Would you rather not eat or drink for a day?
The Blackangel replied to killamch89's topic in General Chat
Considering the time I was homeless, I've gone for multiple days without food. Hell I still do it now. But I have to have fluids. Soda is my preferred option. If I don't have something to drink, you will have one unhappy bitch. -
I suffered from insomnia for years. Decades actually. I have gone up to two weeks without any actual sleep. Just micro sleeps. 15 minutes here, 20 minutes there. Afterwards when my body finally gave out I would usually sleep 30+ hours straight without waking up even once. That shit is pure hell. So I would choose to sleep all through life in a heartbeat, without hesitation. I'm on Ambien now, and take a melatonin as well. The melatonin knocks me out, and the Ambien keeps me out. It's the only way I'm able to sleep.

Soap isn't a requirement to bathe. Water is all you need. For toilet paper, you never said we couldn't use paper towels, napkins, or tissues. Also you didn't say we couldn't use regular towels or washcloths and just toss them in the washer afterwards. That's pretty gross however. That said, I would give up the toilet paper as there are tons of options.

You are given the opportunity to create and direct a feature film. The studio offers you a huge budget, provides you with a top-notch writing and technical staff, and allows you to cast whomever you desire in the lead roles. There are essentially no limitations on what this movie can be - except two. The movie you make has to fulfill the following criteria: It has to be extremely edgy and transgressive. You need to confront taboo social issues. You need to shock people. Ideally, the film will address ideas that have never been tackled by mainstream filmmakers. In fact, if this movie is not the most controversial film of the year, the studio will probably not release it. However: It has to get a PG rating. It cannot be R or even PG-13. There may be limited profanity, minor depictions of violence, and fleeting nudity, but nothing that would prompt the ratings board to go beyond the PG classification. What is the premise and plot of your hypothetical movie?

Your best friend is taking a nap on the floor of your living room. Suddenly, you are faced with a bizarre existential problem: He/She is going to die unless you kick this slumbering friend, as hard as you can, in the rib cage. If you don't do this, he/she/ will never wake up. However, you can never explain your actions; if you later inform your friend that you did this to save his/her life, your friend will die from that. So you have to kick a sleeping friend in the ribs, and you can't explain why. Since you cannot tell your friend the truth, what excuse will you fabricate to explain this (seemingly inexplicable) attack?

Would you rather cry from your mouth or talk out of your nose?
The Blackangel replied to killamch89's topic in General Chat
Anyone who has ever had a cold has talked out of their nose. I've tasted my own tears from them running down my cheeks and eventually into my mouth. Way too salty. But I don't want to sound like Fran Drescher or Lois Griffin either. This one is a damn hard choice. I'm thinking I would have to talk out of my nose. -

Ok, I'm withdrawing from this conversation, because I don't see factual statements being accepted any time in the future on this subject. -
Emulators on consoles, should they be allowed?
The Blackangel replied to Kane99's topic in Gaming Forum
On that point I have always wondered about ROM-Hacks. Where is the legal standing on them? For example I own three Zelda ROM-Hacks. Goddess Of Wisdom, Parallel Worlds, and Ancient Stone Tablets. They're fan made games, but they're basically Zelda spinoffs like Majoras Mask or Minish Cap. Also they have the Nintendo seal of approval on the labels. For example here's a couple pics of Parallel Worlds and Goddess Of Wisdom. -
I actually got 3 AC games (PS3) at GameStop for a grand total of $1.78. They weren't in any kind of bundle. They were being sold individually. So I snatched them up. And I was able to pay for them with exact change that was just floating around in my purse. Seven quarters and three pennies. Boom, here's your receipt, enjoy your games. Typically I only use my PS3 to play PS1 games, but I like having the option. I haven't played PS2 in a couple decades, so I see no reason to even hook one up.

