It’s the first day of 2023

Let’s start with a status update: I’m working full-time. I’m 25 years now. Malfunctioning computer for three weeks because my new mic melted something. I got pictures of me troubleshooting but I got no interest in publicing those. Applied to university distance courses, got marked as a reserve but it looks bleak. Missed the application for another couse which only comes up every two years. A few other things aswell that I should keep private. What have I been up to since the last blog post? Well; Streaming and gaming, but I hardly play solo games anymore. Working. A lot of other minor stuff but not worth mentioning, or I just want to keep certain stuff private. I’m going to start another blog for Project Zomboid. More specifically map making of Östhammars kommun (the municipality I’m living in) and I’ll start with Gimo. I’ll add a link to it after I’ve started it, preferably today. I’m going to use this guy’s channel https://www.youtube.com/@daddydirkiedirk119 as a guide and an inspiration to get motivated for actually doing some progress.

2020 early August shitposting

Yes. You. Fuck you. I despise you. There isn’t a single person I don’t despise to the core. You are all selfish pieces of trash, just as I am. There’s different kind of disgustingly idiotic people. Some are hiding it, some are sneaky about it and sneer at people around the corner, some talk shit behind the backs, some even can manage to talk straight infront of people because they speak another language. There’s even innocent and unintentional trashtalking about people which is the only thing I can forgive, because there were no real motivation for that. But still, fuck you. You are trash, and you will most likely never change. On the surface no one might never even see a hint of your old past but deep inside you still have your degenerate thoughts about people and society as a whole. JUST SPEAK UP YOU CARRION MAGGOT. FACE THEM. FACE THE REALITY. FACE YOURSELF. You tard. Coward. Absolute piece of shitlord. You are nothing but still think you are everything. Self preservation first, right? Tsk Stop talking about people behind their backs. Stop talking bullshit about people. If you just so have to, go ahead and think instead of mumbling it out to your colleagues, friends and family. You are not fixing anything. You are the problem. Venting once is fine. Venting twice is fine. Fuck you for the third one. Talk with me. Talk to the person you actually want to harm in his or her’s social life. Face it. Don’t think you can ever redeem yourself. Go ahead and “save” people’s life or whatever you think you’re doing. You’ve already ruined more than you can save. No one appreciates being saved because they haven’t learn anything at all. Ah what was that? Speak for yourself you angsty teen? Oh, you didn’t think that, right? Yeah well, I wouldn’t know BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT SPEAKING YOUR MIND TO ME. Speak up. Yeah, you can do that online right? No problem. You are anonymous, of course you can troll your way out of anything. Very proud of you. You don’t want to deal with depression? Well fuck you, me neither.

Stop tricking yourself you want to sully someone’s name. Oh wait, you want to do that because you don’t care? Feeling important here are we? What gives you the privilege to flap your mentally distorted brain thoughts at someone? You know more than me in a subject so that gives your the right to do it? Great. Ey what, it was just a joke? It doesn’t matter if this is online or in person.

What was that? You want a warning first? Are you in preschool? Maybe we should talk to the police to give warnings to all sort of crimes too. The scale of your deed doesn’t matter. You did something bad, not something good. Maybe it was good for your brain stimulations and hormones you’re triggering by belittling people.

Stop pretending you’re interested in things just because you see some imaginary value in someone. You’re both interested in the same things? Ah wow look, the key and the keyhole fits perfectly, very cool. Donate your every breathing moment and value too while you’re at it. Stop favouring people. You’re only favouring yourself.

Growing as a person is important so do it however you feel fit. Just remember you’re not the only sentient being around. Your effort matters. Just be yourself and I’ll hate you all the same. Just give it your all and don’t do it half assed as usually. Fuck you T, C, C, O, J, T, R, V, J, J, R, K, S, T, L, J, J, J, I, I, L, A, I, A, E, L, P, R, O, M, M, Y, H, T, M, M, H, T, S, L, J, M, W, W, F, F, F, C, M, E and the list goes on forever but it would waste more time than I’ve already done. Way too long into forever. You have effected my life in both bad and good ways. But it’s all fun and games either way, ey? Please. Take care. I care. I want your best, even if you’re trash. Even if you’re good straight through. It’s hard to believe that but so are you.

