If you can read this...

... you're officially qualified to understand a Chilean speaking.

The only things I can understand here is Facebook and Minecraft.

Chileans are infamous for three things. Sarcasm to a level that only internet reviewers are ready for, swearing like Russian sailors in the middle of a cluster of ships, and using so much slang and malapropisms that, combined with the other two, make the Chilean-Spanish intelligible, even for other Hispanic speakers.

Technically, you're right. "Puta" does translate as bitch (or whore, depending on the context). However, in this case, it's being used as "fuck". That's the closest you got.

I could try to translate full, but it would take broad explanations on why each word has multiple uses, even within this context. The abridged version would be "Fuck, this shit is so fucking lame. I don’t know why I fucking came here. I could be at home right now, playing LOL, screwing around in Minecraft or posting shit in Facebook".

As I said, like Russian sailors in a cluster of ships.
