Kyng got a reaction from killamch89 in What sport do you think deserves a spot in the Olympics?
Procrastination... then I'd get a gold medal 😛 .

Kyng got a reaction from Family sedan in Which Video Games Have You Bought Several Times?
LEGO Racers and LEGO Rock Raiders are the only ones that come to mind. I bought them twice each, because the originals just wouldn't work on our Windows XP machine!

Some 1D Pac-Man game:

Despite the apparent simplicity, I'm finding it rather difficult!

Kyng got a reaction from Knight Plug in New Jurassic Park Movie
Yeah, TBH I think they should just stop - especially since the most recent films haven't been too well-received. There are only so many times you can make the same film over and over!

Kyng got a reaction from The Blackangel in Do you like the snow?
It's nice provided I don't have to drive in it 😛 .
As a child, I used to enjoy building snowmen and throwing snowballs - but these days, I prefer to stay inside and admire the snow!

Kyng got a reaction from Shortie in Did you ever play Frogger?
Nor can I - although, I wouldn't have gone into any arcades until the early 2000s, by which point Frogger wasn't exactly cutting-edge 😛 .
-
Kyng got a reaction from Shortie in Did you ever play Frogger?
Not in an arcade, but I did play browser-based versions.
Was quite good fun, but I was never much good at it!

Kyng got a reaction from Shortie in Imagine your favorite games developed in a different genre
[i]FTL: Faster than Light[/i] as an RPG might be quite fun... trying to get by with limited resources, whilst facing onslaughts from hostile enemy ships, it'd be pretty tense!

Banished.
Re-installed this after a few months away, and started a new game on the highest difficulty settings. I didn't build enough houses for my people before winter - and then, they all just froze to death.
Maybe I should try on a slightly lower difficulty next time!

Kyng got a reaction from ImmersionGaming22 in Can video games be a good distraction when going through a traumatic time in your life?? :(
Yeah, definitely. I find they can be very immersive, and thus have high 'escapement value' from real life - especially if they're fantasy-themed!
Although, I suppose one disadvantage is that, once the traumatic time is over, I might grow to associate the game with the traumatic time. (For example, one thing that dampens my enjoyment of Transport Fever is that it was my main lockdown game!)

Kyng reacted to killamch89 in Songs You Remember From Your Childhood
My mom used to listen to this song all the time - I can't believe I didn't remember it until just now. I need to go download this and add it to my classics.

Kyng got a reaction from killamch89 in Songs You Remember From Your Childhood
This song pre-dates me by some 21 years (it was released in 1969, whereas I was born in 1990) - but, I did listen to it a lot as a kid!
-
Kyng got a reaction from Shagger in Last Game Played
Yeah, pretty much. Most games start in 1850, and I usually play them through to 2025 and then stop. (Theoretically, you could continue as long as you want - but since there are no new vehicles past the 2010s, there's no real reason to continue much beyond there!)
Anyway, the last game I played was The Sims 4.
-
Kyng got a reaction from Reality vs Adventure in Last Game Played
Yes, I do 🙂 . Not as much as I like Civilization V, but I do have some 600 hours on it, which I wouldn't have if I didn't like the game!
Anyway, the last thing I played was Civ VI yet again... I'm now at war with Sweden and Nubia, and I've captured a Nubian city. I'm having a hard time capturing any more, but I won't give up just yet!

Kyng got a reaction from Shortie in Would you rather eat a bowl of cereal with orange juice instead of milk or a sandwich with ketchup instead of mayo?
Yeah, the only time I've had cereal with orange juice was when I ran out of milk, and couldn't be bothered getting more before breakfast 😛 . It... wasn't nice.
I've never had ketchup on a sandwich, so I guess I'd take a chance on that 😛 .

Welcome aboard, Sean! I hope you enjoy this place 🙂 .

Kyng got a reaction from killamch89 in Morality Question - Is murder ever justified?
If someone was trying to rape a female family member, and the only way I could stop them would be by killing the would-be rapist... I would do it in a heartbeat.
However, I do not believe that killing them would be a good thing to do, or even an okay thing to do. I just believe it would be a necessary thing to do.
The defence rests entirely on the fact that it's the only way to stop an innocent person from coming to serious harm. If there was some other, non-lethal, means of achieving the same result, then I would be morally obliged to use the non-lethal means instead. A necessary evil, without the necessity, just becomes plain evil.

Kyng got a reaction from Shortie in How much space is left on your consoles/HD's?
Right now, my laptop has 684GB of space remaining. But you'd expect it to have a lot, since I've had it for less than a month 😛 !
-
Kyng got a reaction from killamch89 in If you could add one absurd or hilarious feature to your smartphone, what would it be?
I'd add the ability to read punched cards, just so that nobody can ever complain about lack of backward-compatibility ever again 😛 .

Kyng got a reaction from Shortie in Hogwarts Legacy
Well, I just bought the game... but it's taking 5 hours to download. Looks like I'm not gonna get to play it tonight!
I'll let you guys know what I think of the game once I get to play it 🙂 .

Kyng got a reaction from Shortie in Video Game Live Streaming on TikTok
It just seems like a weird concept to me... when people think of TikTok, they think of short-form content, so why would you go there to look for livestreams?
Pretty much the only advantage of using TikTok is that it has a large built-in audience.

Kyng got a reaction from Shortie in Would you have wanted a true successor to the Dreamcast instead?
Maybe. I had a second-hand Dreamcast as a child, but after Sega pulled out of that business, I just went back to PC gaming and never looked back.
If there was a true successor to the Dreamcast, then I may well have got it and stuck with console gaming!

Kyng reacted to killamch89 in Have you ever speed run a game?
Same - I love to explore the environments in videogames. Fool around with stuff here and there - Speedrunning is just not my forte.
