I thought that but I don't get the theme ( what is the theme ? ) - if it's computer games or the like I'm not surprised I don't understand

It's classic computer games (all PC so far, but the best games always were, to start with at least.
I was going to go with DOOM instead of QUAKE (since it spawned a whole genre all on it's own, though Wolfenstein had something to do with it) but at four letters it's a bit too easy.
Tomorrow's will not be four letters ...

For this long I was thinking of a game that ends with word home.

People who move to the countryside and then start to bitch about noises and smells and tractors that slow down traffic and so on should be tarred and featherd. I am in the council of my village; three months ago people moved in the village (300 inhabitants) and immediately started complaining about the "noise" made by the church bell at 6:30 in the morning, and DEMANDED that we have it stopped. I am just lucky - and they are too - that there was nothing heavy enough in reach to beat the s**t out of them. Of course, in the same time, they do not understand why driving at 1AM through the village at full speed with their Ferrari can be seen as a problem for the inhabitants.

You get 'em everywhere: there are a bunch who bought houses near Heathrow Airport - because they were cheap - and then proceeded to complain about the noise, which was why the houses were cheap ...
Asshats, the lot of 'em.

I know your pain.
The town where I live is slightly larger, and my house is on the edge of a forest, but it's a "historical" town, so city boys see it as an attractive place to move to.
@rseholes, every one of 'em.
Country life is not city life -- don't move to the country until you understand the differences (and until you've learned how not to be a d1ck).

[^] Woe unto me: this meat-over-bone package a mind-soul inhabits, to which a thin film of awareness of a fictional construct of temporal continuity, known as Bill, adheres like slime-mold tracks on concrete ... as of now is 988 moons of age.
What greater relief from the vicissitudes of time falling like half-frozen honey off a spoon can I have than unburdening myself, here, with a purgative confessional sonnet, written for the occasion. Call it "the weight:"
i shoulder this weight of pretending to carry
a burden of imagining i know more than i know
i trudge on with lead feet through wilderness,
my ignorance disguised beneath harlequin rags
i burn the altar of confessed doubt: i poison
uncertainty's sweet wine with tart conviction
i collude with you to speak of love, as if we
once understood what unselfishness really was
i tell everyone i am not just a circus parade
instincts put on as dogville's bigtop goes up
i'm held to the ground by sincerity's gravity,
crushed under the juggernaut of necessary lie
you won't wonder why i whisper after you hear
the bald-faced lies echoes say behind my back "the weight" copyright 2019, Bill Woodruff, published under the CPOPL (CodeProject Open Poetic License).

I'm no poet.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

"half deconstructed" ? take a cue from a master: Quote: It is not me who is the clown, but this monstrously cynical and so unconsciously naive society, which plays the game of seriousness in order better to hide its madness. Dali

Fans of Douglas Adams may remember Wonko the Sane, who took Dali's sentiment to the extreme.
I'd explain it, but it's mind bendingly silly, and Adams does it best.