What makes you laugh uncontrollably while gaming?
The Blackangel replied to StaceyPowers's topic in Gaming Forum
Very true. But it can get annoying, not only to others but yourself as well, if that's the only talking point a person has. Especially if it's the only thing they talk about. I need to get back to raving about the classic games I play as well as RDR2. -
Dry Ice is frozen carbon dioxide. It's mainly used by the shipping industry to ship things that have to be kept cold because it lasts longer than ice, and is cheaper than a refrigeration truck that generates its own freezer. A lot of people use it on Halloween. They put it in a cheap little cauldron and let it flow out over their yards to try to give it a more spooky atmosphere. Then the next day, the drunk bastards wonder why there are 50 dead birds in their yard and the grass is greener than it has ever been. Reminds me of my dumbass sperm donor. He used to smoke while putting gas in the car. And every summer he could never figure out why he had no eyebrows and his hairline was receding.

We were going to take a cruise next year (fall 2022) that departed from Seattle, went down through the Panama Canal, and back up to either Miami, New Orleans, or Houston. But with the Delta variant running everyone over, we decided to postpone the cruise until shit is done and over with. We don't want to be in such a tight space if someone comes down with it or another variant. There's no hope from there, everyone is going to get it, and we'll be quarantined on the fucking boat for who the hell knows how damn long. We're still going to take the same cruise, but not for several years. We're waiting on the "All Clear" from Covid.

Games being from the American perspective is something that has bugged me for years. Yes, I'm an American. Yes, I love gaming. But America is not the epicenter of the gaming world. There are gamers all over the world, some countries much smaller have a higher ratio of gamers. There are countries roughly the size of Missouri, or that would even fit inside of Missouri, that have a higher gamer ratio than the US. So why the hell is everything from the American perspective? @Shagger pointed it out perfectly. There were others involved in the liberation of most of Europe. My grandfather was part of the American regimen that helped liberate Auschwitz. He earned 5 bronze stars doing it. But he was right there beside shoulder to shoulder with British soldiers when all was said and done. So why isn't there a game like that that is straight from a British, or any European perspective? Games just seem to cater more to the American market than any other when I sit back and look at it with the realistic games. I don't know of any other countries that lived the way we did in 1899, which was portrayed perfectly in RDR2. -

Worst thing you ever did to someone in a game?
The Blackangel replied to StaceyPowers's topic in Gaming Forum
When did I say that I quit haunting him? -
Does anyone else hate this? There's a minor glitch in RDR2 that happens all the time, and while it doesn't affect the game play at all, it still drives me nuts. I took a couple videos of it, and uploaded them to my channel. Not the gaming channel that I'm working on getting up, as I still haven't found someone to create a banner for it. I have them set to private, but here they are.

I was actually the one who was bullied,but he just pissed me off to the point that I wasn't going to take anymore of his shit, and wanted to make sure he got it that I wasn't a girl he wanted to fuck with. -
Games that are harder on console (or PC)?
The Blackangel replied to StaceyPowers's topic in Gaming Forum
It just hit me that Xbox is owned by Microsoft, which I completely forgot. So it's not all that big of a leap to take an Xbox exclusive game and put it on PC as well, since the own the patent on both. -

What games are most relevant to our times?
The Blackangel replied to StaceyPowers's topic in Gaming Forum
The games I play never really encountered reality. I can't think of a single one on NES, SNES, or N64 that ever encountered reality with the exception of sports games and sims games. Just as a note, to me a sports game includes any form of car driving/racing game. Games based off TV and movies (Bond 007, Jeopardy, etc.) don't count. But to get back to my original point, I would have to try hard as hell, and do a lot of searching to find myself one game that even remotely seemed to relate to the human world or modern world in any way from any of those 3 systems. It would be fun, and interesting to do, but I know there are none in my library, with the exception of snowboarding games. -
A mullet would definitely be interesting to see on a basketball player. They would catch more hell than the average person would think from their team for it. But It would be interesting. If one of my boys on the Red Wings had one, I would get a hell of a kick out of it. He wants long hair but has to be able to keep it out of his eyes. Problem solved! 🤣

Something funny like that happens in RDR2. When you kill a muskrat, it sounds like a woman having an orgasm. The first time I heard it, I was sure it was a glitch. So I found a few more, and knew right away that it was scripted. That's when I started laughing. I need to shut up about RDR2. It's starting to get to the point that it's the only game I talk about.
