Thanksgiving 2024 Plans

This week is Thanksgiving and for the first year in a long time we’re not doing anything. Honestly, that is fine as Thanksgiving and even Christmas have no meaning for me anymore. Sure it was one thing when you’re a child, but now I see not only the commercialization of it, but the greediness of it. People use the Cyber Sales all month long on things for themselves and I think even Black Friday is the same.

I know I am guilty of this as well. We’ve spent a lot of money on deals this year getting the stuff we need or want for ourselves. The sad thing is sometimes they aren’t even that good. Looking at Honey, I saw something that was say $300, go up to $400 and then 2 days later come down to $295 so they could say it’s $105 off. I worked in retail during Black Friday before and it was a shitshow, don’t get me wrong, but I don’t remember marking things up in price only for them to come down a few days later. It’s crazy to think retailers are doing this now, especially when now is the easiest time in history to track and can be tracked automatically.

I will be spending my Thanksgiving gaming and getting this new section ready. I think I have it figured out, I spent yesterday trying to come up with a solution for it and I think I finally have it sorted out. The idea came from Ubersuggest who kept telling me create content for this, even though it doesn’t fit into what I already had, so now I am working on a section that will fit into these kinds of suggestions. I wouldn’t have even considered it unless there were multiple of the same kinds being suggested, so now I am going to be adding it and I’ll see how well it does. It will tie into the games section and hopefully expand on that in a positive way.

I am also trying to figure out if I can use the Xbox API to track and retrieve Achievements automatically. There was a way I used to do it, but now it seems like that is no longer working. My idea with it is to automate getting the Achievements and showing them on the games pages. If I can get this to work, then I will also look into doing the same for Playstation and maybe even Steam Achievements. I am trying to show as much information there as I can, including past streams, story summary, etc. I have a lot of old videos I started going through as well, so even if a game doesn’t have a playthrough attached to it yet, that doesn’t mean it will always be that way. I am probably going to be spending the long weekend working on that when I am not working and gaming.

So what are your plans for the holidays this year?
