^ that rudolph one wtf lol this is a winter themed kdrama called winter sonata. not necessarily a christmas centered one, but a thoughtful and innocent christmas gift plays a major role in the storyline. i first watched it 20 years ago and i still watch it even today. it was so popular in asia that japan made anime 10 years after it aired. it also improved korea’s image and relations among asian countries and tourism/kdrama/kpop flourished (called korean wave). its still popular, ppl still visit sites and houses that were filmed on. i heard they even built a statue where they first met. O_o basically two highschoolers fall in love and they were going to meet on christmas eve for their first official date. on his way, he dies in an traffic accident and shes devastated. the main event takes place 10 years after when she sees a guy who looks exactly like him. kdrama opening: anime version:

my guess is deepfake has been critisized for being used on political figures and porn sites so idk maybe disney wants to keep their squeaky clean image or something lol. or maybe they have a contract with some cg programming companies that they cant get out of. but yeah its their loss for not using it bc it looks really good and has a lot of potentials, especially now that star wars want to backpeddle from disaster movie sequels and throw fans back in timeline

$600 stimulus is a joke. im not for giving ppl free money but it wasnt even ppls fault for losing their jobs to begin with. that puny amount doesnt even cover one month’s rent in most states. just let ppl get back to work. most ppl would rather work than recieve that kind of chump change. ever since chris benoits murder-suicide back in 2007, ive been reading any news articles that related to that. it was like average from one murder-suicide news every 3 months before lockdown to one murder-suicide news every 3 DAYS after lockdown. shitload amount of unnecessary pressure put on them from eviction, unemployment, restrictions, etc., and no wonder ppl are losing it. i read recent articles about young japanese and korean women committing suicide due to covid isolation, far exceeds the deaths from covid itself..i keep asking myself, for what? oh that 99.99996% something survival rate flu. i see.[/rant]

amazing a random youtube person can do a better job than disney. so much difference even though its a short scene of luke

^ some random youtubers did deepfake on rogue one’s cg leia and she looked much better. if amatuer’s can do that, id hope movie/tv industries pick it up and improve it. like i mentioned earlier in other thread, a series on younger obi and ani would be really good imo

this is one of my concerns, what if someone follows around ups/fed ex trucks and take your packages? holiday seasons added with covid restrictions on retail stores, ppl are ordering more and more online, plus many package thieves wear masks now so thats no help. i always considered lucky that the front door to our house is hidden by garage and bushes so you cant see the door unless you go around the garage and walk up very close. but i did get a couple of security cameras just incase and installed around the house to make sure it actually arrives. i got two packages today since like 8am and they just sat there for 7 - 8 hours until i came home. been kinda staring at my phone at work to see if any strangers come near by lol. i seldom see packages in plain sight when i drive, passing by residents area and it seems so easy to just take one and not get caught. i wish there was a better way to protect ppls deliveries rather than just sit and wait.

ive heard of epic before but never really bothered to look into its controversial stuff. O_o like i wanted to get world war z from steam but i couldnt find it. later i learned that its only available on epic.i wasnt happy to hear that honestly and it seems a lot of ppl dislike epic for such a reason as well for monopolizing newly released games to their store platform only, plus ppl complained the site has been hacked multiple times before so theres that. idk, free sounds good but i trust negative views more now than good ones lol. but if you think its a good place for gaming, how do you compare with steam?

^ LOL wtf this games definetly broke. went to my brothers house yesterday and i was watching my brother play a mini mission and like every 20 seconds combat alerts were buzzing like crazy and he was really confused wth was going on. its a simple misson going from point A to point B looking for someone lol. graphic was okay, things were moving smoothly, but the big city is EMPTY..hardly any ppl around and cars rarely moving. and upgrade will be what like later next year so damn they really screwed up with this one “As for the game play issues I doubt they'll be fixed (it's a fundamental problem with the combat system, gun play is clunky at best and not satisfying at all. Guns are extremely inaccurate (even pistols)” i thought it was my bad aiming at first bc i suck at FPS games playing with a console controller but when i shot at a flying police bot at point blank range, i still missed, while it has some kinda seeker bullets that follow me and hits me no matter where i hide. and since there was no one to really fight, i shot at some civilians. some die “correctly” but not everyone. i put 8 bullets in a chest and 2 bullets in a head of this person and still manage to runs away from me lol

my checking account gives me 2 options to avoid a fee each month. one is to have a certain amount of daily balance in it or make a direct deposit of $500. one time i did a transfer from my emergency account to my current checking account bc i needed some funds to pay and it counted as a direct deposit. i could just transfer back and forth every month without paying a fee that way too lol. but this is a really old account, opened it when i was like 18. and with bad rep its getting from news in recent years, ill just use it as a backup account when i get a new one later. thats really sad that ppl are losing their livelihood. if availability of vaccine somehow eases things down, thatll be great and we'll hopefully get back to normal, but i have a feeling this vaccine will cause more havoc than covid because its being rushed and pretend its suppose to work. most ppl i know says let others take it first and see what happens to them..i mean thats not a confident thing to say when someone says they found a cure for something that public desperately needs. i watched an old documentary long ass time ago about a morning sickness pill for pregnant women back in 60s. it took 2 years for them to alert that those who took the pills have babies born without limbs (affected 46 countries, w/ tens of thousands children born with deformities). who knows what long term effect this vaccine will have it on ppl in such a way or worse, scary thought.

