I've decided I need to assess my skillset and figure out what I can do for work.
Retail sucks, but it'd be a good starting point. Big store like Target and Walmart pay close to $15 an hour now.
Avoid hotel work, if you can. Hospitality is a bullsh*t industry.
So after playing ER: Nightreign a couple of times, I decided to get a refund. I just don't like rogue games and when you mix that into Soul's game, it's pretty jarring. It might be fun for some hardcore Soul players but it's not for me. I will say it has nice visuals though.
Sorry Reaps. I know that was a disappointment for you since you loved the original game.

My problem, Kane, is that I don't have access to reliable transportation and I have ADHD and possibly autism, which makes dealing with people difficult. Retail is high pressure and nothing but dealing with people.
I've done food service and telemarketing in the past, and have had absolutely no success in either.

My problem, Kane, is that I don't have access to reliable transportation and I have ADHD and possibly autism, which makes dealing with people difficult. Retail is high pressure and nothing but dealing with people.
I've done food service and telemarketing in the past, and have had absolutely no success in either.

Meds will help a ton when you finally get them. They allow Steph to hold down a full time job in medical building.
At the rate things are going, I won't get meds.
I didn't know one needed a skillset in order to have a job... 
There's a lot to what I do, but I tell people all the time that they have no idea how easy basic locksmithing is. I can teach you how to key and lock in ten minutes.
Everyone has different things they bring to a work environment.
Tomorrow, I get everything for a passport sorted.

Yay, Turtles! 
Used to love me some TMNT when I was a kid. I never owned any of the sets but I had a case full of the action figures and various other turtles paraphernalia. I even had the brutally awful NES game!

I don't think I've ever made it past level 4.
over the years I've learned this about the four turtles in that game.
According to power it goes:
Donatello-strongest.
Raphael-strong.
Leonardo-average.
Michaelangelo-poor.
Leo is good up till the Dam level and some of level 3 but after that you pretty much want to use Ralph for most of the levels and switch over to Donnie to deal with tougher enemies and or bosses.
Original NES TMNT game, the underwater dam level sucked.
Also my steam deck is here. FL speed blows tho.

Oh yeah I remember getting thoroughly frustrated by that level, and then when I finally beat it, I was faced with the awful driving level. I stopped playing it then and never looked back, lol
Steamdeck is good?
I'm trying to dl oblivion remaster and it's still going. So no idea.

Is problem with internet service?
No idea.
If it's anything like most modern games, the file size is out the ass. I think devs have forgotten what 'compression' is.
Oblivion remaster is 120 gigs.

I love my Steam Deck! It might not play all my games but it does play the ones I care about.
Also I suggest getting one of these Steam Dock.
It's useful if you want to play on a monitor or tv.
Dock was completely sold out.
You guys can't talk NES without me - what were you thinking??

I'm thinking of changing my flight back to the US and not taking my return.

I wouldn't return here either if I could get away. Can I travel as your carry-on luggage?
Also; talked to a British woman yesterday. She wanted to know why we drove on the left side when the steering wheel has also always been on the left side. I said I had no idea

It's one of the most sensible things this country has ever done; gone from leftside driving to rightside when steering wheel is on the left in cars
Lol.
It's really annoying. I just dropped 6000 kr(600 bucks) on stuff for my passport appointment.

My Turtle Blimp came in today.
Mental note to self: Attach fins and glider BEFORE airing the balloon up.

I had a plan to buy the vintage glider part of the original or even the V2 Turtle Blimp for the bombs. But the Blimp I have seems to be a mix of the vintage blimp and the Nickelodeon TMNT Blimp.
In other words the vintage glider won't work with the balloon I have.

You beat me to it! There's every chance I won't be required to provide age verification, but you never know. If I am hit, I've questions, questions I've found no answers to, regarding how to verify age.
As of now, verification (in the U.S.A.) can be done by 1) Government ID, 2) Credit Card, or 3) Selfie. First, does Credit Card mean exactly what it says, or does it mean Credit/Debit Card? (I don't have a credit card.) Second, I've found that "selfie" actually means a short video of our faces, like Facebook made me provide a while back. At the moment, all that is said about this is that it needs to be a phone selfie. Can I, as I did with Facebook, provide a video via a camera attached to my computer? Last question: for those who subscribe to YouTube Premium and have given YT our Credit/Debit card info, does this automatically count as age verification?
(It goes without saying that I don't consider any of this a good thing.)
The world needs a reset…

Welp, we had our chance.

I have YouTube premium and my YouTube account is so old that it hits the age verification on its own damn near. Haven't been asked yet.
Well, I might be helped by the fact I have BankID anyway now. Unless of course they want me to have yet another stupid ID.
Otherwise I'm gonna have to activate paying bills on paper again...

Yeah you need bankID to log into the internet bank if you don't have a little keypad thingy.

As to YouTube Premium, "YouTube's new AI-based age estimation system, currently rolling out in the United States, does not automatically use existing payment information from YouTube Premium subscriptions for age verification."
As to account age, alas, mine is "only" 16 years old.

Yeah, but I mean if they demand an ID for using internet at all. I do have that keypad thing too btw.
Also; Decrepit is only 16 years old! And here I thought he was a geezer
Totally get that. I haven't been asked to verify age yet. I'm definitely not giving them ID though. None of their bloody business. Here in Sweden, it's one thing. In the US? Yeah no. They don't need information I didn't give them that's on an ID.
Well, bye for now. Cottage awaits and it's not like I have a phone with which I can access the internet.
Shut up

Lol. See ya!
