I’m not even connected to my so called “homeland” anymore. I desperately wanna leave, but visas are making it incredibly hard. And since there’s a huge Moroccan diaspora basically everywhere (which the locals are tired of), I will get lumped together with them against my will.
Well… there’s a lot of politics involved. But to sum it up, the organizers of the contest refuse to kick out Israel, and everyone is complaining about it.
In addition to that, the Netherlands, one of the countries that made it to the final, got disqualified at the last moment because there were allegations of its representative doing something to a camerawoman, for seemingly not respecting his choice of not wanting to be filmed after his performance. And yes, everyone complained, especially since there was no genuine evidence about it.
As a result, this year’s contest has become one of the most controversial ones in its history, and it was only saved when Switzerland won the thing. It’s really sad because I used to genuinely enjoy this show, it got me through some pretty tough times of my life.
DankPods made me interested in vintage electronics, high end audio equipment, and some other very niche things. The owner of that channel also has other channels that talk about cars, drums and cymbals, and video games. Before all that, he used to remix Simpsons episodes.
His episode about the Nickeloden Hotel in Orlando, Florida, as well as Disney’s very forgotten food item, the Handwich (catchy name) is what I liked the most.
He even made a documentary that revealed who composed the Disney Channel theme song.
For whatever reason (mostly geography), I missed all my chances of experiencing beautiful celestial events. None of the major eclipses that happened (solar or lunar) were viewable where I am, the aurora didn’t even reach us, and despite being the closest neighbor south to both Spain and Portugal, I didn’t see that comet either. All I remember seeing was rainbows, and even those are really rare.
I don’t remember when Alto’s Odyssey became free to play on Android, but it’s honestly such an amazing game. Its prequel is pretty nice too, but I like this one better.
I used to be addicted to Super Starfish too. I’m even pretty close to completing it, but just never had my chance to do so because… reasons. I would love to see this game on the Nintendo DS.
I played the original Sonic trilogy. It was fine, I guess.
The Dadish series was super annoying and very infuriating despite looking like something a child could complete in one sitting.
Bean Dreams was absolutely phenomenal, though. I loved every second of it. Why on earth did they have to take it down from app stores???
I played Okay. It was okay.
Bart Bonte’s “color” series of games are also pretty fun to play through. You actually can finish all of them in one sitting if you’re brainy enough to do so. I did. “Black” was my favorite, since you get a glimpse of the Belgian flag at the end (Bart is Belgian after all).
I even played Goat Simulator on mobile (not the sequel, the original). For some reason I enjoyed that one the most despite how very obviously limited the mobile version is.
Conclusion: I like very niche categories of mobile games.
Devotion to the faith (I still believe in God but I just don’t feel connected to him), marriage, having children, cars, being super rich, universities, patriotism, being in an anglophone country just because I’m too good at English, being manly, being famous, football, traditional customs, I really could go on and on for days.
