Ok, so there's this entire economy that's built on returned/overstock goods that were on shelves in America eventually ending up in Mexico right?
Random companies like Target or whatever pay X dollars to put some crap on their shelves until it's clear it's just not selling, so instead of eating the loss they sell it at basically 0 profit to some asshole with a truck and the ability to tolerate the god awful amount of paperwork moving goods across that border entail.
Ok and then that some asshole gets to the border and they go through everything they've got and decide what's worth Actually paying the import taxes on and what's basically just land filler. And they take their trash pile and they go to the trash store in whichever border town their in, and say "hey you want this crap?" and the trash store owner says "Nope! but I know some poor schmucks who'll buy it because they can't afford anything better." And they put the trash on the shelves.
These are all the returns, the opened boxes and damaged but Technically probably still functional, things it was just too expensive to try to import into Mexico bc they were worth less then it would cost in fees to get them on shelves there.
Ok, and as a child of one of these towns, you go in to these stores and you buy a basically new Video Game™ for like 2 dollars. And it's crap. Its not shovelware for a show you think you've never heard of or anything but it was still something made to put Product™ on Shelf™ and it'll be lost media in a few years because every single copy ended up in un marked cardboard boxes in towns like yours.
but it's what you had the money for and so it's what you think all games are like until you move somewhere with an actual game store and find out that wait no, theres games that don't crash constantly and have more depth than a dry river. You see the same crap games that were all over your town but no one buys them because they have better options. which is how they end up on the trash store shelves eventually.
And then a decade or some odd later you have to deal with people who've always had access to the good stuff and the word of mouth knowledge or TV commercials or magazines to tell them What was good before they bought it claiming the crap they bought and returned or never gave time in the first place just didn't exist and that shovelware is an artifact of modern game dev instead of something that was always there since the beginning.
#the fact you can download patches is fucking Bonkers. What do you Mean the game can fix itself instead of just being#trash forever?? Its a fucking miracle.#idk im just bitching about how entitled some folk sound when they have to be patient about their toys instead of buying on launch day#it used to be So much worse!! its not even making Vast amounts of plastic waste anymore!!#because you can just. Go to wherever has an open wifi connection in your town and have your game magically fix itself if you dont have#a connection at home/ dont have the data to do it through a mobile hotspot

im watching death note and this image is the only thing beamed into my empty skull the entire time
#it’s legiterally so stupid like what editor read this story and was like yeah send it#i always knew the back half was bad even as a teenager#but anyone watching this at an age older than 15 can see it never had a leg to stand on#the sheer number of contrivances every episode is exhausting. and all the contrivances work in light’s favor#why would the police chief bring his work computer home and connect it to his home wifi.#why would the FBI agent carry an ID with his government name on it when they KNOW kira needs a name and a face.#why would light assume that tipping off the police to the fact that he has police connections would work in his favor#like why would he assume that L wouldn’t just work with a different team of cops once he knows#…and why didn’t L just start working with a different team once he knew. there’s more than 5 cops in japan#like it’s so STUPID#L thoroughly cooked light and put him on a plate in his first 2 episodes and then they had to nerf his intelligence to keep the show going#because he’s the only smart one in the (alleged) cat and mouse game!!!!

I dont think most of the islands would have internet connection, or at least not widely available or easily accessible. 4 year old tails not knowing much about the internet or caring about it until he and sonic end up on the mainlands and in a public library and he discovers the Joy of Internet. whole new world has opened up baby and he is tapping away at that keyboard
#sonic just wanted some new books but hes happy to hang out for a while#i was 17 when i finally got consistent access to the internet at home#as in. wifi ig#before then i mostly used school computers and public libraries#we DID have internet at home but. it was very expensive and parents used most of the available data and we had to be careful not to go other#when i got credit on my phone i would buy credit and mostly use that just be careful what sites i would use#connection was spotty#im rambling lmao but i think the islands would be a lot like that.l

