Deceptive title but I'm about to talk about something
soo technical that even armchair-bombasts falter.
Car analogy: you've decided, for whatever reason, to stick to gas-powered engines.
If I went into when they were made,
the history of pistons and cylinders,
and some math thrown in, (to look impressive,) calculating power ratios,
Would you know which model you needed?
You'd still wonder which car was fastest or most economical.
Well, switch over to the extreme minutia surrounding wifi routers.
One is more expensive, because it has more features.
A note on OFDM (the acronym)
crosswise or x-shaped are too common, they're beneath you, I know.

My current gripe is the hidden channel my router's latest firmware suddenly wants to broadcast.
I paid TONS for this and was very happy it didn't broadcast hidden clone channels,
that some attribute to "Backhaul."
Backhaul to what?
Now it does (broadcast hidden clone spy(?) channels.)
Hey, Router!! No backhaul here! No MLO!
Ah, fucket, (I said), disable ALL wifi, no ghosts.
Now it tells me, I need VLAN or die.
The default settings overrode me anyway.
(Changing to "Access" just pissed it off)
Hidden channels on a VLAN that govt and idle hackers can monitor, is creepy.
"But perhaps I misconstrue"
Everyone everywhere wants to know where I am and where I was.
(Can you purchase politically-correct histories??)
Maga hats, Ford Trucks, what the minister of whatever, said today.
I want to buy a game (it's that, or eat something)"Atomic Heart" (I bought this. The rest of this needs a biggie edit)
A woman(?) writes a review on a game, and she apparently contradicts some other reviewers.
She likes that enemies respawn (why?)
But what reeeeally annoyed me is how she managed to insinuate her politics into a game, but I have questions now.
"Zero woke (rare these days)"
Means what, exactly?
Everyone is white?
Everyone's republican? I could look up "woke" and be here til midnight wondering about all the definitions.

| Yeahbut at least it's not "woke" |
I think I read (or is my alzheimer's kicking in) something about the setting being a lot like Russia, or like one of the Bioshock games.
But the game is an alternate universe from 1955 or so, yada blah.
I *Liked* "Bioshock-infinite" and if it's a clone, so be it, naysayers.
You can't swing a cat without hitting a government show on TV or a combat squad videogame, so when did we start being so upper-crust and dissing "derivative" games?
Fine, bring on the derivations.

| The extra (useless?) info they give you is nightmarish |
I'm wondering what language the math is in. Algebra? Calculus? 3rd-grade new math?
The brain-damaged, main-character carries this in his head.
The endless puzzles (and the cartoons) distract from the dark message (dark pointless message so far.)
It's a lot like the game called "We happy few" and I don't remember much about that game, except it was fun to play, for a while.
A bombastic aside
One of the first games I bought for my first DOS-type PC was, "Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy", adored by nerds everywhere.
I got permanently stuck on one of their puzzles
"Open the door, hal"
And was insulted by a real nerd for not figuring it out (it was a phrase you had to type)
Superior self righteous (non-woke) ASSholes in this game reminded me of that day, which went down in infamy forever.
Lousy game, lousy movie.
Of course if you were a *salesman* hawking new products, they (the nerds) would be your best customers.
Same for watches (but I digress)
This train of thought was in a wreck. That is, there is no deep meaning here, just bits of random thoughts.
What does "Iconic" really mean??
I'm editing in the iconic "Samovar" (teapot) which is in my game.
Apparently (different blog) people elevated teapots to the level of icons.
Do I need a damn quote? TBA
"The Statue of Liberty," says Google.
Then it mentions "Paris Hilton"
and Motorola phones.
Hire a publicist, become iconic (I guess)
But is "Iconic" like that word "woke" because it depends a LOT on who is saying it?
