What’s up, everybody! It’s Monday, January 6th, 2025. It’s been 4 years since that dreadful anniversary of the Jan 6th insurrection attack on the Capitol in Washington D.C. by those terrorists, in the #MAGAcult. It was very difficult for the Capitol Police, and even some police officers succumbed to their injuries. Jan 6th is not a day of celebration, and the FBI + DOJ must continues to send these individuals to prison for attempting to hijack a federal building. We have a few weeks until the new United States President (47th), which we are unsure who it will be, since Trump might be ineligible for being a pedophile, an Al Capone mobster whom cannot seem to be sent to prison for mob behavior but could go to prison for tax evasion. He did #TrumpRussia and he blackmailed the US with Nuclear Secrets, including lots of dabblings with Elon Musk and Neuralink. They amassed lots of funding doing insider-trading with that technology. Looks like VANCE might be President, and who is going to be the VP?

Until Next Time!

What’s up, everybody! Especially #GeeksNerdsOtakus! It’s Friday, January 3rd, 2025. TGIF! Thank God it’s Friday for some of you, enjoy the weekend, if you’ve been working all week, that means you can enjoy your videogames all weekend long. Great! As for myself: I kinda work all sorts of hours, that’s why it’s upsetting when higher echelon do not understand the importance for people who work the night shift. There are individuals who count on such individuals to stay a-okay. I haven’t done a night shift in about 2-3 months, and something definitely feel off. I also haven’t had my $500 stipend per month in 2-3 months, it’s been really hard. Also, no credit card. That’s the prime reason why you do not see me at a Sacramento Kings game, or enjoying a meal at a restaurant downtown. The very few funds I have now, it’s for Boba Tea, working on the computer, and eating some take-out, sometimes, very rarely now. I haven’t had takeout food in more than 2 months. No fast-food either. It’s hard. Anyway, I’m not sure what games I will livestream this weekend, but hopefully I can do a couple, giving my limited data at my location of residence.

Until Next Time!
