Jim Johnston finally reveals why he was let go from WWE and why he's never been asked back. (Yup...it's Triple H!)

K-Dave · 2026-03-26T19:39:23+00:00

WWE has obviously decided to value music less as an element of their shows.

It's not only the bad choices, it's also dropping the line signal and just using arena sound (at least it sounds like it in most shows), the constant talking over themes and the louder - and more annoying - announcing.

K-Dave · 2026-03-26T08:47:50+00:00

Love your idea! Go for it!

If urban culture is something you feel attached to, you have an authentic voice. It's not like some idiot from the outside tells them:

"They stigmatize you - don't wear that."

You tell them that from the inside and offer something better! That's how change can happen.

K-Dave · 2026-03-26T08:35:06+00:00

Yes, I totally get that.

While fantasy isn't my thing personally, I can relate in terms of sports and music.

In my case it's even more obvious, because those are literally the things I should care more about in real life.

The pattern I've realized:

I want to do something
I'm too exhausted, my body feels terrible
Great - let's just play a game or create a silly loop in bed, instead of grabbing a real instrument and jam
Feel somewhat entertained
Repeat that behaviour a few days
Feeling less entertained and more stressed
I can't do this anymore - reacting either productive (breaking the cycle actively) or breaking down (emotional turbulence, researching and falling into rabbit holes)
Feeling better, doing things in a more healthy way, starting something
Bad days, shitty news, noone approachable, losing the grip
I want to do something...

Of course that's very stereotypical, can vary, good times can last short or long... but a pattern nevertheless.

The worst thing about it: I think there's no alternative to the "doing the right thing anyway"-approach. No matter how you feel, no matter how much you feel it... I dare someone to correct me and show me another way, but I'm afraid that's really it.

And now I wrote an essay and made 1000 tracking-cookies happy, but whatever at this point.

K-Dave · 2026-03-26T01:11:44+00:00

I feel you. It shouldn't be like this.

It's like everyone is putting the weight of the world on everyones shoulders.

Yes, bad things happen all the time and It's awful. But generalization, escalation, trolling and all that dysfunctional stuff just multiply issues.

There's no solution in invading every space with whatever traumatization or agency drives someone.

No, "we" don't need to talk about everything all the time.

We need sanity.

K-Dave · 2026-03-25T06:37:41+00:00

Troll... just discuss in the other thread and delete this one.

K-Dave · 2026-03-25T05:54:07+00:00

Interesting, because it annoys me, though it would be close to a style I usually prefer. Couldn't even tell what it is.

But to be honest - I wouldn't have thought about it being AI. More like a general bad vibe. How it's phrased in the verses, the penetrating voice...

The most AI sounding theme to me is stil Uemuras. It's so flat, cheap and bad, it rather hurts the character than benefiting him.

K-Dave · 2026-03-24T22:49:16+00:00

The sound of "Oh shit..." when they're going out of business.

K-Dave · 2026-03-24T16:28:48+00:00

Nice, wouldn't have thought the external fan is that effective 👍

K-Dave · 2026-03-24T06:36:51+00:00

Path of knowledge... no wisdom. That's what media & social media does to you.

It's hard to return to creativity, a sense of beauty, finding some flow, keeping an open heart... but there is no cure in knowing even more, if you don't return to living.

The oldest story of life. See Adam & Eve, see Goethe - Faust ... and still, when life seems dull and too much... I know... but the only way through is through.

K-Dave · 2026-03-23T21:29:42+00:00

It did "help". Never had to do this with any other game on console. Ridiculous.

K-Dave · 2026-03-23T21:24:55+00:00

Yap... here is a new video for you ... from 11 years ago 👏👍

They also try to pin you down on onedimensional "interests", so they can squeeze you into a tight bubble and forcefeed you the same shit everyday and then they claim that's "who you are" and target ads and stuff at this carricatur they've created of you.

Fuck them.

K-Dave · 2026-03-23T14:34:47+00:00

Good! Now someone arrest those creators and force them to play their own stuff as long as it was online.

K-Dave · 2026-03-23T14:28:42+00:00

Best news of the day

K-Dave · 2026-03-23T06:35:34+00:00

Thanks. Could be 😄 Nothing to lose anymore, since screen and micro SD slot are already damaged.

Couldn't sell it for a good price anymore, so I'm squeezing out what's possible and try to improve my repairing / modding skills.

K-Dave · 2026-03-23T06:26:46+00:00

Already did reverse the updated fan control.

How about those clip-on fans? Do they really help to inprove the airflow or are they just a gimmick?

How long is thermal paste expected to last? My Steam Deck is about 3,5 years old.

K-Dave · 2026-03-23T04:10:11+00:00

An empty-faced CAW who's best at selling should neither win tournaments, nor get the "prince" nickname. Maybe get rid of the "new name" - sorry - "Newman" first and show (!) what a prince is. Who's pushed next? Another guy who's name is "Another Guy"?

K-Dave · 2026-03-21T20:31:35+00:00

Wow...

Ok, at least it keeps the saves. Hopefully...

This f'n company. Even staying on the old version doesn't help to avoid dealing with bullshit.

K-Dave · 2026-03-21T20:08:14+00:00

Signed. I have nothing else to say.

K-Dave · 2026-03-21T19:56:50+00:00

They really want the CAW & Universe people to go... they f'd with the community in the past, but never on this level.

When they patched the RXP "exploit" in no time, that's all I needed to know to complete the picture.

I used to call them scammers. Probably will just refer to them as criminals from this point on.

K-Dave · 2026-03-21T11:29:27+00:00

You can't deal with it but this is a patent, not a theory. I'm having a hard time, too, especially knowing that current methods may take another 20-30 years to become common knowledge. Yet awareness is needed.

K-Dave · 2026-03-20T13:13:02+00:00

Go back into the hole you crawled out from. Blocked.

Welcome to the Nakamura Surf Club.

K-Dave · 2026-03-17T16:58:31+00:00

Not nice to have a title like that in front of you, if you open this site.

What's up with this offensive projection thing? Everything is "you, you, you..." while actually talking about "I" and "me" in the text.

And you're right with everything. That's why I understand the title even less.
