Three Games, Three Tracks - Pt. 29

Life has been quite stressful so why not create another Three Games, Three Tracks installment? I also want to vent out another yap session so this is a nice way to kill two birds with one stone I guess.

Life feels weird these days and I wonder if I'm not alone or I'm just getting older. I feel kinda old anyway.

Aging does feel pretty weird I'll say that. With so much information that we get flooded with in 2026, I wonder if people feel older in general. Such a massive volume of information at everyone's disposal it just gives an odd illusion, an odd feeling if that makes sense. It's the first time in history that such a massive amount of information can be accessed by the average joe. I mean, who knows what type of impact this has on people.

I keep hearing people claim Millennials and Gen Z are 'dumber' than prior generations and I sort of find that silly. I am personally a Millennial but just barely. I'm a young Millennial, close to being a very old Gen Z. A Zillennial? I know, this generation labeling is kinda weird. That being said, I am in a fairly odd position from that perspective. Like, half the time I relate to my Millennial folks, half the time I can understand where Gen Z is coming from. I think.

To be frank sometimes I wonder if Boomers and Gen X people are caught in the past with a hint of jealousy even. People around my age have a lot of information at their disposal and perhaps are less scared to call out injustices and unfairness because it seems rather obvious and blatant.

I guess it comes down to your vibe really.

This internet/information age is obviously flawed to an extent since anyone can just spew out information literally 24/7. BUT prior to the internet only a handful of people actually controlled what information gets released to the public.

I think I prefer this time where there's a lot of information. I think even if some of this info is false or misleading or click-baity, I think it gives us all a chance to just sort of have a more realistic understanding of how selfish and messed up everyone is.

Yeah, lately I've been rather pessimistic about society as a whole. I feel like the past fifteen years has been a real mask off moment for humanity.

I mean, I know this is a dog eat dog world but man, it's alarming just how bad it is. It's sickening. People wonder why people are slowly turning to God more often, it feels like the only warm/inviting thing available to cling to.

So are we getting dumber? It's hard to say. I think my generation is sort of wiser at an earlier age than prior generations. If I need to learn to fix something I'll literally just use the internet. I don't know why that's even frowned upon frankly.

'What if the internet goes down' many people say. Well, I guess I'm screwed in that scenario. Not sure what else to tell ya there. I guess I'll have to cross my fingers.

I mean seriously, not everything people consume online is all brain rot. To assume that ALL of this info that can be tapped into by people will always lead to stupidity doesn't even make any sense. Just how?

Meh. Life is exhausting. I've been watching a lot of stuff involving the economy and how the rich have been getting richer and how the prior generation essentially screwed us. Then they have the audacity to call us ungrateful, dumb, lazy etc.

I have no doubt prior generations had their challenges and physically worked hard, but it's wild how many older people think that this era is all sunshine and rainbows. We have wifi and more food delivery options. I mean, unless we're talking like the 1930's or older, their life was not that much harder if at all.

I'll summarize this rant on an odd note. I had a job once that was criminally easy and I actually got paid fairly well for it. But like, is that not strange? How was I actually contributing to society? Did I really deserve such a decent paycheck for simply moving boxes...? I mean I needed the money and I was not complaining but, something does feel odd there if you think about it.

It's sad really. As long as I make some millionaires happy, I guess I have a shred of value in this world.

Whatever, my son's birthday festivities are this weekend and that's going to be fantastic.

Also, Friday the 13th felt like the right excuse for a cursed chess vibe. I haven't played much chess recently but I may do a binge run soon.

On to the tunes and games.

EsDeeKid - Omens
This song is super fun and addicting!

Kendrick Lamar - HiiiPower
Classic Kendrick is like an ice cold bottle of water in the middle of the night.

$uicideboy$ - My Flaws Burn Through My Skin Like Demonic Flames from Hell Just a solid track from the boys. Thumbnail art also goes hard

My random video of the day is a few 'brain rot' shorts actually. After my sorta serious rant why not add some comedy into the mix to lighten the mood? It's this guy called 'K Prezzi' and he makes the goofiest stuff I swear!

Intellectual Battle
Not the crockpot
So Fancy
Core Memories

When in doubt, play some chess.

I'll try not to re-share music I've already posted in this series but if I do this series over years, which I very well could, I'll likely forget if I shared a song over time.