2020 early June gibberish

I don’t really feel like writing on my blog, but not in the way that I despise it. More like I want to do other things even though I want to do this too. I’ve told myself and some people I was going to write here but where’s the real motivation for this? Anyways, I’m stressed as always. I’ve studying to do, gaming with friends to do, also I’ve a lot of nothing to do. Work is in the way for my normal day rythm and scheduling. Let’s study some now so I can play whole night, like usual. Will be back soon with more updates, perhaps. Things I want to write about in the future are: Updates on all of my earlier posts. A “sorry” post. An update on what I’m up to now. Finishing a draft from 2016 on my India trip and the last days. How school have been treating me (good). A post about streaming, maybe. The list goes on. Oh, and I won’t forget about some more dusty PC interior pictures.

2019 January update

I’m enrolled in a school right just right by my old one, doing a slightly higher level of education. I guess it’s fun and fine and everything like that but I’m not taking it seriously (enough) to be doing very well, it’s fine now but later on continuing like this would bad. I’m barely keeping up for now though. (I deleted like 100-200 words or so here. Keep walking, nothing to see.) I’ve learned how to keep a computer free from dust and change some parts without doing any damage to it. I’ve always wanted to be able to do that. Also, last year in October or so my computer began to act weird not being able to play a few badly optimized games without freezes and crashes like Europa Universalis 4, Age of Empire 3 and Don’t Starve Together. I thought of it like nothing because you know, everyone had problems like that if you make a fast search on Google for it. But it got worse by the time I continued to play those games. I’ve error tested all my components with different programs, for example cmd and downloaded faulty testing programs. Nothing shows what’s wrong and by just looking at signs my PC gives me and reading tips online I kind of have faulties in every single one of my components but how’s that when I can’t find them with error testing? It might very well be a virus, malware or whatever that has encrypted itself. I don’t see anything wrong except not being able to watch or play games draw low or moderately power from GPU, CPU etc. Plus that an anti-virus program saw Safari as an infected slash virus file, well that’s fun actually since Apple made that web browser and Apple makes me cry inwards. It could have been the gateway, or just being the/one of the seed/s of a malicious program or whatever. I doubt so but could be a possibility of course. Only used it once or twice and I don’t really remember why. I need to raise my level to my old 13 years old self. Does that sound stupid? Comparing present me with the 13 years old I came to the conclusion that I’ve degraded with the years, ultimately starting when I got my own computer but that itself might not be main cause even if it’s a factor to calculate with. The reason for me thinking that way is the path I had in my mind. Only one path, the path to good grades, a decent job and a respectable... uh, normal world experience? A path carved in diamond. A path to being clean from the seven sins if you put it that way. Kind of trashed the idea of being a web developer since it’s a pain to be one. It’s a bit extreme. Last resort backup? Haven’t been able to stream a lot since the PC wants to give up on me. (Note: I want to tweet that.) The good news: I’m getting a new one, built by my friend in a far away town (7 hours away) in Sweden. The bad news: The cable that start three of my fans were solded together (in a bad position) which made a short circuit. Fun, right? I could have gotten my new computer sent to me before Christmas. December 16th or something. Guess what? My friend had to wait after Christmas to send in the faulty part for a replacement instead of sending it directly because he was somewhere else and the pain of the part being sent back to the store in case of not being home when the part get’s back to the pick up place. So around 7th January he sent it in and a few days after that been a confirmed queue for a check so we can get a replacement. Ever since then we’ve been waiting for a status update from the retailer. How long will I’ve to wait on my gear before it get’s outdated? Not that I’m complaining on anything... Just that I’m complaining on everything. It costed me a fortune. I’m in the mood for doing some school assignments in this moment. Let’s do that. Do I adore Slaanesh? But I’m a Nurgle boy... right?

Full throttle

Let’s get started with things I want to do and need to do, after I’ve woken up. Will get some motivation by pictures, tea, backtracking and typing. After all that I’ll look at more HTML and JavaScript. Finally, right?

