My ps4 all of a sudden stopped showing up on my tv screen. I looked up what could be wrong and something about its HDMI not syncing with tv resolution. I unplugged everything for a while, and plugged ps4 HDMI into a different slot. Started working again. It's making me scared. Right now I have a brand new back up ps4 and I'm transferring all my data. Hopefully it works. This ps4 is only 14 months old.

One of the things about alcohol and why it's more accepted is its place in our culture and history
That shouldn't give alcohol a free pass. There are many things once was part of our culture that was acceptable that isn't now.
On 9/20/2020 at 10:45 AM, Shagger said:When abused, alcohol potentially causes greater detriment to one's health, that much is true, but it's not like Marijuana can't do the same when it's abused.
Alcohol is far more addictive, therefore more likely to be abused.
On 9/20/2020 at 10:45 AM, Shagger said:Marijuana depresses the senses, just like alcohol, and it's also a hallucinogenic. It is just as, if not more dangerous to drive or operate machinery while under its influence than alcohol, so the drink-driving thing is another very odd, nonsensical argument to make that doesn't help you. People who are high are also more likely to get behind the wheel than someone who's had a drink.
I completely disagree there. Both depresses the senses, but with alcohol people are way more likely to get behind the wheel. Alcohol has an 'energized' period. In that period is when a person loses inhibition and more likely to take off somewhere behind the wheel. Marijuana does not have that affect.
On 9/20/2020 at 10:45 AM, Shagger said:I've been around long term smokers of marijuana and lifelong drinkers, and whilst neither one is good, I would say on my experience marijuana definitely affects the mind in a way that is more potent than alcohol. The long term effects of marijuana need more research before it can be legalized IMO.
I highly doubt that marijuana's long term effects are as bad. Have you ever talked to a life long alcoholic? Their lives have been completely ruined in every possible way. They have lost everything from family to friends, to career, and even imprisonment due to the violent affects of alcohol. Marijuana doe NOT have those effects.
On 9/20/2020 at 10:45 AM, Shagger said:What I find interesting here is the fact you don't bring marijuana's medicinal properties up, and when others have said that it should be available through regulated, medicinal procedure, you call them "hypocrites" then go on about alcohol, something that isn't a medicine. The people were obviously refering to marijuana being regulated and and controlled as a medicine, so why ignore then call them hypocrites for not demanding regulations to alcohol? Well, I'll tell you why, because your selfish and twisting what people have said to fit your own self-centred argument.
Obviously anything used as medicine should be regulated. The original post was about if marijuana should be legal or not and others say it's easily abused...and yes that is hypocritical while highly abusive alcohol is legal. And alcohol has health benefits to reduce cholesterol and blood pressure in small amounts. Maybe that should be medically regulated and made illegal for recreational use. So yes, that is hypocritical.
On 9/20/2020 at 10:45 AM, Shagger said:You're not interested in having marijuana legalized AND regulated so it can be used as a medicine, you don't care about the people who could benefit from that. You just want marijuana legalized as a recreational drug for your own sake, and that's why you keep brining up alcohol because alcohol plays the role in society that you want marijuana to play. Let me make it clear, I have no problem with you smoking marijuana and getting high, that's perfectly fine. Face facts though, legalization is not going to happen for that reason and it shouldn't happen according to your own logic. According to you, and I'm not saying you're wrong, alcohol is bad and a detriment to society, but what you're proposing here is a society with another "alcohol" in it, and yet try to claim that's better? Think about that then ask yourself who's the hypocrite here.
First off, I did say marijuana is better than alcohol. But you accused me of not being interested in marijuana being used as medicine. You accuse me of wanting a society with another 'alcohol'. I know alcohol will never be illegal, but with all the negative effects of alcohol, makes it pretty hypocritical to not have a less danger to society such as marijuana to be legal as well. I agree in more potent doses marijuana should be regulated as medicine. But if such a dose for medical properties can be achieved through a couple puffs, then a prescription is not necessary. Because legalizing it only for prescription sounds like a ploy for pharma and the government to bank off of its properties. We don't know the dosage for medical benefits, but if it is attainable through recreational use and not an extract form or injection form, then pharma can fuck off.

For all you that think marijuana should be regulated, how so? You talk as if it can be easily abused more than alcohol. Hypocrites!!! Should alcohol be regulated? That is abused way more and is highly addictive. It is bad for liver, bones, kidneys, can cause cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, anxiety, other mental issues. It causes violence, reckless driving, and destruction of family and social life. It drains money and ruins you if abused. Yet the only regulation is you must be 21. Marijuana is not nearly as bad. For those that think it's a gateway drug, wrong!!! Alcohol is. A drunk person is more likely to sample other drugs more than a person under the influence of marijuana. Marijuana is a political ploy to mass incarcerate certain demographics, while giving free reign to the demographics of alcohol abusers.

