I believe money does truly make us happy. Without it you can't survive unless you live remotely and know how to hunt for your food. It'd be nice to not have to work for 40 hours to make a living, I watch train hoppers on Youtube and they're living life to the fullest IMO since they get to travel the country for free and live free. But they still need to earn some money in order to keep living that lifestyle.

Either the Genesis or Master System. I know the inner workings of the Master System more than the Genesis. I mod the 8-bit Sonic games on the Master System, but to be honest with you I do better modifying existing code rather than writing code from scratch. Fun thing is about the Master System, there is a C compiler so you don't have to write your code in z80 assembler if you don't want to!

My best friend growing up would rage at video games. I do too unfortunately, and I feel like I learned it from him. Anyways back then I would just look at him in disbelief, I even witnessed him breaking a game in front of me because he got mad at it. His mom came in and told me to go home because he got in trouble for breaking his copy of Street Fighter Championship Edition on the Genesis. I never broke a game nor console before, I almost did break a controller when I was a kid. These days I don't throw things or try to break things when I lose at a game, I will vocally express how I feel and maybe rage quit but that's it.

No I don't think religion should coexist with politics. Many people in the United States forget that there's separation of church and state. This is why I will never vote Republican, their beliefs align more with Christianity which I don't follow nor believe in.

I'm debating on if I want to go with the iPhone SE 3rd generation, iPhone 12 or switch back to Android and get the Moto g power 5G 2024 which might be free since I have Total by Verizon. I will need to do more research however, and I won't be able to switch until I get paid again.

I'm definitely more into classic rock from the 80's. I like some songs from the 70's and 90's as well but the 80's made Def Leppard, Queen, Iron Maiden, Ozzy, and more very popular. I also have to bring up Bon Jovi, who was mentioned a few times in the thread already.

Most of the games I play are older. Lately I've been playing Doom 64, it was ported to the Xbox One in 2019 and I've been playing it on my Series S. Prior to this I played through Doom 1 and 2 on the Xbox as well. I often go back and play games from my childhood as well, I've been slowly playing Digimon World 3 using just rookie digimon for my Youtube channel.

I used to wear socks with sandals when I was a kid lol. I see people do this all the time here in my state and it doesn't really bother me much to be honest with you. It bothers my wife more than anyone I know though lol.

I try my hardest to just focus on one game at a time, but most of the time I will pick up a game then put it down and pick up another. Honestly this is why I have such a huge backlog of games and I even own games I've never played in my collection. Right now I'm trying to just focus on beating Doom 64 before I pick up another game.

Once games go all digital, I'm done with modern gaming. I will only get new Sonic and Pokemon titles as they're my favorite gaming franchises. I know it happened with PC games already, but that's one of the reasons why I'm more of a console gamer. I prefer physical copies, not only do they look great on a shelf you actually own those games as well so if they ever get delisted you can just easily pop them into your disc drive and play them! Xbox will definitely be going all digital after this generation I can see that.

I'm curious to hear how you all beat the heat. It's currently the summertime here in the Northern Hemisphere and with August fast approaching, it can get super hot where I live in this month. If I have to go outside, I try to stay in the shade or go swimming. However when I'm at home I stay inside most of the time but I work in a hot factory unfortunately and it gets super hot in the building. Plus I work in a area that welds parts so it gets even hotter. I just keep hydrated and stay in a fan as much as I possibly can to cool off.

I still want to get a copy of Sonic Free Riders. I have a Kinect, I got it with my Xbox 360 E I bought a few years ago. I've never played this game and being a die hard Sonic fan I would love to own every game I possibly can in the franchise. Also I've seen ghost hunters use the Kinect camera to pick up abnormalities.

I've done this with Teen Titans. I still would love to own the original Xbox version of the game, but I have the Gamecube and PS2 versions. They're virtually identical except for the fact that the PS2 graphics aren't as good as the Gamecube nor the Xbox versions. Teen Titans is my favorite animated series and I think it'd be cool to own all the console and handheld games. I still need to replace my copy of the sequel for the GBA as well... Also with Spyro Year of the Dragon, you need to get the greatest hits version of the game to be able to play the game in full. I believe there's a game breaking bug in the non greatest hits version and same with Turok Rage Wars on the N64. If you have the black cartridge version of that game, you can't beat it. I unfortunately have this version so I'll never be able to beat the game...

Remember back in the day when electronics had transparent shells so you could look at the internals of a gadget? I miss those days, now you can still get third party controllers for game consoles that have clear shells which is super cool. You can get third party shells for certain consoles too like the Switch so you can relive the glory days of when electronic shells looked cool. I hate that most things are just boring solid colors these days. I know prisons have clear electronics but that's to make sure the prisoners aren't smuggling in things lol.

I'm a terrible sore loser. I've always been since I was a kid, and I was way worse back then though. I used to throw game pieces if I lost a board game, and I almost broke game controllers as a kid too. I'm not as bad as I was, but I still hate losing. It's something I probably should work on, but I don't know if I ever will to be honest with you.
