  1. Yeah, but then you would be the notorious asshole that was letting people go for a game not meet expectations within the company. Just because it doesn't do well with the gamers isn't always the fault of the developers. The game could just not be very popular, and flop for that reason. That's no fault of the developers if they busted their asses to make the game.
  2. There's an asshole in every demographic and group, and it doesn't matter what that classification is. Literally everywhere you go, there is a minimum of one asshole in that group.
  3. I never liked green tea, but black tea is where I'm at.
  4. The statement was made by a comedian (I don't remember who) that we should make politicians wear jackets with all the companies that are backing them during elections. I'll add at least once a month to that.
  5. That is mostly due to inflation and simple greed. When it came out a new NES was $150. As the American dollar drops in value year by year, the prices will continue to go up. Other countries and economies see it going for more here, and think "If they can get that much, why shouldn't we be able to?" so they in turn charge more. I remember when a soda was 25¢ in vending machines. You'll be lucky to find one that is below $2 now. And there are a lot of countries that don't even take the American dollar anymore, simply due to how worthless it has gotten. It was proposed a couple years ago that Canada, US, and Mexico adopt a currency modeled after the Euro. But was eventually decided that it would tank the economy or something. I don't remember the actual reason. Personally, I like the idea. But I don't know jack shit about economics, so I don't know if it's a good one. Or even plausible.
  6. You're more advanced than I am. I know a few key phrases, and can identify a few words, but can't converse at all. The funny thing is that I can read Spanish 100 times better than I can speak it. I can normally follow whatever it is when it's written, but not always. For example when Javier is singing in RDR2, even though the words are on the screen, I have no clue what the lyrics are saying.
  7. You got it right. The way it's worded - morning, noon, evening - is what tends to throw people the most. But that's the point of a riddle. Tricky wording to trick your mind. And to lead to an answer that should be completely obvious. The only downside to the sphinx was that the penalty for getting the answer wrong was death.
  8. He got a little too excited. And I can't tell if his wife is trying not to laugh, or if she's totally embarrassed.
  9. Mine stay closed 100% of the time.
  10. True enough, but I guess nostalgia plays a factor for me here too.
  11. While I personally haven't seen it, there was the movie Pixels. Does that count? It had a lot of my favorite classics in it, I know that much.
  12. In RDR2, people can attack you for no reason whatsoever, or just take off running screaming, and you are the one that ends up with a god damn warrant. Also there have been times I watched other guys fight, and I was the one the cops fucking came after. I WASN'T EVEN INVOLVED IN IT. Another time, I've talked about this before, and NPC went flying all the way down the main street of Valentine, level with the rooftops, and I got a murder charge. He came from out of screen where I couldn't even see him. The camera wasn't facing where he came from. You blink, you have a $500 bounty.
  13. I would want to be somewhere on the creative side. Lend my imagination and possibly my voice (like I already do now) to the whole process.
  14. There's a lot of crafting in RDR2. You can craft all sorts of weapons, tonics, horse items, and cook different kinds of foods if you have the ingredients. You can also bring hides back to camp and have Pearson craft different items for you and for the camp itself.
  15. It only bothers me if I forgot something. Then I get pissed.
  16. Games (if they can even be called games) like Myst. There is no game in the software. There is nothing to do but look at pretty pictures.
  17. I play alone so the only one that I have to worry about raging is me.
  18. That we're never going to see any truly original games like we did in the NES era.
  19. It drives me absolutely nuts. It happens in RDR2 way too often. Fog is an issue so often, that I end up rage quitting sometimes rather than camping and waiting it out. Which honestly only takes a few seconds. But it still pisses me off.
  20. If I'm using the keyboard and mouse for a game on my PC, of which I rarely play, then I just stick with the preset controls. Also the W,A,S,D keys are red whereas the rest of the keys are black. It is after all, a gaming PC. So trying to use different keys would just screw me up.
  21. It's a sealed jug, just like you would keep in your fridge. And how long you leave it depends on how strong you like it. The darker the tea gets, the stronger it is.
  22. As someone who is part of the LGBTQ+ community, this doesn't surprise me. I think it was intentional, not a fuckup. I seriously believe that they did it to appeal to the republiKKKlans and other anti-LGBTQ+ organizations. They have a greater reach and more chance to fatten their wallets that way. THey probably also wanted to give us as much of a slap in the face as they could.
  23. I can't pass up a medium-rare cheeseburger. But if we're talking authentic Mexican tacos, or home made, and not Taco Bell kind of shit, then it's one hell of a hard choice. But I would most likely have to give it to the burger. A big greasy cheeseburger is one of the greatest meals on earth.
  24. Hiking. And the greatest distance would be about 60 miles out and 70 miles back. So about 110 miles total. I decided to take a different route back that was roughly 10 miles longer.
