So due to me being on sickleave at the moment, and spending my time doing absolutely nothing productive. Then I’m forced to go to the government because they need to pay me when I’ve been on sickleave for a while. They told me that I need to book a time on their website to go and talk with them, but the issue is that their site isnt working, I’ve tried on multiple different days to book a new time, before the date is over, but it keeps giving me an error saying that I need to contact the government regarding this because my account cant do it. So I did. I told them the error and the thing they give me back is that I should try again another day. What?! It sometimes feels like when stuff is broken and you’re on the last day before they just say, we dont care if you get money or something we dont get paid enough to deal with your issues. And then I just have to wait now. Wait until the due date is passed, which it is on wednesday, and then I can call them and say their website isnt working and I’m not able to book a new time with them due to the error I had the other day, which I still have. Which I have a feeling they will just say that they cant do anything. Thats the information that I’m getting from them. Pretty much with everyone that I know who have been in the same situation as me. The government workers just dont care as long as they get paid their salary. Even if they’re employed to help others get money.

Anyway nothing much has happened, like at all. I’m just sitting watching movies, or sorting stuff. Because even when I’ve been moved in for a few months now, then I still dont have everything here, and alot of the stuff is just in boxes where nobody know whats in them.

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.

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.
