Ceallach
Smells like fresh rosebuds
Weird title. I know.
But I'm deployed out here in the middle of nowhere and have not had personal access to the internet since January 17. 30 days after that all of my offline content expired. Normally, I would never go without 30 days on a deployment without hitting a port, but COVID has changed that and I've been at sea nonstop for 134 days. So I've had to buy THINGS again. Games, Blu rays, CDs(!!), and I forgot how much I enjoy that tactile feeling of having it in my hands. The ritual of opening it, the smell of a CD booklet. It was also funny how I fell immediately back into habits that I haven't performed in forever. Grabbing the CD(an old Pierce the Veil album I missed), and digging my lower canine into the little slots to break the plastic then ripping it away.
It's crazy how much of people's shit is fucking worthless right now without an ability to go online for even simple checks. I have software that doesn't work right now, there are people who bought tablets and shit that have no way of setting them up offline, so much weirdness has proliferated like screen recordings on people's iPhones whose subscriptions have expired and even I am using VLC on my iphone as my primary music player which I would never even consider normally as it is anything but intuitive,
