The Blackangel

Sometimes. Once in a while I like to sit back and watch @Rain Dew play. Especially if she's playing RDR2. I have always enjoyed watching her play that. I've played it infinitely more than she has at this point, but I still like watching her play. Once in a while she enjoys watching me play, but not as much as I enjoy watching her.

You have both?!

Here soon I will be on my second. I would still be on my first if our fucking dog hadn't decided that it was a chew toy.

That's a frightening thought. But there are better and easier ways to make money. For example you could eat dog shit for a quarter. You could walk up to the UN and piss on their front door for a nickle. You could hold down your top government official (president, king/queen, prime minister, etc.) sit on their head and fart on their face for a dollar. Or you could go on a hunger strike for a dollar a day just to see how long you could go until you gave in or died. Better yet, you could kidnap these idiots that keep coming up with this shit and throw them in a pit that will never be found. I will give you everything I own, and my undying love for that one. But only if it permanently ends this epidemic. Please, someone hack the military database and drop an ICBM on my head.

I wish Mario's Planet Quest had actually been released. Being an astronomy nut (or astronophile as I call myself) that game would easily have made my top ten. Most likely my top 5 or even top 3. And to the uneducated, don't get your panties in a twist about the "phile" part. "Phile" is simply an extension that can be added to any word to denote fondness. I'm sure everyone here is an oxygenphile, or foodphile.

I put some of those puffy stickers that were popular at the time on my first Nintendo. They were all NES related. SMB and TLOZ mainly. I've thought about painting some of my systems but haven't done it yet. I've found a guy who makes fully functional wooden Nintendo systems. I've thought about buying one just for the novelty.

If and when @DC and @Shagger feel they need an extra hand they'll discuss it and make a choice. But from what I can see, they have things well under control. Unless that changes however, I don't see a second mod any time in the near future.

Valid points, but all those labels are based on a 2000 calorie diet. I don't know of anyone who limits what they eat to 2000 calories per day. That's next to impossible unless you're vegetarian or vegan. 2000 calories won't keep a person going. The adult human body needs more than that to keep up with daily life. Unless they live an entirely sedentary life, there's no way 2000 calories will suffice.

Hitler was none of that. He was never able to successfully win a campaign. He would send the nazis into battle, and when they were on the brink of victory, he would order a retreat. He was an idiot when it came to warfare, despite having fought in WW1. If you want someone to think about along those lines, Genghis Khan would be a much better choice. As for me, I would pick some uncaught serial killers and use them as assassins. Mainly, the one that I truly admire. The Zodiac Killer. He was pure genius. Jack the Ripper would be up there, as well as Spring Heeled Jack. Maybe DB Cooper could fit the bill. The Bone Collector could be another. Another would be whoever, or whatever, killed Elisa Lam.

Being on disability, I will say right now that if it wasn't for food stamps, I would be back to dumpster diving for food again. My disability check barely covers bills, and leaves little to nothing for food. So I don't have much of a choice but to buy the unhealthy stuff that's overloaded with fats and sugars, just so I can put something in my stomach. The government doesn't care though. They make a move when the general public gets their panties in a twist, but otherwise ignore most issues like this.

Also if they say they will only meet in a public place, how will we even know if it works or not? Don't get me wrong, meeting in public is a smart way to go about it. But there's no way to prove whether the damn thing even works or not going about it that way. With wait lists, I'm on a couple to be notified when one becomes available. I'm happy with my PS4 and Xbox One at the moment, but @Rain Dew desperately wants both a PS5 and an Xbox Series X. But I'm 98% strictly classic gamer anyway, so it matters little to nothing to me if/when they become easily available.

Pretty much any movie store is bound to have it. You can also buy it on eBay or possibly even Amazon. It's not expensive at all.

In my opinion, people joining is always great, but it's a moot point if they don't participate. One active account is better then 10 inactive accounts. But that's just my view.

That was a disaster.

Actually, The Dark Crystal is a movie. It's an 80's movie using muppets and created by Jim Henson. It's almost as old as I am. Another of Jim Henson's more notable films along the same lines from the 80's is Labyrinth. If you haven't seen either one, I highly recommend seeing them. they're both amazing must-have's for any fantasy nut. Or non-millenials wanting to reconnect with their inner child.

Does it count if I hogtie them, pin their eyes open, and make them post using their tongue?

