Let's talk Monster Hunter World on PS4

 It's.... for other people than me. Pigs with bumble Bee costumes on and little furries running around the place all of the time coupled with the absolute juvenile story and dialog... its a very... woke world. There are too many bright colors and rainbows for me to take this seriously at all! It's meant for certain types of peoples to gather together to share... exciting stories of... mediocre crap in a super-technocolor happy world. 

I think of it as a Twilight type movie of games. If you're into the YA stuff - then it's for you. Definitely not me.

Timewaster grade: C-

June 25 Movie Timewasters for the month!

 All of these are A to B level timewasters.

Newest Timewaster to initiate: Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

 Will update as I move through this world.

South Park: The Fractured But Whole PS4 Timewaster: Solid B

 If you're a fan of South Park, this one is a gimme. Go get it. It does become repetitive at times, but kicking butt in South Park just doesn't get too old!

Timewaster Grade: B+

The dwarves and the Paladin get a new member and new paint.

 Still working slowly on this set. They are not finished evolving I don't think. A new crossbowman has joined the ranks.

The group shot:

The new dwarf crossbowman - for added security on the flank:

The PS4 Sportsball Timewasters

These are good for when you don't want to be playing in a giant open world game and you just want to waste time for a little while. I can't play them very good because thumbsticks, but I can manage once the button setups are reconfigured and bound. MLB 15: The Show is my favorite out of this group!

 

Epic Level Timewaster inbound

 This is an Epic level Timewaster...

You don't find these in many communities anymore.

LittleDog having some fun!

KinHanK X4 Pro emulator and arcade box - great hardware, atrocious software.

 This arcade emulator was on sale from Amazon for $118.00, and after seeing some obviously paid reviews online, I went ahead and bought it so you don't have to. With the hardware configuration this little box has, it should be a breeze to work with, but the software loaded on this thing makes it impossible to actually get any enjoyment out of it. Most of the games don't work because the ROMs loaded for them are just pulled off of old internet sites. The mess that is the menu system makes it almost impossible to do anything but play a game for one session before having to exit all the way out to the menu and restarting instead of 'inserting another quarter" or being able to save anything.

It's a junk buy! Timewaster Grade: F-

The hardware is great!

This makes me sad....

Project 05-01-2025 New Commission work

 Some interesting paint on these dudes. 

Project 04-02-2025 complete. More reinforcements inbound.

 

We need to talk about YouTube and it's algorithms...

 It seems more and more as time goes on, and more foreign coders and DEI employees are let loose on the YouTube recommendations algorithm, that it has gotten to be a shitshow of a platform. Below are some examples of the head-scratching videos that randomly pop-up in my recommendations feed. It's almost like coders are pushing their favs to consumers whether we have a propensity for watching those kinds of videos or not. 

I started taking pics of the completely random videos as they would appear in my feed. Then I noticed that it happens way more often than mere bad coding would suggest. The rate at which these outliers appear is more consistent with someone pushing these weird videos into the search and recommendations feed than just plain bad coding.

I give you the worst recommendations over the past 2 weeks:

This first one is the winner of the most random shit I've seen yet.

These are in no particular order or quality...

A twofer!

If you tell me not to watch - I'm not gonna watch.

That's all for this edition. I might keep capturing these if the stats suggest I should! 

Later,

Cyberpunk 2077 for PS4: Buttsqeezins level Garbage buy

 This has got to be one of the worst games to buy for PS4. In the history of PS4. It's an unoptimized cash-grab by cd projekt red. There's no way, 4 years after release, that the game should still be this bad. It's unplayable. Literally. Do NOT BUY! 

After suffering through MANY, many bugs, glitches and errors, the game is at a point where it hangs in the middle of a main mission towards the end of the game with no fixes. Game over. 

On the PS4, this is a dead world. There's hardly any people or cars outside - just empty buildings and streets. When you do see people, they are usually floating out of the side of a building, across a street and they look like LEGO people. Hardly any cars to steal, people to rob or interact with... just empty dirty streets in a dystopian world. 

Let me show you what the game looks like:

This was the only thing good about the entire game:

Timewasters' Grade: F- This game gets the  'ButtSqueezins.'  descriptor.