A real man has the ability to admit faults and tries to fix them. A real man does not have homophobia. A real man does not think anyone or anything is below him. A real man will always stand up for and protect those that are weaker or oppressed. No matter what. A real man does not brag, show off, or underestimate anyone. A real man never asks anyone to do anything he can do himself.

Well, when your government thrives in chaos, you get chaos. This is nothing new. In this country it is.

That's pretty cool. What's it like having pet rats? I have 25 rabbits!!! I enjoy all of them. One is a a Continental giant. One species is too hard for me to pick. I really like cats, but as far as breed, I prob wouldn't care. Used to have an Akita dog. If I were gonna have dogs for life, I'm thinking Akitas. But then again that would be dangerous to others. So maybe a smaller, friendlier dog I can have run around all the time. Screw it, I'm all in for a pack of wolves.

If I say I am happy today, something bad will happen tomorrow. I haven't reached my potential cause I fell into the trap of alcohol, and everyone demonizes you instead of saying you are sick and need help. Things are ok now. If I say I've made peace with it, something will come back and haunt me tomorrow from the past. Guess that is a loop. I have animals that are fun to hang out with. One day I have a great enjoyable time, next day one dies. Everything has balance. So am I content right now? Yep. Right now I am till I wake up tomorrow and find out what bad thing happened while I slept. Gonna make tea and play Witcher 3 for the night. Tomorrow I'm ready for war again. War of life that is.

And trump appointing that crazy guy in charge of CDC now with russian ties. He claims shadows move around his ceiling, hit squads are after him and load up on ammo against liberals. The guy is now on leave of absence for 60 days from his craziness.
Let's see: Presidency is compromised
Attorney General is compromised
3rd supreme court appointee (he's gonna choose a crazy QANON) just watch
FBI is politically pressured
CDC is compromised
EPA is compromised
Post Office is compromised
ICE is compromised
Senate is compromised
How many governors are compromised?
Multiple people from this administration arrested and imprisoned
Schools are gonna become Hitler Youth due to 1776 commission as the gateway
The sciences are gonna be obliterated except for illegal experimentation as we now see in ICE forced sterilization
And I do believe we are Fucked

In today's climate with the fall of democracy and rise of the Nazis, our gaming will definitely change. Trump has attacked China based TikTok, and now attacking Fortnite. Corruption goes hand in hand with dictators, so that means tax dollars will be stolen and placed into hand picked companies just as we have already seen in bailout money. Fly by night cheese cracker companies will get government assistance to out compete the big gaming industry like Sony, Microsoft. It will be Nazi American made instead of Japanese. And since they want to control media, your future Nazi console will have limited variety of games. It will be tailored to suit the government approval of your entertainment. Sony and Microsoft will be forced to comply or get weeded out.

I'm fairly new to Assassins Creed so I didn't play the Ezio sega which everyone loves. Guess I'm the new generation of that franchise so it's tailored to ME and I love it so bug off. They need to keep it coming.

For that matter, I am always trying to figure out if the remaining military was really as bad as they came across. We got a terrible initial impression of them at the start of the game because of Sarah, and obviously they couldn't do an ideal job managing the crisis afterward, but they did at least maintain the quarantine zones.
Warning: Spoilers
Executing people on the spot that test positive for the virus is not a humane practice even during an apocalypse. Blood can catch on someone else etc. And I'm talking about many years later when Joel and Tess started off in the QZ, and opening scene as you walk out they lined up those people on the ground, scanned them, and executed one. Plus the 3 escaped the quarantine zone remember? So they failed.
The fireflies turned into what they opposed by forcing Ellie to give her life for a cure.

1776 Commission should be called 1861 Admission since the orange nazi confederate has an obsession with civil war.

Any open world game that I can just wander around aimlessly in without having to fight something constantly. Also several of the old Atari games. Q*Bert, Asteroids, Donkey Kong, Frogger, and Dig Dug to name a few.
I did always enjoy the hell out of the beginning of Twilight Princess when Link was still in Ordon Village. That is always relaxing.
Exactly, if it's open world and scenic, I just wonder around and take it all in. Like a mini vacation. Cool thing about AC Odyssey and Origins is the picture taking capability where you can move the camera all around and edit it. Or from above with the eagle view. I've taken a bunch of pics to save as memories for when I look back at my adventures years from now.

