2020 feels like a simulation of all the possible things that can go wrong

No major bolide impact events or supervolcano eruptions yet... :v

The universe is saving both of those, plus a nuclear war, an alien invasion, and a LARP of Jreg's Centricide series for 2021.

I'm living alone for the first time in my life... I only got my own apartment for the first time when I was 38 years old... and after having shared living quarters like that so much, I had no real furniture aside from my bed and my computer desk....

I've lived in this apartment now for almost 3 years, and for the entirety of this time, the couch and loveseat that I have in my living room.... have reeked. I ended up with them because I had a VERY short window, the day I moved in, to find furniture. I ended up going to see them after 9pm, having moved all day from 8am, and having to return the UHAUL truck that night.... I was exhausted and ready to be done. And so I was fooled, because I was exhausted and they were in the garage of the seller so I didn't smell anything... but once I got them home into my very small apartment...eegad. Like a combination of sweaty teenage boy BO and dog pee (though there was no pee, I triple checked for that.)

No joke I found 2 pairs of wadded up panties and about 4 condom wrappers inside the damned things when I cleaned them. So they were obviously well used, lol....

Well after 3 years of having them stink up my tiny apartment--no amount of cleaning got rid of the funk--and so thus 3 years of me being embarrassed to have guests in here, I'm finally getting brand new furniture tomorrow. It has literally taken me this long, due to my pittance of an income, to be able to buy anything new.

You see kids, when you grow up, boring shit like new furniture is what excites you......

^ Considering I have both played the Sims 3 and have seen my oldest brother's apartment with and without furniture, getting and placing new furniture is nice. Makes me think, "It's actually starting to look nice now."

Also, this is just me, if I found a condom wrapper or wadded up panties in my sofa or if it reeked that badly, I would immediately throw it out and buy a new one. Or at least one that wasn't filthy.

Well like I said, it took me 3 years to be able to buy new stuff. I live on $1200 a month, that's to cover all rent, utilities, food, gas, and for me also, lots of doctor bills and prescriptions. I usually am down to pennies in my account by the time the new month rolls around with my next check. If it weren't for me being very very lucky enough to be in subsidized housing, that check wouldn't even cover rent in most places. So it's not like I was being cheap and choosing to live with stinky furniture out of an exaggerated sense of frugality or something.

It's not like I didn't clean it! It all got a good steam cleaning, I'm a very clean and tidy person. Just the odor never left, I think it was in the wood that made up the frame behind the cushions, cuz that's where the smell was worst.

^ I'm really happy for your getting new furniture! (I myself am a clean tidy person sensitive to smells so I imagine it's been hard for you)
So I wish you many happy memories with the furniture :)

As much as I don't want the man martyred, I await with bated breath the announcement that Trumplestilskin has The Rona. Why fear martyrdom? Cuz it would make his brainless constituents even more rabid; but if he contracts it and DOESN'T die, then he will turn into an even greater powerhouse of ignorance. "See? It was never a big deal." And he WILL get it eventually, despite all the laughable overtesting done daily, because he treats it like a joke. 130,000 dead Americans, like a joke....

Actually, a recent article says he's terrified of getting it. This may go back to earlir germophobia on his part, not be a new thing. Anyway, he treats it like a joke in public, because he's a lying liar who lies, but god forbid you should cough in his presence.

Trump may be stupid and dishonest but this virus is taking lives at an alarming pace. Not to mention, he's been in close contact with infected people.

I'm worried about Brazil, I have no idea if America in general will survive but Brazil's cases have spiked out of control so hard just like the U.S.
After the apocalypse ends, Canada will soon politely take over what's left of America...

Unless a war happens. Then the Canadian take-over will be much less "Sorry, eh!" and much more like "I'll take 100 POWs by myself and, after my BFF dies, capture an entire city by myself, eh!".

Eh, wouldn't make a difference anyway. He could claim the Moon is made of cheese and his believers would swallow it whole. Remember kids, don't speedball blind-faith Führerprinzip and cognitive dissonance.

The US correspondent of our biggest newspaper is in the opinion that "the Republican party has devolved from a rich men's club into a Fascist personality cult" and I see preciously little to indicate he's wrong.

Big difference. lol Now if only the off-gassing of the new stuff would end soon, I'd be pleased. Still, chemical-y new furniture smell is a lot better than ripened sweaty teenage boy.

A good buy! The colors are beautiful.
I bet sitting on the couch would be as if you were out on a spring day, sitting near the edge of a pond. You could feel the freshness of the blossoming trees and the white lilies, and contemplate the calmness of the pastel blue. Or something like that.

I wasted so many hours trying to fix the joycon...it worked for a bit after doing the re sync, but it just kept disconnecting. I was able to keep it connected long enough to do an update and it worked for like 5 more mins but it just doesn't work now no matter what I try. If the joycon starts blinking to sync, because sometimes it just doesn't respond, it just stops working immediately after attaching it. It's as if the Switch itself is rejecting the controller.

I do have 2 pro controllers and the right joycon works just fine but I like playing on the couch laying down and it's a bit uncomfortable since it's not in handheld mode.

Also, Panama is getting close to the lead in Covid cases per million in America or however you call that statistic. yaaaay Numero 1! Even though I haven't stepped outside in 4 months yaaaay!
Kill me!

Knock on wood, but my Switch controller has never had the drift issue with it. However I don't play it that often either given how much time FGO, Magia Record, and Fire Emblem Heroes take.

Today I'm getting the newest Sword Art Online game in. Have to grind in FGO for my Sigurd, maybe Surfer Mordred. Am almost done leveling my Blackbeard. I only have three berserkers that are NOT max leveled. Hopefully once Summer 3 comes around Jeanne d'Arc Berserker will join the ranks.

I'm not sure if I've had problems with my joycons, then again, I'm not fully sure what's considered drifting.

Yesterday, I got a bunch of games from Steam, since it was the last day for the summer sale. I got Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures, LISA, Ricochet, RollerCoaster Tycoon, and Surgeon Simulator.

I haven't played Amnesia yet.
Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures is so far pretty fun, but very difficult. I played three different levels and had 30 lives at the beginning of all of them, and I couldn't make it to the end of any of them.
So far, LISA is quite dark and grim. I also did make a good amount of progress in the very beginning, went into the menus, pressed the wrong button and got sent back to the title screen. And I didn't save. At that moment, I just thought, "That's enough of this game for now."
I only bought Ricochet as a joke and because my friends told me to (It was only a dollar, like hell I'm gonna pass it up). Despite claims that there is no one playing it, I managed to find a server with three other people on it. I had no idea what the hell was going on, but I managed to get 15 points, so that was cool.
I did not expect to enjoy RollerCoaster Tycoon as much as I did. I quickly loaded it up just to get a little taste, and then I realized I was about an hour in already. I do have a soft spot for Tycoon games, like Game Dev Tycoon.
Actually playing Surgeon Simulator has given me an idea on how difficult it really is, with so many of the tools just slipping out of my hands. However, after two instances of malpractice, I did manage to successfully do a heart transplant.