I don't think they should, but I don't know their politics. It's my belief that it's not the governments place to tell people what they can and can not do with their own bodies. As long as it doesn't affect others, then do with your body whatever you want. Put harmful chemicals in it. Become a vegan. Get your dick tattooed to look like the space shuttle. The government shouldn't have a say in whether you can do any of that or not. I'm not a smoker, as I find it absolutely disgusting, but the vast majority of people here are. The economy of the US would collapse if smoking was completely banned. But this also opens the door to other things like heroin, cocaine, and meth. There were places called "drug dens" in the 19th century that were specifically for a person to go to and get whacked out of this world. They obviously don't exist anymore, but I've heard people saying that we should bring them back. I'm not sure where I stand on that one, but the tobacco market is big money. This ban could also lead to smuggling and black market deals at the worst scenario. But those wanting cigarettes may just find a way to somewhere else to pick some up. I don't know the geography down there (physical or political) but I'm sure there would be someplace easy to get to that's willing to ignore the ban.

That's not entirely true. Younger girls (typically 10 and younger) are still grossed out by boys. Heterosexual desire typically doesn't really hit us until puberty. Whereas it's been my observation that boys are just obsessed with tits their whole lives. Granted I knew some girls who stayed wet and you could hear them squish when they walked. I also knew some that were prudish as hell. The same goes for guys that I knew. Some were rock hard 24/7. Others wouldn't give a girl the time of day if she had any sexual intent. But in the general run of things, we're less concerned with it. That doesn't mean we're never horny. If we weren't, vibrators wouldn't exist. But we're just more picky. That however goes into biology. The male brain (regardless of what species the animal is) is hard wired to spread its seed as far and wide as possible, thus leading it to seek out as many mates as possible. The female brain, is hard wired to seek out the mate with the best and most desirable traits. Which is why guys will typically fuck any woman they meet, and women typically won't put out unless she has genuine interest. Or he looks like Brad Pitt. Not my type, but whatever. Granted, some animals are monogamous and stay with the same mate their entire lives (eagles, beavers, etc.) but those species are few and far between.

For the love of all things holy or unholy, I don't care which, some one please make it stop. How the hell did we end up here? How has gaming fallen so far that tiddlywinks is much more riveting than anything digital? I don't care how awesome a game is or how popular it is, this kind of shit drags it down into the much by the sole association of being a video game. Crack is not your friend, but alcohol is about to be. Kill me now, please.

One of my favorite games, that is internationally banned in many countries is Hatred, and it sells on Steam for $5.99 USD (€5.30 - £4.53). So it's easy enough for a kid with a $5 per week allowance to get. Anyone can scoop up an extra dollar easily. Sure you need a card of some kind, but in reality how many kids do you know who don't have a debit card these days. Yeah their parents tell them it's only for food and/or emergencies. But do you really think a kid is going to abide by that? I remember when I was a kid, time outs weren't a thing. Did anyone else have to cut their own switch? Personally, I had to fetch my own 2x4, but that's another discussion. Kids will find a way to these games when they're released on digital services like Steam. That's a hard place to keep under lockdown. Especially boys. At a young age boys are already obsessed with boobs. So any game advertising sexual content has them drawn in before they know what the game is. Even if it's one scene in an open world game. If it has over the top violence, a lot of young boys are gung-ho for that one as well. Boys have some odd interests at young ages. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. But then again, what girls are interested in probably doesn't make a whole lot of sense to guys either. LMAO

When Watching Grass Grow Simulator is released, that is the day I officially quit gaming for good, and throw every game and console I own in the trash. And if some asshole is working on development on that one, well..... .....One of us ain't coming out of that one intact.

It already looks to have a lot more combative action than its predecessor. It's on my wish list for games that will be hopefully released sometime in 2022. Or in 2023. Either way I'm looking forward to it.

Funds aside, it's an ethics thing for me. I don't care how rich I am. If I was shitting quarters and wiping my ass with hundreds, I still wouldn't buy from a scalper. I don't care if they're selling it for $1 or $1,000. I'm not doing it. I don't care what you or the next person do. But for me, it's just not happening.

RDR2 is somewhat like that. It shows you where you need to go eventually if you want to advance the story, but otherwise you're not required to do a damn bit of it.

I feel like true fantasy games are long gone. Sure, we still have Zelda and sparse others. The problem is that they are nothing compared to what they used to be. Something that's a true wizards and warriors style game. The so called "fantasy" games we have now are a joke.