2018 April update

I’ve been wanting to make some more blog posts here but never happened. Anyways, there’s a few things on my mind that I would like to write about. I want to get more productive in the future. I think the problem right now is the levels of melatonin. Exercise would help, not better sleep habits probably since I already improved in that area. I’ve an upcoming job at Forsmark nuclear power plant which will make me move more actively, and that’s good I guess. Yeah kind of forgot, I might get a job call today but I won’t probably be very awake because I’m up late as usual so will be a small disaster. Will need to make calls to other job applications after that. Worlds Adrift have really been on ice for a whole month or so now. Should pick it up whenever I can, would like to design new ship frames, look at the 300 new player made islands and fly into a Blight. Wrote in an earlier blog post about my plan with Blight, but I kind of doubt it will work as I intended. Will be fun to try it out though! Then there’s the distance education about Front End Development which I haven’t been doing actively recently. Need to pick up the pace again before I forget things I’ve learnt. And then there’s my Instagram skipthekrisp. Would like to begin to upload screenshots of my adventures in games and pictures from IRL when I get some good shots. Need to update my Twitch, maybe even delete all the unnecessary text and make short links and infos. People don’t really go to random Twitchs just to read a CoolStoryBob. PepeHands

Add tags to some of my YouTube stream videos maybe? But that’s kind of pointless, no one will get to see them anways. You know, YouTube algorithms and stuff. But maybe just to get it done in case. Every number counts, I love numbers even though I lost touch with them a some years ago. A smart way to fix it fast for every stream video is to make a document just for the tags, maybe in Evernote and just copy paste them into the tags field. I also need to consider if I should edit some stream highlights onto my main YouTube channel KrisTobia.  A tedious task if you ask me. Still laughing at Google+ but might post atleast once just to test it. Maybe I should just enable autoposting when I upload a video? Sounds good to me. Want to check out Player.me and Grouvee a bit more. Seemed to be a bit interesting, I like to keep lists of stuff I’ve done.

My Github profile need to be fixed and stuff added, feels like an empty shell. Udacity profile needs to filled out too. Anything more on my mind? A lot. Though not that important to mention.

Purchased gear for My Summer Car

Two weeks ago I purchased some gear for My Summer Car. Specifically TH8A, T500 RS and  Wheel Stand Pro for TM T500 RS DL v2.

Yeah, what’s that? First one is a gearbox, second one is steering wheel and pedals, third one is a stand for all of that stuff. To be able to simulate driving with a computer.

I got the steering wheel, pedals and the gearbox only in two days from MaxGaming while it took one week or so to get the stand from Conrad because they had to ship it home from Germany. Got all the stuff I ordered now and will assemble everything and give it a go.

The main reason for purchasing these crazy things only for driving in a computer game is to overcome my disinterest in cars and driving in general. My disinterest have put my in a big disadvantage since jobs sometimes require a B license either because of location of the job or the job actually requires a driving license.

All together the cost comes to a little bit around 9k Swedish kronor. Well, we’ll see if it was worth it. I do hope so.

Cleaned my computer - Dusty pictures of the interior

Around a week ago or 21th February I cleaned my computer off dust which hadn’t done in forever. There were some big improvements after the dusting.

My father was kind enough to buy me some canned air while he was off shopping in Östhammar to make me be able pressure clean the computer parts.

Since a lot of PC’s don’t come with some pre-installed programs to check component temperatures I googled a bit and found quite a few alternatives. The most appealing program I found for that was RealTemp. Here’s the link to the site where I downloaded it, with no disgusting malware in the files: https://www.techpowerup.com/realtemp/

Before cleaning: 75-90 degrees celsius with what I usually do, which is heavy load. I use an open airflow case, therefore it might generate a lot of dust inside. My GPU GTX 780 can only handle 98 degrees max according to the manufacturer so it was always a close call. Stuttering in games and a little bit of graphic tearing was a problem. Short black screen timeouts happened too at times with no visible side effects. USB ports would sometimes stop working or connect and disconnect. Stuff connected to the computer lagged sometimes, especially my Tobii Eye Tracker. After cleaning: 35-45 degrees celsius with the same programs going. Haven’t encountered any of the mentioned problems since. Side note: Please show me mercy for mistreating the PC!

