I don’t mean romantically. Just an NPC whom you love running into. Someone you have to get lucky enough to run into, or someone who you know exactly where to go to find them. For me it’s William in RDR2. The herb guy who asks you for different plants when you see him. I’m not exactly sure why, but I love that guy. You give him plants and he gives you a tonic that has that plant in it. The tonic has nothing to do with why I love him. Right now I’m building up my currant stock for the Herbalist 7 challenge. And currant is a bitch to find unless you already know where to look, and there’s not exactly a lot of it. Also, it regrows extremely slowly and i need 30 for this challenge. But he asked for currant, so I gave him currant.
Like I said. I don’t know why, but I absolutely LOVE William.

Breakfast is a meal unfortunately.
Yes it is a meal, but how often do you eat eggs, grits, toast, and bacon for lunch or supper?
What about biscuits and gravy? Waffles? Omelette?
If that’s your lunch or supper, I envy you.

I’ve gone sledding on tubes a lot. But I was always more partial to snowboarding instead. Tubing is fun because you have no control over it. It can easily go into a spin and go off the path.

People tend to think Mercury is the hottest planet in our solar system, but they’re wrong. Venus is the hottest planet due to a runaway greenhouse effect. Russia managed to land a probe on Venus that was able to and send a couple pics before it was destroyed by the Venusian atmosphere. The pressure is just short of being able to crush carbon into diamonds. It rains sulfuric acid, and the average temperature is 867°F (464°C). A day on Venus is longer than a year. It takes Venus longer to rotate once on its axis than to complete one orbit of the Sun. That's 243 Earth days to rotate once – the longest rotation of any planet in the Solar System – and only 224.7 Earth days to complete an orbit of the Sun. Although all planetary orbits are elliptical, Venus's orbit is currently the closest to circular, with an eccentricity of less than 0.01. Venus is unusual because it spins the opposite direction of Earth and most other planets. And its rotation is very slow. As already stated, it takes about 243 Earth days to spin around just once. Because it's so close to the Sun, a year goes by fast.
The outer planets, Neptune and Uranus, are not just gas giants, but ice giants. Im going to focus on Neptune for a minute. Neptune has the most extreme weather in our solar system, with giant storms, high winds, and constantly changing clouds. The innermost regions of Neptune's mantle may have temperatures of 12,140°F (6,727°C) and pressures 6 million times that of Earth's atmosphere. At these conditions, methane may decompose into diamond crystals that rain down like hailstones. Neptune's average temperature is -353°F (-214°C).
Uranus is different from all the other planets because it orbits the sun on its side. Uranus is the coldest planet in our solar system, with a mean temperature of -320°F (-195°C). Uranus is tilted on its axis by 98 degrees, which makes it appear to spin sideways. Scientists believe a large object knocked Uranus on its side long ago.
Pluto isn’t the only dwarf planet in our solar system. In the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter is an asteroid that is large enough that it’s rounded and qualifies as a dwarf planet. Its name is Ceres.
Should I continue, or does this satisfy the question?😈

It depends what I’m shopping for. Some things are ONLY available online. Like some of the shirts I have are pro-pitbull. Pitbulls are the greatest breed on earth. But they’re the most popular candidate for “boogeyman” in the dog world.
But if I’m shopping for poptarts, then I’ll just go to the goddamn store.

Does breakfast food count?
if not, then this is a hard question to answer. I honestly can’t decide. I love Mexican, Chinese, and Italian. Sushi is good on occasion but not something I start salivating over.
I thought about it for a fews minutes while writing this, and my answer has to be breakfast.

I moved this topic to general discussion, because you mentioned painters as options. Thus, it opens the discussion to any kind of artist. Not just musicians.
To answer the question at hand, sometimes writers still want to write, but want to distance themselves from previous works, for different reasons. Or they want to write something different from their previous works. So they adopt a pen name. For example, Stephen king sometimes uses the pen name Richard Bachman. Anne Rice uses the pen name A.N. Roquelaure. Sometimes writers and authors don’t like something about a work they previously published so they don’t want their new work to be associated with it.
Since this was posted in music, I’ll answer on musicians. Sometimes an artist is in a band, and then chooses to go solo. Or they get fired from a band and then continue with music solo. Take Ozzy Osbourne for example. He was fired from Black Sabbath, for good reason I may add, and then continued performing solo and released some of his best work as a singer. Mama I’m Coming Home is one of my absolute favorite songs.
You mentioned painters so I’ll respond to that too. Michaelangelo wasn’t particularly fond of painting, but when the pope commissioned him, he agreed to paint the Sistine Chapel ceiling. His real passion was sculpting. Granted he is best known for the statue of David moreso than the Sistine Chapel. Aside from simply enjoying it more, he also used sculpture to move away from painting.
So sometimes, reinventing one’s self is a good thing. Other times it’s completely pointless. It all depends on the reason.

When he was little, Haley Joel Osment impressed me. The range of roles he was able to play was amazing for a child. His most iconic role is obviously The 6th Sense, but he was also able to do sitcoms. He was in the first season of The Jeff Foxworthy Show. If he’s able to pull off that kind of range before puberty, he was headed for one hell of a successful career. Unfortunately I’ve only seen him n a couple voice over roles since he grew up.

AvP
9/10
I would have ranked it at 10/10, but it just starts off so damn slow.

What are your favorite black and death metal songs? There’s some really awesome bands in both subgenres. So I’ll cut to the chase. Post your favorites.