^ that bank sounds great. too bad i cant find m&t in my area. ill keep looking but ill might wait it out for now and to see how vaccine release and 3rd wave of covid would do to banking services in the coming weeks.

wow thats horrible. just saw the comparison video, even pc version is crap. i was a bit hesitant to buy and good thing i didnt order it bc my bro was telling me about how good it will be since early this year but wasnt sure if i want it or not. O_o i knew there was some kinda catch when they promoted the game with a celebrity up front like that. i like keeanu as an actor but not interested in the game where he has no connection to his movie roles at all. what a fail.

^ one of my bank's ATMs is incoviniently placed in a drive thru lol. the one that got closed didnt even have a drive thru. anyway i read google review about this location and ppl complaining about how it never works and it eats money and no ones really there to assist them lol. theres a small local bank that allows entrance so im thinking about opening an account there bc i need to deposit some cash too. —————————————— there are 6 death reported from covid volunteers recently. my coworker showed me an article from spanish newspaper but it doesnt state exactly where, only that it was in the US. i dont know how accurate the source is but after getting a vaccine, they died within 3 to 60 days span of cardiac arrest, and they were in there 50s and 60s. pretty scary if its true, bc vaccines are suppose be ready and available to public soon

isnt that too many? O_o i would have hard time keeping up with just one or even two these days. after bad reception from last jedi, i thought obi wan show was cancelled. i was kinda hoping events would take place during clone wars though..yeah i get that actors are old but we have deepfakes that could work on those actors now. and i dont know how hayden christionsen(?) gonna pull darth vader..he hates sand so maybe thats where obi hid rotfl. rogue squadron sounds good too but if events take place after return of jedi then it would be dull imo.

i swear i think the company was trying to screw me over. maybe because of my foreign name they thought i woudnt fight back or something? easy pick? idk but i was really persistent and kept updating my progress on getting copy of police report (itll take minimum 2 weeks and im sure they know that too). and due to Covid, most police station offices were closed, so only phone call or online were available to make a report. they eventually sent a cop to my house so i got a case # at least. its nothing short of a miracle that they decided to reship my order. its funny how ppl start to notice one star rating reviews when things go south with the company you trusted, because when i started read their bad reviews, they were very accurate in their complaints of what i experienced during the claiming process. and good thing i used UPS air (extra $5) 3 day delivery guarantee, i think thats how they get their insured money back and then to customers, otherwise the company would have just ignored me and rejected my claim bc its a total loss for them. “but once you start walking or driving around and the FPS drops to 15 and graphics look like PS1... damn.” that bad? damn O_o

im so exahusted and relieved at the sametime. my trouble started last month, my package got overlapped with thanksgiving day and it never arrived. not that i was ignorant about holiday seasons but i used echeck and its approval took longer than expected. it was a big order from a precious metal company so i was all stressed out and a claiming process was a nightmare for the next 2 weeks. after long and agonizing days of phone calls, emails, praying to God, and some crying, my order finally got reshipped yesterday and arrived today. it only took ONE day, from nevada to texas so that was really fast. O_o but man, im so thankful to Jesus right now bc it would have taken at least 4 months to recover from that loss if my claim was denied. it was so shady bc the company demanded a copy of police report in 5 days like wth. they later recanted and agreed to reship, and didnt honor their refund policy. i feel like i have aged 10 years this past few weeks. never again ill do any business with that type of company or spend that much online. hard lesson learned..and my other order is from amazon and it only took two days so idk maybe i got lucky with delivery timing this week or UPS has started to push out deliveries so that they wont be too overwhelmed in coming holiday weeks before christmas. i dont think ill be ordering anything starting next week just to be on the safe side

im catching up to technology..lol. i did my first mobile deposit tonight and it was super easy. if anyone hasnt tried yet, you just download the appropriate app for your bank and take pics of your check (front and back) and thats all you do. most banks are drive thru only and lines are ridiculously long now. i dont even attempt to go anymore. i can cash checks from my manager but he gives me the look because i bring him like 4 to 6 checks at a time lol..the bank i normally went to got closed permanently, so i thought about opening a new bank account for deposit only at someplace closer to home but now i dont have to. i can understand why most banks dont allow ppl in anymore except appointments only bc ppl can hide their faces much easier by wearing masks..plus they dont have to employee that many ppl bc you only need a few ppl to operate a drive thru. sucks for them to lose their jobs like this but it became much convinient for me i guess, forcing me to try new things etc.