The Blight

Ah, the wonderful game by the name of Worlds Adrift. Still in BETA as it should be, because it’s a complex game with complex code with complex bugs and errors with a not so complex community of lunatics and people with weird ideas. To the topic, the Blight. I’ve known this feature for a year, give and take. Recently, the 20th of February, the Blight got implented. It’s like a big cloud tornado which clean the server of loose stuff like ship parts and ship frames lying around everywhere. It’s main purpose is exactly to keep the server clean but they also made it so it can emerge seamlessly with the game world visuals to not destroy any immersion. I have not seen it for myself in-game because I have only played Worlds Adrift once or twice since the latest server wipe but screenshots and GIFs from the semi-official Worlds Adrift Discord is good enough for me to know what I should really expect. From stories and encounters I’ve heard that at first it’s small and grows in size over time like any real tornados. It does move but only slowly, though fast enough to catch up to slowpokes and those who don’t pay attention to their environments. It’s programmed to focus on the most important parts of a ship although if there’s lose parts it will “eat” those parts first.

So from all that information I can hypothesize on the answer to: How do I surive if I’m inside a Blight?

Sure, it’s very scary to think of a moving tornado that eats your ship. But it focuses on loose parts at first hand, so if you’re a sonic boom and actually awake then you could destroy your own ship first with your salvager so you get to pick what the Blight eats instead of having your sky core dispersing in front of your eyes which is a certain doom even if there’s an island below you to catch your skyship, because you know, the Blight is still there.

I do not promise that this will work but I will test this in the future when I meet it. When I do meet it, I will build a test ship and charge straight towards it several times and try to stay in the air as long as possible to test everything. I haven’t heard any stories of someone doing that yet and it’s kind of weird since there’s almost no death penalty in the game. The only thing you lose is time, and time is what you spend playing the game. So why not?

Been lazy

Yeah so, I’ve been a little bit lazy again as of lately. Back to blogging I suppose. *shrug* If I would describe myself under a Chaos God from the 40K universe it would probably be Nurgle since he symbolize Sloth and Gluttony (some would argue he’s not Gluttony but at the same time a lot of them don’t know the full meaning of the word), and all Chaos gods can be described with Greed in their different ways. I’m lazy, and I try to keep my time short with things and therefore I also like to plan beforehand to make a fast job of the subject in focus. I also like to make good deals to save both money and time with the purchases I make, a little over obsessed if I would say. Anyways, enough of 40K. I’m enrolled in one remote study in Front-End Developing made with Udacity sponsored by Google and it would be nice to get going again with it before I loose my touch with the languages needed.

I also plan to enroll in a remote study for Data Analytics from the same organisation but this time with other sponsors, from Germany I believe. Bertelsmann?

Then there’s a lot of other stuff I would like to finish. For example FCC lessons, LinkedIn courses while I still have LinkedIn premium, a bit of general knowledge of job searching from a government funded help-hiring company even though I probably know most of it. Extra enlightment don’t hurt though. Looking for a job too and the duration of it matters less, just that I get something to work with something is a huge step away from sloth, not generating money and, kind of, boredom.

Then there’s Codewars and CodeFights I would like to revisit again when I’ve taken off the rust. As challenging as a unicorn deck in a meta game in my opinion, which is good for my problem solving abilities and structure.

[skipthekrisp]

I’ve been doing a Google Developer Challenge Scholarship (Front-End web dev) and I passed phase one with a starting 20k students, and now I’m doing the phase two with 2k of the other students who got chosen. I think I got extremely lucky to have been able to pass the first phase. I won’t waste this opportunity.

The Falcon Heavy Test Flight - Different views in the YouTube comment section on different channels

I’ve looked through the comments of two videos a few days ago. One is uploaded by SpaceX and the other is called RT.

