I don’t seem to do alot of stuff here on this page anymore. And it’s annoying. I either forget it or just dont have anything new to update the page with.
Anyway I’ve built a new shelf for all my games and physical media. Picture will be shown on a different url sometime soon when I get more cleaned up on stuff.

Alright, so I dont update this much, simply because there isn’t much going on in my life. I’m just sitting at home watching videos, and playing games. Since I’m not really allowed to work, and then I have doctors appointments all the time.
I’m purchasing alot of retro stuff that I plan on reselling at some point, or gathering inventory in case I one day have the funds to open a store. I dont feel like selling stuff online and shipping. I prefer local pickups. Which then leads to even less people buying my stuff. I have about 2700 games currently in my collection, where about 200 of them are for sale. And I seem to keep more than I want to sell which is a bad idea when you try to make your hobby into something you want to earn money on.

It’s been 16 days since I last updated anything on here. Nothing really has happened in my life that I can talk about. Like I’m just going to doctors, and somehow being busy all day, while I dont really have a schedule to do anything. So it’s more like just being in bed (got sick with the flu) or sitting in my armchair watching TV. Dreaming about alot of stuff that most likely wont happen.
The dream that I currently have, as with many people you have alot of dreams you would like to do but difficult to do without having the funding to do so. I would like to start a retro game store, but I’m not much for doing online stuff, so it would be physical, and stores around here costs alot of money. And I would need stock, since I dont have too much myself. I only have about 2.5k games, which is my personal stuff, so I would need to go buy alot of stuff. This is the difficult part of it, since I would need to get the funding up and hope that it would make enough money for me to actually live off it. Which is also difficult to do.
But other than dreaming I’ve just been inside sick.
I dont have any other projects currently going on, since there’s nothing really new.
The only thing I could think about doing is maybe start up with the Youtube stuff I’ve been doing again. The gameplay stuff for each game that I own, but there is alot, and also figuring out if I want to stream them or just record them locally is difficult, since I dont want to just sit there and not talk, with how talkative I am.
I dont know, that’s what been going on in my life so far, in the past 2ish weeks.
Other than the dreaming stuff then I had to go get a new car, which I got the other day, the old one didnt pass inspection which I already knew it wouldn’t do.

I haven’t been doing much in the past few days. It’s just being at home doing random stuff on the computer. Being on sickleave does mean I dont go out as much as I used to. Both because I dont want to meet up with people and because I dont really feel like there’s anything outside I need to do. The only thing is shopping, which is only for some food.
I dont leave my place often it seems like. I’ve been out 2 times this week so far. And we’re on thursday. And those times have been because something happened with my brother, and because I had to go shopping.
Other than doing nothing then I’ve been recording stuff for a Youtube. And thinking about ideas for the other Youtube channel I have.
Youtube sent me an email on one of the accounts I have yesterday lowering the limit for partner, which is nice I guess, but people would then have more ads on their videos because of it. Since it’s easier to get it now.
The internet should be a free thing, and I understand people wanting to put ads on stuff. I get annoyed when I see it myself, but I do also make money from it. So it’s kinda required for me to enjoy the ads, right?
With running ads on my livestream and on my Youtube then its a way for me to make money.
I’ve been saying for the past 2 weeks now that I should start streaming more, but then I never end up doing it because of being lazy, or being on the phone with something. Yesterday I was supposed to it, but then my internet was down for the most of the day. And only finally came back up and running very late where I was about to go to bed.
Today I’ve been lazy and been in bed for a long time.
I have received a letter from the government saying that I missed a payment in 2021. Of 400kr (DKK) and due to me not paying it then it has been increased to 680kr (DKK). Now this annoys me, because I paid the bill they sent me in 2021, I have bank statements saying that exact amount and they never sent me any bill afterwards, if I had missed it. Which they need to do before they can add interests. Even if it’s the government, then they’re not allowed to do so. Everything from the government is sent by digital mail, on their own system, so I would know if I had gotten any extra bill, which I haven’t gotten from them. So I need to contact them regarding this. Which just sucks that I have to spend time on it. Since they’re not correct. And then, it’s a bill I paid on 1st of august 2021. So it’s over 2 years ago. It’s stupid. That they sent the extra bill now.

