So early Wednesday morning I posted about Microsoft once again raping my Xbox 360 with another useless update that changed everything into their awful new W8/metro style with no way to change anything. if anyone actually likes metro you are an incredibly terrible person For the record, I'd like to announce that they haven't added one thing that I will EVER use in FOUR YEARS. Nope. Four giant, completely useless updates that have only served to kiddify what used to be a pretty badass gaming console. Oh, and now there's all that lame facebook and Netflix and twitter shit on there now, too. But I digress.
I was honestly so furious that I couldn't go to sleep until almost three. I may have actually fractured my hand in my rage when I slammed my fist on the floor. No joke. In case you don't know by now, when I get that mad I get super strong and things get punched/broken. Which is why I take great pains to not get that mad but arbitrary, pointless, and irreversible fuck-you-if-you-don't-like-it changes are one thing that just send me over the edge every single time.
Anyway, I got up a few hours later and got N ready for school and off to the bus and I reread it. Some of you really early risers may have seen it and if you did...I'd like to apologize for the rampant profanity. I must have dropped a good dozen bombs in three paragraphs. So I took it down. And thought to myself that yeah, it sucks they just arbitrarily change things but jesustapdancingchrist you probably broke a bone in your hand over something that is in all honesty rather stupid to get that mad over. So I calmed down and was still angry at M$ but no longer furious.
.................................
Until my Android phone updated itself at work tonight. Once again a company changed things just because they could and changed the layout of my phone and added all sorts of shit I don't want and can't take off. Just like M$ did earlier that day.
Once we were closed and I actually had time to look at what had been changed I was enraged. Nothing that I wanted or will ever use. Another games app, some dumb e-book app, and something else I can't think of right now, not to mention my display is now tiny and looks like it was stenciled by a retarded chimp. And I can't change it. I swear that having that done to me is my anger switch. I was out back smoking when I realized how much my phone had been raped and it was only the fact that it was about 15 degrees that saved a beer keg from being turned inside out with a sledgehammer. (why is there a sledgehammer outside our back door at work? your guess is as good as mine)
I'm all for change but I want to be able to decide what I change, not have it shoved at me. Change how things run in the background but don't mess with my settings and layouts. I can, if I wanted, put a much more powerful engine under my hood without changing the way my truck looks on the outside AT ALL. How hard can not messing with my layouts honestly be? Protip: it's not.
However, there is a hint of light this time around, unlike in my ongoing war against Microsoft (who, btw, will no longer be getting a dime from me). I can root my damn phone and give Google (or whoever, idc) a giant middle finger, something I should have done when I first got it but never did because I never got around to it, and change shit back the way I want. I can supposedly root my xbox to a degree but I haven't figured out how hard it is or if it's even worth the effort.
Long story short, Microsoft can eat fat bags of dicks and whatever stupid name the most recent Android update has can eat fat bags of dicks.
tl;dr I ranted, took it down, and ranted again the next night about the same thing.
anyway, it's late and I have to get up in four hours. night, all. |
