What’s up, everybody! it’s Monday, July 28th, 2025. I hope you had a great weekend. I was able to catch up on a lot of videogames I haven’t played in a while, specifically because they are low-bandwidth games, or offline games. Currently completely out of XFINITY (ISP) DATA bandwidth. It let me catch up, until I wait for August 1st, so I can return to Death Stranding 2: On The Beach, main missions (2nd half of the game) and do some livestreams. 1/5 of (25,000 jobs) #IntelCorp is getting slashed, with more Layoffs on the way. I warned you, I want my job offer letter. I haven’t received paychecks in 7 years. PS. #HaroldAndKumar4 TBA.