There isnt much to do. I’m just sitting watching an old series on the TV. It’s from 78, and it’s pretty much what went on in the daily life in 1929-1945. Currently the crisis that they’re showing is that people are selling all their stuff and trying to get the money they are available to due to the crisis in 1930. Nobody have money, and nobody are able to buy anything. So everyone is trying to go back to their old ways of making their own clothes with scraps they are able to get.
It’s a small city where everyone knows everyone. So news spread fast, and if you have money then you are someone, if you dont have any then you’re a nobody. If you are a fine person, then you shop in the fine stores, if not then you go to the common stores. This is how it was back then. If you get someone pregnant, then you are forced to marry them, they are not allowed to have a child if they’re not married. It’s a story about how it was back in the 30’s Denmark. And everyone here knows it. People look weird at you if you havent seen it before.
The show is weird in the sense that everyone is Mr and Ms, and if you have to say something fast to someone then you just say their last name and nothing else. After writing my project and also knowing how it was in that time, then when people had to call someone they lifed the phone, dialed the handle (rotary handle you have to turn) not as a rotary phone, and then the operator would answer the phone. They would say a number between 1 and 999. Because there was not that many phonenumbers available.
I’m sick. And that really sucks. I want to do something, and be fresh, not groggy, and barely able to stand up.
I’ve done some cable management on my retro area, or actually it can just be called my TV.
A B&O MX8000. It’s a CRT. With a wonderful whine when you power it up. I love it. It’s connected to a pair of BeoLab 6000 speakers, where I really want to get some BeoLab 8000 speakers. They sound much better, but I’m living with what I have at the moment. The reason why I got the BeoLab 6000 was because the internal speaker in the TV was starting to scratch abit in certain shows, and then I was able to get these speakers very cheap. Below the TV, on the stand, there’s a Beocord V8000 VCR player. Which I’m having some issues with at the moment. It’s not really giving me display on some tapes. It’s like when it gets hot then it doesn’t want to play anything, and when it’s cold then it doesn’t want to show the tapes correctly, where it’s all just blurry. So I can pretty much just watch one tape and then I have to wait for it to cool down a bit before I can watch another. And this gets annoying pretty quickly.
I got an old armchair from, I’m guessing, the 70s. It’s brown leather, and hard wood. Smells of smoke. And it’s wonderful to sit in. It’s stable. No creaks or anything on it. It’s matched together with a coffee table that I got from my dad, which he got from his dad. And he got it used for his and my grandmas wedding in 1965. So it’s a few years old now. And it’s still good, and the reason why I’m saying it’s still good, is because it’s made of good quality wood, and not the cheap stuff that Ikea and other stores use now. I’m slowly changing everything I have out with older used stuff because they feel much more sturdy and not cheap. And it’s better to use the older stuff if it still works instead of going out to buy new just because you feel like it.
There’s one thing I still need to get done, and that’s getting a secondary monitor plugged into my desktop, but due to the desk I have I’m not exactly sure where to put it, and then I need to get a table or something for my newer consoles, so I can have them connected to my desktop for recordings.

I just finished writing the experiment/project that I’ve been working on, it can be read here. (It will open up in a new tab.)
Other than that the only thing I’ve been doing today has been mental health stuff with a doctor. Hopefully they have an answer to me soon.
I just finished editing images for the project that I was working on, and they’re now up. Might only be 2 images, but it’s better than only text, right?

Not much happened yesterday. I spent the entire day on my computer pretty much.
Today is a busy day with a lot of stuff. Like I have to help a friend with dentist stuff, since he isn’t able to drive himself after getting removed a tooth.
Then I have to talk with someone about work, like a new job that he has asked me about.
After that then I have some insurance stuff due to a new bank account at a different bank. They also offer some insurance stuff. But it looks like I was double booked so I get 2 calls by different people at the same time. And the emails was sent at the same time.
I’ll see if I can get the project page updated with the one I’ve been talking about for a few days.
I do think I have to make a video showing off the project aswell. Since it doesn’t show all of it in pictures and text. I have an idea on how to make it load fast aswell, without doing too much work on it. By using links to the pictures, and if I can get the pictures down to under 20kb each then I’ll show them on the page. But if I cant do that then I’ll have to make a link in the text that opens a new page to show the image. But even those have to be fast loading. Slightly bigger, maybe like 300kb each, where if I have to embed the picture it should be a maximum of 30kb. I dont want the pages to be too big, and everyone should be able to load a 30kb page very very fast.
Does anyone feel like you are being watched, and everything you do gets collected into a system where the higher ups know exactly what you’re doing.
I’m being watched, I know it. But I dont know who is. There was stories about some insurance companies that keep a track over people and tapping into their phone to make sure theres no fraud going on, but I know that’s not it.
There’s something going on. I can’t put a word to it, but I know it is going on. I’m not sure how many people read this page, and I dont know who is. I’m not tracking on it.
It’s like there’s something in my head that tells me the microphones are being on 24/7. And I know that they are. I’ve worked with Facebook marketing, so I know it’s on if you have Facebook on your smartphone. That’s one of the reasons why I’m trying to get away from the smartphone, but it’s difficult due to the government using an app as a requirement for banking, and identification. So you’re required to have one. Which really sucks. If you’re 90 you’re still required to have the app on your phone. There’s a few exceptions, one being that you’re too sick to use one. But there’s nothing regarding the “healthy” people like myself, and the common person in this country.
This might be a rant, but I do really feel tracked and watched. I know I do use a computer quite often, and I do stuff online and have a digital footprint, with this page, and with other stuff I do online. Like the YouTube channels I have.
