What was Amazing in 2019


OK, I have not done one of these in a couple of years. This was probably because nothing impressed me enough record it or I procrastinated too much. I may actually pick a few things from the previous couple of years when making this list.

1) Movies - Most movies were a complete waste of time except for Alita Battle Angel, Avengers Endgame and Infinity War. I also really liked Dragon Ball Z Super Browly, This movie introduced me to the world of ANIME.

2) Television - The streaming wars are heating up and I am just getting bombarded with quality television. The Boys, The Mandolorian, The Witcher, Kobra Kai, The Expanse, The Dragon Prince, Swamp Thing, Lost In Space, Altered Carbon. The only problem is most of these shows drop whole seasons at once and I end up watching them all in one sitting instead of savoring them weekly. With all this content competition investors will have no choice but to produce quality none political shows or face the chopping block. I am really looking forward to seeing what I will get in the coming years.


3) Anime - I discovered Anime this year and there are thousands of shows that I can watch now that never considered. The best thing about there being such a huge Anime archive is I can go online and pick the best shows to watch by searching for top 10 anime lists.

Death Note
4) Video Games - 99% of them sucked over the last couple of years. I only liked Gears 4 and the the God of war this generation. With game pass I have played a couple of older games like Gears of war 3 and mass effect and I find that I can get use to the older graphics pretty quickly and I enjoy those older games a lot.

5) Xbox Game Pass - This is something very cool that the xbox has come up with. Now players can pay $10 a month and have access to almost 200 games including new ones. This is a turning point, before this we had to pay $90 per new game or at-least fifteen dollars for a single old game but this subscription service changes all that..

6) Gearbest - I have discovered that most expensive small electronics and other items can be bought very cheaply on this Chinese website. You won't be able to buy expensive brand name items but I don't care about that. I bought the Gome note phone which has similar specs to a highend Samsung galaxy phone at less then $200 and many other things like mounts and connectors at likely 10% of what I would have to have paid at another retail outlet.

7) Bluetooth one ear headphones - these have existed forever but I only discovered them this year, They can just be left in one rar and I can listen to many great mp3s while going about my day while I can still hear what is going on around me with the one open ear.

8) Samsung galaxy Fold - For the first time since the original iPhone, we have new mass market hardware that think will be very successful. I have to remember to stop myself from being impulsed into buying one because I don't think it will add functionality to my life that I do not have with my phone and tablet.

9) None Playstore apps - this has been around forever as well but I only discovered it this year. There are great apps such as OGYoutube that lets me watch youtube videos without adds and Snaptube which allows me to download youtube videos as mp3s.

10) Udemy - I don't know if I have mentioned this site already this site lets you learn anything you want to with cheap online courses. This year I did a web development course and even put an app of the play store. I will do a lot more learning in the coming years.

11) Brave Browser - Love this browser, It allows me to use chrome plugins which no other browser currently allows. I use both chrome and brave for different uses. I like brave for torrenting and the vpn plugin is great for that.

12) Plugins - Speaking of chrome plugins I love the video blocker plugin, since the Trump election youtube has broken its search engine so you now get endless attacks on GEOTUS so having the uBlocker plugin to is really good to have to get away from the agenda. I also like the uBlacklist plugin which stops annoying websites from google search results.

13) Elon Musk - He is doing a couple of cool new things. He is trying to send up his starlink satellites to give everyone in the world high speed internet and he is doing this by dumping 80 satellites in orbit at a time and letting them separate themselves. He just revealed the cyber-truck which has a stainless steel body which can take bullets very cool. He just finished a Gigafactory in China and plans to start building another Gigafactory in Germany next year.

14) Jeff Bezos - His space Blue Origin company is very quite but he is building some massive hydrogen powered ships and I am looking forward to seeing them. The best none political TV shows last year were on Amazon Prime - The Expanse and The Boys and I am looking forward to Picard and their Lord Of The Rings Show.

Blue Origin
HAPPY NEW DECADE.
