting the boy go into a place to get items, we went back to the hotel to hide from the heat.
The AC was a godsend lol. Blasted through the rest of Season 1 of Dirk Gently, and part of season 2, talked, etc etc etc. I was down to do more in theory during the actual tour part, but by the time we got out the sun really did get like, nasty and rough. Best to be safe; for a Spanish person, my friend did not do well with the increased heat :-P. To be fair, Málaga is next to the ocean so it was humid bitch heat. Which is atrocious.
Summary : FORT TOUR HOLY SHIT YAY! Feeling better finally, fluid control is mostly normal now, then back to watch some series episodes and stuff!
July 30 !
Boy is homesick and we agreed earlier he'd leave at 4 PM to go home before my own travel back time ;_;. We go out for coffee (him) and food (me) at a nearby café with hard working employees but UTTERLY ghastly decor :-P. I end up having 2 ham-cheese-butter sandwiches, one of which is a takeaway and that was super nice. The pure orange juice there was INCREDIBLE. I haven't had good orange juice in ages and that was definitely "it".
We go back, run through the remainder of Dirk Gently while chatting and taking breaks, light teasing, etc.
Boy cleans, boy preps, 4 PM. Boy leaves ;_;.
Return to hotel room, actually proceed to tear up for a good four hours because my brain swapped from "Friend! Fun! Exploration!" mode to "Back to your life" mode, back to my whole in danger situation, back to feeling extremely alone, etc etc etc.
Try and succeed to watch John Oliver videos to cheer myself up enough to get to sleep around 23:30.
Sleep sucked! Comfy bed but broken and unreliable and weird ;_;.
Summary : Light day. Wake up, food, series, chats. Boyo gone D=. Big lonely. Many sad ;_;.
July 31 !
Traveling home, I clean up my stuff, get it all, charged phone - and get into a taxi at 8:15. Arrive at the airport about 8:35. My flight didn't start letting people check in until 9:15, so I mull around. I take FORTY MINUTES to clear the line despite 3 desks (They were very slow FSR). My turn. The lady there looks at my Hungarian passport, UK travel destination and then repeatedly ignores that I *live* there, to tell me that I need an "ETA" - another bullshit thing that the UK insists people visiting fill out because everyone is a filthy immigrant (To them).
I said I don't have any proof on me, I've lived there for 13 years.
No no I need proof. *Groan* Go, find her boss in a help kiosk, explain the situation. They look lost. They call her, and end up telling her to "Just let me through".
Cool idea. Except they fucked up trying to cover their ass and put my luggage through to Amsterdam (connecting airport, NOT final destination of Exeter), so I'd have to leave the transfer area, walk to where it was, find it, RE-CHECK IT, go through Security *again* and run through the airport to very barely catch my flight.
I bought KLM Tickets. They passed me off to Transavia for this exact part. The fuckup was entirely Transavia's, as far as I can understand. Now, had I missed my flight, I'd need to go get a hotel room (60+ euros) in Amsterdam for the night and a new ticket (100+) euros, both very conservative estimates.
Also, it was a 3 hour flight from Málaga to Amsterdam. During that flight, i got offered no drinks and no food, because I could *buy* food and water, aaahhh...except in aviation, it's common courtesty to offer something for a flight lasting 3 hours. Most do a sandwich, some do water and peanuts or something. These guys? Fuck you bitch.
Oh and after the pay cart for food left, they brought out an HONEST TO GOODNESS SHOPPING CART with trashy AF looking stuff on it. Towels, sunglasses, JEWELRY. Aw yeah, do you want to buy JEWELRY from an AIRPLANE? These guys are shitty, selfish, gross and moneygrubby AF. First and only time I will fly with these cunts.
Anyway.
In Amsterdam with some help I made it. 10 min walk to the belt, actually 25 minute wait while the stuff from our plane finally showed up and I could collect my luggage. Ran to info, info said go to better info for my airline. Did, they let the plane now to wait a tiny bit, rushed me through check-in. I had to run a fair distance to security, go through THAT, find the (misprinted, but I could tell) gate on the ticket, RUN to the fucking gate. I was all kinds of things. Shiny from sweat, suffering, aching, boiling in my own sweat and just feeling *absolutely not great* but I fucking caught it.
Regular home time from there. Left the hotel 8:15 AM (7:15 UK) and arrived home 8:52 PM (UK) , exhausted. no life left for a shower, so my gross body just slept D=.
Summary : Transavia is fucking dog shit.
July 25!
