    I never cared for team sports at all. I rather went to concerts and stuff like that. A friend told me that you have to see it live, it’s so much better. So he took me to a soccerball match. I thought: this is kind of cool, kinda like a festival, people buy merchandise and scatter around, random way too drunk people, all that jazz. Then the game started nd they introduced the players one by one. The home team, so “our” team was first. The fans yelled their names. Then the other team, Ireland was next. The commentators said their first name and the whole stadium yelled “hurensohn” (son of a bitch). I was like: okay, cringe, but everyone around me padded themselves on the back because how funny it was. It never got better, the game was boring as fuck and the fans were obnoxious as hell, calling every other player gay or a faggot or whatever weirdo thing. I had to separate from the group and just wandered around. I met some irish guys and they were super cool, so i just hung out with them on their side for the rest of the game. It was better, but still boring and a super cringefest.

    A few years later i won tickets to the spengler cup, and i didn’t want to go at first, because of my soccerball experience, but fuck it, it was free and i could just leave. Despite not really liking or understanding the sport, it was waaaaaay waaaay better. People were nicer, more respectful abd i had an overall good time.





  • Making a good game is hard. Making brainrot garbarge is easy, and people play it just as much. So what is the point? I knew a guy who was cheap as fuck. I didn’t know his girlfriend as well, but people said she was pretty much the same. Once i remember he made fun off someone spending like 60 dollars on a video game and he said he’s not a “gamer”. A few month later we talked about some video games that we liked and i didn’t really include him in that conversation because of what he said before.

    He chimed in and said that he’s been playing clash of clans since release. Now i hardly even know what coc is, except mobile pay to win garbage (imo) so without even thinking, i asked if that game is even playable without spending money. He said oh no, he spends around 500 buchs a month. We were all shocked a bit, and he realised how ridiculous that is and immediately threw his girlfriend under the bus saying that she spends at least 1k a month for candy crush.