its only time before theyd do another lockdown here in houston as well. i heard s.cali now are in stay at home order. and yeah they keep pushing back promises of stimulus and loans, everyones gonna suffer. most of warehouse workers are gone here, they came during lunch break buying beer and deli, but some of them still live around the neighborhood, they come and let us know that they were laid off in mass numbers at a time. itll eventually affect my workplace too, we already lost a lot of regular customers since this year. im really against taking vaccine though. i think luring ppl to get vaccine with stimulus is very plausible, O_o it might end up forcing ppl too if mass # of ppl still refused. last month or so 50+ died from new flu vaccine in s.korea. even though news says this new flu vaccine was not related to covid, id guess they were testing on ppl and then covered it up as just a normal flu vaccine that went awry..right. even if it offered a million i would never take it lol. it just doesnt feel right to me. if im forced to wear my mask in public forever, ill take that instead of taking vaccine as im so use to it by now

i think i watched like 2 new movies from disney+. that was about it. it didnt offer anything special compared to other streaming services. the ones that i did want to watch had like a schedule notice telling when itll be available but they were like months away to watch, so it was ridiculous. i could just rent it on amazon prime and get it over with. and i was already watching clone wars series on netflix at that time so all i was interested in were duck tales and tale spin but not enough to keep me interested in the long run so it had to go.

it seems like its a trend now for star wars movies and series to bring back deceased characters, apart from force ghosts. i wasnt a big star wars fan to begin with but last jedi kinda took the movie magic out of me. gave a couple mandalorian episodes a try but ended up cancelling disney+ and dont regret it

i was planning to buy more but i was caught up with playing games that i purchased earlier so the sale ended before i could get more. oh well

^ virtual hug sound so depressing but glad to hear you had fun with your family. "Meanwhile her husband lost his sense of taste and was sick for only a day." the post office lady i mentioned in earlier post said she was sick for 2 weeks and she said she still couldnt taste anything either. so yeah i ate that turkey that customer brought and that evening i came down with the exact same sickness that i suffered a month prior. it also lasted only a day so hey what a coincidence O_o. -------------------------- this is really heartbreaking. theres a bar across the street from my workplace and its been closed for months. im not complaining bc my work is considered essential and im not suffering financially for now but like the lady said in the video, its practically samething like we both sell food and beer but ones still open and ones closed. we arent bombarded with strict covid restrictions like restaurants and bars have to deal with. we only need a few visible mask signs here and there and thats about it. even though i dont feel strongly about covid being that serious, it feels like these covid regulations are made up as you go like ones way too extreme while others are way too lenient. everyones like saying we should have all closed down everything for 2 weeks when ppl were panic buying and prepared to stay home when everyones literally scared for life earlier this year. now most ppl want their jobs back and becoming more bitter about another looming lockdowns.

happy thanksgiving everyone. had bbq on tuesday at my brother’s because i couldnt make it on thanskgiving bc of work. i tried to talk to my brother and his wife about the covid, and dangers of its vaccine, and how i think its just a flu but they didnt want to hear it..telling me i should really be careful and that its very serious bc im the one exposed the most. not that i disagree with the latter but THEN they kept asking me to hug and play with my nephew and my brother wanted to share a chocolate cake with me after the dinner and im like what if i have a covid? and hes like Nehh..LOL. that threw me off, completely opposite from what they told me and how they act around me so that was funny. so yeah when i thought i wouldnt have any turkey this year, one of customers brought us some turkey and side dishes today so it was great. i was little hesistant to eat at first bc his cousin died of covid like 2 months ago but i was hungry and it was delicious lol. only scare i had was last month when a post office lady bought some soda and told me she had just recovered from covid..and right next day i was sick so i was little worried but it only lasted a day so maybe it was just allegy related cold i normally get around this time of year when weather changes. i suppose covid cases would skyrocket now after today as media is already blaming everyone for traveling and seeing our family and friends for thanksgiving. oh dear.. https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/despite-covid-warnings-2m-jerks-112616451.html

75% off!! got like 5 games that i wanted real cheap yesterday..mostly resident evil series and 4 dlc for american truck simulator. good thing i didnt buy any games last month. alot of good titles so far, some with 30%~60% as well, not bad. i’ll look for more today hehe. the sale ends Dec 1st https://store.steampowered.com

i went to my brother's house today and played ps5 little bit. he only has that new spiderman game for now so i lend him half of my ps4 games lol. he said the game crashed once, he just got it yesterday so that doesnt sound too comfy. he installed ghost of tsushima and it was pretty quick, i remember when i was installing it, it took awhile with my ps4. and i dont think there was any loading time now that i think about it. he kept asking me is it faster, does it look better? but idk i couldnt tell the difference, graphic or gameplay wise. its too early to tell from just a few ps5/4 games so yeah.