Yes! I played the whole series and having to be the one to make the tough decisions was excruciating.

You should definitely check out Gravity Rush Remastered and Gravity Rush 2. A game unique in style and setting where you control the gravity with a compelling story to boot.
That does look like a fun game. Unique! I'll give it a try. Price not bad either for GR 2

Is collecting a big enough topic for itself?
I collect mineral specimens and gi joes. Do you collect games? What is it you collect?
Mineral specimens are natural crystals grown through its given environment. Gi Joes, well, just wish they were here today to fight Trump AKA Cobra Commander.

I think there is a big correlation between baby boomers and trump's make america great again bell song for authoritarianism. The baby boomer population is very large in USA demographics. You would think they would be concerned by healthcare, which this administration gives a hoot about. And even if they come up with a half asses plan 1.5 months before election, shows their concern. Especially after a major botched pro death response to a pandemic.
But most baby boomers are white. They lived through segregation, 60's era reform, and WERE fresh from the fight against fascism. But, yet, they clearly want authoritarianism and dictatorship. Their privilege leaves them nothing to protest about, except to not wear a face mask during a pandemic. So, they care nothing for the freedom of speech of protestors and would love the U.S. military to kill protestors. What do they care?
Baby boomers have houses and have money passed down and made it through hard work privilege. Studies paid off.
I live in klanville deep in the country behind enemy lines of the old white baby boomers that walk around with stink eye. They want dictatorship. I can see it. I have family in Florida that are straight military, baby boomer, confederate flag sons of bitches. I hear their language. I know them first hand. My grandpa is a deceased colonel from Vietnam and the Cold War. They collect guns. They don't seem to care about democracy unless its only for them.
What next once baby boomers died off? Is that when we have to reform again as a country? And only then? Are baby boomers holding this country hostage through their last dying racist breaths?

Underground metal and rap. There are only a handful of mainstream bands I like. My absolute favorite band, coincidentally enough, is mainstream. Disturbed. Some other bands I like are Device, Linkin Park, Static-X, Hatebreed, Devil Driver, Arch Enemy, 6 Feet Under, Them, Dimmu Borgir, Broken Hope, and Breaking Benjamin just to name a few.
For the rap I like Twiztid, Boondox, Blaze, ABK, AMB, BAD MiND, Eminem, Ice-T, Tech N9ne, Krizz Kaliko, Necro, Snoop, Tupac, 3 6 Mafia, Wolfpac, KO Streetz, and a few others.
You have heard NF right? Mansion is a good album
My genres today have dramatically changed the past few years. The reason why is cause I struggled with alcohol. I can't listen to angry music anymore. So that eliminates most metal, rock, and rap. I have taken a turn to 80's music, Indie type artists, new age, and here it is...latin rock? I'll tell you something. Latin rock I've been listening to, I don't even know what they are saying, but the music suits my soul in this present age. I flipped through the music channels on direct tv and came across some beautiful music. And no it isn't rippa rippa thlllllllllllllleba!!! Nope it's way better than todays rock.

Definition of a parasite: an organism that lives on or in a host organism and gets its food from or at the expense of its host.
Earth is our host. It provides everything we need to survive healthy and bountiful. Humans destroy entire ecosystems. We annihilate forests. We pollute water, air, and top soil. We drive animals to extinction. We dig deep for resources such as oil and metals. Instead of protecting our host we look for another planet sustainable for life that we can destroy. We are almost viral in a way because we change the DNA of crops, animals, and pretty much anything we can get away with without any remorse of the consequences.
We don't give anything back. Only take take take like the parasites we are. I believe there are different strains of humans. Most are parasitic. Even those with a conscious still contribute to pollution and the poisoning left behind from industry due to consumerism. Unfortunately, the parasitic strains of humans will lead to the demise of us and our host.
But yes, by all definition humans I believe are parasites. Do you know a parasitic strain of a human? Can you argue humans are not parasites?

Ok geesh; From here I'll keep anything that sounds political in politics section. I'm sure everyone here is smart enough to know war is not a sport. But if we don't question things we become 'herd mentality'
PS4 Blackout?

No, something was definitely wrong. I switched HDMI cable, plugged into different HDMI on tv. Found one HDMI slot that works. It wasn't picking up tv resolution. I guess it's sort of common I have seen on the web. Now I'm having a problem transferring data. Keeps freezing at a certain point. Might have save all the data manually from an external drive and reinstall each game separately on the new ps4. Bummer. No gaming for a while. Soldier is down! Carry the flag!
