  • Example of absolutely not caring about other people’s opinions, and just liking what’s enjoyable to me: once The Big Bang Theory was over, I kinda had to check out Star Trek out of curiosity. That’s how I more or less binged all of it in chronological order up to the then latest stuff (Disco and Pic S1). I’ve yet to find a Trek I don’t like. Sure, Disco has the main issue of not being episodic and that brings it down the rankings for me. Since Trek turned out to be pretty good actually, that got me to catch up on all the other things I missed when they aired, see SG1, Babylon 5, Quantum Leap, Charmed, Monk, Friends and How I Met Your Mother to name a few. And you know what? I liked them. I liked Morbius (pretty low on the list of superhero movies, but perfectly enjoyable). I liked the Enterprise theme once they sped it up, it ended up going from annoying to hilariously silly. I liked the Suicide Squad game so much that I fell into my usual trap of burning myself out, but I miss the fun banter while traversing the city. I liked the first Destiny, and don’t like the second. I like Ghost Recon Breakpoint, but not Wildlands. You do you, but I enjoy whatever I want, regardless of other people’s opinions on the matter. You’re legion? Hi Legion, I’m dad.



  • I had mixed experiences with both. On one hand, Amazon replaced my 3DS no questions asked when a shoulder button failed (Nintendo pretended the serial didn’t exist…), on the other hand my preorder of the Bayonetta Amiibo (Amazon for the EU) well… they cancelled it like six months after it got released and the support person had no idea what was going on. On AliExpress I ordered a drone that got delivered “to the wrong address” and the seller very clearly tried to scam me with helpful instructions on how to mark it as received to progress with the refund. But then I also got the logic board for my 3d printer from the manufacturer, and a reasonably priced remote controller for my drone.