Going through a straight up comical amount of irritating situations to get the stupid 4* guaranteed ticket from the welcome to sekai campaign. It Will Be Mine.
#I’m resuming this tomorrow it’s been hours now I’m just mad#I’m home because my parents are moving to a different state and I needed to pack whatever was left#and for some reason we just keep old devices when we’re done with them#so I borrow an adapter to allow me to connect my ancient unworking iPad mini to my laptop#factory reset it. i have to reset an old email to access the old Apple id to fully reset it.#it won’t connect to the wifi so I have to reset the settings. i find out it’s too old to run pjsk.#i find an old phone that should work. i reset it as well. I’m able to download pjsk & it takes 20 minutes.#pjsk crashes everytime I try to open it. i attempt to run bluestacks on my computer. bluestacks doesn’t have 64 bit for mac yet.#i get a free trial of parallels and download windows onto my laptop. this takes 40 minutes.#i try to download and run bluestacks on that. m1 macs apparently can’t run bluestacks 64 bit through parallels.#i go find the final old phone that I had forgotten about. it takes forever to charge because the charging port is fucked up. i reset it as#well. it can’t connect to wifi. i try a hotspot on my current phone. service is too awful. i try to do wifi sharing from my laptop.#you have to be connected to the router via a cable for that to work.#at this point it has been like 3 hours. I’m giving up because I’ve been down this route before#when I attempted to run 32 bit steam games on m1 mac#(wine64 doesn’t exist for m1 macs yet -> attempt to run boot camp -> boot camp isn’t a thing anymore on Apple silicon -> attempt to run#several different programs that allow me to run windows on a mac. none of them work. ->#look into linux & give up. -> attempt to implement the unfinished/unbottled wine64 code thru terminal. ->#fuck up and delete some important file & have to fix that (misery inducing) -> keep trying. i think I downloaded a Mac coding program at#some point? i realize I have zero coding knowledge and this is a mistake. -> give up and purchase crossover. game doesn’t even work. ->#3 months later update to the latest OS so I can have enough storage to play psychonauts 2. find out the $60 crossover#purchase was a bad idea because ‘heehee crossover doesn’t work on that buy the new version’ (fuck crossover).#my toxic trait is my belief that I can figure out anything via google and sheer stubbornness. usually this is true. occasionally there are#exceptions to this rule. most of them are because owning Apple products is a mistake.#i think if I reset the router tomorrow I can solve this problem but I can also just go elsewhere with better service or wait until I’m home#now it’s a matter of pride. and also free 4*/I have nothing better to do because I’m stuck here until Tuesday.#<- this is all normal behavior by the way. who doesn’t spend 8 hours ramming their head against a problem every once and a while. enrichment#mine#oh I forgot. i also looked into cloning the app but that would cost money for something that might not even work.#‘just log out and make an alt’ and risk losing my account? I’m stupid enough to overwrite it on accident.

I’m looking at new oven and wtf are smart ovens a thing. Who ever uses their phone to turn on their oven? Show me one person
#I hate that everything has all this dumb wifi shit#why would I need to preheat my oven from my phone when I’m not home ?#and if the power goes out or internet is down what happens ???#my cousin was literally locked out of her fridge#why does there need to be wifi connect for everything#I think our vacuum has the option

You really do take good wifi for granted man.
#.hundetxt#moving from shitty mandated apartment wifi to a ''bring your own router'' apartment has been a godsend#like holy shit someone using the ethernet cable doesnt boot everybody else off!#a fourth person staying home and playing his games doesnt fuck up the connectivity for anyone else!!#marsh and i can play minecraft in the same apartment without either of us teleporting everywhere#my mobile hotspot worked better than the wifi most of the time.

GUESS WHO'S GOT A NEW PHONE FOLKS
#dizzyisms#so uh. completely forgot to mention it when it happened but.#a month ago my old (''old'' it's not even 5 years old yet ffs-) Galaxy shat the bed literally the DAY I got home from a camping trip#froze- wouldn't connect to WiFi- started crashing n rebooting over n over-#ran it to the mobile place in a panic and got a loaner that I've been using for the past month#and today I went back n returned it n bought a new one!#also a galaxy so I could just Smart Switch all my old crap onto the new one (thank fuck it has a TON of storage space)#didn't stop me from panicking the past few weeks n frantically backing up all my notes and [most of my] photos and whatnot#through every means possible#so at least I have those elsewhere now I guess dhjskd#oh and I've still got the old one (obv)#it? sort of works? But I can't open too many apps at once or it'll overheat n start bootlooping again#and nothing short of sticking it in the fridge will fix it (which lbr prob isn't all that good for it longterm lmao)#but yeah! feels good to have a phone that actually fits in my pocket again n don't have to worry abt Exploding it against every hard surfac#Otterbox cases my beloved