SpaceX have those “For humanity!” kind of comments. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbSwFU6tY1c

Meanwhile RT always have the comments denying and trashtalking everything that’s not Russian. Especially if it’s about western countries and rich people like Elon Musk. They’re not always wrong though but RT seem to generate a lot of generalized wrongful hatred. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ag_MCWgEelo I don’t know how to feel about it. There’s not much to do. It’s the internet and we all are connected to it in many different ways.

My silly reason for trying EVE Online and the aftermath

This is the story: Three days ago I saw a YouTube recommendation on an EVE Online video. I watched a bit of the video (by Scott Manley) and got bored of it and I skipped half of it, just as a few years ago when I also thought the game itself was boring. Later the same day I looked up the map of EVE Online and to my surprise I saw different colored regions which was the space alliances controlled. Amongst those regions I saw the name The Kadeshi. Yes, the one and only Protectors of the Garden from the game series Homeworld. So I directly began to update the already downloaded EVE Online on my Steam account and started making my character and began to do the tutorial intro of the game. I was excited to make contact with them as soon as possible and talk about the Kadeshi from Homeworld.

After that I also looked up some info about The Kadeshi in the game. Well, it seemed like they were an elite gang since they only had five members and they didn’t seem to be awfully active anymore according to some logs on websites. So I kind of gave up the idea of trying to contact them.

The thing was, EVE Online made me so sleepy and I hadn’t even really started playing it outside the tutorial yet. So I stopped playing it that day. I will give it another few more hours of gameplay this week but it doesn’t seem to be my thing.

Well, what can you expect from an old but well refined game? That, in my opinion, a lot of old games are good in their ways but are hard to get into if you didn’t play them in your early memories of video games.

Trying out the pirate life: Recap

I pirated a dozen people today, it went pretty well. The players cursed us but me and my matey had a lot of fun at least. Stole a ship, killed players several times, stole some materials and had a laugh about their desperate text chat crying.

Now now, don’t think that we’re mean! Pirates loot meanwhile griefers just do it for the fun of killing and destroying. We needed their materials as much as they needed theirs and the fastest way is to gather already farmed materials.

Education is a good way to get more job opportunities, if you go for full throttle

I got chosen for the Udacity Google Scholarship Challenge in November because I applied for it and made a good small resume, I guess. So there’s two phases and there was a few things you could chose to apply to, but only one could be chosen. I went for Front-End developer and I don’t regret it. One thing I regret though is that I didn’t give it my all because I was lazy. I do hope I get to phase 2, right now there’s a one week period of rewieving from the Udacity mentors on which people should continue.

In my opinion, I don’t have too much of a chance since I neglected the course pretty much and invested the time in job resumes and talking with friends. I did finish it. But I’m in the process of being considered at least, which is nice.

[skipthekrisp]

Job resume thoughts, Sweden

I’ve applied to a lot of jobs in Sweden (CNC Operator jobs and similar) but the responses I get are boring or bots answering with no’s. I’ve had my resumes reviewed by professionals and they was surprised that they looked so well. No luck on my side though, so what do I miss really? I’ve the required education. I’ve the required practical experience since I’ve been on the field. I’ve theoretical knowledge because I’ve been in a school that specificies on CNC and all the subjects around it and much more. Is it because I had very average grades in school when I finished? Checking grades is one step in the progress of choosing people and hiring companies have full access to those. But that shouldn’t be a bother, because I do have good experience in the field of CNC. Is it because I talk about myself a lot in my personal letter? I do make sure I talk about the benefits I can achieve for the company though so shouldn’t be a problem.

When I get bot, or maybe personally written responses which look bot responses, they tell me they had people with high education etc. applying to and decided to go further with them. So does that mean I’m not in that group?

At times they give out a number people can call if there’s questions about the posted job but at most times they never answer or give a mail that they’re on vacation. When I do reach them they I seem to get a very positive response on the conversation we have, but if it’s so, where does it all go down? Well, there’s a lot of factors and I might be in denial. I just have to keep struggling and something might happen. It’s free and only costs time, and time is something I have.