There’s a few that I really like. Disturbed has done s few, and just rocked it. For example, Remnants flows into Asylum so perfectly that seems as if Asylum just has a long intro.
Remnants is one of two instruments that I really like. Remnants obviously. The other one is God Bless The Children Of The Beast by Mötley Crüe
Here’s Remnants.
Here’s God Bless The Children Of The Beast.

There’s tons of fan made videos on YouTube. We all know that. But have you ever made a music video? It doesn’t matter what kind of music it is or what the song is. I’ve made a lot of videos over the years, but only one music video. If you’ve made one, lets see it. Here’s the one I made.

The only thing they could try is performance capture. Try making Mario look real. That’s the only thing I can think of that they haven’t done yet. As far as hardware goes, I don’t see anything left they could do that would at least seem new. It would have to be one hell of a console. Otherwise, they’ve shot themselves in the foot.

It could be used to look at some of the deadliest diseases in the world to study them closer and from a safe distance. For example, either a digital view (like in Jurassic Park) or through a highly advanced robot that you can use a headset to see through its eyes and mechanical “gloves” to control it as if you right there in the death room.

An app that can cook me dinner would be my number one pick.

I didn’t know it could be hacked. But that’s a moot point as I have absolutely no clue C how to hack something. I wish I did, but I wouldn’t even know where to go to learn how.
As for how it affected me with gaming, it opened me up to new games that I didn’t know existed. GoW and vAC were newbies to me. So the PSP had a hell of an impact on gaming for me.

The only thing I can say for sure you can use in a new gaming PC build is HDD storage drives. Outside of that, every other component from older times is more or less obsolete. A big reason for that is requirements to run modern games acceptably is significantly higher anything any old PC can perform. It's one of those things that comes with PC gaming unfortunately.
It’s been determined that technology is moving so fast that computers and computer parts are obsolete six months before they hit the market.

Is it possible to build a new gaming PC out of an older regular PC and still keep some of the components in order to save money? I have several computers that are fairly old, and I’m wondering if they could offer a head start on the build. A google search didn’t turn up a damn thing answering my question. If this was the Windows 98 era I wouldn’t have to ask. But I haven’t done jack with computers since then except for normal use. You guys are a hell of a lot more educated on this than I am. So I wanted to get it straight from the horse’s mouth.

I haven't played Pneumata yet, but I’ll have to check it out now.
Here’s a post about it that I made back in February.

Have you seen the suicidal game that was once on Steam (name escapes me at the moment)? And that game didn't even get half the backlash that games like Manhunt and Mortal Kombat got in the 90s.
I can’t say that I have, but I also can’t say that I’m surprised that those games exist.

I’m not selling a damn thing unless the money offered is obscenely high. I’m talking no less than 7 digits. I have some games that I love, but are next to impossible to find. But no one is really looking for them either. So there aren’t a high number of authentic copies.

2024 has been the year of the remake. For this competition it was kinda to be expected.

I myself don’t play many first person games, but that’s not to say that I never play any. Hexen has been a long time favorite of mine. If you’re not familiar with it, it’s Doom, but medieval/fantasy style. Other games that have the option of first or third, I have to play it third. I just can’t really see anything in first person, which is why I don’t play a lot of them. However I did recently pick a new one up. I preordered Pneumata. It’s a first person game, and honestly, IT’S FREAKING AWESOME! I’ve heard some say it’s Layers Of Fear meets TLOU. I have no idea since I can’t play TLOU, but so far I’ve come across nothing that would be a trigger.
I’m starting to warm up to first person. It seems the market is really warming up to it too. The only thing that prevents me from really diving in is the ability to see my surroundings. If it wasn’t for that, I’d probably have a lot more first person games in my library.
If you’re wondering about how @Rain Dew feels about first person, she can’t and won’t play them. She played a dinosaur game (probably JP. I’d have to ask) that was first person when she was a kid that gave her nightmares. She often got attacked by velociraptors from behind and it absolutely terrified her. So now, and rightly so, she will have nothing to do with first person. I would say my favorite first person game is Layers Of Fear: Legacy. I would love to know what your favorite is and why as well.

Both PS5’s are fully capable of getting your games digitally. But the disc version gives you a more expansive range of games. Yes it is on average $100 more expensive on store shelves. I bought mine straight from playstation.com and it was only $500 and came with Horizon Forbidden West pre installed. I wanted to get a PS5 with GoW, but they were sold out when I got in the queue. However, from what I understand, HFW is an amazing game. I’ve just never gotten around to actually playing it. So I don’t know yet. If I’m not playing RDR2, I’m typically playing something in the Dark Pictures Anthology. So I just haven’t played it yet.
Do your personal morals impact your performance in games?

My personal morals definitely impact my gaming. I’ll focus on RDR2 as that one is the best one to explain exactly what I mean.
I would NEVER willingly harm a rat. There’s a long story behind that, which I’m not getting into. I have accidentally trampled them in my horse, and having hurt one, I want to cry.
Another moral applies directly to who I’m playing as. When I’m Arthur, I always accept the woman’s offer to assist me when I take a bath. As John however, since he has a family, I will never accept. I absolutely hate cheaters in romantic relationships. I would advocate for then to be tied up and beaten with a barbed cat-o-nine-tails. One lashing for each proven experience of adultery. Every time they met is a lashing. If they actually had sex, that’s an extra 20 lashings. If they die from the lashings, oh well. Good riddance.
Rather than buying a horse, I prefer to catch and tame wild horses. And I know exactly where to find almost every breed. Including rare ones like the Arabian (red chestnut, warped brindle, white), and Andalusian (perlino). Kentucky Saddlers and Tennessee Walkers are everywhere obviously.
So my morals directly have an impact on my gaming experiences.
What about you?
