We try out the Normal settings but if it gets to be too much, we change to Easy. Only after we've done a game once & feel confident, will we go to the Hard level. I like a challenge but I rather have fun more than anything.
-
Bugs Bunny for me! I also like the trio of Bugs, Daffy, Elmer doing their skits. Especially the Rabbit Season/ Duck Season skit! Anybody into the spin-offs of Tiny Toons or Baby Looney Tunes? They are older cartoons as well but I've always enjoyed them for a good laugh.

I watched a few episodes when it came out in 2005 but it IS quite deep. I used to be into horror movies & shows but as I’ve gotten older, they are not for me anymore. I can handle Sci-Fi, but nothing on the gory side. It is an American Dark Fantasy Drama starring Jared Padalecki (Gilmore Girls). It has a good cult following going on for 15 seasons now. But I know many who are saddened it will end.

Jim Gaffigan, John Pinette are some of the ones I like. I will have to add in Bill Cosby too. Regardless of what goes on with the media, I can still enjoy somebody's talent. We've even seen him at a show many years ago. He was always quite funny & I've recently watched some of his shows again from the 1980's. Timeless classics!

A 2011 Sci-Fi Action movie starring Justin Timberlake & Amanda Seyfried. In the year 2169, people are genetically engineered to stop aging when they reach the age of 25. Then a one-year countdown begins on their arm. When it reaches Zero, the person dies. Instead of using money as currency, they use Time as their currency. Just like with society now, there exists the poor & the rich.
My husband & I watched this movie shortly after it came out & I’d watch it again, knowing I may have missed several key points. Did you watch it? What do you think of living in a society like this?

I can do without heavy metal. All the instruments playing & the singers don’t sing, they yell. Country music is another one along with rap music. Now granted, I do like some country songs but for the most part, I gravitate towards 80’s music. The era I grew up in. Music was different back then.
-
I like to unwind with a Variety puzzle book if it’s summertime or my Jigsaw puzzle in the wintertime. Sitting with my furbabies, petting them is quite relaxing & if I’ve been gone all day, they would have missed me so it’s a win-win situation.
-
I prefer routines, a set schedule myself. Have to know though that even a routine can have its set of adventure. Example, I take walks daily, that's routine. However, depending on where I go, I see different things. I may catch sight of a nest I didn't see in the last walk. This is also walking on our wooded acreage where I'm always finding new things but the same can be said walking in the city or suburbs.

This is certainly a tough one. I hate having both especially when they are together. That's the worst! When you have a sore throat & the coughing is making it so much more painful. To answer I will say I rather have a sore throat. Coughing keeps waking me up so I never get any sleep. Sore throat I found using honey or melting ice cubes helps tone down the pain, albeit temporarily.

Figure we bump this thread as it’s getting into the holiday season pretty soon. They'll start playing Christmas songs in stores very shortly. My favorite are the classics from Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer, Frosty the Snowman. Simple ones I remember in Christmas cartoons when I was a kid. Yet they are still playing every year!
-
Being hard or easy is individualized. Since the consensus says that most of the games are becoming too easy, I think the company should look into how to adapt for all levels. Most games I've played have different expertise levels. Beginner, Advanced, Intermediate. They should incorporate those so that a game can be enjoyed by all.

I’m older so we had the Atari version which included Donkey Kong, the original. While the graphics were different back then versus now, it was still a fun game to play & my family enjoyed it. Didn’t care for Donkey Kong Jr. Didn’t have the same feel. Never tried Donkey Kong Country.
-
I've always preferred Nintendo as the console, controllers, games tend to be more user-friendly. I would hope they continue to listen to their customers & keep making it that way. They need to find their own groove in the gaming world. People don't want the same ol' system that others have to offer. If they do a version of Switch, they have to really kick it up a notch to make it different.

Ever go rock climbing, even indoors? I haven't but I'd think it'd be interesting. I would try the indoors one first tho lol
I’m putting this under sports as it involves being athletic & having some fitness level to pull yourself up. There’s a place locally that has a Rock climbing wall but I never attempted it as it was always so crowded. Some have even gone so far as to build their own on their property.
I’m curious who all has done rock climbing at a center & who has graduated to rock climbing on actual cliffs. Or even vice versa! I know of a person who loves the thrill & adventure of climbing cliffs.

We've had both N64 & NES, I don't recall which we had first as it was so long ago now. We opted for a Nintendo System over Sega & other ones as they seemed to have better games, the controller was easier to handle, etc. Plus the support for Nintendo was more popular out there if you needed some help & guidance. Not to mention we loved a lot of the games they had to offer.
-
Who has been in one & what did you think of it? Did you do it for fun or actually get paid? I know of some people who get paid money for playing games. How much could you expect? Just a few bucks a month or a nice chunk of change? Are there particular games you prefer playing & others you would never again in a league?

The Ascent
in Xbox
The Ascent is a cyberpunk-themed action role-playing video game. Made for the Xbox series but also for Microsoft Windows. This reminds me a bit of the movie Robo-Cop with the way it looks & acts. I haven't played it as I prefer easy-going games. Is there any special tips & tricks to playing this game for others to know? What do you think about it? Is it just like other games or better?
-
I can honestly live without both. I rarely listen to music & only really watch TV or movies with my husband. But to answer, I will pick live without watching movies with my favorite star. Music can be different things & there are sometimes I like listening to comforting New Age songs that are relaxing to the mind & body.
-
I don't believe it's easy money. A lot of casinos are rigged & the cash payouts are only at certain times to make it 'look like' they have winners. You can't beat the system. Plus, if someone gambles too much & too long, it becomes an addiction which is harder to control. There goes any profits when it's not about the money anymore, it's about feeding that drive, that urge to continue on no matter what.

A tough one for me. There’d have to be rules lol For a flying carpet, a way to stay on it so I don’t fall off. It’d also be nice to drive underwater, see all the sea creatures, but I’d want to be sure it’d be 100% leakproof! I think I’ll choose flying carpet. If nothing else, I’ll tie myself to it lol
-
For sports, I prefer to play the game. I like exercise so to me it's a good way to keep fit. Even though I may not be athletic, it's still good for learning some new skills.
For games, also, prefer to play the game. Nothing like being a back-seat driver & telling the gamer what to do lol

I’ve never watched the Paralympics but I’m also not into sports so don’t really watch the Olympics either. Interesting information about this. It started for British WW2 veterans who had spinal cord injuries in England. Developed after Sir Ludwig Guttmann. I never realized this has been going on for so long!

Al Yankovic
in Music
Unless it’s because I don’t listen to music like I used to, I don’t hear much about him anymore. I remember him being big in the 80’s doing parodies of a lot of Michael Jackson’s songs. “Eat it” & “Fat” were quite funny! He certainly has a knack for taking songs & twisting them into being something fun.
-
I don't understand it either. It's hard to find the real lyrics sometimes as many have edited versions. Unfortunately, it's the platform, here, Youtube, that can make the rules even if it's not fair. But to me, if they edit lyrics, isn't that against copyright laws? Youtube has gotten out of hand with their 'editing'. It's no longer about YOU.
Do you play video games together with your children/relatives?

When I was young, we had Atari & my mom & I would play games together or alternate at least. Later on, when my husband & I bought Nintendo, we'd play against each other in some games that allowed it. Otherwise we too would switch who's turn it is.
